    If this info still doesn't help, send me a message over live and we can try to hook up. I have been able to help several friends get the achievement & I would be more than glad to help the next time that I'm on.

    Its all about the rhythm of you strikes. You don't have to do it in battle so go off somewhere away from people and try it out. Bower Lake has lots of open space to try it out in.

    Basically when you swing the sword (personally i just use a longsword or katana) think about the rhythm in your head or even say it out loud:
    ONE and TWO and THREE and FOUR etc.

    if you watch your character closely you'll see that after each swing he or she will sort of jolt, if you manage to time it like that you'll get a blue trail following your sword and that's when you'll get the achievement.

    just bear in mind the rhythmic tapping of the attack button:

    ONE and TWO and THREE and FOUR and... etc.

    You guys don't get what i'm saying!

    I've been on that thread and read the tips and tryed them all out, i've searched on google and it told me to demote my speed down to 3 which i did and used every melee weapons i had and nothing so i raised it back to five and used every weapon i had and nothing!

    I've tryed the rhythme and got 26 blue trails in a row and no achievement!

    It's really frustrating!

    What?

    You mean the *guitar from the knothole island box of secrets?*or the actual lute expresssion?

    Cause if it's the expression you're most likely lieing and it's not the weapons i'm on about i can get about 20-30 chain attacks in a row it's the fact i don't get ther achievement!

    Re: The Duelist, I Need HELP!!!!!

    1.) Synch (Each swing should be either the same as the previous or getting faster.)

    2.) Speed (You need to be pretty fast to get this, just seeing blue doesn't mean you're doing it right.)

    3.) Correction (Be sure to swing right when you blade reaches about 75% or less if possible through its full swing.)

    4.) Estimation (You should get the Achievement on the 5-8 swing, sometimes it can vary up to 9-15)

    If you don't get the Achievement by your 15th swing you should probably stop and restart your attempt. Be sure to be well executing, I usually reccommend the same style as using Combo Attacks in Assassin's Creed if you've ever played the game, it stands as a G o o d [Good] example of how to get the Achievement. Since I was playing both games at the same time, I got my Achievement on the 5th swing with no problem, didn't even know it because I was in the middle of a battle, the Assassin's Creed layout just seemed to come manually after playing it and going right into Fable II.
