How to unlock the Heavy Reader achievement in Metro 2033 Redux - Definitive Guide

The Heavy Reader achievement is earned by killing one of the mutant creatures of the now apocalyptic Moscow named librarians which resemble Apes on the level Depository.
First thing you should know is that these things are the ground version of demons except can actually be hit much easier but still hurt when they hit you which (on normal) can get you all the way down in the low health state so be carefull to avoid that.
A second thing you should be aware of is that they are bullet sponges and will take quite abit of ammo to take down, so make sure you have your guns reloaded and air filter changed before taking on one of these!

Now we have that sorted let's start the guide!
When you enter the level depository, you will see the big hulking ape laying there looking away from you down the stairs. First things first, use either a sticky bomb or flame grenade and get the first hit on it, then you can easily train it around the stone pillars in the room but it make decide to run up the hole above you, if it does this keep shooting it and it will come back and fight you. It's best to do this on the very first one as the ones later on in the level have another one around them which isn't ideal since one of them can near one hit you and dry up all your ammo.

I hope this guide has helped, if there is anything wrong please let me know in the comments and I will change what needs to be changed wave

Got it on the first one as we'll threw a sticky bomb and another. Then ran away like hell. Killed him instantly and Cuervo popped.

Location is great to kill one of these.
Killed him using 3 incendiary grenades, not a single shot.

Thanks!

This is the most easy Achievement in the game if done right.

HAVE A FIREGRENADE READY.

As soon as you enter the Level after the Library there is one right in front of you in the middle of the room. Throw the firegrenade at him from safe distance, watch him burn to death.

And thats it.

Using the walkthrough provided on here by SwelterinBeaver, Vitiated1, and LifeExpectancy, I got this using only 2-3 grenades. Soon as Depository starts, you will see a Librarian with it's back to you ahead on a lower floor section. Quickly select grenades by holding cn_Y and using the cn_dpad to select your choice of grenades (I used regular ones) and then use cn_RB to pelt the sucker with your grenades. The Librarian should go down in about 2 hits.

Good hunting!

Notorious for being one of the most dangerous and intelligent mutants within the game, Librarians are very large and powerful gorilla-like enemies. It is highly recommended dealing with a Librarian during the Spartan Mode playthrough since you will have plenty of resources at hand.

In short, Librians will only be encountered in combat twice throughout your playthrough. These occurrences take place during levels “Depository” and “Archives.” As for dealing with these beasts, shotguns and flame grenades seem to work best against them. Whichever way you choose to kill them, this achievement will unlock upon killing at least one Librarian.

Librarians are large, gorilla-like creatures encountered in the Depository and Archives chapters and are very powerful and quite fast. The best way to kill one of these beasts is to throw a flame grenade or two and use a shotgun in combination, killing them in whichever way you decide will earn you the trophy.

In the depository chapter, just fire a shell at the librarians (the gorilla like enemy) until it dies. A quick shell firing weapon is recommended

Location Library, as soon as we parted with the Miller, we go down to the archives and there will be a sort of Yeti standing there) We throw studded grenades at him and he’s dead) By the way, there will be a lot of librarians there, and the necessary grenades are scattered around the level, so you’ll definitely get the trophy.

The main thing is to use grenades! When I played this level for the first time, I spent all the ammo and dropped all the filters during the battle with the first librarian. Grenades (especially spiked ones) do much more damage to him than a couple of Velopal clips.

Book Depository. The librarian stands with his back motionless. We throw 3 ordinary grenades at his feet. Profit!
