How to unlock the Monstrum Combo achievement in Ryse: Son of Rome - Definitive Guide
The Wave with the Bunkers is random in any Arena. The Key for the Achievement is, dont destroy the Bunkers. The Enemies are infinite at this Point. The Enemies which come out from the Bunkers died with 2 Hits.
When the Wave starts, kill as first the 3 normal Enemies in this Wave, in my Video as example the 3 fat Guys with Shields. After this, simple kill the 25 Enemies. The Kills from Focus / God counts too.
PS: You can do this too, at the "Kill the Archers" Wave in Solo Arenamode. After the first big Wave of Enemies, it comes only 2 Enemies until you kill the 4 Archers. Hide for the Arrows from the Archers and kill the Enemies which comes to you.
1) Follow this guide (Pick Mars, Wait till bunkers etc).
2) Get full bars of focus (From fighting, statues or consumable)
3) Use "Elixir of Courage" consumable (This will make 6 minions come in stead of 3).
4) Run into center of minions and use your focus. With Mars, this will kill all 6 minions in one go.
5) Repeat. 6 in one go, so 2 or 3 times and you have 12/18 right off the bat!
Get to the part where you must execute the killers of Carthage to prove yourself worthy to the fight for your emperor. All you have to deal with are 3 fighters at a time,
so just kill all three 9 times on easy without ever going into execution moves (right trigger) and they will keep coming until you finish your 25 kills. Takes about 5 minutes
You guys are making this way more difficult than it needs to be.
Just play the campaign on the easiest difficulty and if you take any damage, just reload checkpoints. Reloading checkpoints won't restart the kill counter you had when you hit that checkpoint. Just make sure you complete each area without damage and then hit the checkpoint.
What I did is hack down the barrier and roll back two or three times and wait for them to rush me, they only advance two at a time and most of the time one runs in and the other waits so hack and roll so they can not get a hit on you. I never advanced past the barrier and always waited for them to come to me, it did take a couple of try's but I can tell you that I messed it up a few times and they never stopped coming. This is the easiest place to get the achievement because it is at the beginning of the map and it is the two hitter enemies and not ones that you can execute so this leaves a lot of room for error with still the high probability of getting the achievement.
As always thanks for looking at my solution! and feel free to contact me with any questions or if you need any help making my solution work and please leave good feedback!
What you want to do is load up the level "Barberous" on Solo. Continue the map as follows:
Kill 2 x waves of barbarians.
Move through the underground tunnel.
Climb the scaffold and kill the two enemies above.
Kill the wave of barbarians and the duel wielding guy, use the mounted crossbow if you wish.
Pick up a full set of Pilums from the rack at the top of the ladder.
Now, what you have to do to continue the level is drop down, open a gate and a few enemies will rush you. Kill them and then retreat back up the ladder to the platform you just came down.
Your task now is to destroy catapults using burning oil and at this point the weak enemies continually spawn. Don't advance towards the goal, instead stay up on the platform.
As the enemies come trough the gate press LT then RT to quickly through a pilum which will one-hit kill the enemy. Keep killing the enemies from a safe distance and grab more pilums as required from the rack behind you. As you do not get in to melee range and there are no projectiles on the map, nothing is going to hit you.
Super safe method and very quick. You have to beat this level 7 times for an achievement so it's also an efficient way to get this done.
This, along with 'Comboing My Way Through' can be a little more annoying than they sound. There is no indication that an enemy is about to strike you other than the animation. Which is difficult to spot if they are coming up from behind you or you are surrounded and the camera angle is tight. Think the Arkham games on NG+.
The best place to unlock this in the MP Arena mode, load up a solo game on Courtyard and choose Mars as your God for a damage boost and start the match. Fight through the 'Warm Up' and wait for the next section to start. The one you want to be looking for is 'Use the oil cauldrons to destroy the bunkers'. Don't bother taking out the bunkers yet and don't worry about getting hit by the initial wave, it has some harder enemy types in there so it's not easy to get through it unscathed. If you can manage it then it will make the next bit a little shorter but it doesn't really matter. Once the initial wave is toast two enemies will continuously spawn from the two bunkers. They are minions and can be killed in 2 hits, just keep on taking out these easy enemies until you have your 25. You can also do this if you end up getting 'Take out the archers' or 'Destroy the catapults', it just takes a little more time. For the archers you will need to go hide behind one of the fences that rise up when their platform does, take out the initial wave again then the minions will start to spawn, only two at a time which makes it a little longer. With the catapults take one of them out then after the initial wave is down go stand right next to the other catapult and it won't fire at you. Once the minions spawn just take them out without moving too far away from the catapult, again they only come 2 at a time.
