How to unlock the Focused Momentum achievement in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT - Definitive Guide
The event, "Shadow Surge" is a limited time event located under the casual tab when selecting a gameplay mode from the main menu. This event has an higher chance to get special Souljades than the regular Herald's Trial, which includes Focus Slide. This is the mode that I found mine after 50+ hours of casual bot farming.
When this event ends, future events under different names should rotate through the casual playlist and may also feature increased special Souljade drops.
The Focus Souljade is a purple rare and looks like a lightning bolt at a quick glance.
Once you have managed to acquire one from looting piles or bodies, Hold to initiate running and click the (L3 button) to slide attack. Land the slide attack against an opponent to successfully unlock the achievement.

This is a purple souljade. It can take a while before you see it. These are the jade crystal buffs you find in loot piles and from enemies. You have better luck picking it off an enemy.
Once you equip the Focus Slide souljade, start sprinting with B and click LS to slide into an enemy. You don't need to kill anyone with it. You just need to knock them down.
You do not need to continue holding B after you start sprinting and you will continue to sprint after a slide.
If you play Bloodbath, it spawns pretty often in the chests during the match. If you turn off crossplay in your system settings (the console, not in the game) you will be matched with mostly bots making it easier.

I think you also need to do an attack while sliding, because thats what the Jade adds to the move.

That's what the knockback is. I just slid into an enemy and the achievement unlocked without attacking during the slide.

To use the Focus Slide Souljade once equipped, hold the B button to start sprinting. When you find a target click in your LS button (Left stick) and you’ll see your character slide whilst glowing blue, hit your target whilst doing this and you’ll unlock the achievement.
The drop rate for this item in any game mode be it Ranked, Casual or Bots is ridiculously low. You could be running round the entire map checking 5+ Morus Blessing Chests per match and not get anything except Flamebringers at best.
THE BEST WAY to get this item is to play BLOODBATH. Here’s why:
• Morus Blessing Chests spawn way more frequently. Midway during the match you’ll hear two chests spawn and near the end another one will spawn. You’ll either play a game with two/three chest spawns or a game with none at all, but don’t worry, the matches are way shorter (10mins) than standard matchmaking and the chests have way better loot drops than usual.
• As of December 2022, the game mode isn’t very popular. About 80% of the lobby will still be bots. But just a heads up, you may come across a PC player using a dagger who’s watched way too many Pro-League matches.
• You also spawn with every weapon (Purple Tier) in your inventory. So you can switch to your preferred weapon set for progress towards the ‘Close Combat’ and ‘Accuracy Assured’ achievements. (Yes! Weapon progress counts in this game mode too!)
• If you die don’t worry, it’s basically free-for-all deathmatch. You’ll just respawn. But be warned, you will drop any Gold Tier items and Souljades so remember where you died and go get them back.
In 1 hour of playing this game mode I unlocked the achievements for Swarm, Bloodripper and Focus Slide!
