How do you get the banisher achievement?

[VoidAnomaly]

I've tried using the Banish ability on several types of enemies.

[M.T. Fish]

I got it after using it on a red tornado. It works on the mindsuckers, the angler fish, and the piranhas

The achievement description is "Banish 10 threats"

You can also use it on the main threat in Stellar Basin, the birds that steal your fish in the starting area, etc. Basically wait for night, run into one of the whisper mists to get insane, then Banish whatever appears to hit your boat in each area. Coupled with the static threats each area provides, should allow you to get the achievement eventually.

Yeah it didn't have a description until I unlocked it, but I got it eventually.

In case someone hits this page and was still confused like I was about the wording. "Banish 10 threats" means "Banish 10 DIFFERENT threats", so you cant just use banish 10 times on something like a red tornado or lava piranhas. It has to be used on 10 different unique threat types.

I'm not entirely sure this is the case. I used banish on the piranha/mother, the cliffs serpent, the angler fish, the red jellyfish, and maaaybe one or two other things? I could be misremembering, but it didn't feel like 10 unique threats before I got it.

Thanks MajinKoba, that should help a lot. Assuming the little red fish and the big red fish in Devil's Spine are counted as different, I probably have four more types to hit. The Anglerboats keep running away when I approach them with Banisher ready, so I guess I have to find different targets.

Do the disguised 'hermit crab' enemies count as different types?

Not at all. I used mine once on the lava piranha and then spent 9 nights docked at steel point banishing the angler boat that patrols around there and absolutely nothing else in order to pop that one. They don't need to be different enemy types or even enemies in different areas.

Yes, I got this achievement today for Banishing the big tentacle in Devil's Spine for the second time. I must have miscounted and been one short when I stopped playing last night.

[Eight-Six]

I just got it for banishing the ♥♥♥♥ fish in the cliffs, definitely wasn't the first time I've used it on him.

[McFly]

Can confirm, doesn´t have to be 10 different targets.

[Great0ldOne]

I got the Banisher ach by just using the ability on red piranhas, so...

[filmstudy21]

I can't get this achievement to pop. I have probably used the ability 25 times and done so on several different threats.

Is there another rule to make an instance count such as being panicked already or letting the threat hit you once before you banish it?

[Jacq]

Not sure either. I've used it quite a few times (mainly on the piranhas (big and small, before and after they'd hit me), angler boat and cliff serpent and it didn't activate. I wonder if it's because it didn't get used in all areas? (I didn't use it in the mangroves)

[baukereg]

Ugh, this is the last achievement I need and it's driving me nuts. Used it on everything I can think of and yet no result.
