    In chapter 11 you will get to have some fun with the rhino.

    The Rhino has 2 attacks, the charge and later in the fight a stomp. You can get hit by the stomp and still get the achievement. If you take a hit from the charge, just pause and go back to the checkpoint at the start of the fight.

    Depending on your play style, you may be more comfortable dodging with the cloud instead of on foot. Whichever works best for you. Note that the Rhino does not charge in a straight line, it will adjust it's course to try and hit you. Keep that in mind as you dodge.

    For the general details of how to beat the level, see Solution for Swine Flew In Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

    The video below shows one way to go about it.

    deathmachin3Dear lord this achievement was a pain and the camera didn't help.

    Limerent DeathI fucking can't stand this achievement. The cutscenes and camera fuck me up every goddamn time. In two days I must've tried this crap at least 30 times. I do everything flawlessly until the camera and the character replacement sets me up for failure. It's really, really, really turning me off.

    Slam Shot SamWorth nothing this is a hell of a lot easier on easy mode. It only charges in straight lines making it incredibly easy to dodge, I combined it with the achievement for saving Trip from the Rhino straight after the fight as easy makes that a lot simpler too.

    First off, I advise using the cloud when dodging. At the beginning, just go in circles around the area. You shouldn't get hit. When Pigsy throws the bomb, line up with the bomb and the Rhino and shoot it just as the Rhino passes through the bomb area, and evade to the right. Do this two more times until you are forced to hurt him with the burners. I advise hiding to the left (as if you're looking straight at it) of the first burner when he charges at you. You won't get hurt by the burner exploding and you won't get hit by him charging. The next burner must be shot down. First, get the Rhino to charge at you and avoid that. When he a little stunned after charging, take this opportunity to shoot the first two bars blocking the burner. Get him to charge again, and then shoot the last bar. Once again, hide to the left of the burner. The final burner can be accessed when Pigsy throws a bomb. Once again, avoid the Rhino's charge and then shoot the bomb. If you feel you can make it to the now open handhold without having to avoid another charge, do so. Otherwise, get him to charge again and then go for the handhold. Once you climb to the top and knock the burner onto him, you should get the achievement.

    If you get hit by his pound attack, you can continue the fight and still get the achievement. If you do get hit by his charge attack, just reload the checkpoint.

    Wottstar83Contrary to this I found I had a VERY difficult time dodging using the cloud as it was too unpredictable and the rhino homed in on it easily. I found it far better to use the cloud to put some distance between you and the rhino, switch it off and manually evade (left stick + A) out of the way. The rhino didnt seem to focus in on that, but did and altered course if I tried on the cloud.

    Having said that, with either method its still a bitch of an achievement - one slip and back to the beginning again!

    They key is to play Chapter 11 on Easy from the chapter select list. The Rhino doesn't change its attack angle mid charge in Easy mode, which makes avoiding the the charges much easier. You only need to avoid the charges, the you can take stomp attack damage from the Rhino. I just ran around and dodged, not using the cloud much. Just keep your distance to it and avoiding the charges is really easy.

    The sequence of the fight:

    First you'll need to be ready to dodge the Rhino almost immediately. I suggest running right and dodging the first charge. Use your cloud to collect the plasma barrels and wait for Pigsy to start dropping bombs to hit. Then you can simply run around on foot and dodge the rest.

    3 Bombs need to be hit by your plasma gun on the ground.

    1 burner dropped by Pigsy
    (Simply *hide* behind each burner and let the Rhino charge into it, you take no damage)

    3 Shots on a tower are required to bring the 2nd burner down. The first two shots are very close, so rapid fire then move to get a free shot on the 3rd shot.

    The 3rd burner requires just one shot on a bomb planted by Pigsy. Once you can climb up on the newly exposed pole, you are home free to the top and the achievement is yours after the 3rd burner drops.

    If you're having difficulty dodging, this method may help out and works very well on hard.

    Stay on foot as the rhino prepares to charge. Slowly move left or right and allow him to begin the charge. Keep moving and rotating the camera to keep the rhino centered. A bit before he's going to hit you, you should be running in one direction and just click the right stick in to activate the cloud. The animation as Monkey boards the cloud in motion is both quick and covers more distance than the ground rolling evade. Even if the rhino circles a bit to try and catch you, you'll be moving fast enough on the cloud to avoid it. Since you're on the cloud after the charge, it makes it very easy to move to your next location before he turns to charge again. Just make sure to get off the cloud to start the process again.

    Once I found this method, the fight and achievement became incredibly easy.

    Here's a trick where you can do this whole fight plus the following chase sequence in slow motion while earning both achievements.

    As soon as the fight starts aim your staff at the second burner you have to shoot down.

    3 Shots and the burner should be down, now wait for Pigsy to throw the first bomb

    Shoot the bomb when the Rhino starts to run towards you and make sure he slides straight into the burner you just shot down.

    Now with doing this the whole fight will be in slow motion.

    So use the cloud to dodge the Rhino and shoot the 2 bombs Pigsy throws for you then let him drop what would be the first burner.

    Get the Rhino to run into it then shoot the bomb Pigys throws on the parts of construction, climb up to drop the last burner and enjoy the cutscene.

    Following the cutscene which will be shown in normal speed the chase sequence will begin.

    But the game will still be in slow motion making it very easy to hit every speed boost and time every jump which makes getting the "Got The Horn" achievement very easy.

    During the next cutscene just exit to dashboard then reload the game to get back to normal speed.
