How to unlock the King of the Lost Shrine achievement in NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... - Definitive Guide

You can do this fairly easily on the first playthrough (set to Easy). If you're playing on Normal and you want to get it on the first playthrough just save before the fight, set to Easy, and use the Phoenix Spear from Facade. I used Dark Whirlwind to kill all the Shades (you have to kill them before you can attack Gretel), then just spammed Dark Lance and melee attacks. I wasn't sure how long this took but it was doable. Skip all cutscenes. After you get the achievement just reload previous save/set back to Normal.

It's recommended you wait to do this trophy until you're working on Endings C or D, or wait until after you've completed Ending E since you'll get a super OP weapon from that run. 

Gretel is the first "boss" you'll come to in Part Two when you have to go back to the Lost Shrine for a story-related quest. The fight is pretty straight forward, so getting this done in the time required won't be too much of an issue. You can melee and/or use spells against her for the first part. She'll cycle from being vulernable to attack and putting up a light shield. When the shield goes up, you need to lure the Shades she spawns into the sunlight shining from the ceiling. This will damage/kill them. It should only take 1 or 2 before Gretel gets mad, drops her shield, and starts attacking you again. When she does, just attack her back. This will repeat a few times until she reaches her final "form" (for lack of a better word) which is just her doing a fast-moving spin attack around the room. Evade out of the way when she gets close and just burn her down with magic. 

The timer starts right when the fight does and the cutscenes that play during the fight do count towards the timer, so be sure to skip them once they appear. Once you've taken her down and if it was within the proper time limit, the trophy will unlock.

For this and all of the various boss kill achievements, bear in mind that time spent watching cutscenes DOES count. You may manage some of these in your first playthrough, but don't save and reload a bunch trying to get them done. You will grow stronger on the Ending B and Ending C paths, while the bosses do not, so this will be much easier later on and you'll have no qualms about skipping cutscenes by then.

See ​​​​A True Friend (10G) for more info on this achievement.

Don't even try on the first playthrough, only on the second. The second playthrough will start from the middle of the game, this boss will be the first in line, after 30 minutes. Save in front of the door to it and do not forget that the timer is ticking even during cutscenes. So it’s better to watch the cut-scene, die and start again, already skipping it.

Oh yeah, to hit him faster, take a Strength Capsule, which doubles your sword damage.

You can do it on your first playthrough. I did it (on hard) with: level 21, 2 Strength Capsule, 2 Magic Capsule and as a first level Ax of Beheading weapon at 15% Attack Power. Of course we skip the cutscenes. The boss has an unpleasant attack when he starts spinning, because you can’t hit normally, but even with it it’s doable.
