Meet Vulgrim

 

This you will get right after you finish the intro level, you will be instructed to meet Vulgrim at “The Crossroads”, make your way there and you will get a cut scene were you meet him.

Free Samael from his prison

 

Vulgrim will send you to see Samael just make your way thought the library when you get out the other side you will be in the “Scalding Gallow” Keep running straight up into what is best described as a alter and kill the Demon that is there, then push the gargoyles into place to release Samael.

Defeat Tiamat

 

When you work your way through the “Twilight Cathedral” you will fight Tiamat, not that hard of a fight, have a little bomb on you when you see your chance throw it then take out your crossblade lock onto the fire that is all around then move to the bomb on Tiamat, it will explode and she will fall to the ground, run in and start attacking, when she gets up she will do a few strafing runs dodge out of the way until she stands still, then repeat the attack. When you hurt her enough you will fight on the ground, all I did was rush in attack a few times then rush out, when she jumps high in the air run away she is doing to do a ground smash, she may also rush you and you will get a quick time event if you win you stun her.

Meet Ulthane

 

When you make it through “The Drowned Pass” you will enter “The Anvil’s Forge” and get a cut scene where you will meet Ulthane.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/-Ve+Vg==.jpgRocked Your Face Off 40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Defeat The Griever

 

You face Griever at the end of “The Hollows” there will be lots of those blue crystals, you need to smash those, if they get hit with his laser they will turn red and you will have to wait till they cool down and turn blue, once they are all destroyed take that train car push it up and then charge your Tremor Gauntlet and smash it into his knee, he will fall down and you can rush in and smash his blue crystal, when he pushes you back he will smash the wall to make rocks fall just run around and dodge, if you break off a little early you can run down the opposite track as the car and if you run just in the tunnel you can push it back before as he starts to drop rocks stunning him again.

Defeat The Stygian

 

This can be an annoying fight you want to stay on horseback for this one. Once she is free you will want to run parallel to her and attack with your sword to smash off her muzzle, don’t get in front of her, once it is off she will call a few of the really small ones just shoot them when you see them and watch out for them coming from the sides, once dealt with go back to the Stygian, just like that little one before just keep shooting and she will go down boost if it’s getting to close.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/-pZPcA==.jpgOne Mean Mother 40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Defeat Silitha

 

Not to hard but she is fast, use your Abyssal chain here to pull yourself to her and just start attacking, if she teleports above you get out of the way because she is going to try and crush you, it might help to have something to heal yourself with because you don’t really want to slow down on your attack’s, anyway when she jumps to the roof grapple on the hooks she drops, and climb up to her if you wait too long they turn to bombs.

Defeat Straga

 

When it starts use your Voidwalker on his mace and then on the ground when he brings it around jump through and attack his soft spot he will fling you off and fall down so attack away, when he gets back up he will summon smaller demons as you fight them he will do a wide sweep attack don’t bother trying to put a portal on his mace it will go away when he gets ready to do his attack, he may also do a smash attack but you will see his hand raise, just keep up with the above and he will die

Defeat The Destroyer

 

Not to hard when it first starts out its a game of chicken he will charge you, you will on horseback charge him and attack with your sword if you hit he will fall to the ground go in and attack, when he gets back up he will fly high, when you hear him yell boost he is about to land on you, if it hits you will be thrown off, he will go back to charging so just repeat, I didn’t notice the attack symbol above his head till I got knocked off Ruin so I’m not sure how long it takes to get to that point.

 

For the next part I just went all out landed a few attacks rushed out rushed in mostly air combos so some of his attacks would miss go to chaos form if needed.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/s7.jpgUltimate Blade 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Forge the Armageddon Blade

 

You will start this just before the final battle go around the world collecting all the pieces then take them back to Ulthane when you have them all and he will make it for you.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/UP1wTIE=.jpgYou Call This Easy? 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

See “The True Horseman”

COMPLETE the game on APOCALYPTIC difficulty

 

When the game starts just pick the hardest difficulty and when you beat the game it will unlock and yes they do stack. If your having a hard time with this you can play on “Normal” to get the feel for the boss’ and collect the abyssal armour which will let you take less damage you can get it in normal and start hard with it.

There are two ways of going about this, the first buy it for 1000 souls from Vulgrim, or you can go into your options menu and “enter code” input “The Hollow Lord” you will get it when you next visit Vulgrim and it does not disable the achievement. The code is also case sensitive from what I have heard.

Max out all weapons and unlock all combat moves

 

This will take time I would recommend doing this on the APOCALYPTIC difficulty as the enemies give more experience, get enhancements that gather more souls and gain more weapon exp, the chaoseater that you start with will later be replaced with a level 4 sword so you only need to worry about the Scythe and Tremor Gauntlet, when you get all the upgrades from Vulgrim and level up your weapons this should pop.

 

Thanks to CRA for this, "The best way to grind exp quite fast is equipping war's glory (which can be found in the spider dungeon). Then go from the iron canopy to the big "web door". from there go left through 2 rooms and jump down, exit on ground level and down the alley, down the stairs. enter the room, jump down, climb back up and return to the big door. rinse and repeat until all weapons are lvl 4."

War's Glory can be found just after the giant spider is killed a little further and you come to a area where you have to use your flight on the blue orbs and then grapple, if you boost off the first blue orb do a 180 and glide back the way you came, the chest will be right there.

Thanks to LasherM, "The achievement only pops "after" you get the Armageddon Blade. Even if you do level up the Chaoseater to level 4 that won't trgger it."

 

Kills

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/UP9RRTQ=.jpgOpen Air Parking 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Destroy a helicopter during the apocalypse with a vehicle

 

You can only get this in the opening level, the one I got was at the beginning when you turn the corner and see the giant rock golem thing walk down the street a bit with a car or something and it should come flying toward you on your left hand side.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/UPh4Z6s=.jpgDevastator 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 10 enemies with one Blade Geyser wrath attack

 

I got his in “The Choking Grounds” when you first go there the giant stone golem will ask for you to lift the cures, you have to go to 4 portals and do various tasks at one of them you have to kill 40 enemies, you will know you are in the right one because a lot of zombies will be on the ground, first thing they do not mass huddle around you if it’s not upgraded you will only get 5 or 6, what I did was run into a corner turned around and a lot had grouped up, so I dashed out and used the Blade Geyser when I hit the middle getting 16 kills. You can make a save before this but it will auto save just outside the portal.

Thanks to ErmacVersion1 for this, "You can also get the Devastator achievement a lot easier in the Iron Canopy. There are several rooms that have 12-15 little spiders in them and all you have to do is run in a circle around the room and they'll start following out. As soon as you see them all right on you, just hit the blade geyser and you should get it. The Blade Geyser attack works extremely well against the spiders so you should have little to no trouble."

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/UPwJTd0=.jpgHigh Flier 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 5 duskbats without touching the ground

I also go this one in “The Choking Grounds” the one where you have to kill 30 enemies with finishing moves, the first 4 are the duskbats, it took me about 4 tries the 4th one would always fly to far to get the 5th, anyway jump and do the B move to do an instant kill as you are doing the move swing your camera to the next and push on the LS to jump towards it then hit B again close to it keep doing that and more should spawn before your done with the first 4 with some luck they will have moved close to you.

Defeat more angels than Ulthane

 

After your battle with Ulthane you two will be fighting the “Pigions” all I did was steal his kills then when you get separated one will drop a cannon just use that to kill the others in a few hits should have no problem staying ahead of him, I had 25 to about 15 when I got it.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/UP8uWdM=.jpgImprovised Kills 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 150 enemies with items from the environment

 

For this an easy way to get started is on the first level there will be lots of people running around in the chaos they count for kills so just pick up something and try to kill them before the other enemies. Later try and kill the zombies as they are weak, if you have a hard time finding them later in the game just attack some of the demons around until they have that finish move above their head then kill them, or just go back to "The Crossroads" lots of zombies still there.

Also when you get it throw on the “Ravager” Enhancement it improves damage with environmental weapons.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/s5.jpgRivers of Blood 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Shed 3000 Gallons of demon blood

 

This is another one that you get without really paying attention, with each bloody kill you accumulate demon blood, you can check this with the back button and going to stats, in my first play I had spilled close to 5000 and near the end I was running past lots of demons, so this should pop half way to two thirds in.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/s2.jpgHorseman 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 150 demons from horseback

 

When you first get your horse there will be a lot of enemies that jump down and attack same thing when you go to kill the Stygian, you will still be short on kills so if you want to grind go to the “Scalding Gallow” near the start of the game where you release Samael kill the guys there and what I did was run through the library into "The Crossroads" and killed everyone there. I was getting 35 kills or so per run in 5 min or so, plus kills with the gun count.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/s3.jpgSlayer 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 666 Demons

 

This is another easy one to get, just kill everything you see lots of guys around to kill going for the other achievements you should get this by the second to third boss.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/UP4bfXQ=.jpgAerial Predator 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 160 enemies while on the angelic beast

 

When you unlock the creepy eye door in “The Broken Stairs” save your game when you jump to the next building there will be a cut scene and at the end you will be on the “ancient one”, now the trick here is to use RT it has a lock on feature where you can lock onto multiple targets even if they have flown behind you, now at the beginning you are going to want to focus on the angels there good but make sure your locking onto the other enemies too they don’t take too much to kill and you need to kill as fast as you can, when you get into the caves you will see small little bugs in groups lock on fire and repeat as fast as you can don’t try and get the whole swarm just throw lots at it by the end you should have it.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/s6.jpgDark Rider 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Ride for 100 miles

 

If you want an easy way to do this when you kill the Stygian go out to the open put a elastic on the L stick and just run in circles walk away come back you should have it, will take a while to get but hey beats sitting there.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/471/s8.jpgBFA 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Unlocked EVERYTHING!

 

This one will unlock when you have gotten all other achievements, just keep playing hard and this will pop with your last one.

aw shit, i finally got myself that i wanted to write another guide and you took it ;)

 

for your first guide it's good work with details.

 

achv: battle hardened. the sword is called chaoseater not atter ;) and the best way to grind exp quite fast is equipping war's glory which can be found in the spider dungeon. then go from iron canopy to the big "web door". from there left through 2 rooms, jump down. exit on ground level, down the alley, down the stairs. enter the room, jump down, climb back up and return to the big door. rinse and repeat until all weapons are lvl 4.

 

i've crowded the spiders in each section and killed them with RB+Y and the exp goes up quite fast this way.

 

of course you can use this description and post it in a better english with complete sentences. :)

You can also get the Devastator achievement a lot easier in the Iron Canopy. There are several rooms that have 12-15 little spiders in them and all you have to do is run in a circle around the room and they'll start following you. As soon as you see them all right on you, just hit the blade geyser and you should get it. The Blade Geyser attack works extremely well against the spiders so you should have little to no trouble.

"Battle Hardened" achievement only pops "after" you get the Armageddon Blade. Even if you do level up the Chaoseater to level 4 that won't trgger it.

 

You Need the Armageddon Blade and the other 2 weapons Maxed out and Unlock all the combat moves. You do not need to max out the moves. Level 1 of each will be enough.

 

While trying to max out each weapon don't upgrade the moves at Vulgrim. Keep them at level 1. By doing this you will be able do more combos and get more exp as you play through. Then when you need to finish off leveling them it shouldn't be that much more to go grind out.

Brillent guide dude; I was making one myself but it isn't as structured as this one. For you're first guide that is truly impressive.

 

I fell through the floor and I got the Horserider achievement. My miles went up 500 in a second : )

 

It takes around 2 hours though; my brother did it the same way you did.

[...] You do not need to max out the moves. Level 1 of each will be enough. [...]

This last statement is incorrect. I had the Chaos Eater, the Gauntlet and the Scythe at level 4. I then forged Armageddon and... no achievement. I had one move for the gauntlet not maxed out. The achievement popped right after I bought the move's last level and exited the shop menu.

Ah, thanks. I'd leveled all the weapons, and gotten the Armageddon Sword and no achievement. I was gettting a little annoyed and was going to post a 'why didn't this work' but you answered for me. Thanks!
