    Spoilers

    I feel I should also add that there is a reason this achievement is worth much more than the other boss achievements. This guy does not go down without a fight, to ensure that you kill him on a first playthrough of the game bring a rocket launcher!

    In chapter 3 - 3 there is a Rocket Launcher in the room right before you meet up with Ashley. Pick it up and save it for this fight or if you have a powerful gun you might not even need the rocket launcher.

    The actual fight occurs toward the end of chapter 4 - 1. You have to spill the liquid nitrogen on it first before you can hurt it. Well it appears I was misinformed, when frozen Verdugo will die in one shot from a rocket launcher.

    ArkhamRazorI completed Resident Evil 4 but don't have this achievement.

    Did I miss the fight somehow or is the achievement bugged?

    I would like to add something to the great solution above in case you want the achievement and safe ammo and your first aid sprays too: After the cutscene, in which Salazar throws you into the pit, save!! If you dont have the Rocket Launcher or if you used it already, buy it from the trader. Go on until you are in the section where Verdugo appears. Power on the elevator control and wait for Verdugo to show himself. Throw the liquid nitrogen and shot him 2 or 3 times with the Broken Butterfly (Its recommended to upgrade it before). After that, wait until the rolling shutter opens and run away to the next nitrogen bowl. Throw it and when Verdugo is freezed again, choose your rocket launcher and finish him off! The Achievement should pop immediately.

    Very important note: Don't Save here! Just reload your last checkpoint and continue playing like you want (Wait until the elevator is ready). You already earned the achievement so you can just avoid Verdugos attacks while pushing the shown buttons. Escape and you have the achievement and safed ammo and health too. You have to fight him twice this way, but especially in the higher difficulties, you are happy with every bullet you have. In the first battle (Where you kill him) it doesn't even matter how often you get hurt and heal yourself because you're not saving. This makes it even easier.
