How to unlock the Just a Flicker achievement in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - Definitive Guide
This achievement is the "worse" ending to the game and should be considered missable.
Spoiler free version
After the boss in the Underground Sorcery Lab you are given a shard that allows you to teleport short distances. Use this shard to access the Hall of Termination and defeat the boss here.
This must be done before you progress to the Oriental Sorcery Lab and defeat the boss there. If you do, you will earn the Usurper achievement instead.
You will get a few lines of dialogue followed by a Game Over screen, but not to worry, the game will revert to your last save point.

Just to note, I beat the boss in the Oriental Sorcery Lab and then went to kill Gebel, I got this achievement and Usurper immediately after.

JUST A FLICKER (BAD ENDING 1)
The first bad ending requires the least amount of work. You can reach this point relatively early in the game, but it is a very unsatisfying ending.
Work your way into the castle and get the Craftwork ability from Craftwork in Dian Cecht Cathedral. Open the path through Garden of Silence. Defeat Andrealphus in Livre Ex Machina in to get the Double Jump ability.
Defeat Valac in Tower of Twin Dragons. Collect the Silver Bromide and take it back to Dominique in Arvantville to get your photo taken. Take your photo to Orlok Dracule in Livre Ex Machina to get the Passplate. Take the Passplate to Bridge of Evil and ride the train to Underground Sorcery Lab. Defeat Bathin in Underground Sorcery Lab to get the Reflector Ray ability.
Head to Livre Ex Machina, and use Reflector Ray to reach Hall of Termination. Fight and defeat Gebel at this point to get the first bad ending, Just a Flicker.

The trophy is awarded for getting one of the two bad endings. You can skip it. You need to kill Gebel before receiving Zangetsu's katana (given for the second victory over Zangetsu).

Jibel is located in the Hall of Annihilation , at the very top of the map.

You can get to the battle with Jibel after defeating the boss “Speed Demon” (he is almost immediately after the train), which moves using a beam of light.
From him you will receive this ability to move.
Head to the tower with librarian O.D. and head along narrow or mirrored passages up and to the left.
Take down the dragon along the way, and in the next part of the castle there will be two boss doors - one closed, the other leading to Jibel.
Save first, because after winning the game will end and you will be thrown to the main screen.
