Garden Guardian not a "boss"?

[Esce]

Of course he is a boss in terms of difficulty.
But it seems that he does not count as a boss for the achievements. I got the kill-all-bosses achievement after the countess and before I killed him. Also the achievement for killing a boss with my last partymember and kill a boss with 4 afflicted heroes did not unlock.

Is this all because I can fight him over and over again?

Your explanation might as well be the right one.

Hm, I hoped to unlock these achievement on a easy way. Well a good reason to play a bit more.

i dont think any of the dlc stuff counts towards the base game achievements. not 100% sure though.

I don't own the DLCs, but as you can see on my profile, I've got the "Defeat all bosses" achievement. Only the bosses of Ruins, Weald, Warrens and Cove count (also maybe the Collector and Shambler)

Which means DLC bosses count.

I guess the number of "boss killed for the first time" is taken here. I saw this in other games, where the achievement is a number for the levels, but then later more levels where added, which means some can be skipped.

I guess they do count, but the total number of bosses wasn't raised.

To not get confusing i will break it down.
All the Areas have 2 bosses, like the witch and the cannon in the forest. Times 4 areas makes 8 bosses + 2 minibosses makes 10.
Then the DLC was added, giving you more bosses to beat. But the Achievemt is still given after 10 different bosses.
So if you killed the guardian first, he would have given it and not the countess

It is a nice idea, but I killed all bosses (exept the Guardian) in the game before beating the first Darkest Dungeon. That means all in all so many bosses were defeted: 8 area bosses + the crow + shambler + 3 in Crimson Court + Wulf + the Fanatic = 18 bosses for the achievement. The base game has 17.
It seems more that you have to defeat all area bosses but with the Crimson Court as a fifth area. With the Crimson Court not counting the Garden Guardian same as the crow or Wulf do not count for the forest.
