How to unlock the The Professional achievement in Styx: Shards of Darkness - Definitive Guide
In case you are not sure if you missed a guard/ enemy just press up on the D-Pad to make Styx whistle and alert all enemies in a certain range. You can then see their"alertmeter" pop up as white/ yellow or red circle, (depending on their state of alertness) allowing you to locate them.
Cheevo pops once you leave the area. (To be 100% sure save before entering the balloon so if the cheevo doesn't pop you can reload from this point and search for the guard you missed.)
If there is anything to improve on this solution pls let me know in the comments.
By the end you should have 31 kills.
You could do this in any zone you please but obviously the Prologue is the first and easiest place to do this. Rid an entire zone (not an entire mission) of all enemies and this trophy will unlock during the zone transition or mission completion screen.
The Prologue mission only has one zone and within are 31 enemies.

- 1: The lower level of the tavern has one guard near the Guards' pay.

This achievement is best done in the Prologue since there are only about thirty enemies in total to kill. The manner in which you kill the enemies in the mission does not matter, but it's recommended to take them out quietly so that you don't get spotted and killed numerous times. Remember, you can whistle () in order to lure enemies towards your position.
It shouldn't be too hard to kill all the enemies in this mission since there aren't many areas that you wouldn't already be traveling through for the objectives at hand. As a failsafe, though, you can create a manual save before exiting the mission so that if the achievement does not unlock at the post-mission stat screen, you can reload your save and backtrack to find any enemies you may have overlooked.
