+1 I could not shoot the chicken, but holding one and changing arrows with cn_up it dropped weirdly and I shoot it that way, cheevo popped and I've recorded a video to make an easy solution, but before making one checked all other.. Why I did not looked yours solution before?)

Thanks for all the +1's and comments. I tried other solutions that people posted and couldnt do it, and then stumbled across my solution completely by accident! Kudos to those who gave a +1 and FU to the muppet who gave a negative vote....probably someone who gave another solution that doesnt work!

well, for me it would not stand on it's head, it stuttered around, and i shot more than 10 arrows into 2 different chickens each, wasted all my gas and it didn't unlock. perhaps life is different on the Xenhanced. but then again, i did hit chickens against the wall and it didn't unlock either. Not done..unlocking either. what a waste.

I can confirm this achievement does work after you get the fire arrow upgrade (to blue fire). I used the method of picking the chicken up, pressing up on the D pad to change arrows then shooting the chicken. It took about 12 arrows for the game to recognize but after failing to throw/using countless chickens and arrows, I’m simply glad I didn’t have to start a new game because of that upgrade!

Worked great for me too! D-pad to change arrows dropped the chicked into a glitched upside-down state, I shot it twice with the blue fire arrows and cheevo popped. I gave up on this achievement years ago but got it in two minutes now. Cheers!

So glad I read the comments! I'd almost given up on this but tried one more time and after 4 or 5 arrows it popped. Might be worth adding that to the solution since it's happened to other players. Thanks for the guide!

Thanks for the solution but even more so thanks for the comments that it takes several arrows. I tried once after reading the solution then when it didn't work tried several times the "throw a chicken in the air/against a wall and try to hit it" method before giving up and reading the comments. 5 flame arrows into an upside down chicken later it popped.

Took me also 4-5 tries, maybe you need to be a little bit quick. But thanks to the solution it takes only 2,3 minutes.

I finally got this on my third playthrough after 5 years. I thought it was bugged although like someone above wrote, if it is not popping after you shot it once, you should keep on shooting the chicken over and over until it pops. You run out of arrows, craft more and keep on shooting it.

This is the Rotisserie achievement for hitting a chicken while it's in the air with a fire arrow. Load up "The Village", click continue, or just progress to that level in order to easily do this. Move your way across the level up towards the ruins just past where the people have a rally. There will be a ton of chickens roaming, run and grab one. Find a wall post that's high, then throw and try to shoot just below the chicken as it's falling with the fire arrow. It's sensitive so fairly easy to get, may take a couple tries. Video guide attached below.

So I stumbled upon this by accident. I grabbed a chicken and then realized my bow wasn't equipped so I pressed up on the dpad to equip it, the chicken dropped on its back so I decided to shoot it with a fire arrow and the achievement popped. I tried it a few times afterward at the same spot to ensure the chicken fell on it's back everytime and it did. I did this beside the well in Geothermal valley, valley farmstead base camp.

This is the first achievement I've ever had completely glitch on me.

Done every method dozens of times and it just won't pop! I even tried reinstalling the game and doing fresh runs but still nothing. Guess it's 142/143 for me on this one...

UPDATE: After deleting all my save data from everywhere and playing through the game again, it finally popped for me after shooting one out of the air legit. Dropping on the floor or rolling off the rock still didn't work in my case but luckily I seem to be unique in this problem judging from everyone else's comments.

Para pegar de maneira facil este troféu, sem precisar correr atrás de galinhas, vá até o Vale Geotérmico, no Acampamento nas Ruínas, pegue uma galinha próximo a fogueira, agora se posicione entre a fogueira e as pessoas reunidas. Fique de frente para elas e no topo da escada, jogue a galinha bem alto e tente acertá-la com a flecha de fogo, se errar espere a galinha correr até os seus pés, pegue-a e repita o processo até conseguir.

All these solutions work BUT I think I found a super easy way of getting this done without leaving, hassles or wasted fire arrows. Right from the Ruins Campfire where all the chickens are, don't move at all and look for a little sloped rock behind some wooden fencing. It's sloped just enough to have the chicken fall and also slow enough to be able to lock in a good shot. Grab a chicken and enjoy!

English:
Rotisserie -
Grab a chicken (cn_S) and set it down (holdcn_O) and it should stay on its head with the feet in the air for a short moment. As long as it has its feet in the air, shoot a fire-arrow on it and the trophy is yours.

German:
Grillhähnchen
Einfach ein Huhn greifen (mit cn_S) und dieses absetzen (cn_O halten)...dieses sollte nun auf dem Kopf stehen für einen kurzen Moment. Solange es die Füße in der Luft hat einen Feuerpfeil auf das Huhn schießen und der Erfolg gehört euch.

I tried using the other guides, but luck was not on my side. I found a spot that allows a chicken to be suspended in the air for a few extra seconds, giving you time to roast that sucker without having to rely on luck quite as much.

I did this while traveling through the geothermal area during the story. Starting at the base camp AQUEDUCT RUINS, travel to the ACROPOLIS. Right as you enter the doorway, you will see stuff lying around and burning along with 2 chickens. Lara will also have a short convo with Jacob. At the end of the manmade archway you come through, there are rock walls on either side. If you look at the wall to the left (with your back to the door) you will see the upper portion of the wall juts out from the lower portion. Aim for the area of this wall right next to where the brick ends. If you throw a chicken at this part of the wall, it will get stuck for a couple seconds before falling further down. This will give you the time you need to pull out that fire arrow and roast it.

If you mess up or kill the 2 chickens without getting the cheevo, you can just reload checkpoint. Hope this helps! clap

Fast travel to Geothermal Valley - Ruins Encampment Base Camp. Make sure it is Daytime, in the night the chickens are gone. Pick up a chicken and go to the point in the video, throw the chicken against the wall and shoot him with fire arrows when it comes down the rock.

Ruins Encampment - Geothermal Valley

I could not get the chickens to roll down the rocks as they just kept glitching through and appearing behind me. Instead of using the rocks, I threw one against the tallest tree in the bonfire area which has no foliage at the top. Got it first time.

Another easy method is to grab the chicked, keep pressed cn_LT and then cn_up (while the cn_LT is still pressed). Chicken will be dropped and you can shoot it on the ground with fire arrows cn_RB.

This is probably one of my favorite achievements, as it made me giggle. You can do this once you've reached the Geothermal Valley at the Valley Farmstead base camp. There is a challenge for running around chasing chickens and tossing them into the pen. Now to throw a small wrench in that plan, you can throw them UP and shoot them. You do have to use a bow which makes it harder however. Before you can attempt this, note that you MUST HAVE FIRE ARROWS. No getting around that one. Here is a video if you are having issues:

In free roam, fast travel to the campfire "Valley Farmstead" or "Ruins Encampment" in the Geothermal Valley. There are usually some chickens near those campfires (if they are not there, fast travel between the two camps and they will spawn in). Run up to a chicken and press to grab it. Now drop it down by selecting the bow in the weapon wheel. The chicken will get stuck with its head in the ground and for some reason this counts as being in the air. While the chicken is stuck, you must ready a fire arrow and shoot it but you can also do it the legit way and actually throw it up in the air above you then quickly shoot a fire arrow and hit it mid-air.

Fast travel to the Ruins Encampment base camp in the Geothermal Valley, where you should find a group of chickens (if not, fast travel elsewhere and return). Pick one of them up (they'll run away when you approach and you'll need to give chase), then simply drop it by arming a weapon and it'll land on its head. The game seems to consider this as still being airborne, so arm a fire arrow and shoot the chicken to unlock the achievement.

Level 'geothermal valley', grab the chicken in your hands, switch to the bow, the chicken falls with its paws towards the top, shoot with a fiery arrow and get a trophy.

Not fixed. Today I got it using the method from the 2nd tip. True, I had to shoot 3 times. The last shot, after which the trophy fell, was reinforced.

You need to shoot the chicken with full bow tension.

I did it according to the tips above and it didn’t fall out either with or without a tightly stretched bowstring. I tried to hit it in the air, also to no avail. In the end, I decided to take fire damage like in the first video and lo and behold, the trophy clanged. In general, the trophy falls out strangely..

Geothermal valley, after lighting a large fire on the tower, you get fiery arrows, go back down, take the chicken, throw it up, shoot with a fiery arrow, just pressed the shot, do not pull the string, the trophy immediately fell out

I couldn’t achieve this achievement for a long time because I couldn’t hit the flying chicken. But I found a funny bug:
- select fire arrows;
- catch a chicken;
- press up, the chicken falls out of your hands and sits in place, you cannot catch it again;
- shoot the chicken and get the achievement.
Subscribe if it worked for you too.
