How to unlock the This is the Moment achievement in Alan Wake 2 - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires you to dodge, by pressing cn_LB, an enemy’s attack as late as possible. This is best done on taken wolves. I could not get it to unlock on regular taken no matter how many times I tried, but got it with the wolves within the first couple tries.

You will first encounter taken wolves in the story shortly after defeating Nightingale at the very end of Return 2: The Heart.

Video of the attempt the achievement unlocked:
*As you can see in the video, I get damaged by the attack and still unlock the achievement so there is probably some degree of inaccuracy/glitch taking place with this achievement.

I can confirm wolf is the way. I tried on several human enemies with no luck. With the wolves I managed to get it on my first encounter on the 3-4. attempt. Thanks!

I'm confident this is glitched for me after yesterday's play session and won't unlock. I have completed many (30+) successful dodges from wolf attacks, about 10 of them were "perfect" (no damage taken) and nothing. As if the game thought I already have this (which I don't). Hopefully some kinda patch comes along for this bug or this one will be my last achievement I get in AW2 after completing everything else and wiping my save file. :')

The latest patch fixed this achievement! Yesterday I wasn't able to make this pop, today, after installing the patch, the achievement unlocked even before I got to the main menu after starting the game. GG to devs!

Actually found this easier on the big taken in Return 3. Their slower attacks are much easier to read and dodge last second. Literally got it dodging its first swing.

Can confirm as of today that the achievement works with wolves. If you’re struggling to find wolves, I recommended going into the foresty parts of the maps and you should hopefully encounter a wolf. Just keep letting one come at you and keep dodging. It should eventually pop.

I ended up finally getting this after I temporarily gave up on trying. Got it against a normal enemy while exploring the previously flooded area

I got this after they force you to save and go back to cauldron lake. The first enemy that came out of the lake when the music started playing I dodged him and it popped. It was not a wolf I dodged. But I feel like I dodged these same enemies the whole game? I think it pops when it feels like popping.

I have no idea if this actually helped or if it was more of a luck factor... But after 200+ failed attempts of this on wolves, I decided to use "RB" to use the flashlight on the wolf which caused it to rush me after. As soon as it rushed me and I dodged it counted as a perfect dodge for me. 1st try... So either lucky or helpful lol

Just wanted to confirm you CAN get this against a normal "human" taken. But it has to be against their running charge attack. If you are just dodging their close-up swings, it won't unlock.

I got this against the first taken you fight - not Nightengale - the one that bursts through a wall in the visitor center. Run away and try to trigger his running charge attack. If you time it right, he'll miss and fall over, leaving him vulnerable to attack. This will trigger the achievement.

Having a lot of trouble with this one, I can’t even get the wolves to attack me, they just run and stop! Very frustrating
