Another great spot is in the city of Moresby. There is a safe house / fast travel spot called Square Abandoned House in the south central area of the map.

Once there, head north on the road. There is a bus with 2 groups of 4 zombies south of the bus and one group of 4 zombies to the north. I just aggravated the groups and went inside the bus.

If you keep kicking at a door, the zombies cannot get in. Just wait until they all bunch up and throw a molotov.

I did this achievement on the Resort beach. I used 2 items, the molotov and meat bait. Just run around the beach gathering up 10 undead, throw the meat bait, let the zombies gather up and toss your cocktail and the achievement should be yours.

Credit for this video goes to AchievementHunter. On the video it also shows you how to get Gesundheit! and Oh No You Don't if you need those also. But for Light My Fire which starts at 2:18, make sure you have a couple Molotov's and meat bait also helps, though they didn't use any themselves.

EDIT: The Meat Bait is a mod that you get from Mother Helen after the "Drop By Drop" which is one of the main quests. You need 3 meat and 1 duct tape for it. And its regular meat you need, not floater or suicider. To get meat you have to smash a zombies head, so you will need a blunt weapon.

EDIT: Credit to DarknessCalling - If you aim a shotgun at a zombies head and manage to blow it off you can usually you can find meat near the body.

In the City of Moresby, around the middle part and closer to the beach there is a big alleyway that is filled with a bunch of vehicles as well as a lot of zombies. There is a yellow truck at the bottom of stairs leading into the alley. Jump on top of the truck and you will attract 10-12 zombies within a matter of seconds. Toss your molotov down and you should get it very easily. You also might light yourself on fire, but will still get the achievement. If you can't get them around the truck then just shoot them ONCE and they will go to you. BE AWARE of Suiciders. I tried the beach at least five times but never got it to work, this way worked first try. Good luck!

For this one I went over to the entrance of the big hotel where there are fountains and crashed buses. Usually there are a lot of zombies around there.

Now walk around and get them all angry and craving your blood. You should see a parked car in that area that is yellow and has the trunk door open. Get the zombies following you and jump up there. They shouldn't be able to get you up there and will just stand against the car reaching up at you.

Select you molatav and make sure you have at least ten zombies. Count carefully because when I did it some would mysteriously disappear and I would have to go round up more. The reason you want them to gather around the car is because they all bunch up in a nice group that way.

When you're ready jump off the car and throw the molatav at the center of the group right away. If you had at least ten the achievement is yours.

OK this can be done really easy. The first thing you need to do is have meat bait and have molotov (you also have choice of using incendiary grenade, for the record im not a 100% sure tho. ) .I did it in act 2 by the warehouse. Ok so what you should is start of luring the 3 zombies by the drug store, then lure the 2-3 zombies by the bus(reason i say 2-3 is because there can be a suicide zombie) the run up the hill making sure the zombies are following you then there are 5-9 zombies up top hill.when u get them close together throw the meat bait( if u dont u will be killed) then when there all together threw molotov and u got it.

Ill try make a video of me doing this so u will see how it done. Now i just got learn how make the video lol.....

This isn’t a guide but more of a tip when attempting this achievement. Sometimes when you are getting ready to throw the Molotov the zombies might randomly lose interest and start walking away. Shoot them in the leg with a gun one time and it will regain their attention. (Be careful not to kill them.) They should go back to your position with the rest of the zombies. This will come in handy if you have 10 zombies ready to go but one starts straggling away.

**Requires Bloodbath Arena DLC**

A VERY, VERY Easy way to do this is going into the Bloodbath Arena - Arena C (Hard) and fight to Wave 4-5 when you see that 12 enemies spawned grab out your Molotov and start running around,

Keep a close eye on your Radar you will see all of them are running against each other behind you,

now throw your molotov on the first zombie in the group and your achieve will pop without any trouble =)

Yes, just like Chad said, they do tend to run away.. But just throw a weapon or shoot at them and they'll head your way.

Molotovs are kinda hard to come by, but I had 7 at the time I went for this achievement. If you don't have any, make one at a bench if you have the schematic, if not then talk to the guy that does "Firey Drinks" quest, and he'll make you one for the price of 5 (I think it's 5.. could be more, could be less) alcohols.

I do not have a video, but I got this one in the parking lot of the Hotel area. There are plenty of zombies. There is usually one standing by the road, a few on the way in, 3 or 4 playing dead/eating other humans, and 2-3ish on closer to the hotel. The hardest part of this achievement is roundin' them all up. Once all 10 a rounded up there is some type of vehicle not far from the zombies and just try to crowd them around the vehicle by jumping on top of it. They'll reach for you, but they cannot get to you. Just make sure you have more than one molotov as it's hard to tell how many you gathered with them jumping everywhere and shuffling. Then throw the molotov... At least try counting first.. If there are too many to count, then you probably have enough. The best way is to count them out as you round them up.

If you did this and didn't get ten, either fast travel somewhere and come back or reload your checkpoint and they'll be back waiting for another go.

All in all, this one isn't too hard. :D

All these guides are great and I would have used *mast3r 0r0m1s* guide if i hadn't have accidentally got it, but here's how I did it.

If you have the Arena DLC like me you'll know that once you get to around wave 15-20 there'll be around 25-30 zombies spawning at a time. So what I did was wait until a bit later in the round when all the zombies had a chance to gather up and chase me and when they were all huddled i threw a Molotov and the achievement popped.

Note: You could use the Meat Bait to make it easier but i didn't find it necessary. I also did this on the Easy Stage as well.

Thanks. Hope this helps.

Me and a friend tested this and it seems that the zombies you "light up" DON'T have to be alive.
When we did this there was only 3-4 walking zombies the rest were just corpses on the floor which also caught fire, So if you are having problems getting this achievement try killing a mob of zombies in one spot but keep a few alive, then toss a Molotov at the pile.
I found the easiest way if in the DLC bloodbath arena D (Moderate) then going up the stairs on the far side from spawn (Near the camp fire) Here if you stand at the top of these stairs the zombies will only be able to get to you via these stairs, so after a few rounds when you are getting larger mobs of enemies this is perfect for getting this achievement.

just to add to all the great guides here i had problems getting this then i figured out why you must have 10 walkers the other 5 times i tried i had 9 walkers and 1 infected zombie with no cheevo popping so instead got 10 walkers no infected and boom unlocked the 1st time.

Solution for getting meat for the Meat Bait.
* Travel to Moresby.
* Go to the infected area, the one is barricaded with concretwalls. Between Church and Warehouse.
* Start swinging your blunt weapon and try to kill the infected with head shots.

(only way to get meat is to kill infected with blunt weapon, stomp, or high caliber gun).

It will spawn a lot of them so don't worry!
I have tried this with 1.3.0 patch and it works great.
