This is obtained for beating the ressurecting boar in 2minutes. It is easily obtainable on your second playthrough. It's a pretty beastly foe on the first playthrough, but on your second playthrough you are immensely more powerful, even more-so if you forged up certain weapons- some of which are ridiculously overpowered. (I have killed this boar in 2 hits on normal challenge level, for example) I believe the achievement pops after the king of facade intervenes. please comment and correct me if I'm off on that so I can fix whichever detail.
You will realize why this boar is a "hero" during your second and third playthroughs if you listen to all the dialogue and read the documents devola and popola give to you during your second encounter with them (they're in your memos section in the grimoire).

This popped for me when I beat the unarmored boar, during the cutscene when the armored one shows up

Just got this on my first play through. It wasn't that hard at all

Goose is the regenerating armoured boar you face midway through the Shadowlord's castle. Skip all cutscenes, don't worry if you miss this trophy in your first playthrough, it will be much easier to obtain in New Game+

to land on your feet when he charges. The majority of the time when he charges he will bash into a wall and be immobile on the floor for a few seconds, use this opportunity to attack with dark hand. To minimise the damage taken from Goose, circle around him, the only damage you will take is from his 90° jumps. Once he is defeated the trophy will unlock.
