How to unlock the Fearless achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

I had some trouble with this (post NXOE achievement issue, unlocking 22 achievements in the same sessions, so I know prior attempts were not due to XBL issues.

I got the following talents, last minute, with extra points, but you may have them already:

- Dodge Counter
- Dodge Kill
- Dodge Kill Mastery

This video shows how it should look (the last two kills at the end, though only 1 is needed):


If you voted negatively please state why. Thank you.

Only one dodge kill is enough. If you have all the skills pointed in alladaskill17's guide, it will be easy. Just dodge, hit Y at the perfect time. The enemy will die and the achievment will pop! :)

I meleed and finished off about a dozen guys before this randomly popped after dodging a swordsman. It seems to be a bit finicky, but you definitely are spot on with the guide!

This isn't popping for me, but I've had a lot of achievements stuck as well, they show as unlocking in the achievement app. Could be related to that

Do you have to press B to dodge and then Y or 2x Y?

Same as previous poster, popped without killing one as soon as I bought the dodge counter skills and landed one pressing Y.

Would be helpful if you told us what level it was on, how far into the level, etc etc.. Literally no information at all..

Really appreciate the guide. The description is confusing as hell, since it says to only use melee attacks and a finisher. I interpreted that as button mash the Y button until he was dead. I had no idea you had to use dodge counter.

Yes. Enemies do continue to spawn in some areas after you have completed the story.

This wouldnt pop for me either and had done it multiple times, when i finally got to The Lost City area i stealth killed the first Deathless one, he called his friend, i dodge/counter twice (enemy still alive after this), and the achievement popped. so wondering if the stealth finisher may count.
It was after you zipline down from the Threshold of Kitezh found a Deathless guard on corner of a house.

+1 from me.
Countered twice, without killing the same guy in the video, and got it.
I think you need a finisher move (from the upgrade menu) though, in this case, the arrow one.

This first becomes available once you reach the Lost City section late into the game.

(Using an xbox 360 / Xbox one controller) hit B to dodge as they attack and the game will go into slow motion. Press Y when the button appears on screen to do a counter. It should take about 3 or 4 times and you can then finish them with Y when they are on the ground.

I don't recommend doing this during the first section when you encounter Deathless since there are so many archers. Wait until you reach the main city segment (with the trebuchets etc)

Deathless Swordsmen are a type of enemy only encountered in later chapters of the game. To unlock this achievement, you'll first need to learn the Dodge Counter, Dodge Kill and Dodge Kill Mastery skills from the Brawler tree. Now, when you encounter a Deathless Swordsman, ideally one on their own, wait for them to start to attack you, dodge using , then you should get a timed prompt to press  and kill them using a Dodge Kill, unlocking the achievement. You can use Expeditions Mode to replay chapters for this if necessary.

Here's a video guide taken from YouTube to illustrate the achievement.

First you must learn the 3 skills Dodge Counter, Dodge Kill and Dodge Kill Mastery from the Brawler skill tree. Deathless Swordsmen can be found at the end of the story and will attack you with two swords. A good spot is in the chapter "Path of the Deathless", which can be replayed via Expeditions mode. The first enemy you encounter is a Swordsman. When he attacks press to dodge, this triggers a timed event in which you must press at the correct time to perform a counter attack. During the timed event a circle will fill up, wait for it to show the button prompt.
