Transport Fever 2 is Urban Games' transport simulator, on Steam since 11 December 2019, covering rail, road, water and air from 1850 into the near future. It ships over 200 real vehicles drawn from Europe, America and Asia, three terrain types and more than ten production chains. The campaign is 18 missions across three chapters, listed at over 20 hours.
Boss fights are where Transport Fever 2 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.
Boss Difficulty Overview
Europe vehicle region Bosses
Area difficulty: Easy Recommended level: 1850 to near future Recommended build: Intercity passenger rail with Diesel and electric locomotives
Strategy
The first bosses teach core combat mechanics. Focus on learning patterns rather than dealing damage. An industry only produces while the whole chain moves, from raw material to factory to town. This is your primary tool here.
Key tips:
- Don't rush. Learn the attack patterns first.
- Use Production chains from raw to goods to create safe windows.
- Diesel and electric locomotives is enough to handle everything here.
America vehicle region Bosses
Area difficulty: Moderate Recommended level: 1850 to near future Recommended build: Intercity passenger rail with Diesel and electric locomotives
Strategy
Early game bosses test your understanding of Line and frequency management. Players who skipped learning this mechanic will hit a wall here.
Key tips:
- Line and frequency management is critical for these fights.
- Farm Diesel and electric locomotives upgrades if you're struggling.
- Consider switching to Intercity passenger rail if your current setup isn't working.
Asia vehicle region Bosses
Area difficulty: Hard Recommended level: 1850 to near future Recommended build: Bulk rail freight with Steam locomotives
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 Production chains from raw to goods and Rail signals and one way streets mastery.
- Steam locomotives makes a significant difference. Get it before attempting these.
- See our combat guide for advanced techniques.
Chapter I campaign, from 1850 Bosses
Area difficulty: Very Hard Recommended level: Missions 1 to 6, late 1800s Recommended build: Bulk rail freight with Steam locomotives
Strategy
Late-game bosses are serious challenges. Build optimization matters as much as mechanical skill.
Key tips:
- Make sure your build is fully optimized.
- Steam locomotives at max upgrade is recommended.
- Study each boss's attack patterns. Most have 2-3 phases.
Chapter III campaign, near future Bosses
Area difficulty: Extreme Recommended level: Missions 13 to 18 Recommended build: Bulk rail freight with Steam locomotives
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 Steam locomotives trivializes fights that seem impossible with weaker gear.
- Use Production chains from raw to goods: 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.
