How to unlock the Big Game Hunting! achievement in Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon - Definitive Guide
In case you were wondering, this is done by simply killing them as soon as you meet them, don't talk to them at all. It can then be accessed from the main menu, not from the modes list since it does not have a save file of its own.
Before you select the option, you can hold , , and to activate cheats. actually makes the bosses harder, so instead just hold + + and hit . This will make it so you get to play as Ultimate Zangetsu, with his charge attack and double jump, and also gives you infinite weapon energy. Very handy, and it does not affect the achievement. Thanks to Jakez123 for tipping me off on this.
You will predictably enough be fighting each boss in order, and you can choose subweapons for each character in between fights, as well as heal with two big hearts. Your subweapons are reset after every fight, so make sure to pick them up again even if you don't want to change them.
The bosses all behave as normal, which is to say they are not the upgraded Nightmare/Ultimate versions. They do however do a bit more damage than normal, and you don't have any health upgrades, so keep that in mind.
Assuming this is one of your last achievements, you should be very familiar with all of these bosses. The hardest ones are probably the second and last boss, but with infinite weapon energy, you can spam most of them to death before they can do much. Miriam's triple dagger makes very short work of just about everyone if you mash the button, and if you activate Albert's lightning magic beforehand and let it fly around and do its thing, things will go even faster. His fire shield is great too if you just want to be safe. Zangetsu's fire buff power combined with his charge attack also downs some bosses very quickly, especially boss 5 and 6. As usual, if one character gets close to death, switch to a different one, and make sure you heal the right people between fights.
If you have any questions or need advice about any specific boss, feel free to leave a comment. Good luck!
One of the hardest trophies in the game, you must defeat a gauntlet of 9 bosses. IF you play it legit, anyway. From the title screen, select the Boss Rush mode. In this mode you have to defeat bosses from Stages 1 – 8, including both forms of Gremory.
You start off in a hub screen that you return to in between every boss. There are several items in here, but note that you can only use each item ONCE. If you collect secondary weapons, they will not re-spawn. Also note that no characters have a default secondary weapon, including Gebel's Metamorphosis.
You also have all four playable characters. If one dies, you return to the hub to continue. Boss Rush mode continues until all four player characters die or you return to the title screen. Your life does not refresh, so you must be cautious. There are two heart life drops in the hub, but they also do not respawn.
Some tips for clearing this mode:
- As you practice, try to master Miriam for her greater range.
- If you can, beat the first 3 or 4 bosses without getting hit, or at least as little as possible.
- Using Gebel against Bloodless is good. You can stand on the middle umbrella and hit her without getting hit, only avoiding her attacks.
- Using Alfred's Fire Scroll against Gremory's first form will really help reduce damage.
- On that note, you can swap characters with the Fire Scroll active, transferring the shield to other characters until it wears out.
If you're having difficulty there are some cheats you can implement and still earn the trophy.

CHEATS
From the title screen, you can hold buttons on your controller when launching Boss Rush mode to implement a few changes.
The cheats are as follows:
Refreshed hub in between bosses, including health
Unlimited weapon energy
Zangetsu with all the Soul Arts
Nightmare difficulty bosses
So if you hold + + and press to enter Boss Rush, you will unlock Zangetsu with all his Soul Arts, unlimited weapon energy and a hub that refreshes every time you return to it.
The cheats do not disable the trophies.
