    Seems to be a whole load of confusion regards this achievement but it's quite simple when you understand what's going on.

    Level 1 summoning spell will work fine,all leveling it up does is increase it's duration before it will despawn.

    When you first get the spell you will summon a wasp which is the lowest enemy in the game.

    How the spell works is when the wasp lands the killing blow on an enemy that is higher than it your summon then becomes that creature your spell will never downgrade.

    So Wasp kills Bandit in Great Woods Entrance you now have a Bandit summon, Bandit kills Balverine in Darkwoods you now summon a Balverine. If you watch when your creature kills a higher level enemy it instantly morphs into the new summon and that's what pops the achievement.

    All that needs establishing now is what is the lowest creature you can kill to pop the achievement. I personally had my bandit kill a minion but they are near the end game. In the other solutions comments it does mention someone getting it from a Balverine so as early as Dark Wood could be a possibility or it might have been a Balverine from later on in Knothole Glade.

    Received a number of confirmations now that you need to upgrade it to a Balverine.

    Hope this helps.

    Edit:- I've looked into the spell a bit further in old guides & found this http://fable.wikia.com/wiki/Summon

    Observed sequence of upgrades: Wasp(starting creature)->Stronger Wasps/Insects->Bandits->Undead->Bandit Chief->Stronger Bandits->Stronger Undead->Balverines->Stronger Bandit Chief->White Balverine->Minion Warrior->Minion Spellcaster(strongest)

    Edit 2:- Important: Blue beetles have issues attacking an enemy for you and you may be stuck with it.

    PaoMawoddly enough, i got this to pop just by having my summon be one of the stronger bandits in witchwood. got this achievement after completing the main storyline if it matters

    YerDaaSellsAvonGot this by killing a bandit in Twinblade's Camp with the wasp, then getting that bandit to kill an elite bandit in the Twinblade's Elite Camp, then finally getting that to kill a bandit assassin.

    HurriedPie69297I used a wasp to kill a bandit, during the quest where you have to escort 2 traders to camp you will encounter your first balverines. I let my bandit kill a balverine and the achievement popped. Simply block its attack and hit it once first so it dies quiker

    Here is how i did it and i think it's the fastest way to get it done.

    First go to the hero's guild, get sumonner level 1 and go in the cullis gate. Now teleport to barrow fields and head to dark weir. When the loading is done, you will have a balverine in front of you. Just hit the balverine until it's almost dead and spawn your wasp and let it kill the balverine.

    Achievement unlocked !

    If you kill the balverine instead of your wasp, just go back to barrow field and back to darkwood weir to spawn again the balverine.

    NathanD12360There weren't any at Darkwood Weir for me but I went to Witchwood Stones and they were there! 4 hits with my Fireball and then let the wasp do the rest whilst I stood and blocked attacks from 2 of them. Easy! Nice guide!

    This'll pop as soon as you are able to summon a Balverine. You only need the level one spell so start by summoning a wasp. Use your Wasp to get the killing blow on a higher level creature e.g a Hobbe. You'll notice your summoned creature is now a Hobbe. Keep killing higher level enemies in this way, using your current summon to kill a tougher creature, and work your way up to killing a Balverine, at which point it should pop the achievement.
    I went Wasp - Hobbe - Bandit - Bandit Boss - Balverine.

    Bleach XBAAll in one spell use or can you be in say greatwood and have the bee kill a bandit but then your creature dies, then go to witchwood and so on? Is this right?

    markhamfistsI went from wasp to bandit and later when I was attacked by an assassin I killed him with my summon and my achievement popped for me :) it was easier than the balverine
