How to unlock the That Was Sparta! achievement in Deadliest Warrior - Definitive Guide

An easier way to get this achievement is to sign in a second player and go local multiplayer. The second player should always be Spartan, but it doesn't matter who you are, just defeat him 300 times. A good idea might be to use the Knight. As the Knight, keep using high-attacks (Y) to decapitate the enemy. This will not always work, and using the single (y) attack rather than the 2-hit combo tends to work better. Then, while on the way to getting 'This Was Sparta', you can get 'A Head of the Competition'. But, if you want to get this achievement quicker, playing throught the Pirates arcade to get the Blunderbuss, and using this at point-blank range to the Spartan will kill him in one or two hits. ou can keep track of how many Spartans you have killed by going to Help & Options, then Combat Statistics. Scroll down to 'Kills', and check 'Spartan'.
You can also set the match limit to 5 instead of 3 to reduce grinding time (thanx to Meat Wisdom for that one).

I do have the achievement, the website hasn't updated since I got it though. If you checked my gamertag on the official xbox website, you would see the achievement.

I ended up using a Samurai vs Spartan.
Walk the spartan to the samurai while you are unloading arrows.
By the time the spartan makes it to you one hit from anything will kill him.
Assuming you don't get a headshot from an arrow :)
Also someone posted in the 100 decapitations you can use the Samurais special finisher for a guaranteed decap but it is so time consuming it almost seems like it would be more worth it to hope and get lucky just using a high attack for a decap.

Another effective combo is the Viking's Y, A, X with the sword. Two will drain the Spartan's health to where one leg swipe (A) will finish him.

Also, to reduce grinding time, set the match limit to 5 so that you get 3 kills per match instead of 2.

Can this be done in single player-battle mode- 1 rounders? Seems fastest to me if it can.

@MegaManSurvives It pro'lly can be, but it's not faster by any means. The CPU can be unpredictable at the best of times and with the second controller method, you can guarantee what the Spartan will do while working towards a second achievement at the same time.

Im averaging 15 seconds a match my way by skipping intros and just going with the rematch option after the fight ends going against a cpu locally. Yours is faster than that? Im using the Rajput so that helps towards the decapitation achoevement (1 outa 10 matches it seems), 3 Rajput titles, and kill 300 spartans. If yours is faster than ill do yours. Im not trying to disprove or annoy you i just want the fastest method.

The fact you haven't finished it yet tells me my method is pro'lly faster. Bare in mind I got this achievement on the day the game came out. But I couldn't promise anything.

This will take a fair amount of time to complete, the only method I suggest for now is to use a second controller, ensure rounds are set to their maximum and go into battle mode. Luckily fights in this game are fairly fast. Each round you win counts as a kill.
