Scarlet Medal. This solution contains plot spoilers, so, you've been warned.

This achievement deals with the second fight with Atlas in the Bresha Ruins in AF 5. Specifically you need to finish the battle with a 5 star rating. Weakening Atlas by interacting with his control terminal is not required but is highly recommended, especially if going for this the first time around as you'll likely be too weak to 5 star the full powered version. It's possible, but to make the solution as easy to complete as possible, we'll assume you're going to weaken Atlas.

You'll initially fight Atlas as soon as you enter the zone. After that you'll be given access to the ruins and your objective will be to destroy him. As you near him in the ruins, you will get a split objective to try to control him by activating a machine in an underground section. Do so, and you'll have an easy puzzle level to deal with. After this, head back for Atlas and defeat him as quickly as possible. 5 star the battle, and the achievement is yours.

As Sludge mentioned above, to get this achievement, you must beat Atlas at the end of chapter 2. Just for different purposes, I decided to make a video on how to unlock the achievement. Also,playing on easy will maker it tougher to get 5 stars on the fight.

*Note- I also show how to unlock Budding Hunter and Staggering. I know these really aren't video material, but I thought doing a video even on easy things is still nice.

Just wanted to add to Sludge and Night great description that it doesn't have to be the first time you are here.
A little later on you can close the gate and re-do this level. You'll be a lot stronger. Flick the switch and go give Atlas a lesson in manners and it'll pop.

And just like LazTurn said, you can come back and teach him a lesson post-story.
It just popped for me and I beat him full-strength with a 5-star rating for the paradox ending.
