For best results, use tiles that have 2+ arrows in at least two directions. That way, you can beach the defenses of your opponent's tiles rather than waiting until they leave two undefended sides.
To get tiles like that, simply defeat opponents as they will give you better tiles. You can also buy some at the various stores.
Probably the best tile to use early on is the Axecutioner, which has 3 arrows on all 4 sides. To get it, you must beat Quigley (the Otter-thing with a beanie) in Skystones. However, he uses nothing but Axecutioners, so you'll need at least one tile with 4 arrows on one side to capture one of his tiles and be able to win the game. He is found in Chapter 3 in a house right before the door with 2 locks.
Due to the randomness/skill of your opponent it may take a few games to get an opportunity, but it still shouldn't take very long.

- You must complete chapter 4 to unlock this mini-game
- You will need to capture two stones by placing a single stone
- The opponents can be pretty random, so you'll need to play a few games and collect some better stones than your starting deck
- Replay Dreadbeard in the Games Room (Flynn's Ship) to gain the trophy and/or obtain better stones.
- The easiest way to set the move up is to position two weak stones, that your opponent then captures, and he/she leaves the middle free
For example:
[] [] x
[] [] o
[] o o
Placing a stone in the middle would the capture two stones
[] [] x
[] x x
[] x o

In the game of Skystones, you can capture your opponent's pieces if your piece has more arrows than theirs. To capture two stones with one, you'll need to be able to place your stone between theirs and have more arrows than them on each side. If you do, you'll get their piece and this achievement. It might take a few games before you have strong enough pieces and the opportunity to do this.

This should come naturally as you play Skystones numerous times in this game, just plan your moves and use your best Skystones and this trophy will be yours. This trophy unlocks as soon as you capture 2 stones simultaneously.
