Sephiria is a top down action roguelite from TEAM HORAY, the studio behind Dungreed. You play a bunny climbing a demon filled tower to stop Bunnyville being wiped out on the Day of Destiny, and it left Early Access on 31 July 2026 after starting that run on 3 April 2025. A full climb covers six chapters, more than 60 enemy types and over 10 bosses, with six weapons carrying more than 50 upgrades each.
Boss fights are where Sephiria tests everything you've learned. This guide covers strategies for bosses across all areas, organized by progression order. For general combat techniques, see our combat guide.

Bunnyville Bosses
Area difficulty: Easy Recommended level: Between every run Recommended build: Critical strike build with Greatsword
Strategy
The first bosses teach core combat mechanics. Focus on learning patterns rather than dealing damage. Artifacts and Tablets share one inventory grid, and Tablets read whatever sits next to them. This is your primary tool here.
Key tips:
- Don't rush. Learn the attack patterns first.
- Use Artifact and Tablet inventory grid to create safe windows.
- Greatsword is enough to handle everything here.
The tower's six chapters Bosses
Area difficulty: Moderate Recommended level: Chapters 1 to 6, one full climb Recommended build: Critical strike build with Greatsword
Strategy
Early game bosses test your understanding of Six weapons with over 50 upgrades each. Players who skipped learning this mechanic will hit a wall here.
Key tips:
- Six weapons with over 50 upgrades each is critical for these fights.
- Farm Greatsword upgrades if you're struggling.
- Consider switching to Critical strike build if your current setup isn't working.
The Root node Bosses
Area difficulty: Hard Recommended level: Once per run Recommended build: Ice element build with Sword and Shield
Strategy
Mid-game bosses are the major skill check. They combine multiple mechanics and punish players who rely on a single strategy.
Key tips:
- You need both Artifact and Tablet inventory grid and Destiny Inscription meta progression mastery.
- Sword and Shield makes a significant difference. Get it before attempting these.
- See our combat guide for advanced techniques.
The Pocket Dimension Bosses
Area difficulty: Very Hard Recommended level: Mid run Recommended build: Ice element build with Sword and Shield
Strategy
Late-game bosses are serious challenges. Build optimization matters as much as mechanical skill.
Key tips:
- Make sure your build is fully optimized.
- Sword and Shield at max upgrade is recommended.
- Study each boss's attack patterns. Most have 2-3 phases.
Anvil nodes Bosses
Area difficulty: Extreme Recommended level: Available in every chapter Recommended build: Ice element build with Sword and Shield
Strategy
Endgame bosses are the ultimate test. They require mastery of all combat systems and an optimized build.
Key tips:
- Top-tier build with best-in-slot gear is mandatory.
- Master every mechanic. See our combat guide.
- These fights reward patience and pattern recognition above all else.
General Boss Tips
- Learn before you fight: Spend your first attempt observing attack patterns. Don't try to win on attempt one.
- Match your build: Some bosses favor certain builds over others. Don't be afraid to switch.
- Upgrade your equipment: A max-upgraded Sword and Shield trivializes fights that seem impossible with weaker gear.
- Use Artifact and Tablet inventory grid: The core combat mechanic is your best defensive tool in every boss fight.
- Check the walkthrough: Our walkthrough tells you when you're ready for each boss.
