How to unlock the Baptism by fire achievement in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Definitive Guide
It seems that the mission can "softlocked" for some reason. The doors of the building are closed and you cannot start the mission.
But it seems that i found a wokraround, but please note that this will allow you to clear the achievement while the status of the mission will still be in your to do list
So, here what you need to do.
Go to Zalissya , find some guards that are pacing the town.
Shoot one down, and then revive it.
As soon as you revive him the first wave of attack will start.
Kill them all,
then the game will send you kill some kind of monolith cult leader. follow the marker, kill the target, walk back to Zalissya .
At this point you will need to figth a new wave of ennemies. Once they are killed you will be able to unlock the achievement.
But please note that you will not be able to talk to the oldman to get the reward (until some patch)

Just want to add some notes.
I didn't kill all the monolith waves because some were stuck inside the main building where guns aren't allowed. I killed everyone who managed to get outside though, and had to run around to other building before any managed to get outside.
I couldn't talk to Warlock(the optional part) due to monolith still inside. So I went a took out Uncle Lyonya.
After I came back monolith were still in the building but I was able to talk to Warlock and finish that part of the quest, which than unlocked the achievement.
I chilled in my PDA for a second and than all the monolith managed to get outside and start the final waves.
I had 2 waves left and than was able to talk to Gaffer about wrapping the quest up completely

I got it without killing anyone in zalissya.
Check uncle lyonya's house and kill the few monolithians there, and then go talk to gaffer in zalissya and tell him you can't do what warlock asked.
After I got the achievement and attempted to leave zalissya, gaffer talked on the radio and the enemies spawned.
That's what I did.

**Missable**
After you leave SIRCAA, later on in the main story, head straight for Zalissya. When you arrive there, you will see that Monolith is attacking the Stalkers there. Help to fend off the Monolith attackers, then talk to Gaffer. Select the option to tell him that you can’t do as Warlock asked, and the Baptism by fire achievement will then unlock.

This can be done after you finished SIRCAA story arc.
As you follow your next objective you will hear Grifter's call for help over the radio.
Get back to Zalissya and help fend off Monolithians attack.
Talk with Grifter and then with Warlock and Mykolayich and do their Side Quests.
After you turn in all side quest talk to Grifter and achievement should unlock.
Here's my video guide

I found both Monolithian and Stalkers inside the building so I let the door open for them to trickle outside for combat. that made the quest proper afterwards.
Started from SIRCAA with full weight and offloaded in Sultansk (There was an emission just before Sultansk, barely made it inside) then Fast-travel with guide to Rookie Village and repaired everything, after that straight to Zelissya for the quest and achievement.
If it helps, consider subscribing to the channel.
This is the complete episode for Zelissya defense and this achievement. Hope it helps.

In addition to the fact that the trophy is missable, it is also broken.
At the time of the release version of the game, the trophy and the task in the game are bugged. One of my friends ran to Zalesye without delay, he ran, it was already empty. Another had absolutely the same thing, but he did not leave it like that and he managed to run to Zalesye and save it, through a save rollback. He knocked out the trophy, BUT! Having left the location, they said on the radio that Zalesye was no more. He went back to check and it was really empty.
Waiting for the patch. In the meantime, if you are interested only in the trophy, try to save Zalesye by reloading the save.

A patch has been released that fixed the bug. Now "Zalesie" can be saved. The essence of the salvation is that you must come to the location and perform a series of receipts from local sellers. After completing and killing the guide, Monolith will attack Zalesie. At this stage, I caught the bug. I killed a pack of mobs, but new ones did not spawn. I simply cured it - went and slept.

If you came to Zalesye and nothing happens there and the door to the building where Varta was is closed and does not open, then do the following: roll back to the moment when you left IICHAZ according to the story, do not go to save Professor Lodochkin, but head to Skodovsk and through the conductor to the dump, from there on foot to the additional task of saving Zalesye, in this case, all the scripts will work as they should.
