30G – Kill 75 guards with throwing knives
After acquiring the throwing knives during your training, hold RT/R2 and equip the throwing knives. Then, hold LT/L2 and press RT/R2 to attack them. The closer you are, the more damage the knives will inflict and aiming for headshots improves the odds of them dying.

Additionally, acquiring the Corrode Body (tier 3) makes sneaking into restricted areas a breeze. Simply throw a knife to kill a guard, they will dissolve, retrieve the knife, and repeat.

After acquiring the throwing knives during your training, hold RT/R2 and equip the throwing knives. Then, hold LT/L2, aim at guards’ heads, and press RT/R2 to kill them.

After learning how to use Assassin’s Focus during the main mission, First Order, spend 5 skill points to unlock both levels of Assassin’s Focus Capacity. Next, assassinate guards to build up your focus meter. Wearing the Hidden One Outfit will speed up filling the meter. Then, look for a group of at least 5 guards in a restricted area. While out of combat, approach the guards, press R3 to activate Assassin’s Focus, press RB/R1 to tag 5 enemies, and press A/X to execute the attack.
This can easily be accomplished during the main mission, Den of the Beast, when you first approach the Great Garrison. At the start of the mission, there will be 6 guards in front of the main gate (4 + 1 patrolling outside the mission).

When your notoriety is high, give a Power Favor Token to one of the Munadi to completely lower it. Doing so 3 times will unlock the Spread the News achievement or trophy.
Assassinations
Blade in the Crowd
10G – Assassinate 10 guards while blending with the crowd
Walk into a group of 3 or more people and make sure your silhouette turns white. Then, whistle (D-Pad Right) to lure a guard near you and press RB/R1 to assassinate them after they come as close as they can. Make sure you stand still for a second or two after killing the guard or the assassination won’t count. Assassinate 10 guards using this method and unlock the achievement or trophy. At launch, this appears to be buggy and doesn’t track progression correctly.
Surprise!

While hiding in hay or grass, lure guards to your location with D-Pad Right. Then, press RB/R1 to assassinate them a total of 10 times. This should unlock naturally throughout your playthrough.

Then, run in and finish it off. You will need to finish it off while fighting it in combat to unlock the achievement or trophy. Pair this with the Notorious achievement/trophy.
Notorious
30G – Stay at maximum notoriety for 10 minutes
Reach maximum notoriety by killing guards and performing illegal actions where people can see you. Then, stay alive for 10 minutes, but don’t reset or lower your notoriety by paying Munadi, tearing down posters, or killing Shakiriyya. Once you reach the maximul notoriety, get to safety and hide for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes are up, go ahead and look for a Shakiriyya to also earn The Shadow and the Flame.
Poster Boy
10G – At maximum notoriety, become anonymous by tearing down wanted posters
First, reach maximum notoriety by killing guards and performing illegal actions where people can see you. Once you reach the maximum level, look for wanted posters by using Eagle Vision (D-Pad Left) and looking at your compass for a wanted poster icon. Tear down 3 wanted posters and the achievement or trophy will unlock.
Eagle’s Will
30G – Survive 10 minutes in open conflict
Go to a restricted area and clear out all enemies except 1, preferably an archer. Then, engage the final enemy in combat, but don’t attack them. Either dodge or block all attacks. If you fight an archer, they will use their sword, but cannot deliver unblockable attacks, making it easy to block every attack stunning them for more than half the time. After 10 minutes of blocking/dodging, the achievement or trophy will pop.
