How to unlock the Dose of his own medicine achievement in Styx: Master of Shadows - Definitive Guide
Torturers first appear in Mission 3: Deliverance. They are instantly recognisable for wearing black clothing and hoods. They're uncommon opponents and commonly flanked by Knights, so be careful not to get seen by the Knight as they can't be killed by daggers or in a fight (They can be killed by crushing but that's about it).
Duels are when you have to parry and counter to kill. It's an easy trophy and by chapter 3 you should have had lots of practice duelling.
Here's a video walkthrough so you can see what Torturers look like and where to find one:
The first time you can get this is immediately at the beginning of Mission 3 (Deliverance) in Zone 1. Jump down from your starting position and run down the corridor, turn to the balcony on the right, and then jump down to the lower area. Proceed towards the well but turn at the first right and then immediately turn left around the corner. If you do this quickly enough then there will be a black robed enemy in front of you, this is a torturer. Engage this enemy in a duel and upon successful completion of the duel the trophy will ding.
Video guide by rus199410:
Torturers are a unique enemy variant that will only appear in Mission 3/Zone 3.
When making your way towards the high security section, you will eventually stumble into a large room where two inquisitors are speaking to a knight. Once they finish talking, the knight will turn around and begin his patrol, while the two inquisitors will descend a nearby staircase and station themselves at the landing. For this achievement, you'll want to pass this area and reach the next room. Because a text-based guide in detailing the torturer's location may be confusing, please utilize the video below for further assistance with this achievement.
