How to unlock the Early Bird achievement in Iron Crypticle - Definitive Guide
You can only get this by playing New Game+ (unlocked by beating regular New Game).
There are required Minibosses to fight in Floors 2, 4, and 6. (The room is directly in the middle of your map, and shows an eyeball for the symbol.)
For Floor 2, there's one worm/centipede like thing that spawns and is pretty easy to beat. On Floor 4, a second centipede will spawn after hurting the first one a little bit and will have some different attacks from the Floor 2 Miniboss and the one you're already currently fighting, but again, is still pretty easy. The Floor 6 Minibosses spawn at the same time as each other (and again, are centipedes lol), and are quite a bit tougher than the ones on Floor 2 and 4, but are easily thwarted with some dodging and the fact that you should have some good upgrades by that point.
To defeat these Minibosses, all you have to do is destroy each part of its body (not including the head) while watching out for the projectiles it shoots at you, and it'll eventually blow up. They don't have much health at all and die fairly quickly, even on Floor 6. I personally got the achievement on Floor 4 during my first New Game+ run, right after beating the third centipede thing, so Idk how random the Miniboss spawns are, but the achievement shouldn't be much of a problem at all.

New Game+ achievement
Story-related; cannot be missed.
In NG+, Floors 2, 4, and 6 have a mandatory Miniboss fight in the center of the floor. These fights are the same: one or two worms come out of the hole in the center, and you need to shoot and destroy each body piece to defeat it. These fights are very easy, since they shoot infrequently and slowly. Just focus on dodging and avoiding bullets while you take out one worm at a time.
If you progress straight through NG+ on your first try, you'll unlock this achievement after the Floor 6 Miniboss. Note though that this achievement is apparently cumulative as well. For me, I beat the Floor 2 Miniboss on my first run, died before Floor 4, and then on my second run this achievement unlocked after redoing the Floor 2 Miniboss and then beating the Floor 4 Miniboss. So it's either bugged in a good way or just an incorrect description.
