How to unlock the Be the Knife achievement

    I got this on accident after dealing with the oncoming truck on the broken bridge early in the game.

    There are several opportunities in the game to do this. One of the best ways possible is on Chapter 2-2, the train station. There are plenty of crossbow Majini in the area, and chances are that Sheva will be too distracted by the dogs to ruin your opportunity. Get close enough to one of the Majini so that your knife swing area touches near the tip of their crossbow and not them. Keep swinging the knife so that its hitbox immediately deflects the arrow shot at you. It's not always a guaranteed deflect depending on when the knife animation starts and ends however, so keep trying if you're not successful the first time.

    Dainbramage127One small typo, the Train Station is Chapter 2-2. Good solution otherwise!

    If you are still having trouble with this achievement, I found it pretty easy to get in the DLC Desperate Escape. Make sure you are playing as Jill. Once you get to the first available assisted jump, you will be on a container opposite of two enemies with crossbows. Jill lunges forward with a knife, so it should be easy to lineup the knife with one of the crossbow shots coming straight at you. Good luck!
