How to unlock the Craftsman achievement in Rise of Nightmares - Definitive Guide

Achievement Difficulty: 1/10 to 7/10, based on skill and luck.
Missable: Yes but obtainable anywhere in the game.
Glitched: No

First available to unlock in the basement of the cemetary, Act 2.

This achievement requires you to remove 3 limbs from a creature without killing it. I got this on the first fight in the basement under the Cemetary. Use sharp weapons since they will cut off limbs, I believe I chopped off both arms and his head since I don't know how to attack legs yet.

Just keep using vertical slashes to get both arms then use a horizontal slash to behead them. When you get the Ice Saw in Act 2 that thing is sick at slicing zombies apart so you may have better luck with that weapon.

Ideal weapons include the Ice Saw, Survival Knife and Machete that I have encountered so far.

You CANNOT use the chainsaw. The achievement description after you unlock it specifically states without using a powered weapon! I literally got this by dumb luck while fighting 3 zombies so keep on swinging and just do your best to remove limbs.

It's tricky, I did it mostly by accident but I was on No Mercy Difficulty. I would start by slicing both arms. I found the most consistent way to remove the head is with a downward slash with a cutting weapon, the Ice Saw worked best but the Hatchet or Knife should too.

I just got it on Act 3, scene 2 on Humane diff, using an ice saw. I actually did it on two guys in a row, using basically the same techique I've always tried: Chop off two arms, then do a downward swing on the head.

This is earned by cutting off a creature's head and two arms. This can be pretty tricky, as you'll often kill them before you can remove the third part.

Grab a sharp weapon, like a Knife, Machete or Hatchet. Try to remove each arm first, by swinging directly at each arm. Once both arms are gone, remove the head by swinging down or stabbing at it. If successful, the head will explode, and the body will stumble around for a moment before finally dying.

Refrain from swinging wildly at it, as that will just cause more damage and kill it before you want to. Do not attack the creature after removing it's parts; allow it to die on its own.
