How to unlock the Cutting It Close achievement in Dust An Elysian Tail - Definitive Guide

You can do this at almost any point during the story, but if you do it early on, it's a lot easier to waste your health as you won't have any upgrades and require far less hits to lose your health. Once you encounter the area with the first boss like enemy, allow it to waste your health until it's down to a small red flashing bar. Once you've got to this point, walk up to the enemy, then hold "x" as the enemy tries to attack you. If you time the attack right you will parry and this will unlock. You can do this on any enemy in the game, but the bigger enemies are far easier to time.

I'm not sure doing it early on is the best solution, really. It's a lot easier when you have more health and just go back to an early section. They have no ability to one-hit you, so it gives you some room for error.

Just another note... flashing red doesn't necessarily mean 10%... make sure your health is 10% of your total, or it won't pop.

The way I did it was during the quest, "What's in the Box", when I went to the Glade, I had to die anyways. I was stuck at 1 HP, finally parried someone without killing it instead and it popped.........thought this might be a great way for you guys to kill two birds with one stone, lol

So I did this over 40 times no achievement, was getting frustrated I restarted a new game tried it on the first group of enemies and worked first try... Just letting you know in case anyone has the same problem I did.

I did this in Denham Village along with the Blue Bomber achievement. There where two giants here it worked out for being a higher level. It's in the second tile from the right on the map right above the challenge it's half green and half blue tile. There is a save spot for saving before trying it. Worked perfect. +1, Loaded my other save didn't want to waste food since I'm playing on hardcore. If you want to put this in your solution also for higher levels you could.

You'll play a tutorial for how to parry early in the game. Hold  when an enemy attacks to parry. This prevents any damage that would've been done to you, and also stuns the enemy.

Let a monster hit you until your life is flashing red. Hold  the same time they attack to parry and unlock the achievement.
