Your Chronicle is a free text based idle RPG by Samurai Games, released on Steam on 4 April 2021 and also playable in a browser. You start in a village with a father telling you to be strong and save your mother, and you progress by spending Action points on button driven tasks like picking weeds and chopping wood. More than 3,000 story actions sit behind it, across 19 documented areas that run from the starting Village to the Akashic Record.
Boss fights are where Your Chronicle 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.

Village Bosses
Area difficulty: Easy Recommended level: Chapter 1, your first session Recommended build: Familiar Routine with Steel Sword
Strategy
The first bosses teach core combat mechanics. Focus on learning patterns rather than dealing damage. Almost every task spends Action, and looped tasks spend Stamina on top. This is your primary tool here.
Key tips:
- Don't rush. Learn the attack patterns first.
- Use Action and Stamina costs to create safe windows.
- Steel Sword is enough to handle everything here.
Forest Bosses
Area difficulty: Moderate Recommended level: First few hours Recommended build: Familiar Routine with Steel Sword
Strategy
Early game bosses test your understanding of Habit points and Routines. Players who skipped learning this mechanic will hit a wall here.
Key tips:
- Habit points and Routines is critical for these fights.
- Farm Steel Sword upgrades if you're struggling.
- Consider switching to Familiar Routine if your current setup isn't working.
Academic City Bosses
Area difficulty: Hard Recommended level: Mid game, after several Sacred Ritual ranks Recommended build: Energy Routine with Wooden Sword
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 Action and Stamina costs and Sacred Ritual ranking mastery.
- Wooden Sword makes a significant difference. Get it before attempting these.
- See our combat guide for advanced techniques.
Coastal City Bosses
Area difficulty: Very Hard Recommended level: Late-game Recommended build: Energy Routine with Wooden Sword
Strategy
Late-game bosses are serious challenges. Build optimization matters as much as mechanical skill.
Key tips:
- Make sure your build is fully optimized.
- Wooden Sword at max upgrade is recommended.
- Study each boss's attack patterns. Most have 2-3 phases.
Akashic Record Bosses
Area difficulty: Extreme Recommended level: Endgame, many resets in Recommended build: Energy Routine with Wooden Sword
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 Wooden Sword trivializes fights that seem impossible with weaker gear.
- Use Action and Stamina costs: 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.
