How to unlock the Against all odds achievement in Lords of the Fallen (2014) - Definitive Guide

I did it on the very first boss, the First Warden.
Since you can't get hit I took off my armor as I think it improves the speed a little bit. Maybe not.
This boss can only be hit from the back or when he is off guard. Normal attacks will be blocked by his shield. Always dodge his attacks, even with blocking they will still do some damage
This boss has some easy attacks and the good thing is he does them even if you are far away. First he has the shield bash which doesn't do any damage, but best to avoid it as well. For this one he holds the sword like a spear towards you and then runs in with a bash.
Then there is either a single or a series of 4 swings. Dodge AWAY from him and wait it out.
And the last attack is the one you want to exploit. It's an overhead hit where he hits the ground. Dodge to the SIDE as this attack sends a trail of flames on the ground. While his sword is stuck to the ground quickly run up to him and do 3-4 hits with daggers max. Sword or axe will probably equal 2 hits.
On the last 25% of health he will have another attack: he will just swirl with his sword, I think it's 8 spins. Again: jump away and wait it out from far away.
The achievement should pop right after a cutscene.

Patience is your best friend here. Don't do a third strike if you have to run over to him. Also when you are attacking him when he has no shield, break lock and run away from him before he does his spinning attack.

I also used no armor for speed preference was able to get 3 hits with my demonic sword. (U can get greedy an go for the 4th hit but beware dodge wrong direction ur hit.) As I said I preferred safe 3 in and out quickly exploiting his overhead attack.

If you use a gauntlet imbued with a poison rune on NG+, it will slow all his animations. Makes this a bit easier.

I can confirm, I killed him on NG+ without taking damage. I received his special sword and the achievement for not taking damage.

Well I can confirm if you are only knocked down by the first wardens shield it won't affect the achievement since it does not take any health off. Just don't get hit by the sword attacks

I did the first boss as well, also took off my armor.

I just did the running RT attack when he did the overhead ground strike. Took me a few tries, since I got greedy once or twice, but pretty simple overall.

I got lucky while fighting the Champion in my NG+. The game must have glitched because the only attack he would do was his charge, so I keep my distance and dodged when I had too and spammed Ram until I defeated him.

Here's my vid of fighting the warden with no armour in NG, with only a base +22 hammer and no gauntlet. Took a while

Did this on my first play as a warrior, since the shield blocks 100% damage, keep medium distance until he raises and slams his sword, get two or three hits, repeat. Got it my first try.

If you die you do not need to quit. So the easiest thing for me to get practice was if I got hit let the warden kill me. The next spawn in is like Dark Souls and skips the intro video making the next attempt faster to get in. This means it is easier to get multiple runs in. As long as from the moment you enter until the warden is dead you don't get hit you will get the achievement.

If you're using daggers, make sure to use the light attack only. It does the same amount of damage as the heavy attack, and it's easier / quicker to attack and escape the Warden after he slams his sword. You can usually get 4 hits in max, which equates to 1/2 a single health bar of the boss depleted. Good luck.

First Warden is the easiest one for sure but I did this in the Champion fight in NG+.
My strategy was to keep my distance from it and damage with fully upgraded (3/3) Ram spell. It required like 25-30 castings but Champion's attacks are very easy to dodge.

I wouldn't recommend doing this with melee but spamming spells and using magic regeneration potions made this one pretty easy.

Here is my video guide for this trophy!

You can easily obtain it during first boss fight. I think that the best character for this trophy is Rogue...

Just watch my video, learn what i do and do the same.

If you are still struggling with this boss then just use your gauntlet for the whole fight in NG+. You shoul have enough magic shards to speed up the process.
