How to unlock the The Quick and the Dead achievement in Devil May Cry 5 - Definitive Guide
* Note, this will cost you between 50k-150k in red orbs
Difficulty: Human
You come to narrow portion of the subway where one of those things that spawn enemies blocks your path. It spawns the weak bug things. There are at least 4 in the hall already. Wait for it to spawn another while fully charging your sword. Bunch them up and do a lunge attack (forward + Y) to kill all 5.
I discovered this method while going for:
2 birds with 1 stone
First level with V, first arena, spam RB+Lb-circle->B and you'll get this on the 2nd wave.
Load up mission 7 with Nero and before starting, purchase the Helter Skelter devil breaker from Nico. Play through the mission until you come to a narrow hallway containing four bug enemies and an enemy spawner. Wait for the spawner to spawn one more enemy, bringing the total to five. Stand in a corner and let all five bugs group up near you, then, with the Helter Skelter devil breaker equipped, hold down the button and if all five enemies were close enough to you, you should be able to bring them all down at once.

The easiest way to unlock this trophy is by playing Heaven and Hell difficulty. Everything dies in 1 hit so killing 5 enemies in 1 second is easy. Another way is clear the game. During credit sequence you'll be tasked to kill enemies. For some reason they are much easier to kill than in actually playthrough. There is a really easier way. This requires you to have Dr. Faust equipped and you must purchase the secret ability that kills all enemies that spawn. It soesn't matter the difficulty, however you'll lose 150,000 red orbs to perform this deadly skill. Another way is to use the Sin Devil Trigger Dante (+) move will clear entire map.
