How to unlock the Astrophobia achievement in Rogue Legacy - Definitive Guide

This achievement is for defeating the upgraded version of Herodotus in the Land of Darkness.

1) First, you have to defeat Herodotus in the Land of Darkness normally. I'd suggest a good build is one with PAD as you won't trigger the spiked floors in the room.

2) After beating him, you have to get the Herodotus's Obol for a shrine in the castle. This is a bit random so keep hunting. When you have it, die on purpose and leave the castle. Upon re-entering Charon will take the Obal from you and you can now access the boss.

3) Finally, find the boss room in the Land of Darkness again to fight the new EX version on the boss.

The boss plays like a game of Asteroids. You will be a Dragon and be able to fly all over the screen against two Slimes. Focus the red slime first as he is faster. Each fireball (You have unlimited MP) will split the blobs. Note that the screen scrolls infinitely just like a game of asteroids so you can go off the screen as well just like the slimes can. You can only take 3 hits but if you die you respawn outside the boos room ready to try again.

I'd say this is the easiest of all the EX bosses but still good luck!

Helpful tip. This achievement is currently glitched. If you kill the green slime first you will NOT unlock the achievement. So drill down the red one first.

Well damnit. I killed the green one first so I'm screwed. Achievement did not unlock for me.

Same here. I emailed the developer and they said a fix is already completed on their end and awaiting approval/certification. They also told me the fix would pop achievements automatically that have already been earned.

Shoutout to Koldsned for his guide giving you basically all the info needed for this fight. Just keep in mind this fight just like the others requires some RNG so don’t be discouraged if you can’t do it quickly, these bosses are meant to be very difficult. Good news being this boss is definitely the easiest one of the five. This video shows how I completed it for anyone who is more of a visual learner (spamming your fire balls can make it more difficult) nonetheless good luck everyone!

This boss fight is pretty easy. Just enter the room and go crazy with fireballs. Keep track of the blobs and you should be fine.

The asteroids refer to Astrodotus and Herodotus, the remixed versions of the fourth boss. In order to fight this remixed boss, you need to give Herodotus’ Obol to Charon. Herodotus' Obol is randomly acquired from Spiritual Shrines after you have defeated the regular version of Herodotus (see Blennophobia for information on fighting the original). Once you give the Obol to Charon, the boss door will reopen in the Land of Darkness.

You will earn this trophy once you have defeated Astrodotus and Herodotus. Unlike the original boss fight, you do not restart with a new character when you die against this boss. Instead you respawn right outside the boss room. Another difference is that you are given a specific character for this fight, so you can attempt this boss fight regardless of your level.

This fight is just like Asteroids. I recommend fighting the slimes one at a time, and strategically planning your shots. You cannot shoot straight upwards or downwards so you can get into a lot of trouble if you have too many slimes on screen.

*MISSABLE*

The reason I have flagged this achievement as missable is because there is no free roam or any way to access your playthrough again after you beat the final boss. Once you defeat the final boss, you'll be forced to start New Game+ immediately, and you will have to meet the requirements below all over again to get this achievement.

This achievement is for beating the remixed version of Herodotus. To access the remixed version of this boss, first you need to beat the standard version. Once done, you now need to find a Shrine Statue anywhere (on the current run or any subsequent run) and hope that the item you get from the Shrine is Herodotus's Obol. This is complete RNG, both with finding a Shrine and getting the Obol, but my experience was that the game was pretty good about granting you the Obol when you were after it. Just ensure that once you get the Obol, you don't accidentally replace it with a different item from a different Shrine. Once you die and are back outside, talk to Charon to give him the Obol. This will open the boss door for Herodotus in the Dungeon permanently (meaning on all subsequent runs, so you don't have to worry about beating it on this next run). Now, when you return to the boss door in the Dungeon and enter it, you'll be able to fight the remixed version, Astrodotus and Herodotus. Like all remixed boss fights, you play as a set character (so you don't need to wait until you level up more, and you can't build up your character to be stronger against the boss) and if you die, you're put right back outside the boss door with no penalty (you don't lose any money or progress, and can attempt again right away as many times as you want). 

This boss fight is the most unique one in the game, and probably the easiest. You play as a Dragon class, so you can fly, and the two bosses are flying around too, so the entire thing plays like the old arcade game Asteroids. You have two bosses to beat, and just like with the original fight, each time you destroy a blob it splits in two. All the little blobs will be flying around too then. Also, just like the game Asteroids, the screen wraps around from top to bottom and also side to side, giving you more room to dodge enemies. There aren't any Gravisors in this fight, so it's entirely about shooting enemies while dodging them. It'll likely take a couple tries, but that's it, and you shouldn't have many problems as long as you keep moving and take out enemies quickly. Once the boss is dead and you open the chest, you'll get a medallion piece and unlock this achievement.
