After attempting the nikolai version I found he Just wasn't doing it . So I picked hard difficulty and the douglas fight 4-1 . Just use the same method which is lock on and circle whilst blocking his throw is much easier to read he opens his arms out then dives for you . You
then let go of block and press b . One fight against him and hey presto . I have 1000gs the game and had great fun doing so any questions just hit me up .

Why bother with hard? He attempts to grab just as much on easy.

Cool that's easier then sorry only tried it on hard

I have a questoin about another achievement. How do you counter in this game? I'm trying for Duels of the Anarchy, but I don't know how to counter.

HI there I had to have a refresh on this as not played it in a while . Ill be honest this came in natural play for me its literally attacking someone mid attack themselves . I think mine came against the first major jack boss the rhino on hard playthrough . Sorry cant help a great deal on that one

No video.
Poor formatting.
Still upvoting.

Because Douglas is a far, far, far easier read for his throws. He literally starts out at midrange, opens his arms like he's going to give you a big bear huge and charges at you. Nickolai's tell is much shorter and a harder read. Spent ages against Nickolai in White 4-1 and Jack in White Red 1. Got this done in under five minutes and within three revives against Douglas.

Theoretically you could do this against any "large" character such as Douglas, Gargoyle or Big Bull. A "large" character is one who grabs two enemies at a time when he throws.

hi there sorry if I have no video don't have the means. Also im rubbish at English lol so apologies for that never been a strong point of mine .

Best solution. Did this on Easy, took me 5 minutes tops, only died once and even missed a few throw counters. Douglas' throws are a super easy read.

Negative vote, sorry.

The Douglas fight is White Side stage 4-2 (not 4-1) and evading throws is not half as simple as you make it out to be. Easier to obtain on easy than hard. Got it eventually.

In order to evade a throw you have to press B almost when you're being grabbed. The real problem here is that most of the enemys don´t grab frequently.

I tried it with Nikolai in 4-1 White Side on Normal but that didn´t pay off. I replayed Red Side with Leo against Jack on Hard several times because he´s way more aggresive and tends to grab you after you block his standard attacks.

IMPORTANT: After you have blocked your opponent's attacks and he's about to grab you (learn the grab animation in Training Mode), RELEASE RT/RB and mash B. I kept holding RT and pressed B but I couldn´t break a single throw before I tried it in Training Mode.

In order to succesfully evade a throw you have to RELEASE the block button and mash B. I haven't read this in any guide so far but it can save you precious time and some nerves. When I realized this it was a matter of around 3 minutes.

Thanks a lot with the tip regarding releasing block before trying to counter the throw. I couldn't get it to work at all because I kept doing that.

Much appreciated, thank you!

This is probably the trickiest trophy in the game. You can break a throw by hitting right as a boss NPC grabs you. The best way to farm this is by going into Stage Select on Normal (you can try Hard if you like to make them even more aggressive, but it's trickier to survive) in any fight that's 1v1 against a larger character (such as Big Bull, Nikolai, or Max), holding to block, and circling them at close range. Dodge their Killer Weapon attacks, and wait for them to try to throw you. When they do try to throw, quickly release (THIS IS IMPORTANT! If you are holding , you can't break the throw!) and mash . If done right you'll shrug off their throw. If it enters the grab animation, you were too slow.

Good levels for this are White Side 4-1 vs Nikolai or either side Red Side vs Max.

This is one of the more frustrating and annoying achievements in this game. This requires you to press almost immediately as you are grabbed. The problem is that enemies do not grab very frequently. The best way to unlock this is by playing White Side 4-1 where you fight Nikolai. Constantly circle around him until he grabs you, then quickly press . Do this 5 times to unlock this achievement. You can watch me unlock it here:

This guide was translated automatically.

The easiest way to get the trophy is in battles against big bosses, for example, Max , Nikolai , Big Bull , etc.
The best place is the battle with Douglas in mission 4-2 for White Side , where the trophy can be knocked out in a few minutes.
Select the Hard difficulty level and during the battle try to run away from the boss as far as possible. When he spreads his arms to the side, get ready to press

to dodge the throw. Due to the distance between you and the boss, you will have plenty of time to do this.
