How to unlock the Big Game Hunter achievement in Tales of Vesperia - Definitive Guide

There are 9 giganto monsters that you must slay across Terca Lumeris. There locations are given below.

Brutal (Level 58) - Location: Peyoccia Plains (on the southern trails, near Deidon Hold)

Medusa Butterfly (Level 45) - Location: Sands of Kogorh (I found it near the South West area, where the sand falls down into a split in the ground)

Hermit Drill (Level 34) - Location: Weasand of Cados

Brucis (Level 62) - Location: Egothor Forest (take a right when you find the save point when going for the second cannon)

Pterobronc (Level 49) - Location: Mt. Termza (will be in a crater on your left when you first enter)

Fenrir (Level 58) - Location: Erealumen Crystaliands

Poseidon (Level 55) - Location: Enduring Shrine of Zaude

Chimera Butterfly (Level 50) - Location: Quoi Woods (Requires Sorcerers Ring lvl. 4)

Griffin (Level 59) - Location: Northeast Yurzorea

The Griffin is the hardest to locate as it is wandering the field. Simply walk around and you'll know it when you see it.

Should note that this isn't 100% mine, I found various tid-bits off the web and compacted them to make this.

Ummm... I've killed all of the monsters and my achievement didn't pop. What the hell kind of crap is this? I've double checked my bestiary several times. I don't know what to do.

Did you get them all in one play through? I've never seen any reports that this is glitched.

Sure did. I took a long break (several months) between playing the game. The first time I played about 3/4 of one playthrough, in which I killed 4 of the giganto monsters. Now that I've started playing the game again, still on playthrough 1, I looked through my monster book to see which monsters I had and hadn't killed. Following the guide above I killed the remaining five, ending with Brucis (who I was able to get the 100-hit combo achievement on). I've looked through my monster book and I have all 9 monsters. I don't know why they would show up if I hadn't killed them. Do I have to use a magic lens on all of them, or just kill them? Does the achievement pop as soon as I defeat the last one, or do I need to beat the game first? This is frustrating.

Nevermind. I went through the list just to see if I somehow missed any. For some reason I had Brutal in my monster book but I hadn't killed him. Problem solved.
