When you are in close quarters combat with the silver bots (the very first enemy you meet) simply press as they are about to hit you. If you get the timing right "GUARD PARRY" will flash up on the screen. Rinse and repeat.
You can get guard parrys against the other bots but if you're going to farm this one then there are more than enough silver bots before you meet the second enemy type.
This achievement is quite easy to unlock without using the fang enemy farming method. You will need to play on easy and find a large group of enemies. 1-4 is good for that. Get the enemies to follow you into a corner or somewhere you can have your back away from the enemies. From that point on you can spam because the enemies will get into range to melee you. You will start picking up guards without even trying and with multiple enemies throwing melee attacks, you dont have to worry about timing it.
You use the to block. You need to hit the button just as they attacking you to block at the right time and deflect causing a guard parry which deflects their attack back and leaves them open to attack. If you do it correctly, you will see "Guard Parry!" above your head and an bounce back. Rinse and repeat 100 times and the trophy will pop.
The description for this achievement is a bit misleading. You do not have to break past an enemy's guard, but instead you need to press to activate your shield to deflect a melee attack back at an opponent. There will be a small icon that pops over your head to show that you have done so successfully. Many enemies in the game have a melee attack and most of them can be deflected. The timing may take some practice but with time it will become second nature. If you don’t get this over the course of your main playthroughs you can easily grind this out on the first level.
