How to unlock the Heavy Reader achievement in Metro 2033 Redux - Definitive Guide
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
Killed him using 3 incendiary grenades, not a single shot.
Thanks!
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.
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.
