How to unlock the Man Without Equal achievement in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - GOTY Edition - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires you to kill all bosses - this does not include minibosses. A minimum of 2 playthroughs is required for this achievement. A majority of the bosses are mandatory and the 'Shura' ending has a unique final boss. There are also several late/end-game bosses that can only be fought when NOT doing the 'Shura' ending, as this is the only ending to which you must fully commit prior to the final cutscene. Full list below, lots of spoilers included.

Mandatory bosses are marked plainly as you will encounter them while playing through the game. Bold so there's no guessing required. Missable bosses have a location/conditional description. These are roughly in chronological order.

Gyoubu Oniwa Mandatory

Lady Butterfly (missable - hirata estate)

Genichiro Ashina Mandatory

Guardian Ape Mandatory

Folding Screen Monkeys Mandatory

Corrupted Monk Mandatory

Headless Ape (missable - Ashina Depths in the room immediately after the poison pool, must defeat guardian ape prior to encountering...mortal blade not required for some reason)

Great Shinobi - Owl Mandatory - in all non-Shura endings

Corrupted Monk - True Monk Mandatory - in all non-Shura endings

Divine Dragon Mandatory - in all non-Shura endings

Demon of Hatred (missable - Ashina Outskirts near the original gate pathway idol, only appears when the sculptor leaves after the castle is on fire in the end-game of non-Shura endings)

Sword Saint Isshin Mandatory - in all non-Shura endings

Owl (Father) (Mandatory for Purification ending, can also be encountered, although not mandatory, while doing Immortal Severance and Return endings if criteria for Purification are still met)

Emma, the Gentle Blade + Isshin Ashina Mandatory - in Shura ending only

Oh thank goodness this doesn’t include mini bosses. I was daunting this achievement because I really didn’t want to fight the Headless 500 times. Thanks for the guide!

Also you should use the word “missable” instead of “not mandatory” because it gives the impression that the bosses don’t have to be killed (unless you actually don’t have to kill them).

I like that clarification, I'll edit it. Thanks!

Basically, "bosses" are enemies who give battle memories for Sekiro to upgrade his Attack Power, so mini-bosses are not included.

In reply to the JeffreyTM, you should still kill the mini bosses for the prayer beads so regardless of the achievement, you will be daunting 100% completion 😂

@Gruber Hof Most mini bosses do drop prayer beads, but the Headless are one of the mini bosses who don’t. They’re pretty annoying to fight and require divine confetti which is already rare enough. Also if one were to miss killing a mini boss then they could still get the prayer bead by spending sen to buy it, so killing the mini bosses who drop the beads isn’t always required

I have all remnants on a single save file and all mini bosses defeated though no achievement. It's my last one, anyone have any ideas?

+1. Great guide.
@Black attack- are you sure that you have beaten both versions of Isshin, both versions of the gorilla, both versions of the monk, and both versions of owl?

I did all the bosses and the achievement never popped, all on one save file. I made a new save file and did them all again, and still no achievement :/

@Visions of Gore - Yeah, I have all remnants in my inventory (checked against guides). I’m playing through it again and hoping it will unlock.

You can go ahead and kill him, yeah. Mortal blade is for when an infested boss needs to get dealt with. They were just pointing out that you can fight and kill that boss without it, which is strange.

Just messed up and missed the second version of the owl. Can someone please confirm if this is done on one playthrough or if you can do it over two?

Slightly - it's impossible (that i know of) to fight all the bosses on one playthrough as 3 of the endings involve one set of fights, and the 4th involve another.

@archeim
You are right. When I first played the game from launch I did not know that there are different sets of bosses over multiple playthrough. Panicked and posted. Haha. Thanks for the clarity though!

Same issue with this chievo not popping, checked three times all bosses are done. I've done this game twice now, I've completed mine but my mates chievo in reference to this is not popping. Fuck doing another 2 playthroughs. In my eyes this game I've completed twice! Lol. P.s. Sorry Kaptin Darling for this broken chievo mate, I done everything else for ya tho lol

Has anyone had any luck having this unlock? I've read and done everything that is possible yet it still won't pop. All bosses (multiple remnants) and mini bosses done on the same save file.

If you get the Shura ending but use the cloud save manipulation to continue the game onward into a different ending the achievement will not unlock. I think because any record of you defeating Emma and Isshin was erased even though you have the achievement for killing them

So the best solution is to start from the scratch and kill all the bosses again ?

Do you HAVE to fight the owl again at the Hirata estate for this achievement. I already missed the special bell to go back to Hirata and was planning to fight Emma and Ishin on my second playthrough.
