How to unlock the Just Like Old Times achievement in Saints Row - Definitive Guide

The professor is Artemis's rival so you will need to get him to level 8. Make a save before attempting his rival run in case you mess up because bosses are seemingly randomized after beating the rival. Once you get to the professor take care of his minions 1st so you don't have to worry about them ruining your shot. Once you get it down to a 1v1 quick scope while you chip him down and when he is low try aiming at his crotch. It is a bit finicky so it may take a few attempts.

and what do you do if you do mess up or didn't read the achievement list prior to starting this?

I just started a new game on a different save file, so you don't lose all your progress. Not sure how far you need to play to be able to play this DLC. I will update once I get there or if someone beats me to it. And trust me, this will be faster. I played about 20 games after and did not get the professor once with my rng.

You might be able to just do more runs and hope you get him again since the bosses seem to be random after the rival run. But honestly it's probably quicker just to revert to an old save and redo the dlc.

Onto 12 runs now and still no Genki...and if you start a new game, you have to progress to "Aggressive Recruiting" main mission..which is around half way through the campaign: https://saintsrow.fandom.com/wiki/Aggressive_Recruiting ....terrible...

I'm probably going to just do a new game then and create a save before this time lol. I'd hate to finally get genki again and not get a groin shot.

I loaded and old save I had because i screwed up shooting genki in the groin, so i had to start the murder circus again with all my characters level 1 , I also put the difficulty on the easiest setting. Plus buying an upgrade for my main weapon (idk what it's called sorry ) dispatched some shielded enemies pretty fast . Also I turned off auto aim cuz sometimes trying to move the crosshair wasn't working and I think it gives you an easier chance of hitting the groin area.

Aim for the bottom of his belt buckle. I got the achievement with the starting gun, the Safari Express Rifle.

Does anyone know if it's possible to encounter him again? I have tried it like 30 times and still haven't seen him.

EDIT: 50 times and still no Genki. Just restart, the spawn rate of Genki is probably very low.

I messed this up first try and could never get him to respawn. I had to reload my last manual save file and level Artemis up to level 8 again. Once I hit level 8, I quit the DLC and saved my game. Still messed it up twice after this, but at least the boss spawned every time after loading my game each time.

Luckily I saw this achievement/guide just as I started Artemis. Thought my kill shot on Genki was a groin shot, but no achievement. That extra save file was clutch and got the achievement of the next attempt. Thank you for the guide & comments!

Hello All,

In this video I'm going to be shown you how to get the Just Like Old Times Achievement which is for Dispatching The Professor with a Groin Shot.

It's important that once you are close to the max level which is Lv8 make a manual save because if you mess up the groin shot you can just reload the save you made. If you didn't make a save and killed the professor the bosses are randomized.

Hope this guide helps thanks for watching smile

MISSABLE

The Professor (Genki) is the hidden final boss in the finale for Artemis, unlocked when he reaches level 8. During the fourth and final survival part of the finale he will appear along with a host of other enemies. I'd highly suggest backing up your save before completing this finale. This is because Genki can only be fought once as far as I'm aware, so if you kill him any other way than a shot to the groin you'll have to reload an old save or start a new one and get a bit into the game to reunlock the mode. To make matters worse, the game is rather particular about what counts as a groin shot so you can miss this even aiming for the groin.

For the strategy to get this trophy, first take out all of the enemies except Genki so he's alone. Now whittle down his health until it's pretty low, you can use your rifle to start with but switch to an SMG or Rifle if you have one once he's down to half his health. Once he has low health, aim for the bottom of his crotch area (so in the center between his legs) and hopefully it will register as a groin shot and award you this trophy. If not, you'll unfortunately have to reload a save and try again.

Before getting level 8, it’s better to save yourself, save yourself a lot of nerves and time. It’s not clear how the groin is counted. Professor Genki only appeared on Artemis, maybe it's just me.

ATTENTION! This trophy is missable. The Cat Professor is a unique boss only for the character Artemis Vandekogel. This boss will appear after activating the last Death Coffin in the arena, when Artemis is level 8. Be sure to make a control save of the game in a separate slot before the battle with the cat professor. After the first victory over the boss, there is practically zero chance of meeting him again. Plus, there is a possibility of simply missing the groin and accidentally killing another part of the body. ( Note from the author: After receiving the trophy, I played an additional five matches in the arena for Artemis, but I never met this boss a second time. ) Video guide (en) to help you learn how to get the trophy.
You can also pre-purchase the weapons “TOGO-13 Sniper Rifle” and “CG-338 Darkshot” if you first upgrade the characters Supreme Judge, Consuela Reis and Daniel Lee to level 8. This is a powerful weapon and in the future, playing as Artemis Vandekogel, the presence of an optical sight will make it easier to target the groin of the cat professor.

You can complete waves in the arena on Tourist difficulty. In the boot store, it is better to first buy all the blue skills with a special distinctive feature, which are active from the start of the match for all characters. After the first matches, you need to immediately buy the “Gifted” skill (additional experience), which will allow each character to quickly accumulate level 8 in 3-4 successfully completed matches. Next you can buy "Double Catch" (random skill in Doc's chests). Doc's chests can be from 3 to 5 on the map. After opening one chest, one random weapon drops out. Chests can be found by the cluster of enemies on the radar. After the first match in the arena, each character will have access to a blue passive skill that improves the character's main weapon: Supreme Judge > True Justice skill, Consuela Reis > Top Candidate skill, Daniel Lee > Super Fan skill, Artemis Vandekogel > skill "Large caliber" Purchase other skills and weapons as desired.

We select Artemis (the guy with a single-shot gun), pump him up to lvl 8. After this, we launch another entry into the death arena and the final boss will be the professor. He needs to be finished off with a shot to the groin.
Important! Save before entering, because... If you kill the professor, then in the next visits there will be other bosses.
