One good spot for this is the Esohandsum Camp (Tyre), use Asterix and a magic potion, try to gather as many as Romans as possible around you, and hold LB + Y.

Seeing stars
Throw 100 Romans
Simply hold LB + A.
Pro Bowler
Throw a Roman and hit 10 enemies
A good spot for this one is during Chapter 4 - Newvolum Camp. There is a bridge with 2 rows of perfectly-aligned Romans.

Get a load of this barrel
Defeat 10 Romans with a barrel of powder
Should pop naturally during Chapter 2.
Don’t miss!
Make a Roman hit a target
You can find targets in Roman camps. Hide behind one while a Roman archer tries to hit you.
If his arrow hits the target you'll get the achievement.
Handball pro
Throw one Roman back and forth 5 times with another player
This trophy has to be done in co-op. You need at least a second controller. Another player is not required, you can do this trophy by yourself.

Now find an open area and kill all romans except one (preferably a simple lance roman as they are not very aggressive). Now line up Asterix and Obelix so they are facing each other. Make sure the roman is attacking one of the two. Now hold down LB with BOTH controllers and begin mashing A while holding LB with both characters. If done correctly the character who is attacked will pick up the roman and throw it to the other character, who will pick up the roman and throw him back to the first character.

The roman has to fly back AND forth 5 times, so he has to fly a total of 10 times to unlock the trophy. The roman must not touch the ground while doing this, or the counter will reset and you have to start again.

Make sure to have your energy bar charged as this move will cost energy and if you run out of energy you will no longer be able to continue performing the move.

@alienM I don't think it will work unfortunately. If it does, please let me know, and I'll update this guide accordingly

I see we can change difficulty in middle of gameplay, so I though if I play whole game on easy and right before end I change on difficult mode, can I get on that way "Gaulish Hero" achievement? :beatmeat:
