These achievements are easy, you need to kill foes with the right weapon. Just switch to another weapon when you got the achievement. The best way to farm will be to use any Ambush and to leave and re-enter until you get it. I suggest you do that after you get all other achievements first. Playing in an easier difficulty might help for most of us while farming in Ambushes.

That one should be very easy, and I think the best spot will be the bug ambush and I guess they might be killed easily with shurikens.

Since you just need to use the Technique I believe that you need to use it on 100 different enemies meaning that it might not count if you use it the the same enemy.

You might need to touch an enemy for the achievement to count, otherwise what's the point?

I believe you need to do at least a damage for the use to count, maybe the description is misleading and you need to kill foes with it. Some people said that you need to upgrade a Nimpo to level 3 for it to count as a successful use.[/u]

Scarabs are collectible that are found during the game. It is not obvious to track how many you've got. The scarabs displayed on your player menu is only the one you are carrying. When you check on Muramasa's statue or shop they will be displayed there and so the amount you are carrying will reset to zero. So you can check how man,y you got by only checking both the player menu and the shop menu. Also note that there are no Scarab to be found when playing as Rachel as she only cares about hunting Fiends.

引用自 Nymphoides 2：

''Ninja Massacre'' achievement is not bugged you are probably missing Chapter 12 Aquaducts 4B (also known as bug room). You have to clear this room TWICE because first one is not actually fiend challenge you are triggering it because you opened the first chest. After you clear the room go up with elevator then down again. NOW you are actually doing fiend challenge and after you complete it prize chest will be spawn near the previously opened one. Please author add this to the your guide. I think a lot of people including me had trouble with this achievement.

There are 3 Team Ninja Logo to be found, for the first one you will be able to back track later.

Chapter 4
Outside of Han's bar. Across from the bar's entrance is a wall you can run jump up, as indicated by the blue lines. At the top is the Windmill Shuriken (depending on level) and the logo. Make a note of this location since you can return here any time while you're rummaging around the city.

Chapter 11
After fighting the two tanks, you can find it in the corner of the area.

Chapter 18
At the very top (or bottom depending on how you see it) of the Gates to Hell.
