Overview
Carnitos is the third boss, reached after picking up the Cold Chisel and opening the boarded door at the top of the staircase above the dining room. Carnitos spawns smaller Carnito minions during the fight.
Standard fight
- Use the Cold Chisel to open the boarded door at the top of the staircase.
- Enter the Carnitos arena.
- Watch for the bottom-right corner — it's a blind spot for the boss's melee.
- Punish between whiffs; don't stand in front of Carnitos during its swing.
Butcheress achievement (Missable)
Defeat Carnitos without ever being hit. The strategy is:
- Stand at the bottom-right corner of the arena.
- Let Carnitos whiff its melee into the corner repeatedly.
- Punish only between attacks.
Stay in the corner for the entire fight — leaving it is how you take damage.
Valiant Little Taylor achievement (Missable)
After using the Chisel (i.e., during this fight), stack the Carnito-spawned enemies and kill at least 3 with a single hit. The cleanest setup is to back off into a corner until 3+ adds are clustered, then swing once.
Carnitos kills do not count for The Two Stooges achievement — that multi-kill requires other enemy types.
The Chisel pickup and the stairs above the dining room are on the full walkthrough; for the multi-kill rule, see combat strategy. The full achievement list is on achievements.
