How to unlock the War Hammer Master achievement in NINJA GAIDEN Σ - Definitive Guide

The War Hammer is probably the worst weapon in Ryu's arsenal. It is first obtained in Chapter 10, by re-entering the Dworku Monastery and picking it up from the ground on the left hand side of the altar (having come in from the doors). It is a slow, cumbersome weapon with 2 levels, with level 2 making it slightly more tolerable for 5000 essence investment. By far the easiest way to kill an enemy with it is an ET or UT (hold Y until blue or red, respectively,or absorb essence), as this will likely be a one hit kill. It has 2 usable combos, which are Y,Y and a 360 spin on LS then Y, both of which require the level 2 upgrade,

While it is often available in Mission Mode, so are far better options, and in Story Mode the Dabilahro and Unlaboured Flawnessness are much better choices, so it is unlikely to obtain this normally, For grinding out the 1000 kills in your first Story playthrough, there are two spots I would recommend. Chapter 12 has a respawning flock of bats in the area with the Save Point and the manhole to Tairon and Chapter 18 has a group of 45 Ghost Fish that respawn every time you use the doors to the Stairway to the Imperial Palace. X,X,Y is a good combo if you choose to use the Ghost Fish spot, though you will sometimes get nibbled on by 1 or 2 that get through.

Kills as Rachel using the War Hammer do not count for this achievement, as it specifies that you must be Ryu, though they will count for the 500 kills with Rachel achievement.

Surprisingly easy to get by doing the last couple speed master survival missions.

Another good place to do this is the ambush in chapter 12. Save when you get to hall of balance. Then go into the lift the the room with the pill bugs, kill all 40 to go back up then come back down for 80 more kills. When they are dead quit to menu, load the save back then rinse and repeat. I'm not sure if ET/UT kills count or if they are a separate thing so I just kept flipping of the wall and holding Y for a slam which usually gets a few per hit.

You can also grind out anything else here using pretty much the same method. They give out red quite often so you can do the ninpos too. Especially if you have a talisman or two because they refill your magic too so you can do two lots before resetting.

To get Rachel's hammer, at the beginning of the 10th stage you need to return to the building where you just fought the boss (Rachel's sister) in the 9th chapter.

The hammer will be lying against the wall to the left of the altar. Well, then - the usual farming of kills.

Spending an hour and a half on a trophy for each weapon is still a perversion, of course. I think my method will be simpler. You need fish after Doku, but not those in the arena, but those near the stairs (there is also a huge gate there). For weapons like the Hammer, Dabilaro, Wooden sword, after leveling up, use UT; for swords and sickles - just regular blows on the square, but with sufficient time intervals so that a full combo does not work out (otherwise, in the resulting gap, they will start to eat you). For the staff - a combo of a square and a triangle. In all cases, for all types of weapons, it will take you from 10 to 20 minutes to receive the trophy (you can look at my profile).
