How to unlock the Spiritual Hunter achievement in Far Cry 4 - Definitive Guide

This achievement is straight forward, and you should have no problem unlocking it during your standard playthrough, as Yetis appear frequently in the later game, for example in some of the optional Relay Station Upgrade Quests.

When facing a Yeti, try to use explosives to weaken it. C4 and Mines work very well; grenades need to be timed right to avoid the Yeti running away from the explosion.
If you are more into shooting Yetis, try the M-79 (which can be found at the coordinates X: 360 Y: 489).
In case you are out of explosives, aim for the Yeti's head and be prepared to spend lots of bullets, as well as do some shoot-and-run, combined with the use of several medikits.

Once the Yeti is weakened, it will start to crouch and guard its face with its hand. This is the time to run behind its back and press cn_RS to start a melee attack. You will need to mash a button quicktime-event-style after that; if you do so successfully, the Yeti dies and the achievement will pop.

If you follow the main story line without doing optional side quests, the earliest possibility to kill a Yeti is within this mission:

I came here expecting some lame youtube video, instead I found a well written solution, awesome.

Good solution, I actually found a yeti after the first night while doing the station upgrade quests. It jumped out at me as I was driving one of the trucks back to base.

...and found two more yetis before the second night. So apparently they do spawn early on if you wander around enough.

Me too. On the way back during my 7th upgrade quest in the Deserted Expedition Camp, middle eastern side of map, a yeti was on the side of the road messing with some Disciples. I rammed him with my truck and boom, dead. This is all before I furthered the story to the 2nd night.

I’ve killed 2 now and it hasn’t popped. Achievement might now be glitched.

I’ve killed at least 6 but I don’t think it tracks if you abandon a mission or quit the game without completing a mission. It must save after the quest is completed.

To be fair though I’ve seen so many that I’m not worried.

I just had this glitched for me... Spent my first time playing the DLC and killed at least 12 yetis... I was able to unlock both this as well as the 5 killed after playing the next day and killing a yeti. This dlc/game is full of glitched achievements...

One thing to add to the above guide:
If you have the harpoon gun, keep that with you, one shot from that to the head makes the Yeti bend over in pain. Reload the next Harpoon, jump onto the yetis back until you get taken off then shoot it one last time in the chest and it should die.

Yetis show up randomly on the map, but the easiest way to take one down is if you spot one during a Relay Station Upgrade Quest that requires you to drive one of those huge trucks. If you run over a Yeti with one of those trucks it's an instant kill.

Other effective ways to kill it, is using explosives and shooting it in the head using a LMG (since it requires you to reload less often) Once you have a Yeti down make sure to get behind it so you can finish him off with a takedown

The Yeti will hit you a lot, to kill him you need to fire a certain number of rounds at the head, this will stun him, then just go around behind him and press , the hero will climb on it and you will need to quickly press the highlighted button several times and that’s it, 2000 XP for each Yeti. Advice: first open the machine gun and shoot without aiming, because The yeti moves very quickly, you won’t be able to run away from it; like an elephant, it demolishes cars and almost all lives at once. If you climb onto some hill, the yeti will start throwing stones at you, which will throw you off a cliff or simply knock you down.

And I shot down a yeti on a truck, which needs to be driven to the station in missions to improve the radio station. The truck kills him right away, it doesn’t work on regular cars.

You can use mines or a grenade launcher against the Yeti.

The easiest and fastest way to kill him is with a large-caliber sniper rifle with a short barrel. Three or four shots and hello.
