There are special talismans connected to the bosses you can get from the archangel rooms after beating the normal versions. Once you get one, kill yourself and give that tailisman to the gatekeeper and go to the area where that boss was before. You'll fight a much stronger version of that boss with a predetermined character.

If you're on ng+, I'm pretty sure you'll have to beat them again in order to get their tailsmans, but I'm not sure about that.

Yes, he will have to.

To do the neo bosses you need to get special "Obols" from the prayer statues. Charon will take them and you will unlock the optional bosses.
