How to unlock the The Politeness of Kings achievement in Bloodroots - Definitive Guide

This can be effortlessly done through the use of the game's built in assist mode, which can be accessed through the pause menu.

Pause > Options > Assist Options

You will notice an option to "clear area", this will cause all enemies in the level's section to instantly drop dead. They will all also count as perfectly timed kills for you too.

Simply run through the level, using the "clear area" assist whenever you enter a new section and at the end of the mission all kills will have had perfect timing and this achievement will pop!

This didn't work for me. Wonder if I'm doing anything wrong?

Hmm strange, I was actually playing around with this method on level 1-1 trying to see if it would pop the continuous combo achievement as the combo meter did stay active throughout the level using this. Though this ending up popping instead.

Though it could've just been a fluke for me. If others report similar issues I'll just go ahead and take this solution down.

Thanks for the reply, bro. I think it was just a fluke because I tried this on 3 levels in a row now & nothing. No biggie.

Your method worked on level 2-4. I was using this method to get the hats on certain levels. It didn’t work on other levels but did on this one for some reason. So it might be easier on 2-4 or it might just be hit or miss.

I played levels 1-1 through 1-4 and didn't get the achiev, but tried on 2-4 as derektwopointoh suggested and got it on first try.

One thing I would add to people struggling with the “timing” does still seem to matter. When I just cleared all enemies on 1-1 I ended the level with 9/22 perfect timing. What I did instead was run up to the enemy, when he turned green I would pause and use the cheat. When I did that I got 22/22 on 1-1 and got the achievement

This solution is no longer valid as using Assist Mode now prevents achievements from unlocking.

Can confirm this solution is still valid. First try on 1-1 gave me 22/22 perfect timing

This doesn't work anymore. Gives me 0 for perfect timing at the end results screen every time.

This does still work; however, it's a bit odd.

Make sure to pause and select the "clear area" option whilst the "clear area" text is still on-screen. If it works in that area it'll say "perfect timing" in the top left corner.

Just did it on 1-1.

if anyone has problems popping this one on 1-1 like me, try 2-4 like what derektwopointoh said. doing that finally got it to work for me

I think waiting for the carrot autosave icon disappear is the key. Doing the clear area IMMEDIATELY resulted in me not unlocking it. Just wait a moment at the start of each zone.

My advice is to play the first level 1-1. and use MAINLY your fists. a perfect timing kill is triggered the second the green ring appears and you can attack an enemy, so run up/ jump to them and hit X I normally. when there is the black or grey coat people next to the white coat use a weapon since you only have to get half the total amount of kills for it.

if you miss too many perfect timed kills just DIE it doe not ruin the counter for the level you completed before that checkpoint.

with this it shouldn't take you more than 40min if you are not the best at timing.

Looks like you need somewhere between 18 and 22 perfect time kills on the first level for that to be enough, based on my few tries.
