How to unlock the In the Blink of an Eye achievement in RESIDENT EVIL 2 - Definitive Guide
Take your time after the G boss fight to get all the ammo along the walls before ascending; there's no need to rush at that point. Tyrant is a bit of a sponge and you'll want to make sure you have enough ammo.
To get the most possible time I'd recommend ignoring pickups along the way to the elevator. On Normal I was able to get by with a RGB mix, one first aid spray, and one frag grenade, so you don't need to be overburden your inventory with too many items. There's a typewriter next to the elevator alongside an item box so make sure you save in case you miss your mark.
The Fight
His weak point is not his head, it is his chest.
You'll see an exposed heart right in the center. Smack that sucker with your bullets. As for dodging his attacks, it's pretty straight forward. Don't be stupid and keep your distance. After going to Red health pop your RGB herb and you can be riskier with your time spent shooting as it'll take 6+ hits to take you down as opposed to just 3.
When he roars and crouches he's pretty much begging to have his chest shot, to take your big opportunity there. Get enough shots in and his big attack will get canceled as he recoils from the shots. Be advised that he's charging up a move that will kill you with a lengthy, unskippable cutscene (the horror!) at orange health. I was unable to successfully dodge this move at orange health each time he got it off on me, but (I assume) running to the right might help some.
The rubble that falls will be an indicator of your progress in the fight. First two large pieces will fall, then another group will create a wall making the arena smaller, then you'll get the AT rocket. Blast the fedora tipper right in his smug face before the clock its 5:00:00 and you're gucci.
I was able to pop this without trying for it with 5 seconds to spare after doing quite a bit of fooling around pre-fight to try and nab all the pickupables which were admittedly unneeded. I only used the handgun and found that my ammo supply was perfectly adequate, but that was because I made a surplus of it using two big powders before my fight with G.
Super Tyrant is the final boss during Leon's campaign. This boss will have 2 stages to it and isn't as simple as dealing enough damage. You will first need to damage Super Tyrant to trigger the second stage of the fight, where Ada appears and throws a Rocket Launcher to you. You need to use this to kill it, as no other weapons can. Much like with "With Time to Spare" above, this is better attempted on Easy so you don't have to deal as much damage to Super Tyrant to trigger the second stage of the fight, thus shortening the amount of time it takes to kill it. The video below details the path to take and ultimately how to unlock this achievement.

We stock up on 2-3 healers, take a couple of knives, grenades, a shotgun and a dessert of needles, do not forget to leave 2 empty cells in your inventory, you will need them to take the quest item first, and then the weapon .
It’s almost impossible to turn the wrong way; you can run past all the enemies, except for 1-2 “flowers,” but they can be immobilized with a shotgun blast and quickly run past. As a last resort, you have knives.
Boss battle is simple, see video. I was stupid and he almost beat me a couple of times, but still managed with a 1 minute margin.
You can pass the boss without causing him any damage, but then you won’t meet the deadline:
If you do no damage at all, the final argument in the form of a bazooka will fall approximately 3:40 before the explosion.
