How to unlock the Dragon Sword Master achievement in NINJA GAIDEN Σ - Definitive Guide

As the name suggests, use the dragon sword to defeat 1,000 enemies. It does not matter which level the sword is upgraded to.

The best way to farm this is to find a fiend challenge (such as the storage room in the airship in chapter 3.) Keep a rough count of how many enemies you've killed and when you approach the max (60 for normal, 80 for hard, etc.) leave the area and return. The fiend challenge will reset and you'll have a whole new batch of enemies to fight.

I'll mention that this can take a deceptively long amount of time to complete without farming. Playing on normal difficulty, using exclusively the dragon sword, defeating every enemy I encountered, and finishing every fiend challenge, I did not unlock this until chapter 18.

Edit: Smaller enemies, such as the ghost fish, apparently do count for the achievement. So another way to spam this is in the final two chapters.

Major edit: After playtesting this myself, I can confirm that little enemies such as bats and ghost fish do count for the achievement. Therefore a more efficient way to farm this is to wait until the final two chapters and spam your weapon of choice. One spawn point for ghost fish is right in front of the Vigoor palace and in the Labyrinth area of Chapter 14 (you will also encounter the fish earlier on higher difficulties, but I strongly recommend going for this achievement on normal.)

I found it a good idea to keep the Art of the Fire Wheels equipped just in case you get swarmed and need a second to regroup. The fire shield will destroy most fish on contact for when things get too chaotic.

bats should also count, in chapter 9, before collecting the "wolf, deity of wisdom", there is a small room that respawns these bats infinitely, just go down the ladder where the "wolf" is and go back to the 100 kills using the technical UT worked, then I'll test it with weapons, mainly projectiles.

I suggest doing bats, ghost fish etc. They count. I dont know what you did. I am on normal run chapter 16 and got 1000 kills on dabilahro and dragon sword. I didnt use the grind method but i did farm 99 999 essence 2 times to max all.

Does anyone can confirm that you can't unlock achievements for "kills" or "do X for 100 times" in hero mode? I'm currently in hero mode and I find these are not cumulating in my percentage stats. I'm at chapter 10 but got 0% for all said achievements but "level complete" ones and "scarab obtaining" ones works well for me.

@seriousst001 unlocks yes, Ninpo needs to be at level 3 to count, except fire Wheel,
the only achievement that shows percentage is to unlock all achievements

@MasterJoaoFelip Thanks, which means there's no way to check your overall stats isn't it?

@TG Airborne 88
the only ones that have to be done in a single save file are the rank and gold scarab

@MasterJoaoFelip
Thank you for confirming it. And also thanks for confirming my second question I had in mind in advance (just the ranking though, scarab made sense) laugh
Wait, what about the ambushes? Do they have to be in a single save file too?

Since I can't find this anywhere else back, do these type of achievements have to be unlocked in a single save slot or are they accumulative over multiple save files?
Just curious though, as I am thinking it has to be tallied up in the end.

Personally, I did this: At the beginning of Chapter 18, I returned to the place where I fought the ghost of Doku. Ghosts of piranhas constantly appeared there and I killed them all. Then I would go back to the beginning of chapter 18 and enter again. The ghosts of the piranhas appeared again and I killed them again. In general, this is according to the principle “entered, killed, left, returned” . I did this trick not only with the Dragon sword, but with all weapons. I advise everyone to receive prizes for killing weapons this way... unless, of course, you have the same iron patience as I do
