How to unlock the Nothing Safe achievement in God Mode - Definitive Guide
When in the game lobby, press the Y button to go to the Oaths screen. Press A on one of the oaths (I used the second one entitled Sword). Make sure it says Activated and then press B to go back to the lobby screen. Now all you have to do is complete any map on any difficulty with that oath activated and you should get the achievement. However, for some people including myself, the achievement has been reported to be somewhat buggy/glitchy. Luckily, there's a workaround so if the achievement didn't unlock for you, follow the steps below:
I finally was able to unlock the achievement using a popular USB method used in other games such as Wits & Wagers or Defenders of Ardania to unlock buggy achievements. Here's what you do if the Nothing Safe achievement doesn't pop normally:
NOTE: Just be warned that while this method will fix the buggy achievement, you WILL lose your progress/stats and will have to start anew.
1. First you have to move your profile to a USB stick. Boot up your Xbox and make sure you are not signed in to any account. Go into Settings > System Settings > Storage > Storage Devices > Hard Drive > Profiles. From here, you will need to move your gamertag profile onto a USB stick (not sure if memory card works).
2. Sign into Xbox Live with your account.
3. Click on God Mode in your games library so it starts up.
4. This is the important part and it may be timing based so try and be quick. When you first boot it up you will see a black screen followed by the ESRB rating screen. Don't do anything yet but as soon as the Atlus screen pops up, pull your USB stick out of your console. You will see a notification informing you to put it back in but DONT. Also, do not freak out because while its unplugged, it should show no achievements, 0 gamerscore, and no gamerpic on your profile. This is normal for this method and don't worry, it will be back.
5. With the USB stick STILL unplugged, press start so you get to the main menu.
6. Once at the main menu, you can now re-insert the USB stick. Also, at this time, you should notice your gamerscore, achievements, and gamerpic showing as normal again.
7. Have a friend host a game and invite you (hosting might work as well but replicate the way I did it just to be sure). Also make sure at least one oath is activated.
8. Make sure you choose only one oath and go for that achievement before going for the 3 oath / 6 oath achs (or any other buggy ones). The reason for this is that this method is known to usually only unlock one achievement at a time. To get others you would have to repeat these steps.
9. Once you beat the level, the achievement should finally unlock! If not, it may have something to do with the timing of when you pull the USB stick out so try different variations. Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding this issue.

This one glitched on me. I believe it has to do with getting Odyssey first. I turned on an oath and played through MP and SP without it popping. Then I turned on 3 and got that achievements, then turned on 6 and got that one. All other achievements are also working (so far), such as Hammer and Buzzsaw, no deaths, etc. This is the only one that will not pop for me so I will use the USB method. Thanks for the info.

*Reported to be glitched/bugged. Refer to the Roadmap for information.
Oaths can be activated before you begin playing one of the maps and they essentially give you an added challenge but also give more XP or gold depending on which ones are chosen. Simply pick any Oath (Sword being the least troublesome) and complete a map with it on.
