How to unlock the Smoke Assassin achievement in The Evil Within 2 - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you need the Smoke Bolt 3 upgrade which allows you to sneak kill enemies whilst in the smoke.

Once you have the upgrade, find three enemies in close proximity. I personally got this in New Game Plus on Chapter 3 but Chapter 13 will work as well.

Fire the Smoke Bolt at the floor to proceed with the sneak kills.

Hope this helped.

Certain chapters, even early ones, have mandatory fights and those are excellent opportunities for this achievement, not to mention the upgraded Smoke Bolts allow taking down five to six enemies (no need to enter sneak mode) in a row safely.

Personally I got this achievement on my NG Nightmare play through during Chapter 7

While the solution works perfectly, i found it's easier to just fully upgrade your smoke bolts and just kill 3 enemies, no need to sneak on them. I did that on Chapter 13 on my first playthrough.

Something I discovered on my recent PS4 playthrough: unlike "Kick, Shoot, Burn," this trophy does NOT require you to kill all three enemies within the same smoke cloud. I messed up and only killed two enemies before the cloud dissipated, so a few minutes later I used another smoke bolt on a totally different enemy by himself just in case, and the trophy popped as soon as I killed him. Since I played on PS4, I don't know for sure if this is the case for the Xbox achievement as well, but it seems pretty likely.

Agreeing with TheVampireWaltz, you absolutely do not need to perform all three kills with one bolt.

A very good Place for the Achievement is close to the first collectible in Chapter 12 after you open the first Gate, in the german Video u will see I got the Achievement also with only 2 Kills but will show the correct Spot too :)

I found another way to get this one, I ended up doing it totally by accident. During the boss in chapter 16 when those little spider things were attacking, I shot a couple of smoke bolts at them and just started stomping and killing them while they were stunned and the achievement popped.

During chapter 6 you'll run into Sykes. Shoot a smoke bolt (make sure it is upgraded) and let him kill a few and the achievement will be yours. When I was about to assassinate them Sykes started to blow their heads off. I was like "no don't kill them" but then my Xbox went ding and got the achievement.

Hope this was helpful

You must upgrade your smoke bolts for the Warden Crossbow to at least “smoke bolt 3.” This makes it so that you can perform sneak kills upon enemies within the smoke bolt’s area of effect. Once you’ve upgraded your smoke bolts to “smoke bolt 3,” fire a smoke bolt at an enemy, then come up from behind the enemy and press to perform a sneak kill. Do this two more times and you will unlock the achievement. If you’re quick enough, you might be able to do this by using only one smoke bolt against a group of three enemies.

After you receive the smoke bolt, you will have the opportunity to improve it at the workbench, in the “Guardian” crossbow section. You need to upgrade the crossbow itself to level 2 so that you can upgrade the smoke bolt to upgrade 3 (the smoke screen has a large radius and lasts 12 seconds + opens up the ability to quickly kill enemies under the effect of smoke (highlighted in red)). It is not necessary to kill all three with one use of the smoke bolt.
However, this will help you not only get a trophy, but also in direct battles with many zombies (one such bolt can easily kill a group of 3, and with skill, 4 enemies at a time with a knife), which will save precious ammunition as you progress through the game.

PS The smoke bolt also instantly kills exploding fat people (apparently they are allergic to smoke )

There is NO need to kill 3 at once. It is enough to kill 1 enemy with 3 curtains and the trophy will drop

To kill with smoke bolts, you need to level them up to level 3.
