How to unlock the Shishkabob achievement in Deadliest Warrior - Definitive Guide

EDIT 2: If you are having trouble with this achievement and you have the DLC downloaded, try deleting it along with the cache. Thanks to "Meteor245", He said after many failed attempts at the achievement once he deleted both the DLC and cache he got the achievement. Read more in comments below.

The above video did not help me at all, no offense to izret102. BUT, the method I used got it for me on the 2nd try. Be the Spartan and equip the Heavy Javelin (Unlocked in Arcade Mode) and vs the Ninja (Very Weak) Now use the "Y" button to attack the upper body 3 times (Any more would kill him) Now get the ninja as close as possible to a wall (Just to make sure you get it) and then move as close as you can to the ninja and launch your spear and it should pop after a few tries. Good Luck!

NOTE: This can also be unlocked by luck, because when I was playing as the Viking I took off a Ninja's head with full health in the first few seconds of the game.

When I got this I didn't have the DLC, so I can't say for sure it was the cause. But thinking about it, you may want to delete it and try just to see. Lemme know if for whatever reason you get the achievement easier, I'll post it. :)

No offense taken :)
I'd give you a positive for your solution because i know this also works. But i guess you can't vote when you already have a solution up.

Ninja and Apache are the best two to try and get the kills against because of the lack of armor. Viking and Spartan work for attackers because they each have a powerful throw weapon. I can't confirm if bow/arrow waepons have enough strength to also net you this achievement. I don't remember if anyone else had a Spear/Javelin weapon...

I managed this playing as the Viking versus the Spartan in Arcade mode, unbelievably. I just let the Spartan run start to run towards me, and as soon as he was going on his down step with whatever foot was in the air, I launched the spear and got it pinned, TWICE! Great guide, though, up voted for sure.

Hey :) just wondering, is this achievement still working? It seems either bugged or I'm just massivly unlucky. I tried over 250 attempts (4+hours) to get this achievements using all guides I found here and elsewhere. Using both the spartan and viking. against both the ninja and apache. Got over 100 headshots with the spear when the enemy was on critical health. but it NEVER came off :( Not sure why but I've seen multiple videos and I'm doing it just like them. Perhaps its bugged after installing DLC? Has anyone gotten it recently and with DLC installed? Thanks for any extra info you can give me :)

I'll keep you updated if it works after uninstalling the DLC (and perhaps clearing cache?) but I'm going to finish the 1000 kills with Rajput first then since I'm already working on that DLC achievement and don't want to lose progress.

UPDATE: Ok, so after all those attempts I have now deleted the DLC from my xbox, and also cleared the cache. I restarted the game and did NOT update, made a new save on a different storage device to be sure. Picked the Viking versus the ninja, hit the ninja 3 times with Y to get him to critical and then pressed B for a spear. First match, second round the head came off, achievement unlocked! :D so confirmed, the achievement IS GLITCHED after installing DLC and updating the game! You can update your guide with this info if you like :)

I was having trouble with this with the DLC installed. I deleted it and had it on my second try after.

Great solution. I have the DLC+update installed. I too, earned this by luck. I was the Viking and I was able to take off the Ninja's head as soon as the round started.

Tried this about 10 times, it didn't work, so I had the ninja charge me after the 3 hits (while I threw) and it worked on the first try. Great solution!

Easiest way is to use the Viking's double spear throw, which you must unlock in arcade mode by using the Viking. I would tell you to sign into local multilayer with another controller to make things much easier. Here's what you do, or at least how I got it. Lower your opponent health to where a single hit will cause death. Have your opponent run at you for a better chance of a headshot, and throw them babies! You can also do this with a friend online. I actually got it on single player though... by luck.

Let me know if you would like help with this. I would be more than happy to help. You can message or comment me.

Go into local battle and use a Spartan (with the unlockable heavy throwing spear, although I did get this with the Spartans normal throwing spear) and with a second controllerpick an Apache (or another light armoured character). Choose the Castle Courtyard level and move the lightly armoured warrior against a wall, move into close range and use the throwing spear. (Thanks to TRICKY1976).

It can also be done just by playing through the Spartans arcade mode on normal difficulty, just throw your spears at the start of the round. Sometimes it will stick in the head and others it will decapitate it. It doesn't have to stick into a wall.
