    WestsideSxEgot it mining the floor with gel in the 'Rumble in the Jungle' or whatever challenge, wave 4 - cleared out all the goons, stunned him, and he somehow was stuck in the stun cycle long enough for me to beat him in one go (would not trigger the back climbing after each health segment because there were no enemies or obstacles maybe?)

    The easiest way I've found for this one is the fight with two titans in the Botanical Gardens during the main story. The beauty here is that they will daze each other, and there are only two threats for you to track.

    When a titan rushes, throws a body, or even takes a swing at you, it will daze the other titan if it connects. This gives you an opening to step in and do some manual labor.

    Start out by moving right immediately. The one on the left is going to charge. Make his charge run right through the second titan. Keep lining up shots like this to create your openings.

    Be prepared to spend some extended periods doing nothing but dodging if they end up clumped together and you can't get them to run over each other. Although in that instance you can eat a punch by getting close (if you time it right you can dodge), and the second titan will eat the same punch you do. He just doesn't recover as quickly.

    Tomjehthought I would mention that if you do miss this in the storyline you can get it pretty easily on the rumble in the jungle challenge map. Also worth noting is that you can strategically place some explosive gel, let the titan run near it and then detonate it to down him for mega damage. This won't void the achievement :)

    An even easier solution than the fight with the 2 titans in the botanical gardens is after you shut down the water pumps after you finish Croc's lair.

    After shutting down all 3 pumps, you'll be trapped in the center room with 3 elevators, and electric fields blocking access to the 3 hallways. The trick is to keep dodging the charges of the titan while you take out the other goons. Once you're down to just the titan, stand directly in front of a force field, wait for him to charge, and dodge at the last second. The titan will hit the force field and get himself stunned, allowing you to go to town. Do this twice per segment of his health (he has 3 segments) and at the end, you'll unlock the achievement!
