How to unlock the Like a Boss achievement in Dead Rising 4 - Definitive Guide

The boss events are on day 2 of any episode after you have completed all the initial missions for that day. You will see a mission to bang the gong. They always spawn in Kiichiro food court. When you get the gong mission just run to the location marked on your map and press B next to the gong to ring it. All players that are alive in the game must be near the gong to ring it. Once rang the boss will spawn. Just hack and slash him and you are good to go!

Bosses are not overly difficult in this game especially with 3 or 4 players.

The episode 3 boss can be difficult to kill due to a bug or a mechanic... not sure which it really is. The trick here is to not run from the boss. If he's running at full speed to catch someone he takes little to no damage. Use the dodge ability by pressing RB twice to roll away from his attack.

The 4th episode boss has a small mechanic to it. We always kill them in Acid, Cold, Fire order. Also the theory is if they get close to each other they will heal so you need to try and keep them spread apart. This fight is extremely difficult solo and still pretty hard duo if you don't have the right weapons which would be high damage range weapons when trying to complete solo or duo.

I assume it pops the achievement for everyone and not just the player dealing the finishing blow?

You may need to land the final blow yourself. My group killed a boss and I have credit towards the corresponding trial but no achievement.

Probably a bug. I did it in a group and we all got it.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me given all the other bugs and glitches this game has.

Online required. This can be done in solo private. Bosses only spawn on day 2 of an episode. To get them to spawn, you’ll have to complete or fail all missions in day 2 (by fail, I mean actually fail the objective, not just run out of time - ex. if you have to bring a car to a location and it gets destroyed before you get there). Then all players must go to Kiichiro Plaza to ring the Doom Gong (which requires everyone to be in or near the circle – if people are being unresponsive/uncooperative, I recommend kicking them if you’re hosting - there's a trial to kill 50 bosses, which is enough of a grind as-is), which spawns the boss. All this must be done before 9 PM – if the boss is already spawned and the clock goes ticks 9, you can still defeat him and get credit. Just be aware you have to kill him before midnight.

The bosses on episodes 1 and 2 are easy enough if you come prepared for the fight (which means: come with weapons and health items: a good ranged weapon like an auto shotgun is recommended for episode 1 and a good melee weapon like an ice sword is recommended for episode 2). It’s not worth fighting the boss on episode 3, as he’s a tank who takes forever to kill (he soaks damage unless it’s acid damage). I didn’t bother fighting the boss on episode 4, as it’s not necessary, and I figured it wasn’t worth it after the episode 3 one.
