Kicking Back

Kicking Back

Kick a phillak that has kicked you

How to unlock the Kicking Back achievement in STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition - Definitive Guide

First off, in order to do this achievement you have to unlock the skill "Evasive Kick" from the skill tree. By the time you get to the second planet Zeffo in the campaign you should have enough skill points to have unlocked it which is where you will encounter the Phillak – these are the 3 horned ram-like creatures you will be kicking.

I struggled with this one at first either trying to get them to kick or trying to use my kick and accidentally using my light saber until I developed this strategy.

1) Try and find a lone Phillak which you should encounter early on in the level.

2) You can wait for them to turn red for an unblockable charge – once they charge, hit B to dodge out of the way, remain close by, and with their back turned to you they will kick you. Make sure you are not blocking it.

3) Alternatively, you can block the various charges and head butts the Phillak will perform and try and maneuver behind around it to get it to kick you.

4) After it kicks you, quickly tap B then X thus kicking the Phillak. If you are not quick enough with the button mash you will probably light saber them by accident.

Here's a good video reference for those struggling:

Good luck!

I definitely recommend step 2 instead of 3; you can put your back to a cliff/wall and force it to stop after charging, making it easy to get behind it and be kicked.

I also used this method for the evade and kick, as it telegraphs the move and gets stuck after charging.

+1 thanks for the guide.

Worked like a charm with step 2. As soon as he aggro'd, charged, evade and he kicked. I moved back, he did the same attack, evaded and I kicked. +1 on the guide.

The most important part in gaining this achievement is that the left analog stick has to be neutral to do a kick. If there is any directional input at all then Cal will swing his lightsaber instead.

You can use slow (cn_RB) to get behind it. That's what I did.

Mobius’s point of not moving the analogue stick Is critical, I get slashing all the damn things instead of kicking.

Thanks for the guide, and I agree that Mobuis' observation about the left analog stick was the key element that I was missing. I couldn't get it until I read that, then I got it first try. Might be worth adding to the solution itself.

Terrible control scheme for kicking. 15+ buttons on an xbox controller but this is the best they could come up with? Just sayin'

To be able to kick should have been mapped to a single button. This weird combo you have to do in order to actually kick something is just bad design. Good guide and video though.

The phillak can also be easily fought once the campaign is finished. Choose Meditate/Meditation training/Combat Challenges/Tomb of Eilram. Two phillaks appear in the second wave along with a monster thingy. Kill the monster first and concentrate on kicking one of the phillaks as well-described above. Restart the challenge if you accidentally kill the phillaks.

Do in meditation grid. When it turn red and attack slow time, dodge and run behind it. It will kick you. Kick back and cheevo pops
