How to unlock the One Enthralled by Darkness achievement in Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom - Definitive Guide
Travel to the Denguey Forest Tower and you will come across an tentacle-arm guy nearby a gate that is nearby short steps you have to climb. Make sure that the Majin is waiting and out of sight, then find the tentacle-arm monster. He'll spot you quick and if he lashes out at you with one-arm of it, in a quick, fluid motion, then just shake the left stick back and forth to get it out. You need to have him hit you ten times. It doesn't have to be all at once, it can be done throughout the playthrough, so if you don't see him, you can find another one waiting on a ledge near the beginning of the Denguey Forest Tower. If you are low on energy, head back to the Majin and stand in front of him so that he can heal your wounds. He needs to be in Wait mode in order for him to heal you. Once that's done, go back and get whipped more until the achievement eventually unlocks! So...
Once he's hit you for the tenth time, the achievement "One Enthralled by Darkness" should unlock. Have fun and good luck!
Later in the game you will start to encounter enemies with tentacle-like arms that perform whip attacks on you, normally when their attack hits it covers you in a "black goo" that slows your movement. You'll know this when it happens as the game will prompt you to shake the left analog stick to break free. Have this happen 10 times for the trophy to unlock. You will fight a lot of these enemy types throughout the game so no need to try too hard for this one as it will probably unlock while just playing the game normally.
I had to play through the game again to test the requirements for this trophy as the description is quite vague but I'd still like to thank Mitsuru Kirijo and Absolution05 for helping me try and figure this one out.
