SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption

Hey whats up everybody Lettuce here


- For this achivo it might be hard to actually know when Adam is going to use his grab.
honestly fighting him cautiously you just might not even see him perform the move at any rate.

- when going for this adam ( SHOULD STILL HAVE HIS SWORD AN SHIELD EQUIPPED )

- DONT NOT ATTEMPT THIS WHEN ADAM STARTS USING HIS TWO HANDED SWORD ITS TO LATE BY THEN

- So for to earn this : you must progress the battle until Adam glows ( RED IN BOTH HANDS ). he will stop fighting just long enough to make the change. this is ( BEFORE ) he starts to glow immolation like grubs from gears lol.

- THIS is the correct time period to approach adam. literally once he has done this SIMPLY, VERY CASUALLY run up to him an press ( x ) once.

- IT MITE BE more than once for sum ppl but maximum maybe 2 swings.

- MOST IMPORTANTLY - UNDERSTAND WHEN HE PERFORMS THIS MOVE ON YOU IT DOES GREAT DAMAGE BUT IF YOU FULL HEALTH. well yea it says you must die from the attack !!

- Suggestion take enough damage before you even make the attempt at this.

- he will do the same crit strike you used on him for a separate cheevo.


- i tried the other guys method to let him glow immolation over his whole body. half way mark of his health bar. then he starts to use his two handed-sword. I was not successful at all. IMOP hes twice as lethal at that point an time. i dont think its best to try this at that point in the battle

i let you guys be the judge.

happy hunting.

Adam is the final boss of the game. Access the fight by using the giant floating rock/heart in the middle of the hub. Much of the damage done during this fight happens by parrying Adams melee attacks and counterattacking immediately. The player character will, for the sword and shield weapon, stab into Adam and then yank the sword back out of him. This is almost like a mini-cutscene as it’s a set animation with now way to change/shorten it. If you’ve played dark souls games, this should feel familiar.

The description of this achievement is not clear. The other guides/commenters are correct, the “grasp” move is essentially a riposte just like how the player damages Adam. Here’s how I ended up getting this done:

First, equip the sword and shield. Next, damage Adam a bit. With weakened attack power, I recommend 2-3 parties and ripostes (the critical stab attack).

Then, once you’ve done enough damage (but not too much) allow Adam to change phases. This is exemplified by glowing fists brought about by a generic “powering up” animation. The phase change is triggered by dealing damage to Adam, but so is his weapon switch. Be sure Adam still has his sword and shield out. There were some fights when he wouldn’t change phases until after switching to the large two-handed sword. I was not able to make this work in those attempts so I would recommend retreating/retrying the fight.

Next, ensure that your health is around half or lower. Any higher and he may not kill you with the attack.

Finally, attack Adam outside of the normal parry window. Just start hacking at him. Be careful not to attack during a combo or you may get comboed to death before even getting the attack off. He should perform a parry with his shield and stab forward into you, just like you’ve been doing to him. If the stab or sword removal kills you, that should get you the achievement!
