    I know i'm a bit late to the party, but I found what I think is the easiest and fastest method (~10 minutes give or take).

    Head to Verina Mart in Ravatogh. It is an outpost in the Cleigne Region, located at the bottom left of the map in Lucis and off by itself in what looks like a lasso when looking at the map.

    Accept the "Verinas Mart Under Threat" from the man at the Food Stand, and head to the location where the hunt is. Simply walk up by the Wyverns and warp-strike one from a distance, where more often than not, you'll knock them over and give you a chance to start the chain by warp-striking again.

    If the warp-strike doesn't work the first time, just run outside the red ring to end the battle and immediately warp strike again. Because there is only 6 enemies at this hunt, you'll have to head back and start up the Hunt again when you're done, but it's minor for how fast this method is.

    Guds SkyfallIs this one necessary to complete the game here on TR? It wasn’t a part of the initial game but is still listed as non-DLC. Strangely enough the achievement for defeating the snake demon doesn’t seem to be listed among the standard achievements.

    Dystopia95If anyone else is late to the party and here looking for solutions because it isn't popping, I thought I would just write an update to say that this has taken me a solid 24+ hours of gameplay for it to actually unlock -- I must have done it about 50 times and then it finally worked. Just keep going and hopefully it'll pop eventually, just seems a bit buggy for some reason!

    This achievement can be a little tricky in terms of creating the correct criteria for the Cross Chain to occur. Essentially, you need to put an enemy in a state of 'vulnerable' and then allow the red arrow to appear above them as well as the 10 sec timer bar which appears at top of the screen. Once this occurs warpstrike to the 'vulnerable' enemy using cn_Y and then complete the following quicktime event using cn_B in time with the on-screen prompts.

    I found the easiest enemies to achieve this with were the Garulas (Lvl 10 and over) and Magitek Assassins (Lvl 47 I think) around the campsite near the Chocobo Farm. Make sure you equip the weakest weapons so not to kill the enemies too quickly. Don't worry about killing the enemy with the warpstrike that initiates the Cross Chain as they won't take damage from it until the quicktime event if finished.

    For the Garulas, simply warpstrike one from a distance without alerting it prior to the attack. If you're lucky you should get the prompt for the Cross Chain, if not simply warp out of the fight area and let the Garula heal before trying again. For the Magitek Assassins, Gladio will usually hit a group of them in one strike putting a few of them into 'vulnerable' state allowing you to complete the Cross Chain on one of them. Just like the Garulas, if it is not successful, just warp away, let them heal and then try again.

    ZSquared8080I'll +1 the Melusine approach. I wasn't paying attention and had my colleagues with their weakest weapons, while Noctis was maxed out with Mage Mashers. In one fight, you'll easily get 10 opportunities to block and parry her rush attack, then execute the cross chain. Pair this with the Melusine guide's recommendation to wear the Magitek Exosuits, and you can easily knock out two achievements at once.

    I struggled to get the timing right the first 3-4 times -- I'd say, after the warp strike, slow down and don't button mash. You get plenty of time to hit the B button with each prompt.

    Sons O LibertyMelusine 100% the way to go. I had not played in SO LONG I thought RT was lock on and kept warp striking to rocks and was wth. Then I figured out RB was lock on and felt dumb. I easily got 10 and she wasn't even close to being dead with most powerful weapons.

    The Ring Of The Lucii kills her in 2 go's anyhow :)

    Senseless OgreDoes this not work with Aranea? I've tried for 3 hours now and followed every tip possible and can't even get the cross link prompt to occur at all.

    EDIT: Removed Aranea in a backup save and it worked perfectly. It seems Aranea does in fact prevent this from occurring.
