How to unlock the Defeat Ingla achievement in Stray Blade - Definitive Guide

This is a story based achievement that culminates in fighting the third boss of the game, Ingla. You must first explore the Seething Wastelands, the huge zone you explore after Tamed Peaks in which contains the subzones you must explore for the story.

Ingla is locked behind three towers that all must be activated to open the last tower, giving access to her arena which requires the Xhinnon Vision ability from The Xhinnon General. Once you have this ability and activate all three towers head back over to The Watching Tower zone and proceed into Ingla's arena by means of Xhinnon bridge.

Ingla is also quite annoying in the fact that she can stun lock you if she gets a hit in. She ends up knocking you down and before you can stand up, attacks again refreshing the knockdown. This can happen many times in a row causing a ton of damage to you. This got very annoying as it is a shit design honestly and should not happen.

Anyways, Ingla is pretty easy to read after you learn her pattern. She has the standard unblockable/unparryable attacks when she glows red so you must dodge through those. This is generally a tail swipe that allows a good window to punish her. Dodge to the right when this happens as she sweeps from the right, giving the best window of opportunity. She also will spin one sword around her body in preparation for a swipe but delays the swipe for a couple seconds, this can be a good spot to parry if you can time it right. This usually follows up with her retreating to do a long distance charge, which is also a good time to parry if you can. Ingla will also do a forward swipe with each sword that can be parried but follows it up with an unparryable laser beam.

Periodically Ingla will teleport out of the arena and the floor will collapse. There will be many clones of her around the area, grapple to one of them and she will teleport back to the arena. You must now hide behind the pillar where her clone was standing otherwise you will be killed by her laser coming up next. Once the pillar is destroyed, she will come closer to your platform and you need to grapple back to her. She will immediately follow up with an attack so be careful.

This cycle repeats until she is defeated with a finisher in the center of the arena.

Once you strike the final blow, the achievement unlocks during the cutscene.
