Perform 500 missile or throwing weapon attacks.
I tried 500 with rocks and nothing happened. Does this not include rocks?

Throwing from character .

I tried a wall, with all 4 throwing shuriken, knives, darts and rocks. (I might try 150 more without rocks)

Then I thought it might require hits on a creature so I did 600 with rocks on turtles and zombies. (It does not take as long as I thought it might)

Oddly enough, you also can get the achievement by playing the game with actually throwing rocks or shooting arrows and so to enemies... I garantee it !

Perhaps you need to hit monsters too, not just toss or shoot stuff into thin air.

I did shoot them the second time, and the third I shot them with only one character instead of four. (the first I did more knives and throwing stars at a wall)

Probably a check on the number of creatures/levels, or missile skill, or has to be not rocks and a creature.

Using anything other than rocks would be tedious if you don't want to play a whole game as an archer.

Anyway, hope it saves someone from trying. If you really want it, I would just start a new game and use a bow. The sling shot might work and let you pick up ammo, but I don't think I have any more in me, lol.

Triggered l8r in another game not using many missiles, weird one. Says 2nd of November!, maybe it just took a while to show up.
