How to unlock the The Hand of God achievement in VANQUISH - Definitive Guide

Earliest you can get this is M1-7, Disc Launcher doesn't seem to count for some reason (or the AI shooting the Railgun is at fault) so boostkick each of the Romanovs twice for a kill.
The Romanov in the middle is always killed by the AI - so I would go for the one on the right and use the one that shows up with the lift as your 2nd since for some reason the Romanov on the left didn't count during my first 2 attempts.

The most important word in the achievement's description, is "only". An easy Act to get this achievement on, is Act 2-1 (River) on casual difficulty, but there will be other opportunities later in the game as well. On Act 2-1, you'll come out in the open where you will find 2 Romanovs.

Get close to one, melee attack it with , and seek cover with as your ARS temperature gauge will indicate it's overheated. Solty has suggested not to use the disc launcher, as it will launch a disc at the end of the melee attack, and thus it won't count as a melee. Boost-melee seems to be quite destructive! Rinse and repeat these steps. Focus on one Romanov at a time. But never shoot at the Romanov, only melee attacks. It's alright if your NPC teammates shoot at it, as long as you don't!! If you accidentally shot one, press and reload the last checkpoint, then try again. On casual difficulty this shouldn't be a challenge at all, as you almost seem invulnerable.

Since you can only use melee attacks to get this achievement, it will also unlock the "Romanov This!" one.

The easiest way to get it is at the beginning of Act 3-1 after the first checkpoint. Having got rid of two enemy transport workers, as well as three snipers on the next roof, we meet a new type of robot, “Romanov”. We pick up a shotgun and give it a roundhouse hit to one of the robots (the second, as a rule, will be distracted by your brothers in arms). 6-7 such blows will send the adversary to his forefathers. Having dealt with the first robot, we take on the second.

It is important to remember that it is you who must deliver the finishing blow, so friendly forces can weaken Romanov, but it is your responsibility to remove the remaining health bar.

PS: obtaining this trophy is automatically combined with the Romanov This!

Also a great place to get a trophy at the beginning of Acts 1-7, there are as many as 3 Romanovs, here is a video for clarity https://youtu.be/DlUyChu_W1g

It is faster to destroy robots using a combined attack. First we slide by pressing , when approaching Romanov, press circle. 3 - 4 such attacks and the enemy is eliminated.
