You can unlock it after you complete Chapter 2 Mission 4 Towards the Peninsula.

Near the beginning of the mission you are fighting soldiers and then told to protect the ballista. Well pushing said ballista are two men and this is where the achievement comes in. Keep the enemies away from your soldiers pushing the ballista, use nightmare mode, play on a low difficulty--all of these factors will help contribute to an easier achievement. You know you've failed the achievement when you are asked to assist in the pushing of the ballista. If this happens restart the mission. Also note that if you don't get it on your first try there is always the replay mission option.

Unlocks after you complete Chapter 1 Mission 3 The Tournament of Ecry.

Some Tips for this mission:

• Progression through the training grounds requires you to perform the moves you are learning numerous times. Only after completing them the set number of times may you end the training and move onto the tournament.
• Also note that for the first two battles in the tournament you must defeat your opponents using the technique that you just learned in the training grounds.

Unlocks after you complete Chapter 1 Mission 5 Forest Roads.

A Quick Tip:

• The mission itself is extremely short, just keep using combos and defeat one of the enemies and then Geoffroy will come and stop the fighting thus ending the mission.

30 guard breaks is a lot easier than first glance would have it, and actually is most likely picked up just by playing the game and reacting to enemies around you. As learned in Chapter 1 Mission 3 a guard break is coming when your enemy glows orange at which point you need to press  to dodge the guard break.

If you are one for getting your achievements early and getting them out of the way then Chapter 1 Mission 3 during the guard break training session is the perfect spot to farm (or perfect) the technique and grab the achievement.

30 deflections may even be easier and a more likely candidate for you to snag playing through the game than guard breaks. When your enemies flash blue you know they are coming in for an attack and this is where you utilize the technique learned in Chapter 1 Mission 3 by pressing .

Like the guard break, this can be camped and worked on during the training session in Chapter 1 Mission 3. 

The 100 hit combo may be a bit tricky. Anytime you are hit by an enemy your combo resets to zero, and if you take too long between hits your combo will decrease. This video shows a method that with a little bit of perfecting, is easily the best and more efficient way to grab the two combo achievements.

The key to this guide is the boss and his weakness or rather lack there of until all of the souls have been purified. With two swords (two broken swords work as well), and leaving one soul (preferably blue) still alive you can follow the guide and  until you've hit your 100th combo slice.

This achievement is very similar to those of the weapon progression achievements except these are your skills for your character, not moves for your weapons. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when trying to finish this achievement:

• You will not be able to level up all of your skills in one playthrough. With this in mind, you must venture into the Nightmare playthrough in order to finally finish this achievement, whether or not you plan on finishing the entire campaign on Nightmare. 
• I suggest focusing on being able to hold onto the curse for a longer period of time first because of its ability to help you slaughter enemies in a much easier and more efficient manner. 

This would be our first step of completing this game as detailed above in the road map. One completion on any difficulty will unlock this achievement. Just remember to utilize the curse as much as possible and to grab your collectibles on this run through!

While this shouldn't be too hard here are a couple of tips to keep in mind:

• Skip all of the cutscenes. Easily half of this game is cutscenes so feel free to skip them all and cut your time down.
• Skip any instances of fighting where it is NOT your objective. In other words, if you do not need to kill that group of soldiers to progress in the mission, don't do it--you will only waste time, your health, your curse, and your weapon's condition.

Just like the blood crucifix we will be utilizing a x360 Collectible Guide to find all 100 of the coffers! The coffers can be picked up in both the real and nightmare worlds.

Utilize the Collectible Guide and this will come just about as easy as anything else.

Chapter 4 Mission 2 is the mission in which you are tasked to defend Constantinople's civilians a few times.

Word of caution: this achievement is not too sensitive and may be unlocked even if you are unable to save any of the civilians. Personally on both of my playthroughs I was able to save what I believe was half and it unlocked the first time. 
So if you finish this mission and it does not unlock simply go back to the mission via replay and try again. 

There are a grand total of 19 blood crucifixes throughout the game which can only be destroyed in the nightmare world.
We will be utilizing a x360 created collectibles guide in order to conquer this achievement.

Utilize the Collectible Guide and this will come just about as easy as anything else.

After 16 different weapon combinations you have made it to the achievement that marks them all. Just a couple of reminders/tips to keep in mind when checking these off:

• Each weapon grouping (i.e. Mace+shield,Two-handed sword, ect.) has a different amount of special moves that are unlockable. Some may be 10% per new ability which means there are 10 abilities in total that need to be unlocked while others may be closer to 20% per ability which means there are only 5. 
• Keep in mind that the game does keep track of your progress and will let you know you've reached 100% on a weapon grouping by both letting you know by awarding you 100% in a weapon class and by giving you its respected achievement. 
• These aren't hard, just remember to pick up all the coffers, kill the necessary amount of souls, and purify the crucifix.
• Most importantly know that these transfer over to your other playthroughs, so do not think you need to or have to get them all in one run.
