How to unlock the Bydo Headhunter achievement in R-Type Dimensions - Definitive Guide
First thing you should know, it´s that last boss of R-Type counts as killed even if he dies for time. It´s a hard boss, so keep in mind killing him isn´t needed.
There is a junk thing on Stage 7 of first R-Type that flies from the left to the right. If you shoot it, it won´t flash, make any breaking sound... Anything. But you can kill it and it counts toward the achievement. Probably you will need some powerups, keep that in mind.
In Stage 6, don´t forget to kill at least one of those giant flying squares with an orb. Some people forget them and they count as well.
You have to kill the three parts of Stage 4 boss too. I first thought I had last boss left, and I kept playing until I could beat him (I got like 10.000 kills in the process, just by repeating Stage 8), but it was this one. Try to get at least a level 2 Force, because shooting from his back it´s pretty useful.
I think there are some things that counts in R-Type II final boss, so try blowing all up in that one.
If you have killed all of this, check if there´s any boss you have killed, and if there isn´t, try killing every thing that moves in any level. There aren´t many that move and can´t be killed.
Once again, use Infinite mode and blast everything you can.
A few that can be easily missed are-
R-Type Stage 6- The large enemies that litter the entire level need to be killed from the other side. You can also do this during the boss battle here since theyre the same enemy type.
R-Type Stage 7- There is a large, rectangular, red pile of what looks to be scrap metal in the center of the screen that needs to be destroyed.
If you are having trouble finding them all, keep in mind that bosses count as part of this trophy too. You must kill every boss for it to count- if you let the boss "time out" you wont get credit for it with the exception of R-Type Stage 6- you do NOT have to kill everything during that boss battle at all.
I had 63/64 enemies killed plus I was missing a boss kill which ended up being stage 4 boss of r-type II. After that it brought my count to 64/64.
You should unlock this after completing your infinite playthroughs, if not then start up another playthrough ans get blasting again. Progress can be checked from the main menu then go to the stats screen. The number of types of enemy killed is on the second screen so you will need to press the button to view it.
This should come by playing through both R-Type I and II a couple of times. You need to kill one of each enemy in the game, as well as one of each boss.
If you find you need a few more in order to get the achievement, you might have missed one of the bosses, on the 'statistics' page the game will tell you how many more you need, and above that it will list how many bosses you have killed.
If you have all of the bosses and are still stuck on 63/64, then the most likely explanation is that you missed either the large moving block/crate on Stage 6 of R-Type I, or one of the small red things on Stage 5 of R-Type II at the top and bottom of the screen.
(Thanks to Zaarock and muffinmastergw2 for these two)
The large moving crates must be destroyed from behind, the large purple gemstone looking things on the back have to be hit with considerable force. The easiest way to get them is on 'infinite mode', die then simply hover over them while invincible and unleash a charge shot from inside it.
There is also a large red block of junk at the beginning of R-Type I stage 7, it doesn't look like it can be destroyed but keep plugging at it and it blows up. As well as this make sure you destroy one of each debris that the boss drops on you. Not sure if they count but they can't hurt.
If none of these work for you, make absolutely sure you killed the last boss of R-Type II properly, you have to destroy both baby-orb things not just the first one.
