How to unlock the Bug Squasher achievement

This is kinda glitchy. You have to make sure you grab all of the white orbs after killing the spiders. What I did was got back to the areas that i fought spiders & look around. For me I was missing one orb in the clock area. After picking it up the achievement unlocked.

@cosminiion yes I did that this morning every time I start a new game on my 3rd 4th 5th attempt I deleted save everywhere before starting new game and there were a few times with the spiders If i wasnt confident of
i either used quickload or restart level by the time I got to the last area where the 3+6 spawned I was 100 percent confident I killed all spiders first time and collected all orbs of them

@lucylu1983 Well... the only other things I can think of I did in particular in my successful attempt are: 1. I killed 3 spiders during the very first boss encounter musical; 2. I killed at least 10 spiders during the second boss encounter where you can attack the boss; I deliberately held off from attacking the boss to let more spiders drop in (they respawn infinitely).
I also killed those spiders without letting them flip back over.
Those spiders don't drop white orbs, so they shouldn't really count, but who knows...
And don't use Quickload, only Restart Level. You can exit and re-enter an area to make a new save point for the Restart Level option.

Another note: After I figured out the achievement tracker percentage goes up in 27 increments, in my very first playthrough I kept track of the percentage after each encounter. The percentage increased as expected after every encounter until the last one (the ambush 3+6) where I couldn't keep exact track of the percentage after taking out each spider. Before that encounter my percentage was at 59% which matches up with 16 spiders killed (100/27*16 = 59.(259)). After I finished the ambush fight, killing all 9 spiders I ended up with 96%, counting for 26 increments somehow (100/27*26 = 96.(296)). So surely something weird happens in the final ambush encounter with 9 spiders.

What I cannot understand is where the two other increments come from... there are only 25 spiders that count, but the achievement tracker percentage has 27 increments... and somehow it does unlock in certain circumstances.

This may not be the case for everyone, but for some it appears that the trigger for this achievement is not killing all the spiders, but instead collecting all the experience orbs from killing them.

Thanks to Riffai for the advice on how to unlock this.
