How to unlock the Crash Landing achievement in Thor: God of Thunder - Definitive Guide

Here is a faster way. Make it to the save rune listed above without messing around as Failed stated above. Fight the boss as normal and if the achievement does not pop immediately after the boss dies, press the guide button and dashboard it. Then select continue game, you will start at the rune stone before the boss and just beating him in the set time will net you the achievement.
Hope it work for everyone.

Thank you so much for sparing my nuts another beating! I only tried it once before reading this I suppose but this meant I only had to spend the 20 minutes getting there one more time. Missed it by probably 30 seconds and then quit to dash and continued. I had wondered if the "Saving..." I saw would work and you confirmed it. It didn't pop for me until I hit RB to smash the shield or whatever, wasn't clear if that needed to be done in your solution.

I am pretty sure this solution worked. I guess the problem, is not knowing what to expect the 1st time playing, and then realizing that here is no way simply redo this part of the mission because there is no check point.

That being said, I am pretty sure I was close to the 3 minute mark when I reached the save point. This save point is also an auto save point (if you have auto save on), so even if you do not manually save at this point, the game will auto save (I manually save at every save point, in case I miss a collectable, or feat).

Probably cut-scenes do not count in the timing, but I do not think I killed the boss in less that 1 minute. The 1st 3-4 times I killed the boss, and waited for the achievement to pop, and it did not, but then realized that I needed to destroy the drill by pressing RB after killing the boss, and thus on my 5th try I pressed RB and immediately popped the achievement. I did dashboard out every time prior.

Thanks for the tip, as this could have been a massive pain in the butt achievement.

It's best to try this with a fully upgraded character on East (Skrealing).

In Chapter 11, after you release the 2 Anchors you'll land on the big drill, this is the start of the timer.

TACTICS:
Run ahead into the first room and activate the rune on the left, run to the next room along, ignore all enemies and activate the rune (you may get hit once).

Same again, run to the next room but this time the door will lock and some flying enemies will appear. Use Hammer Throw to kill them quickly and soon Scorchers will spawn and try and blow you up. Just hit them once on Easy to kill them.
At the end lots will spawn, use Lightning if you have it or just melee them with an AoE attack (XXX,Y).

Run into the now open room and activate rune 3, run around to the final room, ignore all enemies again and you'll have a door this time. Open it, then on your left is a save point, use this but don't save.

In the next room a Flame Goliath is waiting for you. Don't grapple him. With your full mana bar use Right Stick + RT to throw your hammer at the Goliath repeatadly until either he dies or you run out of mana. If you run out, finish him off with whatever moves you want. LT then RT for stun, plus a jump combo should be enough.

He may pull up his flame shield, requiring you to jump onto the balcony and aim throw at his glowing yellow head. This will do decent damage. When he dies, use R1 to activate Rage and the achievement pops straight away. So does a checkpoint though, so if you didn't get it. The last save was way back at the start of Chapter 11.

During Muspelheim, you will pull out two anchors and then travel to the big Drill in the sky. From here, run around the outside and look for the three rooms with levers which you can energize with Mjolnir in order to open the gate. In between rooms, you may have to take down some enemies before the doors will open, so dispatch them as soon as possible. Once you've activated all three levers, continue around the Drill and into the door. Take down the Fire Giant boss in here, and if you've done it in time, you'll get this trophy. Note: Unlike the others, there's an autosave between the Drill exterior and the Fire Giant boss inside. If you don't get the trophy, you can quit and continue from the boss, but not the exterior.
