    Alright you don't actually need to fight any optional bosses like Nightmare Zero, Dynamo or High Max. Basically you beat any of the Mavericks, it should trigger changes in some of their stages. Thankfully, I found a great video guide that I will help explain what to do.


    You need to play in this order without facing any optional bosses for this to work. Otherwise the order will change making getting this trophy trickier. I also recommend saving after you are sure one of the Mavericks is defeated. I kept doing that during the entire process to making it easier for myself.

    Amazon Area
    Laser Institute
    North Pole Area
    Recycle Lab
    Magma Area
    Weapon Center
    Inami Temple
    Central Museum

    If you did this correctly go back to Laser Institute. There should be a box you haven't seen before just wait for the trophy to appear. Now yes you are facing all eight Mavericks with seven of their stages being more difficult.

    Some of these changes are doable while others like parts of the ground being covered with ice in Recycle Lab can be challenging. The entire point of this trophy is test your skills to see if you can do these harder versions of stages without optional bosses.

    One more thing, Weapon Center don't enter the portal after defeating the mini boss twice. Instead go right you should be fine from there. Also in Central Museum don't use any portals at all. Most of them will alter your path to some degree that leads to one of the optional bosses instead.

    I recommend you practice some of these stages with and without these changes before hand. Most of these are to limit how you go about things. This usually affects particular sections within the stages. None of this actually affects the Maverick boss fights.

    I hope this helps anyone struggling to get this or actually thought it was about facing Nightmare Zero more than once. This trophy was never about facing Nightmare Zero. Otherwise, you might have some trial & errors especially with Recycle Lab.

    I just remembered something about Recycle Lab. Right after the second section you avoid being crush. There should be a ladder facing down. Do not go towards the left otherwise you will go to a dead end. Although, a tricky to get piece of an armor system is there. This is the only portal in the entire process you need to take.

    I should point out, if you also need to get What's Special about SA? trophy. You are likely going to get it during this process. I ended up getting it the second time around Inami Temple. Beyond all of that, have fun attempting a challenge like this.
