The game features four bosses, but only three grant achievements: Two-Toed Tom, The Rougarou, and Huggin' Molly. For each of these three bosses, there are two achievements:

• Defeat the boss.
  
• Defeat the boss without taking damage.

Please note that it's not possible to use the 'Skip bosses' or 'Player invincibility' accessibility and difficulty options. However, you can switch to the lowest difficulty, or customize the difficulty and set the combat intensity to 'Very light'.

If you get hit while fighting a boss, quit to menu and load the last checkpoint.
