I believe you have to create another character in order to get the achivement. I don't really see the point in making us play a harder difficulty with a character at max level. I say just make a new character, then they ask you what difficulty you want before you start playing.

If you change the difficulty before the end of Eden Prime, you can get the achievement. I don't know anything about having to create a new character to get it though.

What I do is I change the difficulty on the title screen, make the new game with my existing character, change the difficulty once I make the new game, then play normally. I'm 100% sure that works. I have both the difficulty achievements.
