How to unlock the Stay Down! achievement in Shenmue - Definitive Guide

This guy is an asshole, fuck trying to dodge him. Just run away using RT and have him chase you and then stop and spam B and the dpad to throw him then run away again. This way your health shouldn't be an issue as it will regenerate as you flee like a coward.

@TheOnlyMatto like the guide says this guy is an asshole. From memory you need to just dead stop and mash b and wiggle the dpad left and right then run away again.

What I did throughout the battle was hold the left analog stick away and slightly up/down to kind of shuffle in circles around him,occassionly pressing Y to hopefully side dodge his strikes. When successfully evading, a simple XXA string and then repeating the process.

It makes for a longer-than-usual battle but remember: your health regenerates, his does not.

If he uses a move where he slides between your legs, hammer A with no directional input for a nice bit of easy damage.

I'm gonna give a +1 here. What ended up happening was I grabbed him with B, but not press the D-Pad or anything and just mash X to punch him twice. As he'd get up, I'd take a step forward, grab him with B again, rinse and repeat. Literally just get him stunlocked into your arms and face-punch to death.

Pretty sure this achievement is glitched, I was able to get the one for beating the game but this one hasn't unlocked for me yet.
Edit: Got it after my 2nd attempt, god this guy is a prick laugh

This is story related.

This will unlock after knocking Chai into the sea following the final QTE sequence.

For this fight, you must dodge a lot ( cn_Y + direction). Quick attack after a succesful dodge.

The correct input is cn_down cn_A cn_A cn_B

Found this guy easy when I did the following:

Step 1:
cn_rightcn_rightcn_X Dash elbow move, spam it. (assuming cn_right is in front of you, if not use cn_leftcn_leftcn_X)

cn_right cn_right cn_A cn_right cn_A for tornado kick works well too if the dash elbow doesn't work.


Step 2:
If at any time he gets close and/or goes under your legs, spam cn_B and the opposite direction to throw him. I try to hit cn_X to punch him in the back of the head because I think it does more damage but throwing him was more common with a button mash.

Step 3:

Run with cn_RT and use cn_A or cn_X to hit him by turning sharply into him if he is winning. This can be used to regain health.

QTE after he is beaten - cn_down cn_A cn_A cn_B

He didn't hit me more than 3 times, it wasn't a long fight and it was over. If the other ones don't work for you, try that.

Step 2 worked for me. RT+A and sometimes RT+X were my go to attacks. I barely lost health.

The first 2 steps are not needed and made it harder for me.

I dont know but it was the easiest fight in Shenmue for me. I did not have to evade or run away to regenerate. The only thing i did was spamming the
Tornado Kick (learned from Tom 1 day earlier)
-> -> AA / <- <- AA (depending wich side is in front of you)

I tought i was lucky and repeated the fight after completing the game and it was as easy as in the first time.

This is a tough fight. It is at the end of the game, you will be jumped by Chai in a cutscene in the harbor. He attacks fast, and if you get too far from him, he will run at you and attack, so it is hard to stay too far away. There is a distance that he will just move with you as you move away, but I found he would often attack out of this, so it isn't safe to completely renew your health.

I stuck with small punches and kicks. Nothing fancy. Just little by little until I beat him. I found the punch often knocked him out of his attacks which really helped.

It took me two tries. My first attempt I was trying grapples, and although a few landed, most of the time he did heavy damage when I attempted them. This is why I recommend small attacks and keeping moving instead.

Once you beat him, there is a final QTE before the ending. The moves are:

cn_down cn_X cn_X cn_O

Note this trophy is for the end of the game fight, not the arcade fight which is WAY harder and optional to win.

Chai is a real pain to beat but if you got through the 70 man battle then he may prove easier.

There isn't really any trick to beating him, you just need to survive and do damage to him. I found kicks to be most effective against him. A hard hitting kick such as the roundhouse when you're running should work. You can run around to recover some HP but be careful of his back grab attack.

There is no part 2 to this fight so just focus on beating him with everything you've learned.
