How to unlock the Big game hunter achievement in Risen - Definitive Guide
This will be probably your last achievement as it was mine. This game tracks kills, gold and other stats through multiple saves so its possible to save/reload cheese it like some other achievements in the game. What i did was setting the game to easy have a good weapon and try to gather a lot of enemies around you and then save. Kill the enemies,load your save and repeat.

This is for the XBOX one version then? Your solution? I ask because it seems to work a lot like the 360 version. And of course I'm ot complaining but to imagine a remaster and them not patching this out is a little odd, welcome, but odd.

yes it works like the 360 version they never patched anything out as the game is more just a port then a remaster. I played it on pc too and even on that version the exploits never got patched

The tracking of amount of beasts killed works similar to other achievements, where the number is independent of your game state. You could kill the Vulture on the beach where you start 2000 times over by way of reloading a game, if you felt a bit crazy. Not the best approach though. If on your first playtrhough you kill everything available, the guesstimate of total beasts killed is around 1000-1200. Two full playthroughs would land you this achievement more or less, not counting any reloads.
Beast slayer was unlocked for me at the end of chapter 1 on my first playthrough, and Big game hunter unlocked about 3/4 into chapter 1 on my second playthrough. That involved several areas of the game and monsters killed twice by reloading after some Ashbeast love, and so your mileage may vary. If you still don't have this after two playthroughs, know that Chapter 1 contains the majority of the monsters available if you have to start a new game and run around a bit.
