Section 01

Introduction

Boss encounters are the defining moments of each Floor of Evil.

Every climb ends in a boss battle that gates access to the next floor.

Section 02

What Makes Bosses Different

Bosses have far more health and hit much harder than regular enemies.

They appear alone at the end of a floor after all other enemies have been defeated.

Section 03

Boss Rewards

Defeating a boss grants progression rewards and unlocks the next floor.

Bosses are the primary path to advancing through Blade Rising.

Section 04

Progression Unlocks

Boss victories unlock additional systems as you climb.

Continued boss progress is the trigger for major long-term features becoming available.

Section 05

Tips for Defeating Bosses

Upgrade your gear and hires before tackling a boss you have not beaten yet.

Focus on Weak Points during the fight for massive damage windows.

If a boss remains impossible, Ascend for permanent Prestige power and try again.
