Boss Guide
Conquer every challenge the Netherworld throws at you
Face bosses twisted by malevolent soul energy—fallen lords, once-noble knights, primordial demons, and entities lurking in the dimensional void. Each boss requires different strategies and mastery of game mechanics.
Universal Boss Strategies
Master Ghost Step
Place your Soul Companion in a safe spot before engaging. Ghost Step is your emergency escape for bullet-hell phases.
Learn Attack Patterns
Every boss has tells before attacks. Study their animations and dodge accordingly. Patience beats aggression.
Don't Get Greedy
Land a few hits, then be ready to dodge. Overcommitting to damage will get you killed.
Use Nether Lantern
Strike during enemy vulnerability windows to maximize stagger. A staggered boss is a safe boss.
Pre-stack Buffs
Build Warm Flow stacks (Mage) or buffs on regular enemies before boss fights. Enter at maximum power.
Manage Stamina
Always keep enough stamina for at least one dodge. Running out mid-fight is death.
