Filling in the Blanks

Revisit a location.

This can be obtained upon reaching the Vatican : if you open your journal, you'll have access to a map of all the major visited locations in Travels. From there, you can teleport to any other areas you've unlocked by selecting a location and holding "R" (Revisit button). Doing so will grant the achievement.

Tuned In

In Gizeh, you can find radio frequencies : there are four, scattered in Nazi camps. Upon collecting them, bring them to Gina - then, find the remaining radio frequencies in Sukhothai before being granted the achievement.

Repatriation

Return all Lost Artifacts.

There are many, MANY lost artifacts in this game. Scattered all across the multiple regions of the game, it'll take you a lot of time to get. Upon getting all of them, you should get the achievement.

Shadows out of Time

Collected all the Ancient Relics.

Combat

Area : Vatican, Gizeh

Tour de Force

Defeat all boxing champions.

In the Vatican, there is a boxing ring that requires you to have an uniform (its location is marked on your map). Once you've got the uniform, you can enter the ring upon equiping it - once inside, you'll be able to fight various opponents. This can be somewhat challenging, so be sure to upgrade your character and master the controls as to avoid the enemy's attacks - I recommend aiming for the legs (look towards the floor as you're hitting), as that'll stun the enemy and allow you to win the fight easily. After that, you must also combat boxing champions in the Gizeh boxing ring and in Sukhothai's boxing ring.

Area : Any

The Right Note

Clobbered an enemy with a guitar.

Guitars can be found all across the map - just pick one up and hit the enemy with it.

Pest Control

Hit an enemy with a fly swatter.

Same as The Right Note : fly swatters seem a bit less common, but you'll eventually find one if you search well. Once you have one, hit an enemy and the achievement will unlock.

Apple of Discord

An enemy was hit with an apple.

Press "3" to equip your healing items (or equip them through the TAB key) and select the "fruit" item. If you've collected an apple, you just have to throw it on an enemy (right click then left click). Apples are very easy to find all across the map, often on tables.

A Little Tumble

Pushed an enemy off a ledge.

This can easily be done in the Vatican, when you're in elevated areas : simply press "R" (push button) in front of an enemy until he falls off. This can also be completed by holding "F" (whip button), pulling the enemy towards you, if he is on an elevated area and you are below. He'll fall off and you'll unlock the achievement.

Your Own Medicine

Disarmed an enemy with the whip and used the weapon to knock him out.

Using your whip ("F" key), unarm someone who is holding a weapon and pick up before knocking him down. This will grant you the achievement.

Offensive Defense

Knocked out an enemy using only counters.

A Slippery Customer

Dodged a power punch.

There are two type of ennemies : 'small ones' and 'big ones' : find a 'big enemy' and, when they attack you with their two hands, dodge backwards and this should grant you the achievement.
