Beyond the eight towers, the world is full of Alpha Pals (field bosses) and there are summonable raid bosses for endgame gear. Knowing what each type demands — and how to fight the two-health-bar tower bosses — keeps you from wasting a run.
Boss types
🗼 Tower Bosses
The eight Syndicate tower fights, plus the World Tree final boss, that gate progression — a human plus a giant Pal, with a strict time limit.
🐾 Alpha Pals
Oversized wild Pals dotted across the map; beat and capture them for strong, high-level team members.
💥 Raid Bosses
Summon Bellanoir (and her stronger Libero form) at a Summoning Altar for rare materials and schematics.
Beating tower bosses
- Bring the counter element and a ranged weapon — you'll out-damage the boss Pal while dodging.
- There's a time limit; don't over-dodge, and keep your active Pal attacking constantly.
- Strafe around the giant Pal's telegraphed slams and AoE; use pillars and terrain for cover.
- Pack healing items and a shield — a single big hit can end an under-geared run.
Alphas & raids
- Alpha Pals hit hard but can be captured — weaken and sphere them for an instant power upgrade.
- Raid bosses scale for co-op; bring several strong, condensed Pals and stock ammo.
- Farm raids for the best schematics and materials once you're at the level cap.
- Match your team's element to the target and swap Pals mid-fight as needed.
- New in v1.0.4 (7 September 2026): two sub-missions, "Beyond Dimensions", taken from an NPC at Fisherman's Point on Mount Obsidian, and "From the Far Side of the Moon", which it unlocks — the second one is a raid against a new boss, the Moon Lord. Not tracked here yet: nobody here has fought it.
Notable Alpha Pals
🐺 Early Alphas
Rushoar, Chillet and Direhowl are beatable early and make strong first team members.
🛠️ Anubis (desert)
A must-catch Alpha — a top Handiwork Pal, outranked there only by Solenne, and a top Ground fighter.
🐉 Endgame Alphas
Blazamut and other high-level Alphas drop big XP and rare materials once you can handle them.
The eight towers and the final boss, in order
| Tower | Boss | Level | Weak to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rayne Syndicate | Zoe & Grizzbolt | 10 | Ground |
| Free Pal Alliance | Lily & Lyleen | 20 (NextTier) · 25 (Vandal) | Fire |
| Brothers of the Eternal Pyre | Axel & Orserk | 30 (NextTier) · 40 (Vandal) | Ice, Ground |
| Tower of the PIDF | Marcus & Faleris | 40 (NextTier) · 45 (Vandal) | Water |
| PAL Genetic Research Unit | Victor & Shadowbeak | 50 | Dragon |
| Moonflower Clan (Sakurajima) | Saya & Selyne | 55 | Dragon |
| Feybreak Warriors (Feybreak) | Bjorn & Bastigor | 60 | Fire |
| Azure Covenant (Sunreach) | Auri & Shaolong | 68 | Electric, Ice |
| Sealed Sanctum (World Tree) | Zenara & Astralym | 80 | None |
Notable Alpha locations
- Anubis, a top Handiwork Pal, spawns at level 47 at the foot of the big statue in the Twilight Dunes; Grass-types like Verdash or Lyleen chew through its Ground typing fast.
- Frostallion roams freely once you reach the Astral Mountains' frozen lake, the same open way as the map's other free-roaming Legendaries. Jetragon doesn't: the 1.0 update moved its encounter off Mount Obsidian for good, to a fixed spot in the Sunreach sky islands — an older guide pointing you back to the volcano is out of date.
