How to unlock the Shut Your Eyes achievement in Saints Row: Gat out of Hell - Definitive Guide
You can get kills in two different ways, one by shooting rockets normally using or using to suck enemies into the weapon.
The Essence of Wrath is more openly known as the Ark of the Covenant. To acquire this deadly weapon, you must become notorious within the depths of Hell by causing enough chaos and death to warrant the full wrath of the satanic forces. Once your notoriety is full, you have a chance of two things happening: the souls of all around you are sacrificed to summon an Arch-Duke, or you shall see Hell's top agent appear before you (as Genki). He will be equipped with the Ark of the Covenant, so all you have to do is kill him for it. He has the most health of anything you'll find out and about in New Hell, so you might end up needing to unleash more than simple bullets into him. Slay him and claim your prize in the form of one of the Sin weapons.
Second/final step: slaughter.
Now armed with the Ark, you might want to either invest some Wages in Unlimited ammo for Special weaponry (14,500 wages / Lv6 for +25%, 25,000 wages / Lv12 for +50%, and 42,000 wages / Lv20 for unlimited ammo). The Ark comes with its own sub-challenge to this too, namely using to suck up souls (similar to a specific weapon you'd find in the Ratchet and Clank games). Specific souls are required for this, as you can't just use Husks to gather kills; the basic grunts that you find throughout New Hell in retaliation to you causing chaos can only be absorbed. Dark Inciters and Legionnaires, Arch-Dukes, and Genki cannot be absorbed. While you only need a small amount for this challenge, if you upgrade the Ark, you can cause more chaos through killing a target with . Once killed, an additional burst will spread out from the target's exploding body and seek another to ravage.
This Essence of Wrath is a special weapon that is dropped by a special enemy that only spawns randomly at level 6 notoriety instead of an Arch Duke. Once you kill this enemy you will be given the Essence of Wrath. This weapon basically functions like a Ghostbusters style protopack that can suck up enemies and then uses them as ammo. This weapon isn't overly great unless you fully upgrade it, so while working on this trophy is is recommended you mostly use the suck ability with to kill enemies, as it is a 1 hit kill on all Gat sized enemies and there is a challenge for suck kills as well. Once you reach 250 total kills with the Essence of Wrath you will earn this trophy.
See "Plague of Gat" for details on grinding this achievement.
To get the Essence of Wrath you must kill Genki. Genki spawns randomly in place of an Arch-duke when you reach level 6 notoriety. He actually has more health than an Arch-Duke and is much more agile. He still goes down pretty fast if you have upgraded weapons though.
