At the start of Deliverance, drop straight forward and follow the two guards towards the wooden balcony on the right. Wait for them to pass/leave it, then walk onto the balcony and climb up the hooks on its left side. Jump on to another wooden balcony up above where there are two more guards. Kill them, then enter the room and grab a knife from the table on the left, and turn right out of the room to a set of stairs with a patrolling guard *Save here when the guard is on the right hand side*. Throw the knife at the guard, then go down the stairs, pick up a second knife and throw it at the sleeping guard next to you, then re-load.

A throwing knife is an equipment item that can be found in your hideout, on guards or sometimes lying around in a mission. With no skill upgrades, you are limited to only carry two at a time.

You do not start the game with any throwing knives and if you don't see any in your equipment list, then you are not currently carrying any. To use one, select a throwing knife as your equipment item and go near any enemy in the game. A small, white reticule will appear when you are close enough to the enemy. Press to throw the knife. The trophy will immediately pop on the 40th kill. Any successful throwing knife kill is immediately saved and counted in your game data. If you die or simply restart, then it is still counted. For efficiency you should wait until you beat the game before going for this trophy as you may get it without evening trying. However, if you wish to farm the trophy then while you are in a mission, look for a guard or location that has 1 or 2 throwing knives available with 3 or 4 guards nearby. The reason for this is you can only carry two at a time, but if you have 1-2 in front of you that you can pick up then you could do 3-4 throws per game reload. Save your game, get your 3 or 4 kills then reload your save.

If you have enough skill points, these skills also will make this easier:

  • Agility - Elite Thrower (doubles throwing distance).
  • Equipment - Master Cutler (can carry 3 throwing knifes).

Throwing knives will be introduced to you early on during the introduction mission. They are an essential piece of equipment for Styx, though unfortunately, you can only hold two at a time, they cannot retrieved from dead bodies, and they aren't commonly found throughout the zones of a mission.

In order to equip a throwing knife, scroll through your inventory using the d-pad until you reach the knife icon. With throwing knives equip, enemies will automatically be targeted with a white crosshair if you are aiming Styx's gaze in their general direction. All you have to do is tap to throw the knife!

Fortunately, there is a great skill that increases your carrying capacity by one knife and another skill that allows you to throw knives at a further distance. It would be wise to invest in these during your time at the hideout. As a cumulative achievement, this will come naturally as you kill enemy guards with throwing knives over the course of your playthrough.
