How to unlock the Scene Stealer achievement in Child of Light - Definitive Guide
That being said, you will no doubt get 3 over the course of the your playthrough. In fact, i got it with the first 3 enemies you can face in the game. When an enemy is turned the opposite direction, you can walk into them to initiate a surprise attack. If a enemy is facing you, or running towards you there is ways to still get a surprise attack. You can use the RS button to control Igniculus and 'stun' them with the Left trigger. You can jump over alot of the ground enemies and attack them from behind, thus still getting it. Even without Igniculus, you can just jump over the enemy if it is charging at you and strike quickly before it turns around.
Honestly, it's dead simple and you WILL pull off 3 of these throughout the game at some stage.
Shortly after meeting Igniculus, and obtaining a magical sword, you'll begin encountering enemies on your travels. One feature Igniculus holds is his ability to blind and stun, using R2, to set up preemptive "Surprise Strikes". Blinding an enemy, and/or approaching them, FROM BEHIND, will initiate a 'Surprise Strike' battle.
After performing this 3 times you'll unlock the trophy!
Surprise attacks are initiated by first controlling Igniculus with the right control stick. Hover near an enemy and hold the left trigger until a light stuns the enemy. Now engage the enemy with Aurora to get the advantage at the beginning of the battle. Repeat two more times.

And remember to do it throughout the whole game, it's helpful :)
Surprise strikes are initiated when you engage an enemy from behind, like a pre-emptive attack. Move Igniculus over an enemy and hold to make him shine, this will cause enemies to become inactive and give you a chance to move behind them and start the battle that way. Do this a total of 3 times and the trophy is yours.
