How to unlock the Hail Mary achievement in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - Definitive Guide

If you don't have a hatchet you can pick up one in the shooting range.
Replay Venus Transporthalle District and go forward on the pipes but don't drop down at the end. When you look down to the platform you will see 2 enemies which come out a door and stay outside. Go halfway back up on the pipes and aim above of one the 2 enemies and throw the hatchet.

Worked perfect. Took two throws because the first hit his armor first, but works great!

I would like to add that after you get to the top of the stairs in the video, you can go right. There will be one enemy to take out but once you come around the corner you have an easier line of sight to line an enemy up.

Here is an alternative location.

Downtown Roswell, Replay via enigma terminal.

From start stealth kill the clansman in front of you and take a right into the ally behind the gas station and walk ahead and turn the corner, from here you will see another clansman walk L to R on the pavement on the other side of the street, this is well over 30m, make a save here and toss axes, it may take a couple of attempts to gauge the arc but if you have a few axes you will get a few goes, video below showing successful hit on Mr Pillowcase head

Easiest way to get this achievement is by going to all the way to the end of the riverside district ubercommander kill area. (This commander should be a normal one after you kill the uber), the commander will walk all the way to the end of the pier and you should only be able to see his head, at this point make sure you save and that you are by the car where you pop out of from the bunker and throw those hatchets untilyou kill him and bam.

Did this in the first Manhattan level.

Just before you enter the subway their is a officer walking about.
You have a clear line of site plus the compass with the distance displayed.

Just unlocked this on 7th floor of the Venus Chapter. The second commander is located in a room and he stays put. I saved around the stairwell approaching his position after using stealth in the entire area. You can use the distance locator to tell how far away you are from him. This location is near the end of the chapter. Easy difficulty works well.

Approach the bottom of the stairs with the distance reading 31m, or more. Line up your pistol site above his head and on the ceiling in a straight vertical line above his head. Line up without aiming with the left trigger. Just point the gun with your right or left hand. Then push down on the Default Right melee stick (on Xbox it is the right stick; on PS4-R3 and on PC it is the mouse wheel). You will have to adjust your aim to be sure the hatchet does not bounce off the ceiling but smoothly flies straight to him. You adjust your aim by backing up and/or by lowering the gun reticle. I did not even see the commander on screen when my hatchet hit him. Only saw the ceiling and a handy vertical line in the ceiling/wall above his head. If you do not have an Xbox X, then you might not see the detail. But the lining up the pistol reticle shot straight above his head concept will generally work anywhere.

If you miss, the commander moves forward. I killed him & took the enigma card, then reloaded and tried for the achievement; because he moved toward me and the hatchet hit him under 30 distance.

I think any commander at a 31m distance will work and if there are no alarms, they often stand still. As long as there are no alarms to change their pathing. The commander distance cue prevents guesswork on actual distance.

Good Luck, everyone.

At the beginning of the Manhattan: Harbor district mission (from the enigma machine) you will spawn and see 2 guards in the distance past a couple of arches. They are stationary. Stand back a few feet behind the first arch.

First, line up your crosshairs horizontally so you're right on one of the guards. Then move the crosshairs straight up vertically until you are a decent distance above the guard you are aimed at. Make a save here in case you miss

Let the hatchet fly. If you hit, great. If your vertical aim is a bit off, just reload the save and adjust the height of your throw.

This achievement can be obtained post-story by revisiting the Transporthalle District of Venus. If you are all out of throwing hatchets, you can pick one up at the Shooting Range aboard Eva's Hammer.

Once you are loaded back into the district, move forward on the catwalk and onto the pipes ahead. Continue moving down the pipe, but when you get to the end, do not drop off! Instead, turn right and look down. You should see two Nazi soldiers leaning against the railing on a platform below. Turn around and move up the left pipe until you hit a large conduit jutting up. Now turn back around, take aim, and toss a throwing hatchet at one of the enemies below. The achievement will unlock once the guard has died from the hatchet.

It is very convenient to monitor the meters on the officers; stand 30 meters away and wait for the officer to stop. Before this, unforgettably save. I succeeded on the mission in Manhattan.

The trophy did not fall out at 30 meters, I tried a bunch of options, and it fell out on the last 16th officer at 31 meters!

This can be done on the 16th chief commandant, we make a save in front of him, the location is open, we wait for the officer to approach the edge, and try to hit him (30-33 meters he will be visible), if not in the head, then it will take 2 hits. Here you can make a trophy with a destroyer.

There is another quick option: Manhattan, immediately after leaving the barge, go down from the pier entering on the left, and keeping to the left, go up to the shore. on the right, there will be a lonely Hans walking there and you can knock him out at the very start.
