How to unlock the Herd Mentality achievement in Minecraft Dungeons - Definitive Guide

I managed to get this by complete accident.
Apparently, if you have buzzy hive with all three bees active as well as a pet (wolf, Llama, golem) at the time of the boss's defeat, it counts! Hope this helps!
The boss required for the achievement is the Tempest Golem at the end of the Gale Sanctum stage.
I believe the pets from artifacts (bees, wolf, Llama, golem, and sheep) are the only pets that count towards the achievement. Pets such as parrot, chicken, and snow fox I would consider to be cosmetic pets, so I believe would not count towards the achievement.
To clear some confusion, you have to have exactly 4 pets out in order for this achievement to unlock! However, there is a glitch that happens when more than one player has their pets out. So in coop, be sure that one player at a time has their pets out if pursuing the achievement.
I got mine on adventure difficulty also, so difficulty does not matter.

Update: Okay, so after reading the comments following this solution, it has become clear that the achievement is somewhat bugged. Meaning that some people only got the achievement from relic pets, while others got them with cosmetic pets as well.
My recommendation is to read the solution as well as the comments and find what works for you. Thanks for reading and the best of luck to you!

The boss I'm taking about is the Tempest Golem at the end of the Gale Sanctum stage.
He is the huge Golem at the bridge before the door to end the stage.

Ah, thank you:)
I wish there was an easy way to see monsters/bosses' name within the game.
Many of the achievements refer to them by name, but they're nowhere to be found within the game itself.

I can say might be glitched (at least now) because I completed 2 times the level and nothing. Still 25% in achievements ;/

I'm pretty sure I had all three bees as well as my golem active when the boss fell. Have you tried that?
I have updated the solution.

I’m assuming if your pet dies it doesn’t count. Sometimes my parrot disappears

I do not believe the pets (parrot, chicken, or fox) count, as they could be considered "passive" pets and I think the game counts it if it is an offensive pet (bees, wolf, Llama, golem). I had a snow fox, golem, and three bees at the time the boss fell.

All pets must be spawned using artifacts.

Bees from armor abilities and cosmetic pets don't count.

When the boss has low health, move away and spawn bees. Make sure you see at least 2 of them on screen, then quickly spawn other 2 (like llama, golem) then defeat the boss.

Don't let other pets get closer to the boss, since they can die easily.
Spawn them from far away and race to the boss yourself for the final blow..

Can confirm that cosmetic pets don't count, and you have to have EXACTLY four animal companions. My first go I had a llama, wolf, iron golem, and a 3 bees (armor perk, from rolling) and didn't get it. Next go with 2 fewer bees and it popped right away.

@Dark CEPM 42 please add to your solution, that is has to be EXACTLY four of these animals and NOT AT LEAST four animals. Thanks @duckonabike for finding out :))
Can confirm this, too. Worked for me with four but not with five!

Just got it today. I can tell u guys it seems to glitch when other players have their pets out as well. I had my friend only put his pets on, while we killed the boss he finally got it after multiple times.

Coop pets glitch it that’s for sure, either try it solo or coop only one player using pets at a time.

I hate to add to all the conflicting theories here, but I spent hours today trying to get this stupid thing to trigger before deciding maybe the iron golem doesn’t count as a pet since it’s not an animal. Then got it directly the next time I tried, with two weapon-spawned bees and the llama and wolf. Maybe I’m wrong, people above say they had four including the golem, but I’m just glad to finally have this thing triggered, and putting it out there in case it helps somebody finally figure out rules for this that work consistently.

I used the Buzzy Nest artifact along with the Tasty Bone artifact right before I was about to kill the Tempest Golem and it popped for me on the first try. I had a cosmetic pet around too but that didn't matter apparently.

Use the two artifacts right in front of the Tempest Golem but make sure all 3 bees are out of the nest before finishing him off. Should only need a couple of seconds before that happens.

The comment above by Jacques Bauer worked for me. I used the Buzzy Nest and the Golem Kit. I weakened the boss, used the artifacts, spawned three bees, then delivered the killing blow. The bees die easily so just make sure all three are alive.

I had zero luck with the other suggestions. I used three animal spawning artifacts. Tried them with a cosmetic animal. Tried them with the spelunker armor that creates a pet bat. Tried them with the Frost Bite armor that "spawns a snowy companion." None of those combinations worked for me.

Beenest Armour

Buzzy Nest
Llama
Wolf

Also had my cosmetic parrot equipped.

Had buzzy nest, spawned 3 bees; had tumble bee, rolled 3 times and got 3 bees, spawned a wolf and llama and still did NOT get the achievement. 8 "pets" and nothing. BS...

Does it matter if the summoning artifact common/rare/unique?

Okay some tips of how I got it: 1) you have to be the host or play offline, 2) common artifacts to summon pets; 3) 3 bees hive from artifact (not the ones created by rolling) and a llama (4 animals, not more)

When you put down a bee hive, make sure that all 3 bees spawn from it before killing the boss.

I tried in every possible way, but I didn’t release it, I already did it with the bee’s nest, I saw people saying that the Golem wouldn’t count because it wasn’t an animal, I took it out and put the llama in. I even tried to take out the mascot that accompanies us and nothing .

This achievement is so goddamn busted. Done it with 6 pets, done it with 5 pets, done it with exactly 4 pets and only using the buzzy nest and wolf bone ... nothing. What a joke.

Edit: I FINALLY got this to unlock. I was on the lowest Apocalypse difficulty. I let the battle fully "play out" (you can skip having to open the boss weak point if you just wail on him and do a ton of damage) with 4 rounds of attacking the weak point. I used the buzzy nest with 3 bees and an iron golem kit. I turned off my cosmetic pet and unequipped any other item that spawns pets (bees from armor or weapon, spelunker armor, etc.). Hopefully this info is helpful to someone.

Update: I unlocked this not too long ago, I used 3 bee nests, meaning a total of 9 bees. I assume you need a minimum of 4 pets active.

I can also confirm the cosmetic pet works. I had a golem, wolf and lama summoned and right before the fight i went to the cosmetic stuff section and unequip and reequip the cosmetic pet to respawn it. (not sure if the last step is necessary, but i didn't saw the pet and this way it reappears.)

I think may have figured out what was "glitching" for some people. When you spawn a pet they have a blue square around them, same as your own character. When they drift to far away from you, that blue square dissappears. ALL FOUR MUST HAVE THIS BLUE SQUARE WHEN THE BOSS DIES. In three times defeating the boss with four pets, one or more didn't have the square. No achievement. My fourth attempt I made sure all had the blue square. Achievement popped.

I think this blue square indicates if the pet is tied to you. Not sure though. But the bees really like to drift away so keep them close!

One surefire way to get this achievement is to wait until there's a daily challenge on Gale Sanctum that adds a pet multiplier. Today (for me at least) there was x3 multiplier for pets on that level, meaning I rushed the boss with 9 Iron Golems on a very low difficulty as a way to guarantee the unlock. One obvious downside to this route is that you'll have to have some patience and check the challenges frequently, but it is reliable.

This requires that you have unlocked and equipped the following:
 
  • Tasty Bone artifact (Wolf)
  • Wonderful Wheat artifact (Llama)
  • Golem Kit artifact (Iron Golem)
  • Enchanted Grass artifact (Enchanted Sheep)
  • Soul Lantern (Soul Wizard)
  • Cave Crawler/Mystery/Spelunker armor (Bat)
  • Beenest/Mystery/Beehive armor or Bee Stinger weapon or Buzzy Nest artifact (Bee)
With all 4 of your pets equipped and active, defeat the Tempest Golem on Gale Sanctum. Be aware that your pets can die when summoned through an artifact, so you may want to play on an easy difficulty, Default IV (recommended power level: 16) or only spawn them all in once the Tempest Golem's health is low. See Taming the Storm (50G) for a strategy to defeating the Tempest Golem.

I placed hives in all slots and activated them at the end of the battle. Waited for 4+ bees and dealt the final blow to the boss. They gave me the trophy.
