How to unlock the Secret Mission 1 achievement in Tales of Vesperia - Definitive Guide
I believe the way you get this is that Yuri must be positioned between Zagi and Estellise so that Yuri takes the hits instead of her. In my fight she suffered minor wounds but Yuri took the brunt of it.
- You'll know when you're there because there'll be a short talk between the characters when you get there.
- Go back and save if you are playing on Normal or Hard.
- While it does say that you have to protect Estellise from the Zangi's attacks, she can take plenty of damage because she heals herself.
- She probably lost more than half her HP but ended up healing herself to the point where probably had lost only 1/10 of her HP.
- Others have stated that they have obtained the achievement even with her taking damage.
- Just make sure she doesn't die.
The Secret Mission achievements do not unlock until after the battle so you must successfully complete the secret requirement, then win the battle. If you do not see "Great!" and the battle take a small timeout to show the aftermath of your deed, then you have not done it correctly. Make sure you do all of these in a single playthrough! Doing so will unlock the "True Knight" title for Yuri which you will need for the "They Call Me..." achievement!
Stick close to Zagi and keep pummeling him with normal attacks. The more damage you take, the more healing Estellise will have to do, so she will stay out of the fray. She took two Cyclone attacks and I was able to get this, so I'm not sure what the exact cutoff is.
