How to unlock the Bathed in Flames achievement in The Evil Within - Definitive Guide

At the end of chapter 10 you will encounter Laura, which is the weird creature with long hair and multiple limbs. You will need to kill it before running towards the elevator, if you go too far and the cut-scene shows you enter the elevator you will need to reload your last save.

It takes a ridiculous amount of damage before you can kill it. But you can cause a small amount of damage to it by shooting the valves on pipes so it walks into the flames or burning dead bodies when it walks over them. But even after using all of these that were available it didn't die.

So I replayed this chapter on New Game plus so I could use the rocket launcher that you unlock at the end of the game.

I got it without upgrading anything. It is definitely possible on your first run on casual.

Did this on a Survival no-upgrade run for a first playthrough. Definitely possible, you just end up using a ton of ammo.

Tried harpers way didn't work. I burnt her with all the bodies and fire pipes. Then just used the fully upgraded shotgun. Used every bullet but that was all. No rocket launcher or anything else needed. Found it simple really

Harper’s method works perfectly in 2024. It’s such an old game I don’t think it’ll ever be patched. Thanks!

Just wanted to say you absolutely don't have to wait until NG+. I did it on my second attempt with very little effort. (The first time I got instakilled while trying to light a match).
All you have to do is make sure to burn every single body while she is stood over them, use all the flame vents too. Once it got to the room with the long rectangular section in the middle I had her chase me around it while I fired my explosive bolts and sniper at her. Once on the ground floor I used the rest of the fire, then chucked a grenade at her when she spawned in the corner with the explosive on the wall. That was enough to do her in.
Also, shock bolts and freeze bolts will really help when you're trying to set her on fire burning the bodies. It's still possible without but the timing is awkward, and she can instakill you if you get it wrong.

The bitch is back and this Achievement can be very tough. I attempted it for almost 3 hours with no luck on Easy and I had 4 Explosive Bolts, 2 Lightning Bolts, 4 Grenades and ALOT of Ammunition. I burnt every body and hit every valve and nothing killed her so like most I loaded it up on New Game and I would advise anyone going for it to save your sanity and do the same.
With the Rocket Launcher it doesn't take much to kill Laura. So still do the same things,

Light Bodies
Light Valves
Use the Explosives on her

Most importantly is a fact that I have discovered, related to the damage contribution to Laura, that actually counts towards her death. Damaging her, only is ultimately efficient during the final section of her scene. This is when you fall down: I burnt the three bodies located there when she spawned out of them, and once she appeared and was in flames, I hit her eight times by meele (only hit her seven times when you burn the last body, or you will die). I also shot the levers of the two pipes there, and hit her by hot fluids like that - again, I struck her with meele attacks (about three should be save to perform). The other lever there remaining, you can shoot at, can not be used to cause damage to Laura - very ridiculous! Instead, you must damage her by using your own stuff now. I used about ten Flamebolts (No meele during her being flamebolted, because this fire is flagged to cause damage to you too - what a mess!), until she was vanquished. Time to burn that demon of the mind!

Note, that this outcome can be only absolutely reliable, if Meele attack damage and Flamebolt damage are at their ultimate levels, and the game mode is at its lowest level.

Laura must die here to become able to get to some items, including a Goddess Statue for a Locker Key! If you do not kill her there, you will not have the possibility to turn right in front of the elevator there, because your escape will be automatic when exiting the last hallway there at.

Near the end of the chapter 10 you'll fight again against Laura. You'll have to finish her without escaping the area. The first time will be a bit difficult, but if you carry enough material to make bolts (especially fire bolts) it must not be that complicate. Youcan see how to do it in the video.

During the ending of Chapter 10 you will be chased by Laura. You will want to attempt the achievement on New Game Plus, where you have the rocket launcher. When you get to a room where you need to shoot pipes to continue is when you want to start damaging her. Get to the opposite side and freeze her with the freeze bolt, then whip out the rocket launcher and fire a shot into her. Be careful because the launcher has a long reload and you can't move when it is equipped, once Laura is unfrozen switch back to the crossbow quickly. After she take a lot of damage, she will leave. Now shoot the pipes and drop down to the next level. Continue to freeze and fire rockets into her. Also in this section you can use the fire traps as will.

I was able to do this achievement on my first playthrough on Survival mode, without flame bolts. It took several tries but its definitely possible. I did it twice. (see below) I think the key strategy is to use all the available flame traps and blow up the bombs near Laura as you approach the final checkpoint before the elevator. Save your ammo until after the checkpoint before the elevator.

In the last section before the elevator use shock bolts to stun Laura, preferably near bodies, then burn the body which should ignite Laura, then blast away with your best guns. I used the Sniper Rifle and Shotgun mostly, going for headshots, and even had ammo left after the fight. I also used explosive bolts as mines so Laura could walk over them. I didn't create new bolts during the fight since I was too low on parts. I probably used 3 shock bolts, 1 or 2 freeze bolts, 3 explosive bolts, and 4 harpoon bolts during the fight, as well as several shotgun, handgun, and sniper rounds.

After the fight I was able to get the items and Statue key near the elevator, which was my goal since I wanted the collectibles and key achievements on my first playthrough.

NOTE: The elevator section can be glitchy. I actually killed Laura twice. The first time I killed her the achievement popped, but the elevator did not appear where its supposed to so I was stuck. I went to the elevator shaft, jumped, and fell into a black abyss. Eventually I landed and walked around aimlessly for a few minutes in the dark, and restarted the last auto save since I wanted the statue key in my first playthrough. Another time Laura did not appear for the final fight near the elevator, so I tried to get the key but the cutscene prevented me so I restarted.

During Chapter 10: A Craftmen's Tools, you will enter into a chase sequence with Laura which will end when you reach the elevator at the end of the area. In order to obtain this trophy, you must kill Laura before you get on the elevator.

Towards the end of the chase sequence, you're going to enter into a furnace room that contains two shootable valves and three dead zombies. First you'll want to burn the bodies so that Laura can't teleport or respawn from these bodies. If you can manage to lure Laura under the fire traps when you shoot off the valves, that will do a lot of damage to her. If not, however, then you'll have to unload your strongest weapons into Laura after you burn the bodies. It is a lot easier to kill Laura in New Game+ after you've obtained the rocket launcher. The trophy will unlock once you've killed Laura and stepped onto the elevator.

Refer to the video below for further assistance.

New Game + solution
After you complete the game you will get the chance to start a NEW GAME+, which gives you a rocket launcher and a machine gun. With these heavy weapons you will be able to kill Laura quite easily.

The good thing is you don't have to play all chapters again, you can choose chapter 10 in your 2nd playthrough and only have to play this mission up to the boss fight.

The following guide has been copied and pasted from True Achievements and is my guide. I decided to post it here for anyone on PS4 who needs help earning this trophy.

The ultimate pain in the ass achievement! what you really want is to run for the elevator on your first playthrough and aim for this achievement on new game plus. save all your RPG ammo because you really do need them for this or you are in for a tough ride which is what I had to deal with. I spent ten consecutive hours on this screaming at my tv and at myself and when I finally did it I used every last piece of ammo I had. 2 RPG's, (wish i had not used so many earlier in the game) 2 explosive bolts, 2 incendiary bolts, 30 machine gun ammo, 15 rifle ammo, 3 grenades and of course by using matches by setting fire to corpses and setting fire to this vile creature at the same time, not forgetting to shoot pipes and engulf her in flames there, where possible, then I found myself almost out of ammo, I had 3 bullets in my handgun and after using 2 she was still going and to my amazement as I shot my final bullet she went down and the achievement popped.

This achievement is for killing Laura in Chapter 10. This is best done in new game+ when you are upgraded. Throughout the entire section of the chapter you will be chased by Laura. What you will want to do is take advantage of all the valves you need to shoot as a lot of them will spew fire below. That will take some health of her. There are quite a few of these locations. You can also take advantage of trap bombs by shooting them while she is beside them. Even after that she takes a lot of blows even from upgraded weapons before going down. Your best bet is a fully upgraded Harpoon Bolt. Fully upgraded Magnum or a shock\ice bolt + Rocket launcher combo.

Also be aware that she can only be killed in the final room before the elevator. You will know you are in the final room when the elevator is visible from the path blocked by fire. It is a room you drop down into from a hole in the floor.

It is recommended to get the achievement after the first playthrough, through selecting chapters. It will be easier to get through, because... you will be given a rocket launcher (RPG) upon NEW GAME+.

Let's watch the video:

The fact of the matter is that this is not extra work, but time saving.
Who goes for platinum (1000G), the first passage 100% starts in survival mode and does not use green gel for leveling until the very end of the game.

Why create extra work for yourself? The achievement can be achieved easily without a rocket launcher. It is enough to skillfully use fire and your ammunition. We use the pipe plugs (you need to shoot at it), and when Laura is standing groaning from the fire, we use a more powerful weapon. There is nothing complicated. Opened it on the first try on Survival difficulty.
