  Speed Kill
  Kill 10 generic enemies before they spawn.
  
  What are generic enemies?
  The Hunter, Warrior, Alchemist, and Concubine are not generic enemies. Generic enemies can be found on the borders of the areas containing fertile ground. Press the back button to bring up a map containing the areas where fertile ground can be found. A generic enemy will spawn out of a pillar of black smoke.
  
  The Setup
  Play through the beginning of the game. Clean the first four fertile grounds and collect enough Light Seeds to buy your first ability.
  
  Choosing your Ability
  Abilities are energy plates that you gain access to in order to unlock fertile grounds. I choose red but any ability will work. Once you choose your ability clean a fertile land.
  
  Solution
  Teleport to a cleaned fertile land that is bordered by corrupted lands on both sides. If Reservoir is a clean fertile land then the corrupted lands bordering are Heaven's Stair and Construction Yard; use that as an example and it is the one that I used. Place a save right after you teleport.
  
  The clean fertile land that you chose should have two paths that head toward the corrupted lands. Head down one path and save whenever you reach a platform. The last platform before you reach the corrupted land will have a generic enemy. If you don't get to the enemy in time to speed kill it by pressing x near the pillar of smoke before it spawns, then you should reload your save.
  
  After you speed kill the enemy save and head back the way you came till you get to where you teleported. Follow the opposite path saving on each platform and when you encounter the next generic enemy press x near the pillar of smoke to speed kill it. Save and return back to the teleport spot.
  
  Now use the first path again and the generic enemy will spawn so you can speed kill him again. Keep alternating paths until the achievement pops.
  
  Tips
  This methods goes pretty fast but it is not something you want to include in your playtime while attempting Speed Demon (12 hour playthrough) so create a new save with the intent to not play any further on that save after you have the achievement.
  
  Throw Master (10 enemies thrown into pits) can be done using this same method.

  Worked perfectly on Xbox One back compatible March 2019. I used a different location which had some slightly annoying platforming back and forth, but otherwise ddn't have any issues.

  Definitively buggy to me. I was playing normal and thinking about farm this towards the end of my playthrought and it popped up when I got to do it a fourth or fith time (definetively not 10, not even 6)

  The solution of Ender 7 PL works well.
  Travel back and forth between King's Gate and The Temple, and make a save every single time on the last platform before the downward slope and jump from wall to wall.
  Saving is necessary as you will not always be quick enough to kill the enemy before he spans. When fail to kill the enemy, reload the saved game and try again.
  After 6 or 7 successful kills the achievement will pop.
  
  To save time
  Be sure to walk/run straigth into "pillar of black smoke" and hit the X button.
  If you press the X button before or not close enough to the center of the "pillar of black smoke" the enemy will span and you will have to reload the saved game.

  When running around levels you will see black lights coming out of the ground, these are enemy spawn points if you can get to them quick enough and press X you will kill it before it spawns.

  Highly lacking in the detail that the other solution has in spades. This doesn't deserve to be the highest rated solution here.

  Hello guys!
  
  I think these solutions are overcomplicated, for such an easy achievement. I did this way:
  First you have to clean King's Gate and The Sun Temple area. For Sun Temple you need to have Step of Ormazd power. After that just teleport to Sun Temple (open map and press Y over Sun Temple). Use your map again and select Martyr's Tower and run in that direction until you come to a platform where you see a spawning Soldier. You should be able to kill easily before it spawn.
  Now use your map to teleport back to King's Gate and right after that teleport again to Sun Temple. Head to Martyr's Tower again and kill the Soldier before spawn.
  Repeat the process until kill 10 and achievement pops.

  Play through the beginning of the game. Clean 2-3 Fertile Grounds and collect 60 Light Seeds to acquire teleport ability. It's important to have cleared King's Gate - first ground of the Hunter.
  Now:
  a)Teleport to the Temple, activate any ability, and save.
  b)Teleport back to King's Gate. Take path right and walk to The Sun Temple Fertile Ground. On last platform before slope - save. Jump on the pole, next with Elica power onto the slope, do two wall runs, jump on the pole and quickly on the platform
  Now run for the first generic enemy. If You are fast enough you will be able to speed kill him by pressing X near the pillar of smoke. After successful kill teleport into the Temple, otherwise reload last save.
  c)Repeat previous point nine times and achievement should unlock.
  
  Repeating the process of killing enemy, teleporting to the Temple and teleporting back to the FG next to corrupted should work well with other Fertile Grounds. In my opinion - from the King's Gate there is the quickest way to generic enemy.
