Deadliest Warrior: The Game

A Much Easier Way To Net This Achievement Is To Use The Dlc Character From India(The One In The Armor). Just Use The YYY Combo And NEVER NEVER Stop Moving. Usually His YYY Combo Kills The Enemy In One Go I Found It Very Rare That It Took Two Combos. I Finished Off At 25 Kills Exact And Then Quit Out To Continue The Grind On His 1K Kill Achievement. Best Of Luck Everyone

Survival mode is found under the Challenge menu, which is unlocked when you complete Arcade mode once with each warrior, regardless of the difficulty setting. I would recommend completing the warriors' arcades on the Deadliest difficulty, as it will also go towards your Avatar Samurai Helmet award and the "Who's Deadliest Now?" achievement. I'm not entirely sure if this helps or not, but make sure that you change the difficulty setting to normal before attempting Survival mode. You can change the difficulty found in the Options menu and then going to Game Settings.

After spending a few hours and witnessing countless bodies in Survival mode, I found that not much works. It was incredibly difficult to get to 25 kills with any warrior, though the Spartan and the Ninja worked the best. I got 27 kills with the Ninja. Here's how it works:

Rules for Ninja - My number 1 choice for your success.

Rule #1 - Never stop moving. Since the Ninja cannot block projectiles, movement is a necessity. Although the opponents don't throw/shoot many weapons at you, there are some you MUST watch out for. The Pirate is the worst, be super cautious when he appears. The Viking is also throw happy, be careful. And occasionally the Samurai and Apache will fire arrows at you. The other warriors almost never use projectiles, but don't let your guard down.

Rule #2 - AAXY. This is the only combo you want to use on the Ninja's medium range weapon. I recommend using the one with more speed than the other; damage is not necessary in Survival mode. This is because the enemies get progressively weaker with each kill; the first few will require a couple whacks though.

Rule #3 - The technique. When the enemies spawn, and your certain that no projectiles will be coming at you, make your way towards the current opponent and unleash the combo, AAXY, as soon as your close enough. 90% he will not block your attack, because guess what, the Ninja's fast. Repeat as necessary. Eventually two hits will be all it takes to kill. But remember, don't stop moving. As soon as you accumulate 25 kills as your playing, you'll unlock this tasty achievement. It will probably take you a little while to get the correct timing down, but don't give up. You may not realize it, but you will most likely do far worse if you get really frustrated and angry. If this happens to you, it did to me, take a break a try again later when your calm and relaxed.

The rules are similar if you want to try with the Spartan, but I wouldn't recommend it. Use the combo XXX with his sword, and again, the faster one works better. He gets really tired and slow when you reach about 15-18 kills, and you'll probably screw up. You'll also want to make use of his shield when the projectile happy enemies pop up.

I hope this little guide of mine gets you that achievement and saves you lots of time. Let me know if you found this useful. Message me or comment if you need any additional help or tips. We could also play a few rounds if your up to a challenge.

Thanks and good luck.

I completed this achievement yesterday on my second try using the DLC character "Shaolin monk".
Like the other guides say, be sure to put the game on "Normal" difficulty, as it's not dependant on difficulty.

Use the medium weapons "chicken sickles" and just keep using the combo XYAY and it will be easy.
I started the combo before getting close to the enemy, sometimes the first hit did not even hit the enemy but the rest of the combo did, this way they can't hit you before you hit them and (appart from maybe the first 2 guys) this combo will kill them all on 1 go. So 1 combo per enemy after the first 2 guys, just use it twice on them.

I got to 25 without even being hit once and just stopped after 28 because it had no more use to keep going.

The best way to do this is to use the Spartan with the Xyele and Bronze Curiass (and ensure difficulty is set to normal). All you pretty much do is run directly at your enemies use a simple XXX combo before they can get an attack in of their own, if all of the combo hits it should kill them outright. Just be aware of the Centurion when he has his medium range weapon equipped, be ready to block. The same goes for when a freshly spawned enemy pulls out a ranged weapon, quickly block and run in.

Solution was made by Heart Break Cid on x360a. I helped me get it on first try.

For those of you who may not have the DLC and are still struggling despite these other guides as I was (consistently dying around 12-16 with the spartan and ninja). I would highly recommend playing as The Viking using the armor with higher speed and the viking longsword.

Same strategy goes as with the spartan but the difference with the viking is the reach of his longsword and the fact that he does not knock the enemy down but rather staggers them after a successfull strike which is a significant advantage.

The strategy I employed was basically running at them and once you get a feel for the range of the longsword just keep mashing . The only times I took damage were if the enemy managed to strike me first or there were 2 instances in 28 rounds where the NPC got off a quick strike after my first two slashes.

Once the round starts just run at them and press until the enemy is dead, rinse and repeat. Hopefully this helps a few people struggling to attain this achievement with the already listed methods. Happy hunting!
