There are 5 places that you have to defend during this achievement. The aim is to complete the area as quickly as possible while completing the feats to build morale. It starts once you fly up to the palace penthouse. (This was my solution for Normal difficulty)
The first area is being attacked by the Jotun and you have to hammer throw the guys as they approach. This section is rather easy just be sure to take note of the small jade guys as they can be quite fast.
Area 2 is the training ground where attack drills are being launched. For this section hammer throw the drills as they come up until the enemies appear. Use lightning (Tap Y) to kill the scorchers but leave the big guys. Destroy the next wave of drills and then use Lightning storm (Hold Y) to kill all the enemies left, this is easier if you have the upgrade for the lightning. Use the rune draw to refill your Odinforce. repeat this 2 wave pattern until all drills are down.
Area 3 is the Frozen Horn. Quickly run forward and charge the first rune. Head NW and as you reach the enemies unleash a lightning storm and take them down.
Charge the NW rune. Run towards the last rune and when you get to the big guys unleash another storm, try to get all the big guys as they may try to take the runes back. Charge the last rune ignoring any small jade bots. Now you have all 3 points just clear up the remaining enemies, before blowing the horn.
For Area 4 you must defend the horn from the turrets. Run around a bit until a few of the big guys have surrounded you and then use lightning storm, this will rapidly build your rage meter. If necessary use another storm or just a few strikes to build it to full and then press RB. Use rune draw to fill your force and then repeat the above another 3 times. Simple.
If you run out of force grapple some weak enemies and use throw (B) to get some more.
The last section is a fight with a frost Goliath. You should know how to take these guys down by now, use earthquake and hammer throws to open up the grab point, then climb up to the head and use 2 melee hits and a power hit. Repeat as necessary, going for the head when possible followed by the chest.
You then have to complete the bomb section but you don't lose morale during this part. If you did each part well the achievement will pop after you fly back from the bomb section.
Don't forget you can save after each section, replenishing health and force, and allowing you to retry until you are happy with the outcome.

Great post and a big help for the last level.
Either for lack of ability or strategy I couldn't take the Frost Goliath down quickly enough to maintain 75%. But he's available after the first 2 missions. If you fight the Goliath third, you can then do the horn missions 4th and 5th. I think my morale was about 10% after the frost goliath but after the two horn missions I got it back to 90%. Rune draw is critical for some of these missions.

Just wanted to add this. As the frost Goliath is somewhat difficult if you don't know how to take him down fast. Also my morale was at 40% when I killed him and it jumped up to the full 100%.
Because he regenerates you must first disable the stuff on his back. So first use special hammer trow or I used x,x,hold y to stun him. When you get the grapple possibility go around and grapple him in the back and press y. Now he won't be able to regenerate any more. Then repeat this and take out both limbs with x,x,y. Then hit the chest 5 times using x, then y. Last pound his chest using x, he will try to squash you, quickly press x and you will rip the guy out of the goliaths chest.
That should kill him fairly quickly.
Just posting this cause I didn't find this info anywhere and I was failing this part a lot.

During Asgard Besieged, you will have a Morale meter that continually drops. You must complete this section and get to the Scabrite bomb with 75% Morale when you finish. There are 5 sections to complete with the Morale meter:
- Defend the Ramparts
- Reclaim the Gjallarhorn
- Defend the Gjallarhorn
- Fight off the Frost Giant
- Destroy the Infernir Drills
Play through this section once to get a feel for each section, then load an earlier save and give it another go if you don't manage it. This isn't too hard, especially on Easy.
