How to unlock the Pacific Partnership achievement in Iron Brigade - Definitive Guide
As soon as the mission starts run straight ahead toward the water. Once the cutscene stops hit A to set your Fortify/Quickload legs and aim your crosshairs at the force field bubble on top of Vlad's Creature. When it glows red both of you unload into it until it explodes. Hit A again to dodge any incoming lightning strikes. When Vlad reappears go back to your original position, hit A, and do the same as you both did before for the other three glowing red weapon ports. Do NOT miss once! Battle action sequences between weapon port activations are long and take up time. Once both of you take out all three hit A again and dodge lightning strikes and shoot the Knobs trying to weaken you. When Vlad reappears again go back to your original position and hit A again. Aim between his legs and shoot the glowing red sacks when they drop (I know, funny). You should both have enough fire power to take them out in one go. Don’t worry about enemies attacking you. You will kill Vlad before they do enough damage to be worrisome.
You want to finish before the timer hits 3:20 for the Gold.
This boss is located at the end of the 'Pacific' act in the mission 'Farnsworth'.
Unlike the other bosses, it is damaged through attacking weaknesses around it's body. You will only damage the boss when the weakness has turned orange. Be sure to place two or three emplacements down around yourself to watch your back as you attack the boss. Like all bosses it has three health bars, once a health bar level is destroyed it will retreat for a short amount of time and send variants of Monovisions to attack you.
If you have turrets placed be sure to watch out for roving groups of Knobs as they will turn them into dust. Once the first weakness on it's head is destroyed, it will raise itself up slightly revealing three more weaknesses. When these have been destroyed it will yet again raise itself for the last time to reveal a further four weaknesses.
This achievement requires you to kill it with more than one player in Co-op.
