This could be gotten with in the first hour or two of the game. Can be done on ANY difficulty, including Just the Story! (Recommended) Video guides for the quests at the bottom.

First when you get into town and leave the pub go over to the Notice Board and take the Contract: Devil by the Well follow the quest up to the battle. Fight the Noonwraith with ONLY your Silver Sword, DO NOT use an Oil, Potion, Sign, Bomb or Mutagen.

That's 1 down, second is going to be The Griffin in the main quest Beast of the White Orchard . You pick this quest up by following the Main quest Lilac and Gooseberries. Again follow the quest to the part where you meet Vessemir in the field and get the crossbow. I DID NOT USE THE CROSSBOW, I don't think that changes anything but just in case, don't use it. The battle is easy enough. Use ONLY your Silver Sword.

The achievement pops right after you defeat the Griffin.

Edit: You CAN drink water and eat food to heal during the fight
Edit 2: I took out the walkthroughs and added my own person fight recordings to the guide. I started a new save just to record these and from the first cutscene I finished both quests in around 35 minutes. Very easy with starting gear!
Edit 3: Sharpening your weapons WILL NOT void the achievement

Since all other solutions are completely wrong regarding what voids the achievement. The only things that void the achievement are using any of:

- Signs
- Potions
- Mutagenic POTIONS (having mutagens eqipped is totally fine)
- Oils (on ANY of your swords, even though you don't use the oiled sword)
- Bombs

Anything else is completely permitted: Crossbows, any type of armour, sharpening weapons, eating foods etc. If it's not in the above list, it's permitted.

The only other requirement is the contract needs to involve the possibility of ending up in a monster "boss fight" but other solutions cover those parts well.

Immortal x Dead adds: If you have to use a potion as part of the requirement for the contract / kill, it DOES NOT prevent the achievement. F.e "Muire D'Yaeblen" contract on Skellige, which requires the use of the "Drowner pheromones" potion in order to complete.

Wanted to pop in and leave a note that I haven't seen yet. While I did unequip all potions, bombs, mutagens, and didn't use any signs, I think it is important to note that while doing the "Contract: Muire D'Yaeblen contract on Skellige, it requires the use of the "Drowner pheromones" potion. After using it and completing the contract, the achievement did pop. It seems that if you have to use a potion as part of the requirement for the contract / kill, it DOES NOT prevent the achievement. Also, This was done on Death March, and was my 2nd contract done like this.

You need to kill two Monster on which you have a Contract on, only with your Silver Sword. Also check if you have mutagens equipped.

If you haven't done this is White Arden, then the Contract Shrieker (Level 8) and An Elusive Thief (Level 13) in Velen/Novigrad are not that hard - also both Contract have their own Achievement. I did this with Level 11 and the Griffin Witcher Gear, pretty easy.

I got a little confused for the same reason - Muire D'yaeblen *requires* the use of potions to complete the quest... but I still unlocked the achievement after completing it. I drank a White Honey to clear potion effects right before the actual fight, although I'm not sure if that's necessary, but it worked and wasn't too difficult.

No problem with the Shrieker and the Merry Widow, i had a look at Jenny O' The Woods, but clearly that was always going to be a non-starter

Apiarian Phantom hunt is super easy to use for this as well. Used that hunt and the Doppler to do it on Death March, zero problems.
