How to unlock the Knife Basics achievement in Resident Evil 4 - Definitive Guide
In order to perform a Parry, simply press the knife button () RIGHT BEFORE an enemy lands an attack on you. It will most likely be the first achievement you will unlock in the game. Additionally, take these sidenotes into consideration:
- You can’t do a parry if the knife durability meter is fully depleted.
- A parry icon appears next to your health meter when it’s the right time to press the button. Paying attention to that makes it really easy to nail those parries everytime.
- You can parry with as well, if you prefer (needs to turn on this option in the settings)
- You don’t need to be holding the knife to parry. You can do it while holding any gun.
- Doing a perfect parry allows for a subsequent melee attack. Perfect Parries happens by pressing the knife button during a very specific time window, before the attack lands on you. Bright sparks flash on the screen indicating a successful Perfect Parry.
- Successfully parrying an attack fully negates the damage that attack would have done to you.
- If you parry punches, you can actually dismember your enemy.

To do this, you will require a knife in your inventory. Unlike the original game, these now have durability and will break over time.
When certain enemies attack you, you will see the button flash up on-screen. Press this and an animation will play that deflects the blow and negates the damage.
The first enemy I found to do this with is the chainsaw miniboss in the village section of Chapter 1.

You can do this as soon as you encounter the first enemy in the Village. Wait for them to lunge or throw something at you, then use LB to parry it when the button prompt appears, or when you feel the timing is right. You can parry almost any attack, so you’ll unlock this without much effort.
