Thanks for sharing this method. For me this was more easily done on 'Chapter Replay Elite' when you have the upgraded poison arrow skill.

Nice one! I made the mistake of killing the first guy that runs towards you, but then watched the video again and spotted you shot him in the leg. Got the cheevo next attempt! Thanks.

Worked great on my 3rd try. Thanks! Like JennyOwnz said, make sure to shoot the first guy in the leg with a normal arrow. Than just wait for them to all bunch up. You will take some shots. I actually died while the achievement popped.

This worked like a charm :)
Actually you can get the 5 kills in 10 seconds achievement also in the same place, use big heads card to make it much easier.

A truly great guide! I used this same scenario (on elite replay) for the "Trusty Friend" and "Triple Threat" achievements too.

This was great, thank you. Same thing works for 3 enemies with a shotgun blast. Did them both same place, same way in a matter of minutes. Big thumbs up on this solution.

Confirming that this solution worked great as of today (june 2018) on the Xbox One. I used this same setup to get the Triple Threat (3 kills with one shotgun hit) and A Trusty Old Friend (5 kills with rifle in 10 seconds).

It proved easier when I didn't take too powerful a bow (so my one hit in the leg didn't kill the lead bad guy!) and also took an outfit that gave me the 3rd level of the Survivor skill tree for the Death Cloud Arrows perk to increase the size and duration of the poison cloud.

Got this on the second attempt but only because I fired the arrow too early and missed the 5th enemy. Positive vote from me

I had to delete my files and start over. Then I got the success in the lvl. Quite a lot of bugged achievements.

There is a great spot in the game with 6(!) enemies standing together. This opportunity can be found later on in the "Research Base" level when you are given the task to


Stay to the left of the map as much as possible without alerting the enemies until you discover a new base camp. Swim underneath the ice, and drown the first enemy standing next to the opening using a water finisher. Get out of the water, and kill the second guy.

Immediately turn around, and shoot a poison arrow in the large group of enemies standing next to a red truck. *Achievement unlocked!*

You can restart the checkpoint at the base camp as many times as you need.

Here is a video of me getting the achievement:

It's worth mentioning that if people are using the Expeditions mode to come back to this mission, they need to pick Chapter Replay Elite which means they spawn in with all their equipment. I tried it on regular Chapter Replay and there isn't enough mushrooms to make poison arrows.

I check pointed after killing 2nd guy stealthy. Was still able to get by making a Molotov and throwing at tree in front of truck. Key was to run to far right so they didn't know where I was. When I ran around to left (by chest) only 5 guys came. +1 from me because it's still a great place to do this.

The best solution easily! I also used this spot to kill 3 with one shotgun blast and kill 5 in 10 seconds with a rifle. The shotgun one took some time but it worked.

Work for me after two or three tries. It seems that the achievement glitched for me, so I reseted the game and tried again...
I could also get A Trusty Old Friend this way!
Thumbs up, man...

Good solution. and +1 to DuBear61 for the alternate way (which I had to use because I was being all stealth-like in the water)

I down voted as it didn't work for me, I got to the base without alerting anyone but I only got 3 guys to turn up after you kill the guard after the water. Maybe it's patched?

Beets101, try jrod39's extra tip: "the key is that you have to emerge from the water and kill the first soldier within FULL VIEW of the second soldier. If you wait until the second guy leaves, he doesn't shout and the guys don't run around the truck and group up."

This solution worked for me only after watching the video - the key is that you have to emerge from the water and kill the first soldier within full view of the second soldier. If you wait until the second guy leaves, he doesn't shout and the guys don't run around the truck and group up. SandMan NL1's comment about needing to turn around immediately is extremely important too - I ended up just ignoring the second guy and turning around and quick-firing a poison cloud arrow into the group. It unlocked immediately upon doing that.

Definitely a great solution, so deserving of an up-vote, but wanted to add that stealth isn't your friend here. You want someone to yell so that they all come a-runnin'. smile

*Spoiler*

This is during the mission Silent Night.

This is when you're still trying to meet up with Jacob after the remnant is attacked by Trinity. You get a checkpoint right before this, and can retry as many times as you need, it took me about 7 tries.

This solution contains SPOILERS for the final boss battle.

*********************

I had a pretty easy time getting this right near the end of the game, when you are


Konstantin will call in a whole bunch of Trinity soldiers that will make a beeline for wherever you are. If you go up on the upper level, there are two wooden balcony-like structures that are behind an open archway in the stone walls. If you wait here on the balcony, soldiers should come up from both ends and bottleneck in the archway. Hide behind the arch, dodge around and wait for 5 to show up, then fire a gas arrow at their feet.

The easiest way to do this on on the Acropolis level. Unless you are just getting to that part, you will need to redo it in Score Attack Mode. So, go to Expeditions, then score attack mode, select the Acropolis level, choose Tomb Raider difficulty and begin your game. Continue to the cutscene and until the enemies pop up. Run back to the tent and then use the poison arrows on the blob of enemies. Here is a video to aid you:

Got this by accident in the Cold Darkness Awakend dlc. I had unlimited poison arrows equipped, since I was going for the 75 kills. Enemies will swarm you at times giving you plenty of chances to climb up a tree or to the top of a train car for an easy high ground advantage.

I've found a very easy way to unlock this one. Simply play Remnant Resistance mission, no need to worry about cards, although unlimited poison arrow helps. Choose Targeted Strike on the hardest difficulty, it gives you tons of enemies to defeat. Choose Siberian Wilderness. Start mission at very edge of clif, drawn enemies near, and simply shoot a poison arrow into the herd. I think. There were about 10 of them gathered when I unlocked this. Good luck

Oi Pessoal, agora segue a nossa solução em Português, facilmente vocês conquistam este troféu se forem até a Acrópole no menu de expedições, apenas andando entre os inimigos e voltando correndo para trás, deixe eles te perseguirem e jogue a flecha de veneno. Espero que ajude.

Via Expeditions mode, you can do this against the first group of enemies in the chapter "The Acropolis". Alert the enemies by getting detected or shooting up the place, then go back to the tent where you came from. Hide behind the box near the tent and let the enemies come to you. There should be 5 or more very close together. You can also shoot an arrow in their knees to slow them down. Poison Arrows can be crafted using normal Arrows, mushrooms and cloth.

Poison arrows can be very powerful if used well, killing a whole group of enemies with a single arrow. If you've not unlocked this during your main playthrough, I'd recommend attempting it on "The Acropolis" in Expeditions Mode. Here, when you reach the first group of enemies, fire a few unsilenced shots into the air to alert them, then run back towards the tent near to the path that you've come down and wait for the enemies to follow. With a little luck, you'll find that they cluster together, presenting a perfect opportunity for a poison arrow into the middle of the group to unlock the achievement. If necessary, you can aim normal arrows at the legs of any enemies approaching in front of the main group, to slow them down until the others catch up.
