    I was able to complete this pretty quickly by following the below. I was able to get from 65% to 96% using this method, all on one map.

    Map
    I stuck with the "Briarthorn Cemetery" area in Act 5, mostly because Cemetery = undead, right? I also reloaded the map a few times to get the "Rathma's Gift" bounty, as I think it has the highest chance of spawning undead enemies. I also did one with the "Grave Robert" bounty and it gave good results too.

    I also ensured I checked the corners of the map, as it will always spawn about 5 undead enemies per corner.

    Skills
    For skills, I had "Corpse Explosion" (of course, since it's required) with the "Dead Cold" rune. I toyed around with "Bloody Mess" (increase explosion radius) and "Shrapnel" (explode away from character), but found that the "Dead Cold" rune meant that the undead enemies that hadn't died would freeze meaning they couldn't move.

    I also had "Blood Rush" with the "Molting" rune. This essentially teleports the character away from the enemies but also leaves a body that you can explode. This meant that I didn't need to kill an enemy to get a corpse, I could spawn one myself first.

    As mentioned above, I got about 31% of the achievement progress done just on one map. With a few reloads, you'll be able to get this achievement quite easily by using the methods above.

    Born Again GenThis was the last achievement I had left to get and it was glitched at 99%. So I wiped my local save and cloud save to start completely fresh. After about an hour on a brand new necro I got it to unlock

    xzxPOPPYxzxJust to confirm, wiping the the local AND cloud data will reset this achievement so you can complete 100%. No other method worked for me.

    This is one of a few DLC achievements you can earn, even if you are not playing a Necromancer, although I believe you still need to own the DLC.

    Join a party that has a Necromancer in it. Every kill that they make with their explosions will send your ticker up.

    I have heard rumors you can also obtain this even if you do not own the DLC, but since everybody I have done this achievement with owns the DLC, it is tough to vouch for that!
