How to unlock the Counterstrike Artist achievement in El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Definitive Guide

Pretty simple, you have to block an enemies attack the second right before it lands. You'll know you did it cause of the bright light the collision causes.

You block with the RB button & this can be done on the same enemy.

Hope this helps.

Does it have to be physical attacks? I blocked LOTS of ranged attacks in chapter 2 yesterday, but no achievement so far.

It DOES NOT have to be melee attacks, although I couldn't get it to unlock on the Sarge battle, either. I singled out 2 regular, Gale-weilding enemies at the end of Chapter 2 & it worked like a charm, projectiles and all.

I did at the end of Chapter 4, during the boss fight.
When it spams you with bats, wait until the first one comes up from the ground and keep pressing the block button. You'll get like 20 perfect guards. It goes very quick.

This was the best spot to get this achievement for me.

I could never seem to get the timing right...am I supposed to hit the block button as rapidly as possible, or more steady presses?

As I remember, it was as quick as possible. When the first block passes, the rest follows.

You have to block melee attacks. If you thought that you can farm blocks from silversarge and goldensarge you are going to be disappointed as I am. So the easiest way to get this is jumping into the special armor to prevent any kind of damage you might take from missed blocks and either play chapter 1 or 3 and find yourself one of the crawling enemies and farm blocks with them.

Perfect Guards are achieved by hitting Guard ( by default) just before an enemy's attack lands, causing them to stagger and giving you an opening during which to attack. Utilize this tactic most often when confronting single, easy-to-read enemies and focus deliberately on using it, and in time you will unlock this trophy. Enemies utilizing the Gale are well-suited for racking up multiple Perfect Guards.
