How to unlock the Sand Nemesis achievement in Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Definitive Guide
There is a huge round room where a single scarab like creature will fly out of the ground. Hit it and then soon hundreds will start to pour out. They are easily taken out in one hit to do a few smashes and this achievement will unlock very quickly.
However...near the end of the game there's a sequence where enemies will keep on attacking you on down a massive external spiral staircase. By this time your sword will be able to slice through foes like butter so engage the front rank, roll back to avoid any slashes and repeat. The path is too narrow for them to rush or flank you and they;ll telegraph their attacks waaaay in advance. One minute later and you're done!
I got this achievement here simply my mashing X making sure I didn't get to close to the guys that make more skeletons until I killed 50.
Good luck!
you are in a large room with lots of space to move. stay well back from the enemies and charge your attack for a power hit then when they come hit them and roll back.continue to do this untill u kill around 40 enemies then small flying scarabs come from all angles. this is the only tricky part. simply keep tapping X and after a few enemies you will have the achievement.
If you find the scarabs hard to defeat withoutbeing hit from behind when they arrive quit to he main menu and start over and your streak will continue, so you have 40 kills then quit before the scarabs hit you and go back to the start. the reason i ound this is because the first time the scarabs hit me and i carried on killing a few before i quit then came back on and only killed 45 when i got the achievement. this mode is also better because it tells you how many you have killed
Just get a bit familiar with the room because it's frustrating to get stuck while running away from the monsters' touch and remember not to use powers.
What I did was I held , waited for them to approach and then released it. It took a while, but not very long and if you're like me, we rather do all the achievements as soon as possible in the story.
Last advice, if you haven't realized it by now, the cameras on this game are a bit annoying, sometimes not giving you the best possible angle. So, make sure no one is behind you nor about to attack without you being aware of.
If this solution helped your hunt, a thumbs up is appreciated as feedback.
What you want to do is stick to the path on the edge of the pool, charge your power attack and wait for a group of skeletons to approach; when they do release X to do a power attack and immediately roll away from the group with B, rolling twice if you want to be on the safe side.
Then just get a comfortable distance away from the approaching group, sticking to the outside edge of the pool and continue to use power attacks followed by rolling away, do this enough and you'll have your achi.
By following the outside edge of the pool rather than running through it you can avoid the summoners altogether which stops you killing them (thus letting them keep spawning skeletons for you to kill), and not be subjected to their more powerful attacks.
When you approach the door at the far end of the room, a mob of skeletons and a few summoners (glowing guys) will appear.
Wait for the skeletons to get close to you, and then hold down X to do a charged attack; if you're lucky you'll knock down a bunch of skeletons and will probably kill a couple at the same time.
If a skeleton is preparing to strike, press B to roll away. Also stay out of the corners and always keep the enemies in front of you. All the enemies are really slow here, so it's not hard to keep a safe distance and then move in for a quick slash or two.
Don't kill the summoners, since they're the ones who keep bringing in enemies. Save them for the end, after the achievement has unlocked.
Since enemies will keep spawning in this room as long as summoners are active, just stay in this area and keep at it.
This trophy isn’t as hard as it may sound. The best way to go about it is to find a big room with a decent amount of enemies, then just take your time and swing away. I recommend a place called ‘The Baths’ which can be found later on in the story.
Just try and use the power attack ALL the time. Just hold and when a set of enemies approach you let go, then move back a bit more and repeat. If it looks like you are about to be hit then just roll towards the enemy attacking you, this will put it off and stop the attack meaning you won’t lose health. Just remember you CAN’T use the following things:
Stone Armour – ()
Flame Trail – ()
Whirlwind On – ()
Ice Blast – ()
Power Of Time – ()
