TAIKU MANSION is a point and click horror puzzle game from KITATUS STUDIOS, published by My Way Games and on Steam since 13 February 2017. A voicemail from a friend who died five years earlier sends you to the mansion, the front door jams shut behind you, and a voice demands your death unless you get out by dawn. It is short, strictly linear, and sits near 60 percent positive across fewer than 100 Steam reviews.
Boss fights are where TAIKU MANSION 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.

Area difficulty: Easy Recommended level: Opening minutes Recommended build: Screenshot mapper with The piano

The first bosses teach core combat mechanics. Focus on learning patterns rather than dealing damage. Movement runs through a simplified click interface rather than free walking, and the store copy openly credits classic text adventure structure. This is your primary tool here.
Key tips:
- Don't rush. Learn the attack patterns first.
- Use Point and click room navigation to create safe windows.
- The piano is enough to handle everything here.
