Method #1:
A great place to get a 100x combo is in the Dark Arts Battle Arena's. These Battle Arenas consist of 5 waves of enemies, which you can replay as many times as you like. The arenas appear on the map around the time you find the Map Chamber or complete the "Jackdaw's Rest" story quest.
I suggest going to the Forbidden Forest Dark Arts Battle Arena - directly beside the "East North Hogwarts Region" Floo Flame. Wave 4 in this arena consists of 2x Mountain Trolls which are easy to avoid and if you constantly spam the basic attack
you'll easily get a combo over 160+ before they die.
Method #2:
Find yourself an undead zombie (Inferius) and cast basic attacks on them. You'll find your basic attacks do no damage to them but still builds the combo meter. Inferius need to be weakened by fire before you can damage them. Avoid casting any spells, dodge their attacks and you can build a huge combo. Inferius usually lurk around the Forbidden Forest at night.

Just unlocked this achievement using an easy cheese method that I found if you're having trouble! It's during the main quest called "Lodgok's Loyalty" & can't be missed.

I did this easily in the FF DA Arena, on Wave 5, killed everyone, kept just the troll and used Crucio and then Imperio and was able to spam attacks while he was standing still. Then by the time he was free, the spell cooldown had ended to repeat.

While I'm sure there is almost endless places to get this, the easiest and earliest place I was able to get this was during the main quest, "Jackdaw's Rest".
During this mission you will be in a cave and eventually you will come across a room full of spiders that spawn. You'll know you're at the right part of this when your character says "There's the bridge! It's almost complete!"
Spiders will start spawning shortly after you say this and this is when you'll want to avoid getting hit. After the 1st wave of spiders, 2 giant red "Thornback Matriarch" spiders will spawn in the 2nd wave. These have a lot of health so combined with hitting them, and also going for the regular spiders that spawn, you'll have more than enough time and enemy hp to get your combo up to 100, assuming you avoided getting hit.
I'd like to also add that if you don't manage to get it during the spider fight, once the spider fight is complete, the bridge will finish. Upon crossing over it, you'll come into a room full of way more enemies so you should be able to get it no problem. Even if not, there's still several other ways in game for you to get it. Another being any of the arenas you can come across that has waves of enemies for you to defeat.
I'm about 4 hours into this game at the time of writing this, but I've also been doing every side quest I see so if you only did main missions up til now, it'd probably take about an hour or so to get to this mission from the start. Good luck!

I'm sure all those guides are correct and can be used to unlock that achievement just fine, but there is an even easier method:
Find some Inferni enemies (some sort of zombie like humanoid undead)
They are invincible until you hit them with a fire spell. And you want to avoid exactly that!
Usually they are not alone, so kill all but one and make sure you DO NOT hit the last one with fire. Instead, just spam your basic attack. This does 0 dmg, but increases your combo.
Just dodge the attacks and eventually you will stunlock the Inferni even with your basic attacks.

Get an inferni* a single one, and spam him with RT over and over in three hit combos. You can literally just click it as fast as it will go. I got to over 500 combo that way. Much easier if you can get it against a wall.

As stated in previous guides, The Dark Arts Battle Arena is the best location to get this.
I just want to add to those guides and have an extra/easier way to get this if you can't seem to manage it.
Like in the previous guides, enter the arena and progress until you reach wave 4.
It helps if you have the Basic Cast Mastery Talent as this will reduce cooldowns upon a Basic hit.
Once you have reached wave 4 what you want to do is immediately kill one of the two trolls that spawn using Avada Kedavra.
Now with only a single troll left, cast Imperio on him and he will no longer fight you and remain frozen as there are no other enemies.
From her, just lay into him with your basic attacks.
He will start fighting again just before imperio's cooldown is finished if you have the talent I mentioned above.
Before he manages to get an attack in, you can cast Crucio on him, which will interrupt his attack, giving you enough time to once again cast imperio on him immediately after crucio, continuing the cycle until you reach your 100x combo or higher if you want!

I found this by accident, you can do it on very early game. Just after you met Scrope, before entering the cave you will find 3 frog like enemy. Bait them back to the location shown on the video, they will get stuck, and you can safely attack them until 100 combos reached.

I managed to do this in a stupidly easy way; I found a group of Inferius (enemies that can only be harmed with fire), I just used my basic attack over and over, dodged and blocked when required. Took maybe a minute.

That’s basically what I did. Used focus potion for faster refill, spammed accio and basic casts

The hardest part of achieving a 100X combo is getting into a fight with enough enemies. So the easiest way to get this done is to travel to one of the Battle Arenas in the open world. You will need to complete a short task/puzzles in the area to gain access to the arena. These arenas challenge you to take on waves of enemies, plenty to get a 100X combo off of. Just be sure to not get hit by dodging and blocking at the right times. You can replay these arenas as much as you need to.

This is a guide on how to string big combos in Hogwarts Legacy and win the “Raising Expectations” Achievement/Trophy.
To earn the Achievement/Trophy you must perform a 100-hit combo. Your meter resets to zero every time you take a hit or you are slow to hit an opponent. The amount of time you have at your disposal is quite generous, so the only real problem is finding a place with enough enemies to perform a long combo.
It's a good idea to try to win Raising Expectations relatively early in your playthrough, as later on your hits will be stronger and enemies will die more easily, especially if you're starting to combo your spells. So what you need to do is hit your opponents only with your basic attacks and dodge when you're about to get hit. Continue in this pattern and your counter will soon surpass 100-hits!

I was able to get this pretty easily just with basic attacks and occasional blocks while going for the main mission in the north of the map.
A little more than half way between the north bog entrance (not to be confused with north ford bog to the very north) and san bakar's tower fast travels at the north of the map there is a bridge over a a small canyon with water. Two trolls spawned down there for me. Just attack one with you basic attack with while manually aiming with 
. You don't move while manually aiming so you don't fall down into the canyon. Just watch out for the yellow prompts around you head and block + stupefy by holding 
, then go back to spamming your basic attacks. I was Level 20 and had the combo counter at 100 at about 40% remaining health. Other than the rock throw attacks, the trolls can't reach you there.

Everyone is on the right track for getting the 100 combo. What you're missing is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to use the Inferi to your advantage. You don't even need to dodge!
My screenshot https://imgur.com/a/NNvOhUT
-In the North Ford Bog, there is an Inferi Lair that has gravestones sticking sideways out of a cliff wall. Go to San Bakar's Tower Floo Flame, or the North Ford Bog Floo Flame, and then head slightly NE or directly SE, respectively.-Once you get there, you need to aggro the Inferi so they crawl out of the ground, and then quickly fly up to the nearby small cliff top where the tombstones are poking out of. Land on top so you can see down to one of the tombstones. You are unable to land on a tombstone directly.
-Then, carefully jump down onto one of the tombstones so that none of the Inferi can reach you.
-From there, make sure you aim with the right click button (
for PS5) while you use your simple attack over and over again on any Inferius in range until you get your combo. No need for dodging! Aiming ensures that you don't nudge your character forward after every attack, so you'll stay on the tombstone the whole time.This solution doesn't need you to fight anything, dodge anything, or time anything correctly in order to get it.

The easiest way for me was to just find an Inferius and keep casting my regular spell (RT). It will not take damage, so you can keep casting and raising your combo as much as you want.

The easiest way for me to do this was vs a pensieve mini boss (at the end of an ancient magic test. Their attacks have always the same pattern and they have enough health to just spam your basic attacks in between + you only need to focus on one (big) target.

There are multiple ways of doing this achievement through "juggling" enemies with your manipulation/force spells and the use of battle arenas.
I stumbled across a group of Ashwinders fighting a troll (not too uncommon, especially if you are hunting Collection boxes within bandit camps) and managed to earn this achievement by spamming my general attack and dodge-rolling any incoming damage.
Keep in mind using "flipendo" on a troll's forward slam will smash his club into his face and stun him, an easy way to create more distance between you and rack up a few extra hits.
My only other tip would be to try and earn this earlier in the game, as trolls die pretty easy once you're level 30 or above.

Reaching a combo of 100 in Hogwarts Legacy isn’t very tricky at all. The hardest part is staying in a fight that lasts longer than 100 spell casts, so you can keep that combo alive. That’s why you should sit on this one until later on in the game. This is easily grinded out and possible when you face any kind of troll.
Usually when facing off against a troll you’d spam magic attacks and use Flipendo to make the troll hit itself in the face, and the fight would be over relatively quickly. However, if you’re one-on-one, just chip away with your basic attack and build that combo up. The massive health bar of the troll makes it easier, along with his telegraphed attacks that you can dodge out the way of. Just don’t get hit, rack up that combo and you'll get an achievement.
And if all else fails, find an Inferius (the manor in Manor Cape is kind of perfect for this), and just keep hitting them with the Basic Case. Because they don't take damage unless you've set them on fire, you can rack up a 100 combo really easily. And you can do it from distance too, so there's literally no chance of you dropping the combo... unless you fall asleep...

It’s easy to do on the way to the cartography hall; the main thing is to dodge and block attacks in time.

If you can’t do it, then the easiest way is to beat the infernal. If you don't set it on fire, then it is invulnerable to damage, beat the last one remaining 100 times and the trophy is in your pocket. Can be found in cemeteries.
