    This Achievement can be unlocked by "fixing the fridge" in the Side Misson Fridge Duty

    Fast Travel to the Upper Panopticon Control Point in the Containment Sector. To enter the Cell you need talk the Warden. I recommend to get a few Health-Upgrades before trying this Side Mission.

    PerrsunExtra note on this, you can’t get this achievement until you complete the My Brother’s Keeper achievement. You can visit the fridge and pick up the quest beforehand, but can’t advance it til a little later.

    I found this boss fight to be quite difficult. So here is some additional info to the other guides.

    The boss has 3 phases.
    Phase 1: only shooting of black balls.
    Phase 2: shooting of black balls and occassionally hitting with his octopus arms
    Phase 3: fast hitting with his octopus arms, occassionally shooting of black balls

    Phase 2 starts after first third of energy is gone. Phase 3 starts after second third of energy is gone.

    For phase 1 & 2 throwing 2 debris into the eye should do it. You can also catch the black balls an throw them back! But they have to be quite close.

    Phase 3 is a real bitch. Mainly because there will be so much holes in the floor and you have to look upwards all the time. Most of my deaths came from falling.
    You will also have to use dash (cn_B) more often here to evade the octopus arms. This will drain your energy and you will have to wait to throw again. But I found throwing still more successful than shooting.
    You don't have to aim perfectly to hit the eye. If you don't hit the white you will still decrease some of his energy.
    Try to change between a fast throw, dashing and sprinting around (click in cn_LS). During sprinting look at the floor and let the energy fill up.

    PerrsunThe black energy orbs it shoots can also be destroyed by shooting them with your gun. I did that to give my energy time to regenerate.

    I found Former to be a really, really, tough fight until I maxed out the Launch and Levitate abilities. Coming back later in the game I managed to take him out in handful hits just by throwing objects at the eye whilst hovering and dodging the attacks. It also helped to have mods equipped boosting energy and reducing Launch energy consumption.
