Sweeper Achievement / Trophy cheats for Assassin's Creed II

Sweeper Achievement / Trophy

Sweep five guards at once using a Long Weapon to unlock this achievement or trophy, worth 10 gamerpoints or a Bronze trophy.

The first step to unlocking this achievement/trophy is to learn the Sweep skill in the practice field in front of Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni. Speak to the highlighted trainer near the practice field and select �Long Weapons� under the �Special Moves� category. You�ll need 10,000 florins. Practice the Sweep skill three times to add it to your arsenal.

To Sweep, you first need a Long Weapon (i.e., a Halberd or a Spear). Seekers carry Long Weapons.

It�s best to hold off on this achievement/Trophy until you reach Venice in the main story, as Seekers are plentiful in the city. The best place to look for Seekers is near the Torre dell�Orologio -- the restricted area in the San Marco district. Seekers are easy to find there, and there are plenty of guards to sweep as well. Once you�ve located a Seeker, assassinate him with your Hidden Blade and pick up his weapon by tapping the B/Circle button while standing over it.

Assassinating the Seeker will likely get some guards after you. You�ll want to get a large number of guards chasing you before attempting to unlock the achievement. Don�t Sprint, though, because Ezio will release his weapon if you do so. You can move more quickly by holding RT/R2.

Hold X/Square while engaged in combat (locked on a target) to Sweep with the Long Weapon. Keep holding the button until Ezio places the weapon behind his back to get the best coverage. With so many guards after you it can be hard to pull a Sweep off, as the guards tend to interrupt with attacks. Just keep trying, and provided you have enough guards after you, this achievement/trophy should come eventually. If the guards are too far apart, try running a bit ahead; the standard guards move at the same pace, so they tend to bunch up while in pursuit.
