	Shmelyoff 27 Feb 2020 14:34 Yeah, this is hardest achievement to figured out strategy in the set imo. Congratulations!
	Dancarnate 28 Feb 2020 21:25 Super frustrating but damn if it wasn't my favorite cheevo of this set. Really fun, great job!
	Hyze 26 Mar 2020 05:25 PQP esse gelo da Sypha
	Hyze 26 Mar 2020 16:54 Achievement mais doido que eu j fiz
	Whithbrin 24 Apr 2020 21:33 I couldn't resist recording my successful attempt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSjZ94tO76EI don't know if it's allowed that I post it here since figuring out the strategy was half the challenge... if not, let me know and I'll take it down.

	Billnyhilist 15 Sep 2020 04:46 PROTIP: whatever you do, do not leave trevor last
	DaniellMSouza 4 Jan 2021 17:17 This took me hours!
	AntonioFNN 17 Jul 2021 05:16 Okay, that was hard!
	iamnotokay 2 Aug 2021 01:51 take care of trevor first, i was trying to kill grant first until i saw a youtube video that helped me figure out killing trevor first is the best strategy, otherwise is almost impossible, just search for the name of the achievement
	Glendaal 19 Aug 2021 02:31 I killed Sypha first, then Trevor, and Grant last. Once you get rid of Sypha without getting hit then you've done the hardest part
	MustadioB 22 Aug 2021 01:43 This one!!!!! Is freaking hard!!!!! worth the effort.Master the slide attack, first sypha, then trevor and last with uppercut, grant
	ChocoMilk 25 Sep 2021 03:05 Excellent achievement, a great test of both planning and execution. My tip is: master the blade dash, especially in the air. It's your best friend. I never used the uppercut or slide kick. Final order was Sypha -> Trevor -> Grant
	TindalosKeeper 17 Nov 2021 22:02 Final order was Trevor - Sypha - Grant.Strange, huh? If you know how to Blade Rush properly, you can hit Trevor as many times as needed and make him retreat to a wall... Of course, you need to move away before Grant drops a knife on you and make sure Sypha is away from you to continue your Blade Rushing. Once Trevor was dead, Sypha and Grant are piece of cake. Be mindful that Grant will throw knives at you, which you have to jump. You cannot crouch to avoid them. Good luck.
	timenoe 27 Nov 2021 22:21 Holy moly...this has been the most challenging, but also most enjoyable and rewarding achievement in the set so far. What worked for me was killing Sypha first before I even touched the ground by chaining Blade Dashes and jumps together to maintain height. Then, I would bait attacks from Trevor and get him with a Blade Dash during his attack animation. Once Sypha and Trevor are out of the way, Grant is straight fodder.
	timenoe 27 Nov 2021 22:26 Took me a solid 4 hours...wish I recorded, but I'm playing this on my PS Classic.

	Debelzak 29 Jan 2022 06:44 Master Double Blade Dash (front and back), with that you can kill sypha within 10sec. Use save states in order to practice, then re-enable hardcore mode when you think you're ready.
	Jazmataz 21 May 2022 00:24 That was insane. Without the Air Blades this Fight is nearly impossible. https://youtu.be/5cbn2nT28JE
	AnTiHrIsTiS 19 Jul 2022 07:16 Oh god I'm glad they can be killed without Air Dash otherwise it would be the end
