How to unlock the COLD AS ICE achievement in UnMetal - Definitive Guide
This is earned at the end of Stage 2.
During the boss fight against Sewerjunk, you cannot use the flamethrower at any point. You can use the sling shot to damage Sewerjunk or you can use your fists. If you use your fists, you’re going to need to have the raft equipped. When Sewerjunk comes up from underwater, put the raft down in front of it with Square/X. Step onto the raft and quickly punch the boss.
Eventually, you’ll need to make a choice of how many tentacles the boss has. Do not choose two. I went with six. You’re going to have to dodge projectiles during this phase. The boss will also grab the platform in front of it with tentacles. All you have to do here is punch the tentacles and they’ll retract. There will be a small window of time after getting the tentacles off of the platform where you’ll be able to put the raft back down and do more damage.

So when I played it a bunch of rats rushed out. I assume it was tied to my answer about the rat question earlier. Might be worth putting that in your post. Made it impossible to get this achievement.

First off, make sure to pick up the medal during the fight. Second off, this will be difficult depending on what difficulty level you are playing the game on.
If you are playing on Hard, a horde of rats will spawn every now and then making your job much harder than it needs to be.
Okay, you can use your fists or slingshot to damage the boss as long as it's not flamethrower.
Equip Platform and as soon as Sewerjunk spawns, go near it and put the platform between the boss and you, and keep punching him until he goes down in the water.
When you get to choose how many tentacles it has, pick 6. This will save you a lot of trouble trust me.
Rolling under it's "bullets" does you no harm so keep this in mind.
Later on when it's HP is lower, the boss will destroy parts of the terrain as well as stick his tentacles on the pathway. When he does that, punch them a few times until they retract, this will make space for you to place the platform and keep punching him again.
Do this until his HP is empty, and when the game asks you what happened with the flamethrower, choose the second option.
