How to unlock the David and Goliath achievement

    The Titan is not the Elephant-like enemy you fight early in the game, the titans do not show up until towards the end of the game: they are very large enemies with a giant club, and a health bar shows up on the screen as you fight them.

    Attack the titan's legs until it gets down to half health - it will kneel down. Get behind it and jump, which will start the aerial slash animation - wait until your sword flashes yellow before hitting X to execute the titan.

    At this point you can reload your last checkpoint if you want to get this achievement done right away, or you can simply keep playing as there are more than 5 titans through the story.



    If you played through the story mode already, there's a titan in the 8th round of enemy tides, so you can play that repeatedly to get the kills.

    Here's a video I found of a titan being killed by aerial slash

    spletchieThought I had missed the chance on getting this unless I wanted to start a new game - then I saw your tip on replaying the Enemy Tides challenge. 4 rounds of aerial-slashing the Titan later, boop! Achievement unlocked. Cheers!

    About 2/3rds of the way through, you will get to the "Ruins of Rekem".

    Your character should be quite a hard dude by now, and after the cut scene, you get a Titan and some skeletons. Activate stone armour and just power attack his legs (hold X), until he kneels down. Then jump up on him (A) triggering a cutscene, and hit X when the Prince's sword flashes white light.

    After this, just let the skeletons kill you, don't rewind time, and the checkpoint start is where the Titan spawns. As a result, if you want to, you can knock this out in 5 minutes.

    These are the large standing titans. When they reach half health they will bend over. Jump on them from behind and mash the attack button as you can fail to hit them if they manage to grab you.

    Do this 5 times and you'll get the achievement. There are more than 5 titans to try it on so don't worry about missing one or two because you can still do this in Trail mode.

    Josh Landonjazza, i was having the same problem. Do not mash the X button, press it when the dagger is glowing, then it will count.
