I had to do the same in order to acquire the one tied to Panic Attack. Thanks to SquiSquiSquidio for mentioning that it was the same for them and that videos on YouTube also show the real boss is hit in the same place as well. For Psychonauts 2 on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs Q&A question titled How to. UPDATE: This is unconfirmed however the real Panic attack I hit was the one on the far left when Panic attack splits for the first time the first time it appears. NOTE: It is also beneficial to turn off 'Narrative Combat' if you have the cheat turned on so you have more chances to hit it. As long as you don't kill the all the instances of panic attacks in the game you should still be able to get the achievement on your save file. Personally, I got it first try in the limited time section when you are first introduced to the boss, its just best to wait for it to split into 5 and just shoot the copy you think it is. This means if you missed this achievement on the first run through of the game you will need to start a new save file, play up to the 'PSI King's Sensorium' mission and try again.

The reason this achievement is missable is because if you kill all the Panic attacks that appear in the boss arenas for this level - whilst the enemy type appears in later levels the achievement only counts the Mini Boss versions in 'PSI King's Sensorium'.ĮDIT: People have reported unlocking the achievement in other levels but at some point in the story panic attacks don't appear again unlike the judges do for the Objection! achievement. Later in the level after your first encounter with it you should receive the 'Time Bubble' ability which slows objects and enemies down - which allows you to defeat the boss when it appears again. The 'Phantom attack' this achievement refers to is when it splits into 5 with only one of the copy's being real and you must use your PSI Blast to hit the correct copy to earn the achievement (Thanks to Mecandes if you lock on using PSI blast the real Panic attack should be targeted). (It was the 4th Brain level for me) You are introduced to an enemy type known as a Panic Attack which will first appear as a boss which will disappear after a set amount of time (Scripted in the story). *** Spoiler - click to reveal *** receiving a spare brain for Nick the mailman from the 'Research and development' building in the quarry once you are allowed to leave 'The Motherlobe' for the main story quest.
