Spartacus Legends

this is a very easy cheevo and shouldn't take long. so here is an easy to follow 15 point by point guide to follow (you will only need to follow the first 6 if you don't drink alcohol, 13 if you're fun, 15 if your as wierd as me)

1. recruit a fighter with dual knives or swords

2. add the weapons and armour you want.

3. face one of the 4 opponents that you can fight at any time in the first district.

4. spam this combo - Hold down and repeat hitting X

5. don't bother blocking, just keep attacking

6. don't even bother adding your free kill boost or buying one (unless you enjoy the deaths, which are pretty fun) as you don't need to

7. poor yourself a hefty jug of red wine like the gladiators drink

8. unlock the cheevo after little to no effort

9. down your drink in one

10. yell "FOR SPAAAAAAAARTA!"

11. realise that your character is not Greek

12. feel bad that you don't know geography

13. get over it and carry on killing gladiators

14. rate my solution with a thumbs up cos i'm sexier than a loose moraled hand maiden

15. add a funny point 15 in the comments because i couldn't think of one.

You can only execute/slaughter an opponent when your fame meter is full. The fame meter is the one in the top left corner (Golden leaves). The difference between a slaughter and an execution is that you have to purchase the execution boost (You start the game with 5 already but it's 500 silver for 5) whereas you can do a slaughter at any time, providing you have full fame. An execution is a gruesome cut scene whereas a slaughter will just remove a limb.

There are various ways you can fill the fame meter; it will fill dramatically if you chain good combos together without being hit or you can taunt the opposition by pressing any direction on the D-Pad.

It's fairly difficult to do executions early on in the game, as you won't really be able to fill the fame meter. But fear not! I've found a great area for you to get them.

If you've seen the TV series, you'll know what the pits are. The pits are lawless arenas where shamed Gladiators are sent to fight to the death. Every battle in Insulae (The third area you unlock on the world map) takes place in the pits and is a fight to the death. It only takes a few blows to reach maximum fame here.

BE WARNED! This is a fight to the death. You either kill your opponent or he will kill you. If you die, you can resurrect your Gladiator but it will cost you silver after the first time. It goes like this: it's free for the first death, 500 silver for the second, 2000 silver for the third, 4 gold for the fourth, 8 gold for the fifth etc. etc.

You'll earn this achievement the first time you resurrect your Gladiator:
I wouldn't recommend fighting here until your Gladiator's rating is about 90+. I won a few fights at 83 but I also died a few times and lost a lot of coin because of it.

My rating is now 109 and I'm quite comfortably slaying them one by one and earning around 3500 silver and 170 fame each time I win, so this is also a great way to level up.

Once you get into the swing of things, you'll also earn this achievement:

EDIT: Some people are advising that you should dashboard if you're about to lose. DO NOT DO THIS! If you dashboard twice your Gladiator will die and you can do nothing in terms of reviving him.

Okay guys short and sweet way to grind this out.

1. Choose a warrior you are very good with so you win easily against whatever opponent you choose to fight for the small grind.
2. Play in the Mercatus district this way you won't be executed but you can still earn slaughters also if you are slaughtered it shouldn't count as a death the way executions do.
3. DO NOT BOTHER going for executions simply drive the crowd wild with a good fight and slaughter your opponent it is ALOT easier.
