How to unlock the The Cat and the Toad achievement in UnderMine - Definitive Guide
A warning about missability in the spoiler tag.
When you reach the locked gate in Gold Mine 4, you have to kill the two folks standing in front of it. Go for the one on the left first, as they will heal the soldier. You can't drop bombs unless you swing first, but they largely stand still, so you can swing once then drop a bomb and after only a few more swings they'll be done. The soldier will charge at you, so the best tactic, especially if you have no or few upgrades, is to swing once, and then jump away immediately. Repeat until dead, even if it takes several minutes. The key will drop when they're both dead and you'll be able to head down into Delvemore.

I've not been there yet, but when you say missable does it mean your character needs to die for you to try again? Or once the boss is dead are you blocked from going through the goldmines again?

Once you beat the boss, it remains dead on that save I think. I wasn't sure on the missable part, but I did this first, then killed the boss on another run, and now the boss is dead every new run so if I killed the boss first, I wouldn't have been able to get this achievement on this save file - would have to do a new save where the boss is alive for you to bypass it doing this method.

Just wanted to provide another easier solution to these "skip boss" achievements. If you are planning on beating the game you will be able to unlock all of these achievements without doing any of the required extra steps. As the bosses respawn on future runs but you have already maps and fast travel unlocked you can just use that to unlock the achievements.
Steps would be:
1. Beat the game first aka Lift the Summoning Stone.
2. Go back in to the mine.
3. Use the fast travel guy (room on top of the one where you start) and just teleport to specific floor - in this case: Dungeon.
That's it.

Doesn't work anymore - I can't unlock any of the boss skip achievements using this method after my first successful run.
