View source for Bosses

'''Bosses''' are a much stronger variant of [[enemies]] and serve as gates to the next set of biomes which are more difficult. They have high health and damage, and use a variety of attacks and combos. They are also partly resistant to [[status effects]]: for example, negative effects inflicted on them expire 20% faster than normal. <br>

Rewards for beating a boss is gold, random items and on higher [[Boss Stem Cells]] scroll fragments. Beating a boss without getting hit rewards a random Legendary item.

There are currently thirteen bosses in the game: the base game has the [[Concierge]], [[Conjunctivius]], the [[Time Keeper]] and the [[Hand of the King]].
* The Rise of the Giant{{DLC|ROTG}}, the first DLC adds the [[Giant]] and a true final boss, [[The Collector (5 BSC)|5 BSC exclusive boss]].

The paid DLCs aka. the "Road to the Sea" trilogy add an alternate path through the game with its own set of bosses and final boss.
* The Bad Seed{{DLC|TBS}} adds alternate first boss [[Mama Tick]].
* Fatal Falls{{DLC|FF}} adds alternate second boss the [[Scarecrow]].
* The Queen and the Sea{{DLC|QATS}} adds the alternate third boss the [[Servants]] and final boss the [[Queen]].
** The [[The Collector (5 BSC)|5 BSC exclusive boss]] cannot be reached via the [[Queen]].

The paid DLC Return to Castlevania{{DLC|RTC}} adds three more bosses, [[Death]], [[Dracula]] and alternate final boss [[Dracula - Final Form]].

Through runes and [[Boss Stem Cells]] alternate paths to bosses can be travelled and thus the player does not have to fight the same set of bosses every run.

In [[Boss Rush]] mode, bosses can be fought back to back without travelling through biomes and fighting enemies. And for players who want even more of a challenge, alternate buffed versions of bosses can be fought as well.

In the [[Training Room]] bosses that the player has already encountered can be fought for practice without doing runs.
