How to unlock the Mimic Massacre achievement

    Mimic Massacre

    Before you start this you will need the following two items:
    - Typhon Lure (Location: Hardware Labs under where you got your flight module)
    - Recycler Charge (Location: Security Station in the lobby. Safe code is 0525)

    Once you have these items, make your way to the Psychotronics section of Talos I. After you get your new flashy helmet, ride the elevator up and keep going forward until you see a door to your right. Follow the staircase and continue going around the area until you find a section that says "Labs A" and a wall blocked by glue.

    Get in the corner next to the glue and destroy it with a wrench, then throw the Typhon Lure into the room to keep the enemies from moving then throw a Recycler Charge at the Mimics to kill them. There are exactly 5 Mimics here and if done right, you will get all 5 easily.

    Note: Make sure you make a save beforehand just in case a Mimic jumps the wall before you throw the Typhon Lure.

    DrJeklThere are three dead crew members, either make sure you don't recycle them or reload your save so you don't miss them

    If you miss the first opportunity in the Psychotronics Labs, there is another handy place to grab this achievement further into the game. After rebooting the the reactor in the Power Plant, ascend to Level B2 and grab a keycard from a corpse (Mattew Connolly) outside a "Maintenance Access Only" inaccessible door. This keycard enables you to enter the Parts Storage on Level B1 (or alternatively hack the door if you have upgraded to level 3). Within are about 7 mimics. A Typhon Lure and a well placed Recycling Charge should get you the achievement. Although I was out of Lures, so I shot one to get their attention and kited them to the walkway outside the store, then threw a Charge into their midst.

    TrimSkinkThanks for this tip. I've been speed-running this PT and forgot about the labs. Big help! +1

    TheTailsEffectJust got the achievement this exact way, although it was quite clumsy and lucky on my part - I threw a typhon lure, glooed all the mimics and hit with the shotgun!

    SchinderdivOn my playthrough, there was no keycard or door code on the mentioned character. I found the door code on a transcribe carried by Duncan Krassikoff at the "Plant Entrance" area, on the opposite side of the flooded and electrified floor in "Power Plant Monitoring" (create a bridge of GLOO to safely cross and look out for the Poltergeist that doesn't want you there).

    You need to kill 5 Mimics in 5 seconds, and I found the perfect spot in Psychotronics.

    During the mission Detour you will come to a section with Labs A and B upstairs. Go to the Labs A side (on the right side of your map), and there will be a room with 5 chairs, all of which are mimics.

    You can use a Recycler Charge or two and finish off any stragglers very quickly since they are all sitting there waiting to be massacred!
