How to unlock the Counterintuitive achievement in Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - Definitive Guide

Much like the evade attacks achievement, you just need to hit an enemy with 20 counter attacks.

The counter attack has to be purchased in the Trip store first. After that, it is a matter of getting the proper timing.

Block and then press B at the moment the enemy strikes you. If there is only one enemy left and you are ok on health you should be able to easily rack up a few counters just by playing defensively.

This should be easily completable in one playthrough.

If you use a mech with a shield the mech won't die as long a it has it's shield so you'll be able to get it with the one enemy.

You have to purchase the Counter Attack combat upgrade. It's 45,000 tech points. I'd also recommend the Combat Awareness upgrade, purchased for 5,000 tech points.

Once purchased, press B, right as an enemy hits you to perform a Counter Attack. Getting the timing right can be a little tough, but you should get the hang of it after a few tries. You can do this multiple times on one enemy.

This is a video showing the counter timing. This is not my video and I do not take credit for it.

First, you have to purchase the "Counter Attack" upgrade for Monkey. It can be found under the Combat sub-menu of Upgrades.

Next, whenever you're in combat with mechs, hold R2 to have Monkey block, and press Circle right when their attack is blocked to perform a counter attack. You'll know it's done right when Monkey does a sort of flipping move and the mech is stunned.

It takes a bit of practice to get the timing down, but once you have it, performing 20 counter attacks is no problem.

Counter Attack (Combat Upgrade): Press the moment Monkey successfully Blocks an attack.

For this, you will need to purchase the technique for 45,000 Tech Orbs. Once you have it, look for opportunities against the Mechs to use it on. It's hard to get the timing at first, but keep at it and you'll reach the 20 that's required for the trophy to unlock. Remember to press immediately as soon as you block the attack.

A good opportunity I found to do this was during Chapter 3, where you get the Stun Blast you should face 4 enemies. Make use of the covers/blockades in such a way that the Mechs won't go around and chase you but instead stay still. Use this time to practice and perfect your timing.

Requires Counter Attack upgrade. You can easily get this achievement on the very first enemy in Chapter 3. Hold the block as soon as the first blow hit the shield, immediately without letting go press and Monkey hits back

Requires Counter Attack upgrade. You can easily get this achievement on the very first enemy in Chapter 3; when blocking at the very last moment of an enemy's attack, you should press the button to carry out a counterattack. Watch the video
