How to unlock the Star Athlete achievement in Hyper Light Drifter - Definitive Guide

Drifters is simly a match of soccer to ten goals against one owl looking opponent. It can be found below a barricade in the south of town (blocked off at first - need to complete north and west worlds to gain access).

This can be a bit of a pain at first, it took me a good few tries and each attempt takes a bit of time. You can use both your sword and dash attacks to hit the ball. My only real advice is to play defensively for the majority of the match. The owl will eventually retreat to his goal once he pushes the ball forward enough towards your goal. While he's retreating, use your dash to hit the ball and hope it goes in. If not, either take a chance and rush it with your sword attack or stay back until the owl comes out again. Patience is the key to this.

You can also use your guns to hit the ball. I was able to get a few goals on him using the pistol to shoot it in from a safe distance where he can't tackle you

For me the charged attack worked wonders. Try distance shots from the middle, sometimes you get an ace, other turns I needed to hit some consecutive charges to get the ball in. Found this far easier than dashing.

I went 7 unanswered goals in my 1st game doing this !!!!! The trick is to aim using the left stick. Before letting go of X have the left stick at 10 or 8 o'clock. Shot goes in the corner of goal nearly every time

The soccer mini-game is found in the southwest section of town next to the gun shop. It is behind two barriers which will lower when you beat the bosses from the corresponding zones, West and North.

Once you complete those zones, you can head into the next area and play a game of soccer against a really small, fast opponent. He will knock you down if you get too close, so it's best to play defense and stop him from scoring, then counter-attack. I could not really find a great way to score until I bought the charge attack for the sword. This allows you to hold and use a big windmill swing, which will send the ball flying. I was even able to score directly from the midline after a previous goal a few times by angling my shot to the top or bottom of the goal. Sometimes he tries to stop it and it knocks him over and goes in the goal anyway as well. I also found using the shotgun helped if the ball was past the opponent, but not quite with enough speed to score, you could shoot it the rest of the way.

The video below shows a win. It takes him about halfway through the video to figure out the heavy attack strategy I used, but he starts scoring more consistently once he uses it.

Knocked it out in a couple of minutes. A pumped-up “charged strike” ability is required. We approach the ball. We hit with a charged attack. GOAL. The enemy does not have time to do anything.
