How to beat bosses

Every Pal and boss has an element, and each element is weak to one other. Bring Pals of the element the boss is weak to — your damage goes up noticeably.

See the full strong/weak chart in the element reference.

Each boss page shows its elemental weakness, a ready list of counter Pals, and where to find it on the map.

Before the fight, upgrade gear and spheres, stock up on healing and level up your combat Pals. For tower bosses this is critical.

A separate category is raid bosses that you summon by hand: build a Summoning Altar, insert the boss's summoning slab item and start the fight (they never spawn on the map). Winning drops a Large egg of the boss's element plus guaranteed rewards — Ancient Civilization Parts, a skill card and an EXP boost — and a bonus choice on top. Each one also has a tougher level-80 tier for group farming.

Who you can summon: Bellanoir (Dark, lvl 35), Bellanoir Libero (Dark, lvl 45), Blazamut Ryu (Dragon, lvl 55), Xenolord (Dark, lvl 65), Hartalis (Neutral, lvl 70) and Moon Lord (Neutral, lvl 50, a Terraria crossover). Check weaknesses, rewards and counter Pals in the boss catalog.
