    It is best to get this Achievement in Chapter 4 once you enter the sewer area you will face alot of enemies, firstly disarm the traps so they won't kill the enemies and then equip your crossbow with Flash Bolts. Now round up the enemies and get them in a group and fire a bolt at them, then quickly run at them at press cn_B and you should get it.

    Flash Bolts are found in C3 in the Watch Tower and the Crossbow is in a building next to the watch tower.

    beets101The only way I got this was wait by the oil puddle, stun them, then burn them.

    RasA1gethiI did this 3 times, first time 4 enemies was caught and the achievement didn't pop up, so I tried again to get exactly 3 enemies but still no achievement

    This can (and should!) be done at any point through the game. When you encounter a group of enemies, try to kite them around until they are fairly close together. As soon as they are, hit them with a shotgun blast. (I found my shotgun upstairs in the house where the crossbow is located in chapter three). This will knock them to the ground, at which point you can run over and drop a match, setting them all alight.
    Not only will this get you the achievement, it is a very good skill to learn, as you can take out large groups of enemies with only a single shotgun shell and one match!

    this can also be done in chapter 2 in front of the gate you need to open there are two zombies sleeping dont pull the crank yet.lure another zombie over to them and shoot him in the leg so he falls on top of the other two zombies.then just drop a match on all three.

    TheCMHammondOh, that’s clever. I used a match on them, but didn’t think about the achievement until I got past the gate and saw a ton of zombies feasting on corpses.

    I snuck up behind the one closest to the bridge (without being spotted) and the moment I killed him, they all came running. I dodged a few attacks and tried to burn them with his corpse but failed a couple of times and just decided to shoot and kill to get new corpses to burn. Got it to work, but it looked like I only killed two standing zombies along with the body I burnt, yet I unlocked the achievement.

    I think I prefer your solution. I was focussed on getting torch kills as there were two enemies holding them.
