How to unlock the The first evil to fall... achievement in Darkest Dungeon - Definitive Guide

The first boss you will likely encounter will be the Apprentice Necromancer in the Ruins. You'll need to complete quests in the Ruins (which will fill up the progression bar) until his quest shows up. I think it shows up after the first progression bar is complete.

He's pretty easy to defeat, but will fight you with a few moderate damage attacks. Each time he attacks, he will summon a skeleton to take his place in his current rank and move himself back one.

I'd suggest bringing a Crusader or Leper to smash his skeletons and then whatever assortment of ranged characters you like, but be sure to include a healer. Bleed/Blight both work well on him and he is susceptible to being pulled. Just make sure you can attack the back ranks in case you can't keep up with his skeletons and he should go down without too much trouble.

Hmm, didn't unlock for me after I killed him.

Looking at the list of recent winners, I think you just didn't get the achievement right away (or maybe you went on to beat another boss?). I'd be interested to know which it was.

To Spawn A Boss, You Must Do Dungeons In An Area (Like The Weald) Until The Progress Bar Above That Dungeon Fills Up Completely.

This Will Spawn A New Type Of Quest, The "Boss" Quest.
Picking This Quest In The Selected Region Will Put You In A Dungeon With The Boss.

You Still Have To Fight Your Way To It!

Each Boss Has Their Own Strengths And Weaknesses, And A Full List Of All Of The Bosses Can Be Found In The "Caretaker's Goals" Menu, In-Game.

Slaying One Of Them Nets You This Achievement And Marks You As Well On Your Way To Beating The Game.

Good Luck!

Any boss will count (see caretaker goals for a list of bosses, where to find them and tactics to use), the Shambler also counts as a boss. All bosses (except the Darkest Dungeon boss and the Shambler) can be found in a boss mission. Simply kill it and the trophy will pop. It’s ok if some of your heroes die during the fight, as long as one of them survives the battle, the trophy will be yours. If three heroes die the Lone survivor trophy will also pop.

The first boss is a necromancer's student, to simplify the task it is better to take a crusader with you, since he can inflict additional damage to enemies such as evil spirits, and the necroman summons skeletons. (heroes will also go for damage to distant positions + bleeding / since the necromancer has low resistance to bleeding)

The first tasks to kill the boss appear on the second level of the area. The icon for such quests looks like a skull, and the quest description shows the name of the boss. You can raise the level of an area by completing quests in that area. For the Ruins area, the first boss will be the Necromancer's Apprentice.
