How to unlock the Veteran achievement in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Definitive Guide

I've read this tip on GameFAQs but not sure who came up with it.

The fastest way to get experience is in Chapter 6-4, where you fight the Evil Butcher. Go through the fight as normal, and when his health is almost gone he will become invincible and put a pot over his head.

At this point, to finish the fight you just need to hit him with a whip attack while jumping, after which you can grapple his sword and do a QTE to kill him. You will get 1000 experience points.

DO NOT pick up the key he drops. Instead, reload the last checkpoint, which will put you at the point of the fight where he has the pot on his head. You can then repeat killing him over and over for 1000 experience each time, as long as you don't pick up the key.

This technique was awesome and like another poster said, I saved myself tons of time - which I may never have gotten to. I cracked off the last 20,000 experience points that I needed to buy my last combo - in about 15 minutes.
And just to clarify, the minute you get the experience points from defeating the butcher, you can hit 'return to last checkpoint' and keep the points. It should take about 30-45 seconds each time. Thanks again!

QTE = Quick Time Event.

Immaculate solution, especially for farming the high level relic skills quickly. Thumbs up.

To know if you are near or far from getting it, to buy all combos and artworks requires 110 000 xp points. You do not need to grind xp points if you are running for the 1000G.

This trophy is cumulative. It will come naturally. You will get this trophy usually somewhere in the beginning of your New Game+ Playthrough. Anywhere between the end of the your first playthrough and beginning of your 2nd playthrough the trophy will pop.

You may not get this trophy for completing the game, playing on the Knight difficulty level, I didn’t get it by the end of the game, but passing the tests I got the trophy quite quickly by Chapter 5.

I found a place for farming. The sixth chapter, the first part of it. We climb out of the well, and the first enemies on the level are two knights with shields. We use a dark crystal on them, we get 400 points, we do a restart checkpoint, we kill again with the crystal, and so on as many times as necessary. About I got 35,000 XP from them in an hour.
