I need my last achievement to complete this game and its one of the easier or should be. I need the "Messer Sandman" achievement. I spent all that time getting the feathers, but I'm missing this achievement. Can somebody please tell what I'm doing wrong. Is it because I am trying to get this at the end of the game?facepalm

Messer Sandman isn't for getting all the feathers.
Assassin's Creed II Messer Sandman The Messer Sandman achievement in Assassin's Creed II worth 14 pointsStun 4 guards at once by throwing sand in their face.

It's fairly simple to do. the top guide for it is pretty good so read it and watch the video.

I had a little trouble with this as well, best advice i can give is irritate a bunch of guards then smoke bomb them, as soon as they are undazed have the sand ready to go and throw it, took me three tries but eventually popped

This is like the achievement to sweep 5 guards at once with a long weapon. You do not have to do it all at once (at least when I got it). I just threw sand at 3 guards, missed the fourth, and then hit the fourth one with sand while the others were still rubbing their eyes, and got the acheevo.
I never said I was not crazy

Also I believe you need to be holding a long weapon to be able to throw sand. Might be mistaken on that though.

I don't think you need to be holding a long weapon mate, i got this one purely by accident whilst surrounded by a bunch of enemies who were kicking the shit out of me. I probably had the short sword equipped because that's all i use most of the time, just chucked some sand to buy myself some breathing space and bleep-boop, the cheevo popped right up for me

I think you have to "learn" this move from the fight trainer in the circle at Monteriggioni before you can use it? I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I learned the move already and I know this isn't the same as the feathers achievement. I'm just annoyed I spent all that time on the feathers to complete this game and i can't get this last achievement.

I checked the wiki, and there is no mention of messer sandman being glitched:
link hidden's_Creed_II_Achievements/Messer_Sandman

I think I had to do it a couple of times to get it to unlock, but I think that was more because of skill. Or lack thereof.
We both said a lot of things you are going to regret.

Check the solution I just posted (it's at the bottom) - it made it a lot easier for me.
Life, it's funny that way.

I tried it with a group of troops over 10. This achievement is just glitching on me. I think I need to play through this game again and relearn the move.

Yeah I did try it a lot and that is the annoying part. I think I probably tried longer than most would because its my last achievement missing from this game. facepalm

Are you doing all four at once or just four in a group?
