How to unlock the Annoying Mosquito achievement in Shadows of the Damned - Definitive Guide
At the beginning he will be flying around the bridge, notice the spotlight roughly in the middle of the bridge? That will help you see the boss, and let you see when he is attacking, and when to dodge ect, just shoot him as he comes close, but be ready to dodge when he breathes in, continue shooting, there are various things the boss will do, firstly he will shoot out some darkness feathers that turn on darkness, simply shoot all of the feathers with light shots to return the light.
The boss will also summon darkness crows to attack the spotlight, turning it off until there are all killed, just focus on killing them all, it will light up again when they are all dead, watch out for the boss though he will still be flying around and coming closer to attack, which is also harder to spot/predict/dodge if the spotlight is out, as you wont be able to see him breathing in or the parts of him to shoot.
First weak spot is on his chest, then two weak spots on either shoulder, after each one is destroyed he will shoot more dark feathers/crows and also attack more often up close, so just remember to dodge a lot.
After the shoulders are gone, he will land on the bridge, he will occasionally jump behind you, in which case run forward to create a bit of a distance, the weak spot is between his legs (lol?), dont let him get too close, he will still do his spit attack, so dodge backwards, keep shooting.
If he gets too close he will do a leap attack which does plenty of damage, so avoid at all costs.
Lots of ammo spawns all across the bridge. I used the teethgrinder, as it shoots the fastest, will depend on which guns you've upgraded but it worked pretty well.
Took a good 10 minutes so just take it slowly and dodge a lot.
Story related. Cannot be missed. Unlocks upon defeating Elliot.

Well that was unexpected, kind of.
First Phase
The entire boss battle will take place on this long bridge. Wait till "Stinky Crow" swoops back down towards the bridge so you can get some clear shots in. When he takes a huge breathe and tilts his head backwards, thats your cue to dodge his spike attack. Occassionally, he'll shoot two red feathers onto the bridge, turning everything into darkness. To get rid of it, fire a Light Shot at it to dispel it.
Second Phase
Once you've destroyed the core on his chest, he'll come back up, this time with a few new attacks. He may now hurl boulders at you, which will knock you off if you get hit. If that happens, repeatedly press to get back up. Occasionally, he'll now send smaller versions of himself to the lamp on the bridge, shadowing his figure. Get rid of them by using the torch. His weakpoints are now on his wings.
Third Phase
Finally, he'll now attack you on the bridge. Open up his stomach with a Light Shot to expose the red core. Dodge his claw attack. When he flies overhead you, press to do a 180 turn.

You will fight this boss in chapter 3-4. This fight is a fairly straight forward one and will be two phases. The first phase will require you to damage armour on Eliot's wings and then the wings themselves he only has two attacks where in he will shoot his feathers at you when he swoops in close to the bridge or throw a molten ball of lava at you, both of which you can negate damage completely by rolling until the attack is over and then continuing fire. It is best to use the SMG/teether for this fight as it has a large spread and high fire rate. When he lands on the bridge for phase two start off by using your light shot on his lower mid section until the blood core becomes visible. Once visible you can use the shotgun or the SMG to shoot at the core, he will swoop at you but rolling towards him as he attacks will make him fly past you turn around and continue shooting, You shouldn't even get hit using this method. Keep shooting until the core explodes and he dies.
We meet this monster in Act 3, Chapter 4. It is a huge bird. There is nothing complicated. The battle consists of 3 stages.
1) We run along the bridge and shoot at the active point on the bird’s body, dodging its attacks.
2) Now the weak point is the wings. We shoot them, also dodging attacks. Now feathers will be added, bringing darkness with them. We destroy them with light shots.
3) After shooting off the wings, the weak point will be....hmm...the causal place of this bird. Now she doesn't fly, but follows you across the bridge. We dodge and kill her. On the bridge, cartridges constantly respawn during the battle, so I think there will be no problems.
After killing the bird, we get a blue crystal, but there is not a weapon upgrade yet, but a card with a phone number. Everything will become clear soon.
