    This strategy was discovered by Multitasking on ps3trophies.org.

    If you do not want to play through the entire game again on Nightmare or find it too frustrating, you can "cheat" the achievement assuming you have completed the game once already.

    Start a New Game + on Nightmare and exit out after the first autosave.
    Go to Chapter Select, select the final part of Chapter 1 and complete it.
    Play through the beginning of Chapter 2 until the first autosave.
    Go to Chapter Select, select the final part of Chapter 2 and complete it.

    Repeat the above for every chapter.

    I am playing through the game normally on Nightmare so I can't verify, but you likely don't even need to fight the final boss as "The End" checkpoint places you after the fight.

    This is a much easier way to get the achievement, but the game is enjoyable enough it's worth another playthrough unless you find this difficulty frustrating.

    f you have the weapon and dresses DLC - equip Fleshmaiden. This will let you use Hysteria at anytime. Once you get into a battle activate it and hack away. As stated above, your weapon upgrades carry over as well; with the added power of the DLC weapons, it's fairly easy.

    ***game mechanics spoiler***

    Just a little hint before you attempt this, as it gets tricky later on, beat normal first, you get all your weapons all your upgrades and all your dresses for the next playthrough. Sweet deal eh? it gets better. The dresses you've unlocked now have bonus abilities, for example, the default dress now heals you when you shrink, hardly a bonus to sneeze at! Other than that this plays just like every other difficulty, you just take more damage. Have fun!
