1. The first part of the mission is a rail shooter through an icy trench. You want to avoid the outcroppings while shooting balls of rock. In general you can't actually collide with the walls of the trench unless they're showing a glowing green grid. There are three separate "dodge" sections, and you might get through the first time without dying, but if not, it's all about memorizing the patterns. In the left-right sections be sure to use the A button while moving side to side to get over quickly. If you're low on health at the end, don't worry -- you'll get it all back when the next section starts.
2. You'll need to run forward across an ice field as meteors hit the surface and cause it to break up. It's really hard to die here, so just make sure you jump when the crevasses open up. There'll be two cutscenes where you may not be sure if you died or not because the screen washes out after a meteor strike -- don't worry about those. Use your glide (A+hold A) to make sure you float over longer gaps.
3. Finally there'll be a series of platform jumping sections followed by short "arena" areas where you fight Zurg's robots. If a gap looks too long to double jump + hover over, take a moment to look around. You'll usually need to create new platforms when this happens, which will happen in one of two ways: a) if the platform is glowing green, then double jump + smash (A + A + Y) to break it into pieces. b) you might see a crystal on a platform in the distance. Laser it (RT) until it explodes, causing pieces to float outwards. Patience and examination are key here if you're playing the first time.
When you open the air spouts make sure you stomp the floating pieces of ice into the ground to plug up any secondary holes and maximize the air flow.
In the last platforming section there are pieces that move around in patterns that you'll need to cross. This may be the only frustrating part for you. Just wait until the piece you want is nearby and jump over -- don't try to rush it.
If you lose all your health, or you fall off a platform into space, then you won't get the achievement. Save & quit back out to the game board and start the level over again.
The achievement will unlock as soon as you fall through the entrance hole into Zurg's base.

The level is straight forward enough and there aren't any hard parts to beat, it might take you a few attempts for trial and error, but it's really not as hard as it might seem at first, just take your time and don't try and rush it, now rather then provide you with a wall of text and trying to walk you through each part of the level I've provided a set of videos below, you can use them to see what you should expect, where to expect it, what you should be doing etc.

Thanks to Hustlinonradio for his input to this achievement which I’ve tweaked below.
The flight section is fairly easy if you just rapidly shoot and remember to press 
to dodge left and right plus move up and down to go through the holes. The section after this with the meteor shower is the easiest part of this since you can just walk in a straight line and you will not be hit. The platforming section after this is the toughest part of the mission and you need to be careful and definitely be on the fragments or else you may fall off.
Also, I suggest not getting any of the collectibles when you are making this run. At the first geyser location avoid the fight completely by just jumping into the geyser and skipping to the next section. At the second geyser location, kill the spiders first and be aware that when they die, they send out a shock wave ring that can hurt Buzz, but can be easily dodged by jumping.
After killing the spiders, destroy the main crystal and then pound the 2 pieces back into the ground quickly. You can then leap into the geyser again to avoid the fight. The next platforming section is the toughest one yet as the rock fragments are moving. Make sure that you are really close to where you are jumping so you can land easily on it because even if you are on the edge and get the climbing animation you will fail because of the constant movement of the fragments. Just take your time and you should succeed.
Finally, on the last area with the third geyser try and rush to accomplish the goal right away before you are overwhelmed. There are five rock pieces to push back into place. The first two can be reached by jumping. The other three require you to use the geyser and float to them. While pushing them into place destroy only what you have too and when you put the last one in place quickly rush to the geyser to float away to safety. However, if you are engaging with the enemies, I suggest doing it fast and take advantage of the crystals and the spider robots because these can clear multiple enemies and with the spiders the whole field. Either way, after you jump the last geyser and use your laser on the Zurg turret, fall in the hole and the achievement unlocks.

This is done on the first part of story mode level 3. Thanks to Hustlinonradio for his input to this trophy which I’ve tweaked below.

The next platforming section is the toughest one yet as the rock fragments are moving. Make sure that you are really careful when jumping to the platforms because even if you are on the edge and get the climbing animation you could still fall because of the constant movement of the platforms. Just take your time and use hover if needed and you should succeed.
Finally, on the last area with the third geyser try and rush to accomplish the goal right away before you are overwhelmed. Before destoying the vibrating crystal, walk around and destroy the 4 spiders in the area. Once that is done, destroy the main crystal and there are 5 rock pieces to push back into place. The first 2 can be reached by jumping. So do that to the 2 farthest from the geyser. The other three require you to use the geyser and float to them. While pounding them into place destroy only what you have too and when you put the last one in place quickly rush to the geyser to float away to safety.
