How to unlock the Bring Down the Hammer achievement in Like a Dragon: Ishin! - Definitive Guide

To enhance weapons you need to place a seal into a weapon or armor with an open seal slot successfully.
You could do this with only owning one seal but you will require multiple items since you will have to disassemble the enhanced weapon to get your seals back.

I would recommend doing this after creating a few weapons while trying to get seals through crafting. If you want to create a bunch of weapons with an open slot without wasting too much money I think the best option would be to buy Cannons at the Mukurogai arms dealer and using an iron hammer to craft Bronze Cannons with an open seal slot.
Make sure to save your game before placing a seal to avoid losing the seal, especially if you have a low % chance of success.

Unsure if placing seals on equipment that have multiple open seal slots count more than just once.

For me the achievent did not pop after placing 3 seals in the worn sword 34 times.

Edit: It did after 48. Wich would be about right considering i already had all seals completed for the completion list. Either i had a delay in the achievment or it counts each weapon only once.

After getting 44/45 seals, what I did to finish this up was a battle dungeon with high weapon drops, Sanada -> Sword Squad, which I needed for phoenix feather drops anyways. After a few runs, put a single seal on every weapon with an open slot then sell them all. I’d get an average of six or so weapons per run and depending on what weapons, 400 or more ryo selling them.

You don’t need to place each seal in an empty slot, and it doesn’t need to be done to 100 separate pieces of equipment either

I kept placing a seal onto an occupied spot rather than an empty one (note that you don’t get the seal you replaced back for doing this, so make sure you have enough), and I got the achievement

It only counts once.

What if using a worn sword with 3 empty slots, you enhance it one at a time, backing out between each enhancement. Does it count for 3 then since you’ve enhanced a weapon three times, not 3 seals at once?

To answer MiZ Dove, yes you can keep backing out and applying seals to open slots, I just unlocked the achievement on the 4th time I’d put a seal on an open slot on 1 weapon, I think it might just be counting the ‘Enhancement complete’ screen as 1 no matter how many you put down at a time.

Save this for last whether or not you're going for 100%. Personally I wasn't but did most everything else so after the story I used the bonus money to put seals I don't care about into gear I don't use. Didn't have to craft or buy anything and had plenty of gear and seals from the combat and dungeons.

We buy 30 Worn Sword from the Rakugai Arms Dealer, go to the forge (it’s nearby, around the corner), make an Enchance with any 3 Sphere Seals, I had Sphere Seal: Attack. And then we simply disassemble this sword in Disassemble, all 3 spheres are returned to you.

Repeat this process about 25-30 times until the trophy drops.

It is important that you need to craft only one Sphere Seal at a time, so that three crafts are spent on one sword, after all, we need to do this 100 times. The trophy will drop in about an hour. This is much faster than looking for these orbs in dungeons and crafting new swords.

Don't forget to level up your forge to level 16 or higher first.

Do it strictly after 100% completion of all the seals in the complete sheet. There you will have to insert at least 46 different seals into weapons and armor. The rest (and you'll probably be doing this late in the game) doesn't even require disassembly. You can get by with one armor and one katana with one slot. You can simply alternate two seals with 100% probability in the same slot. This, of course, will waste seals forever, but do you really need them after beating the game? Most likely you will have a total of more than 54 seals, which you wouldn’t mind wasting on a trophy.
