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

Throughout the castle are scattered special rooms. Once you locate them they are indicated with a purple symbol on your map. There are several types of special rooms, one of which is the miniboss room.

There are five different minibosses, each being a huge version of a normal monster with nastier moves. The minibosses don't have set regions, so you can encounter Botis in the main castle, tower, garden, or dungeon (for example). The minibosses are the only monsters in the rooms in which they appear. Whenever you clear a miniboss room a golden chest appears which contains awesome loot.

The minibosses are:
Barbatos & Amon, wizards that use every element
Berith & Halpas, bone-throwing skeletons
Botis, a spear knight
Doomvas, a painting. Looks just like all the other giant paintings.
Stolas & Focalor, plants

You must clear all five different miniboss rooms at least once each on one save file.

Sometimes this achievement doesn't pop right away. For me it popped after I died and went to the village with my next character.


Different characters and strategies work better or worse against different minibosses. The easiest class/miniboss combos are Botis and Stolas & Facalor, whom the Dragon can easily kill without being touched. Generally the easiest way to beat the skeletons is to get right in their face. Doomvas and the wizards, however, I don't have winning strategies for except to level up a lot and beat them to death...

Minibosses are randomly found in dungeons and will yield Gold chests when you defeat them. There are 5 different minibosses: 2 giant yellow skeletons (Berth & Halphas), 2 fast-moving plants (Stolas & Focalor), a massive portrait (Sallos), a giant spear-wielding knight (Botis) and 2 black mages (Amon & Barbatos). You need to defeat each of these groups of bosses to unlock the trophy.

Some players are reporting that this trophy isn’t unlocking once they have defeated all 5 minibosses. However, it seems that beating any regular boss will unlock the trophy.

This achievement is cumulative across your entire save file, meaning if you don't defeat all the minibosses on your first playthrough, you can mop this up in your NG+ playthrough.

There are a total of five minibosses that count for this achievement (there are other large versions of normal enemies, but they don't count as minibosses). Each one is indicated by a pink question mark on your map. They are:
 
  1. Stallos - a giant version of the fake paintings that rotate around when you hit them. This one takes up a large chunk of the screen while spinning around, and then also shoots projectiles in the four cardinal directions. It's best to stay in the center of the room so it spins around you. Jump and hit it with your sword while it's going up or down on the sides, and ensure you avoid the projectiles. Stay defensive with all of the projectiles that'll be flying around
  2. Botis - a giant version of the Knights that swing their swords to shoot projectiles at you. He has the same attacks as the small version - he either shoots projectiles or dashes at you, both of which are telegraphed pretty clearly. When he dashes, he always does three dashes in a row, so be prepared for that. When he shoots projectiles, he shoots five, so jump through the gaps in them and you should be fine. After each of his attacks, you should be able to get in a solid two or three hits before retreating to avoid his next attack
  3. Amon and Barbatos - a giant pair of the flying wizard enemies, except these two can each use any of the three possible elements: fireballs, ice ball explosion, or a stone spike from the ground. I found it best to make heavy use of the bottom areas on the far left and far right. Hide in those rooms to avoid their attacks, then pop out after each set of fireballs or ice explosions to hit one or both a few times. I would only retreat to those rooms to avoid the fire and ice. If it's a stone spike, just move aside and keep hitting them. Once one is dead, it becomes very easy to kill the other
  4. Berth and Halphas - a giant pair of the skeletons that throw bones at you. These are by far the easiest miniboss. Simply pick one, stand next to it, and just hit it over and over until it's dead, then repeat with the other. You should only have to move to dodge a bone every now and then, but in general they're really bad at hitting you
  5. Stolas and Focalor - a giant pair of the plants that shoot the green projectiles up in the air, both located on a platform at the top of the room. This is the toughest one, because their movements and all the projectiles can make it very chaotic. If you're strong enough or a Barbarian, you could just stand on the platform, tank their hits, and just hit them over and over until they die. Otherwise, stand under them, stick to one side of the room to make it easier to dodge projectiles, and jump up and hit them when they come to your side
You will assuredly encounter all five of these on one save file by the time you finish your two required playthroughs. If you find yourself down to one or two, when you encounter one, if you die and don't beat it, don't hesitate to use the Architect to lock the castle so you can quickly and easily head back to that room to attempt to defeat it again. As soon as you've killed the fifth one, this achievement will unlock.
