    As you approach the carriage on the Alchemist Bridge, you will meet the Mad Donkey who immediately recognizes who you are. During the fight, the Mad Donkey will move aggressively around the bridge doing 1-3 attacks per combo set. All attacks can be guarded unless the boss is glowing red.

    Note: Some players are reporting that killing the Mad Donkey with a backstab is not unlocking the achievement. This can easily be fixed in a patch since the game is linear and the Mad Donkey is a required boss. They can simply check your save progress, see that you are past the donkey, and force the achievement to pop when the game starts.

    • Overhead Slam: When the Mad Donkey lifts his sword over his head, be ready to dodge or block the upcoming forward slam.
    • Upward Slash: If the boss pulls the sword down to his right side, he will follow-up with an angled upward slash.
    • Side Swing: The Mad Donkey will swing his sword starting from his left shoulder at a downward angle.
    The key to defeating the Mad Donkey is to strafe counter-clockwise to expose the weak point on his back. Attack the weak spot to deal massive damage and get additional free hits.

    Darth TigoreThe achievement not unlocking is an easy fix for the developers. Since the game is linear and the Mad Donkey is required, they can simply check the save file, see that you are past the donkey, and force the achievement to unlock again when the game starts.

    KillipoThe way I beat him was to try until I could comfortably backstab him 2-3 times (plus whatever damage I wanted to deal when he was on the ground) then I used the electric abrasive late-fight and my Y move to finish him off easier.

    That way I avoided ending on a backstab, and you're more guaranteed to win at that point anyway (no wasted item) since your success doesn't rely so much on getting the "right" amount of backstabs in to finish him off.

    The best way to fight him and any other human Bosses is to wait and give Fatal Attack from behind. They always give you the opportunity (except maybe Robber Weasel boss).
