How to unlock the There's No Such Thing As Luck achievement in Ryse: Son of Rome - Definitive Guide

I did this in Chapter 3 after you take the beachhead. It takes a good couple of attempts but keep deflecting the arrows like so and the achievement will pop!

i had to do it twice before it unlocked. you have to press A as soon as the arrow indicator turns solid red. i found it easiest to do in chapter 3 in the tower, after you get past the archers in formation and climb to the top to release the weights. it will say kill the archers. there are two archers standing at the edge. just kill the other enemies and then throw a pila at the archer to get his attention while still keeping distance. he should start shooting arrows at you instead of downwards and you can deflect one into him.

How do you deflect an arrow? Like, what button do you push? A? X?

Just giving my experience; I think I did this at least 20 times while playing thru but never got the achievement, I had another issue with Finders Keepers and unplugged my XBox One, deleted my local data and started over -- sadly I played thru the entire game (at least in Recruit mode) and at my last Chronicle I plugged the Xbox back in and what do you know POP!; Finders Keepers; POP! There's No Such Thing As Luck -- so maybe this is a solution to the glitch, again just giving my experience.

I got it on my first try using this method. I noticed that a lot of the time when you deflect an arrow it does not kill the enemy. I am pretty certain I had to deflect two or three hours back at the same target before he died. I watched at least two of them hit him.

I found that this was extremely easy to get.... Maybe not if you are on Legendary, but I had no trouble. Anyway +1 from me.

I just did this like 5 times and no ach. It doesn't have to be back at the same archer that shot it right? I'm doing it at the spot on chapter 3 after you storm the beach and after you shield wall. There's about 7 archers all shooting and I can kill 1 or 2 of them each time before we get overrun. Any help would be appreciated. My character is fully upgraded so I can't use a spear to weaken anyone they just die

I was able to do it in chapter 7, the part with the archers just after you get the chance to use the Scorpio in the tower.

FWIW, I could not get this to unlock in the campaign, regardless of what I tried. I was able to get it to unlock in Solo arena mode

You can do this in several Places in the whole Game. I'll show you only 2 places where you get there quickly.

Load Chapter 5 and play to this Place from the Video. This take about 5-7 Minute after you start Chapter 5. If you reach this Place, stay in Front of the Archers and wait for a Arrow, then press A in the right Moment and the Arrow is deflected.

The alternative Method is in the Solo Arenamode. Choose your favorite Arena and wait for the "Kill the Archers" Wave. This Wave is random in the Arena. This Way see you at the End of my Vid below.

This seems to be achievable anywhere in the campaign or the arena multiplayer solo or with a partner. And I got this in the arena with some random gladiator at my side overall it isn't too hard to pull off but there does seem to be alot of luck involved.

Firstly you must make sure there are enemy archers to take down then rather than killing them simply let them take pot shots at you and keep deflecting their shots until you kill an enemy with it. Be sure to press A at the right moment which is when the arrow at the top is fully visible this will greatly increase your chances of deflecting an arrow shot.

I got this on the wicker man stage in the arena but it could be just as doable anywhere else where there are archers.

You can do this achievement easly at the chapter 3 or chapter 5. This achievement require a good timing to do a counter attack just before an arrow touch you. Below a video will show you an HOW TO. GOOD LUCK.

Walkthrough to get the There's No Such Thing As Luck achievement, select arena mode in solo, either on the 2nd or 3rd wave (it's random) you'll get the mission to kill the archers. Stay near the archers without killing any enemy, when they shoot you an arrow make a perfect block to kill an enemy. If you have any doubts please don't forget to ask. Thank you.

I did this in the Wrath of Nemesis. When you fight in the Coliseum you eventually reach a part where your gladiators are pinned downed by archers, don't know if its the same if you choose the other path to the left, after the initial beach assault.
You go up a ramp in behind the archers and you can use pilla to kill them but instead at first use A to deflect the arrows you also should hold the left stick towards them to direct the deflected arrow.
Took 2-3 arrows to kill one on legendary difficulty, assume it less on the lower difficulties.

You have to time a parry with A perfectly to deflect an incoming arrow into another enemy. I found a good place to do this is Chapter VII: Pax Romana. A little way into the level you will be tasked with defending a barge from the shore. In the first area you drop down into there are a few archers. Take out a couple, especially any on higher ground, the rest will be on the same level as you and I found it easier to hit them when they are. Step out and wait for the arrows to come and just try to time your parry. You will get it eventually.
