How to unlock the Kicking Back achievement

    First off, in order to do this achievement you have to unlock the skill "Evasive Kick" from the skill tree. By the time you get to the second planet Zeffo in the campaign you should have enough skill points to have unlocked it which is where you will encounter the Phillak – these are the 3 horned ram-like creatures you will be kicking.

    I struggled with this one at first either trying to get them to kick or trying to use my kick and accidentally using my light saber until I developed this strategy.

    1) Try and find a lone Phillak which you should encounter early on in the level.

    2) You can wait for them to turn red for an unblockable charge – once they charge, hit B to dodge out of the way, remain close by, and with their back turned to you they will kick you. Make sure you are not blocking it.

    3) Alternatively, you can block the various charges and head butts the Phillak will perform and try and maneuver behind around it to get it to kick you.

    4) After it kicks you, quickly tap B then X thus kicking the Phillak. If you are not quick enough with the button mash you will probably light saber them by accident.

    Here's a good video reference for those struggling:

    Good luck!

    The most important part in gaining this achievement is that the left analog stick has to be neutral to do a kick. If there is any directional input at all then Cal will swing his lightsaber instead.
    Thank you Mobius Evalon!

    In this video guide I will show you how to kick a phillak that has kicked you. First thing you will need to get this achievement is the Evasive Kick ability. This is found in the Lightsaber Skill Tree. So be sure to get this right away to be prepared for the area to get the achievement.

    The Phillak is located on the planet Zeffo. The creature looks like a big three horned goat. You will find them on the normal story path. In order for it to kick you, you will need to get behind it when it attacks. It will kick you with both its hind legs. Once you get up just press the B button to dodge and followed up by the X button. Once you kick it back the achievement will pop. The good thing is that if it don't work you can try it again since the kick does very little damage.

    For anyone a little bit confused like me about how to be able to kick consistently, I saw this on another guide.

    Kick is done with tapping cn_B and then cn_X. Which is very simple, my confusion was, you need to only press cn_B and cn_X and not be moving. If you are pushing the cn_LS stick to move this will take out your lightsaber rather than kicking.
    So when you are doing the kick manoeuvre make sure you’re not trying to use the left stick to move. (Credit to X BigBen O in the kickoff guide.)

    Just wanted to add this, as the other guides are very good and clear. But honestly I spent an hour failing after reading the guides and all the comments. It wasn’t till I read the guides for the ‘Kickoff’ achievement that I was able to get this first time.

    Hope this helps.
