Bosses

Bosses are a much stronger variant of enemies. They have high health, high damage, and many attacks. They are also partly resistant to status effects: for example, negative effects inflicted on them expire 20% faster than normal.

There are currently thirteen bosses in the game: The Concierge, Conjunctivius, Mama Tick,^TBS the Time Keeper, the Giant,^RotG the Scarecrow,^FF the Hand of the King, the Servants,^TQatS the Queen,^TQatS a 5 BSC exclusive boss,^RotG and the Return to Castlevania DLC bosses.

This wiki is no longer updated so you can find the Death, Dracula, and Dracula - Final Form bosses on the official wiki at deadcells.wiki.gg.
