How to unlock the Know DP? Know madness achievement in Deadpool - Definitive Guide

Ultra-Violence! Difficulty is the hardest one in the game and is unlocked after completing the game once normally. For the most part it's pretty easy especially after your first playthrough (if you did one), you will know the layouts of the maps better and how the enemies act and move. Overall there may be a few tough sections but it isn't that bad, most the boss fights aren't that bad either with some trial and error, nothing should cause too much trouble, except until the final boss.
Even on Easy, the difficulty on the final boss spikes so hard that it can truly be a nightmare on this difficulty, you have to defeat each of the previous bosses again, Sinister and several of his clones. This took me a good few hours to complete and may take you the same. You really need to focus to complete this.
Tips for the last boss:
- Conserve ammo, going empty is the last thing you want, use the pulse rifle!
- Play smart, don't get too ahead of yourself
- Use your special attacks
- Try to use weapons you have fully upgraded!
- Don't use Melee attacks on the final boss as he will more than likely kill you if you try, thus only sparingly use your Melee specials. See the tip below, courtesy of Terminator, for more info:
Melee attacks of any kind are borderline suicide against the final boss (even on Easy) as there's a 95% chance that he will use his Choke and Throw attack on you, which will decimate your health when it hits and leave you open to a cheap death. I found the safest method was to use Flashbang Grenades then shoot him from a distance. All the ammo drops will respawn in time so you don't have to worry about running out of ammo, at least not for very long.
Here's a video by Vinster K of the final boss being beaten on this difficulty you can use it as reference if you so choose:

This is the game's hard mode. It's not too difficult due to your healing factor, but certain enemies do take a while longer to drop compared to Veteran mode. The only real tough spots are on the last stage where you must fight your way through tons of enemies to get to the last fights, then when you have to fight all three Marauders at once.
It is recommended to playthrough on normal first to upgrade your skills to make this much easier. If you've already played through on normal and just need this achievement, you can teleport through a lot of the stage space and past many of the enemies. Enemies will eventually catch up to you and usually swarm you, but by then you'll have hit a checkpoint or two and won't be far away when you respawn. Your guns are your best friends here. Once upgraded, you can use the counter attack with the plasma rifle on melee enemies and many will die in one shot. This also doesn't use your ammo since it's a counter. For the ranged enemies, just switch to your SMG and they drop fast. You also don't have to do these levels in order for the achievement to pop. I did the first few missions, then the last two, then the ones in the middle that I hadn't done and it unlocked after I cleared the "Death, Baby" stage since that was the last one I hadn't beaten on Ultra-Violence mode yet.
