Thanks, I was starting to think throwing objects didn't work (only tried bricks and books before). This is so much fun to do!

It's LT not RT for the aiming.

This achievement is surprisingly easy for a 50G. I got this in the Create Contracts Tutorial, which started me in the Chinatown level. Walking into the mission area, I walked all the way straight, past the King (who’s the suited dude talking on the cell phone), and to the end of the map where there’s a female chef cooking up some stuff at a booth. To the left of the booth is a knife. I marked this lady as a target (since I was creating a contract), and picked up the knife. Pressing LT to aim at her from the side of the booth, I pressed RT and threw the knife at her. She died and the achievement popped, to my surprise. I suppose this would be one of the earliest points where you could get the achievement – I haven’t even started the story mode yet when I got this.

Hope this helps!

You don't actually have to mark them as a target. I did just like you said, but forgot to mark her first. Still popped right away.

They made this achievement 50 gamerscore because Absolution originally had 47 achievements instead of 46. They took out "Tools of the Trade" which was originally worth 30gs and this one worth 20. It was to get all the disguises and guns unlocked. And it was supposed to be a 360 exclusive, the PS3 equivalent being the get all other trophies platinum one. Why they took it out I don't know, but it's still listed in the official guide book. Anyways great guide, followed it exactly and got it.

This is fairly simple, but finding items to throw seem to be very few and far between. Most levels will have some sort of throwing weapon, you just need to find one of the items you can use. In this case, and the video below we’re going to use a knife. Once you have your weapon of choice, aim with the :lt: then throw with the :rt: when you have the red marker around the enemy’s head.

this achievement can be done as soon as you finished the first level !!! in the first level it doesnt seem to count ??
so in every level where you find a knife ! you hold the left trigger button for trowing stuff like bottles wrenches and KNIFES. with the knife in hand aim at a enemy if your close enough it will turn in a RED MARKER ON HIS HEAD ! now throw the knife and bam 50 g *importand note* you have to get away with it !!! if somebody sees you and the alarms go off you dont get the achievement !!!!!

Just in case you are wondering, this can be done with a screwdriver too.

This can be obtained in any mission beyond the prologue (cannot be obtained in Personal Contract mission). Pick up an axe or a knife (or anything that is a sharp throwing weapon). Hold and aim for the head of the enemy. As long as it's red, press to throw it. If successful, the object will kill the enemy. The earliest you can get this is in Mission 2: The King of Chinatown. There are knives near the chefs. You can pick one up and use it to gain the achievement, then reload if you wish.

You can obtain this as early as Contract 2: King of Chinatown.

When you start the mission there should be an ax in some crates to the right.

Take it.

In the next ally should be a single police officer. Press cn_L2 this should bring the ax out. Aim at the head and wait for the red dot. Press cn_R2 and that should "throw the weapon and kill him.

Trophy should pop.

You'll get shown how to do this in the very first mission, but the trophy won't unlock then. If you want the trophy as quick as you can, the earliest you can get it is during mission 2 "The King of Chinatown". From the start go to the right side of the map and look at the crates. Stuck in one of the crates is an axe, pick it up. Now in the alleyway right next to you is a police officer, get the axe out with and aim it as his head until it flashes red circles. Now all you have to do is throw it with . The trophy will unlock shortly afterwards.

The mission is the king of Chinatown, as we appeared, we pass from the cooks immediately to the left there will be a knife, take it and throw it at the cook (a round piece should appear above his head).

it may not necessarily be a cook. I threw it at a cop while standing at the counter where a live chef was hanging out a few seconds ago

In any level, we take a heavier or sharper object and aim at the head. As soon as the sight is fixed and turns red, we press the button and a miracle! The trophy is obtained).
