Introduction

Welcome to the Saints Row Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus DLC Trophy Guide! Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus is the second DLC in Saints Row (2022). Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus is a battle royal arena where the player has to complete 4 different waves of enemy factions, each of which gives a perk reward. To access the Murder Circus, simply press Touchpad to open your phone and select the app to launch the DLC content. This will open up a menu with 4 different contestants. To get 100%, you need to reach level 8 and complete the final round with each contestant and kill Artemis’ final rival, Professor Genki, in a specific way. This trophy in particular is missable. More on this in the Just Like Old Times trophy description.

Step 1: Reach and Complete the Final Round with All 4 Contestants, Make a Back-Up Save Before Starting Artemis’ Final Run, Shoot Genki in His Groins

To reach and complete the final wave with all 4 contestants you first need to get to level 8 with each one of them. You level up by completing the caskets, opening chests, completing secondary objectives while in battle, and killing enemies in a specific way, such as with headshots. Once you’ve reached level 8 with a contestant, abort the mission and start it again, but this time complete it to be able to face the final rival. The final rival will always spawn during the last casket wave. It is highly recommended to unlock the Prodigy perk for 5,000 Boot Coins which allows you to gain XP twice as fast to significantly reduce the number of runs per contestant. With the perk enabled, you won’t have to do more than 2-3 runs per contestant. On your way to level 8 with all contestants, you’ll naturally unlock Gimme Five for reaching level 5 with all of them. The one thing you need to pay very close attention to is Just Like Old Times. This trophy is missable because it requires you to kill Artemis’ final rival Professor Genki in a specific way. If you don’t kill him the way the trophy wants you to, there are reports that he respawns very very rarely or doesn’t at all. As a precaution, make a back up save on the PS Cloud after reaching level 8 with Artemis and aborting the mission. More on Just Like Old Times on the related trophy description.

	Just Like Old Times Dispatch the professor with a shot to the groin.
MISSABLE First, you need to reach Level 8 with Artemis. When you have, abort the mission. Now, quit the game and make a backup save on the PS Cloud (PS5 Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data (PS5) > Console Storage > Upload to Cloud Storage). You can reload the save if you don’t unlock this trophy on your first try. Now, start a new Murder Circus run with Artemis and make sure you complete all 4 casket waves. Professor Genki will always spawn during the final casket, no matter which one you decide to keep for last. He’s very easy to spot as he wears a big cat mask. Alongside him, another 18 enemies will spawn. Make sure you first take these down so you’re left only with Genki. Once it’s just you and him, practice your shots by aiming at his groin. Don’t aim at his testicles, but slightly below them, directly at the inner thigh area below the testicles. Which thigh you pick doesn’t matter. Keep weakening him and if the shot that kills him lands on the groins, you’ll unlock this trophy immediately. If not, reload the save and try again. Unfortunately, because Genki only spawns during the last casket wave, you must replay through all the other three first.
