How to unlock the Get Down And Boogieman achievement in RESEARCH and DESTROY - Definitive Guide

This is a very difficult and tricky achievement to get if you don't know what you're doing.

Counterintuitively, Just pointing the Subdueler at the boogeyman will not work. Basically I had the Subdueler equipped on Larry who also had the knife over his head during the mission. I placed the Subdueler down and placed Larry right in the center of the cone to protect him. When the boogeyman runs into the cone of music to attack, the achievement will pop. Shouldn't matter which character has the knife over their head, just mentioning which one I used.

I don't think it matters if the Subdueler is upgraded but it probably helps make it easier. Mine was upgraded with the double strength perk. Hope that helps.

And that's how I finally managed to unlock the second-last achievement with a vanilla Subdueler. Thank you! 🙏🏼

This may be random. I had the "Subduer," boom box tossed in front of this dude so many times and never got it. Though once I upgraded it to the ultra more powerful perk. It unlocked.

Whoever has the knife over their head. They can see the boogieman but cannot harm him. A bit of hide and seek with your other members. Depending on the day/night cycle, this guy can sneak up right behind you in a turn so always try and pinpoint his location.

Mine wasn't upgraded. I'm not 100% on the exact requirement. I placed the subduer where the music was covering both the target and the boogie man, he had music notes over his head. He still moved right up to the target but didn't attack and then disappeared, achievement popped. It also popped for my co-op partner at the same time.

This seems to be broken. I have been careful to do this so many times with so many scenarios (the one who can see the Boogieman places the boombox and one who cannot places the boombox) - The person with the knife over his head goes last, doesn't seem to matter. I can see the Boogieman with the music symbols on his head during the Scientist round and he is CLEARLY inside the cone when the round changes over and still he just moves past it an attacks. This achievement seems very broken to me.

It seems he is only able to dance while he is making an attack, and even in this way it still seems chance based. So, the best scenario is to find a level like the Castle, or any other level with progress based enemy spawns, and wipe out all other enemies except the Boogieman. Then when he's the last one, throw down the Subdueler and sacrifice one of your scientists to him. Rinse and repeat until it pops. Took me 4 tries this way, after trying countless times without a scientist getting thwacked. You can also redeploy the Subdueler, in case you whiff a throw, but you will have to wait a turn for its cooldown after it gets used. I would also recommend bringing a Quantum Modifier to heal your scientists.
