How to unlock the Moves Like Jaguar achievement in Guacamelee! 2 - Definitive Guide

Getting There

At the bottom-middle of Los Manglares is a blue wall that requires you to Wall Fly through it. This will lead you to an area with Chicken Illuminati statues. You'll be required to do a tough 5-screen combat challenge without saving in between screens. At the end of this series is a save point, and taking a left brings you to Jaguar.

I only did one play-through on Hard, and this fight was hard. When you take out 1/3 of Jaguar's health bar, another Jaguar with a full health bar joins the fight. And after you take another third of Jaguar's health (either one), a third Jaguar joins the fight.

Ideally, you should have all of the skills unlocked - at least Mindful Meditation, On Fire!, and improved versions of all the super moves.

Jaguar's Moves

- Club strike (dodgeable): Dodge through or run away.
- Jumping strike (dodgeable, but not safe to interrupt): Dodge through or run away.
- Dash (unblockable and uninterruptible): Wait for the wind up and jump over him at the right time.
- Power up (unblockable): Run away.

My strategy was to focus attention on the original Jaguar as much as possible, because with 2 on screen, there's enough time to meditate and regain health during the fight. With all 3 pestering you, it's not safe to meditate. Hopefully, you can bait all of the Jaguars to dash into the same side of the arena so that you can stun-lock all of them with super moves. This works even if you use a super move that doesn't break their shields. Having 'On Fire!' is pretty important for maintaining your combo without running out of stamina.

When Jaguar gets to low health, he'll get a 3-layer white shield that you need to break with a regular 3-hit combo. Rather than trying to execute a 3-hit combo on its own, try to stun-lock the Jaguars together so that you have some breathing room to pull off all 3 normal hits.

I recorded my last failed attempt and the successful one after that:



Good luck!

Probably the most annoying boss? I've had to come back to this with full power ups and hearts etc and still struggle to do it.

These bosses were annoying. I had to beat this twice.

The first time on Normal, Microsoft had some sort of server outage & the achievement didn't pop, & then I went and auto-saved. The second time on Hard. (At least I used the door-glitch to start the game with a bunch of health & stamina.)

Firstly be prepared to take a break as this can be infuriating.

My tactic was to group all three into one corner and just spam a certain move until one is defeated and starts crawling away and then rinse and repeat still keeping them in the same corner.

Once they had no shield my go to move was x, x, headbutt

The easiest way is to kill one at a time, one at a time.

I recommend starting the battle with them when you have bought a skill that, with a combo above 100, turns off the consumption of stamina, thereby allowing you to endlessly spam attacks.
If you are playing together, there is a simple strategy - one player constantly moves horizontally from wall to wall (at the level of the jaguars' heads, so that they can be effectively pinned in any of their attempts to attack), and the second player simply knocks down the shields of the desired color.
