Each Campaign area ends with a boss guarding the exit. They're the climactic spikes of a run — high HP, heavy
hits, and they summon reinforcements throughout the fight. Beat all five and the rooftop reveals
a secret finale after the boss you assumed was the end.
Spoiler warning. The two finale bosses below are the game's hidden ending. Stop here
if you'd rather discover the rooftop yourself.
HP values are the boss's base. In play they're multiplied by the difficulty setting and a
boss-specific scaler, and they ramp further with Campaign progress — late bosses outpace the waves around them.
Treat the numbers as relative menace.
The Campaign Chain
The Brute King
Area 1 · Test Chamber · the first boss
BossSummons Runners
Your first wall — a colossal Brute that periodically calls in packs of Runners (3 at a time)
to harass you while it lumbers in. It's slow, so the fight is about not getting pinned between the King and its
summons. Kite wide, gun down each Runner pack as it arrives, and chip the King on the way past. Faced right after
the fists-only warm-up, so it's tuned as a gentle introduction to boss fights.

The Spitter Queen
Area 2 · Vat Halls
BossBurst ×3Summons Spitters
A ranged zoner that fires fast 3-shot acid bursts from long range and seeds the arena with extra
Spitters. The danger is crossfire — the Queen and her brood pepper you from multiple angles at
once. Use the Vat Halls' pillars as cover, break line-of-sight, and dash through the bursts to close and burn her
down. Kill the summoned Spitters so the angles don't stack up.

The Warlord
Area 3 · Staff Lounge
BossFast chargerSummons Bombers
A change of pace: the Warlord is a fast melee charger (speed 80, the quickest boss) that hits
like a truck and spawns Bombers to corner you. You can't simply outrun it the way you do the
slower bosses — you have to use the dash to break its approach and keep obstacles between you. Detonate the Bombers
at range so you're never caught between an explosion and a charge.

The Necromancer
Area 4 · Patient Ward
BossBurst ×4Summons Zombies ×5
The original Campaign capstone — a relentless summoner that raises five Zombies at a time on a
fast timer while throwing 4-shot projectile bursts. Left unchecked, the arena drowns in undead. This is a
DPS-and-discipline check: you need enough firepower (and ideally an area weapon) to clear the adds faster than
they're raised, while never letting the projectile bursts and the horde pin you in a corner.

The Overseer
Area 5 · Rooftop Evac · the "final" boss
BossShielded 25%Burst ×5
You reach the rooftop, the evac bird is inbound, and the Overseer drops in — a shielded ranged
zoner that takes 25% less damage, hammers 5-shot projectile volleys, and summons Brood
(which split into Spawnlings). It looks like the end of the game. It isn't. Beating the Overseer is what
triggers the secret finale — so come into this fight with ammo and health to spare.

The Secret Finale
Slay the Overseer and the rooftop doesn't end — the floor reveals what containment was really hiding. Two more
bosses chain back-to-back with no shop in between, so your loadout going into the Overseer is the loadout you finish
the game with. These are hand-tuned to be the hardest fights in CUBEHEAD.
Subject Zero
Rooftop finale · 2nd of 3
SecretBossBurst ×5
The original infected — patient zero of the whole outbreak.
A fast, armed brute-fiend: it moves quickly (speed 74), fires 5-shot bursts, and summons Archdevils
×2 — each a mini-boss in its own right. The combination of a mobile hard-hitter and elite ranged adds is
brutal. Save your heaviest single-target weapon (Railgun) and your panic tools (Rocket, Barrels) for this. Kill
the Archdevils first or their bursts will overwhelm you.

The Progenitor
Rooftop finale · the true final boss
Secret · FinalShielded 18%Burst ×6
The source. The thing every other monster came from.
The colossal final wall — the biggest body in the game, 3400 base HP, an 18% damage shield, devastating 6-shot
projectile volleys, and a steady stream of summoned Brood ×3. There's no trick that skips it;
it's an endurance test of everything you've learned: kite the splitting adds, dash through the volleys, and grind
the Progenitor down between clears. Drop it and you've cleared the Campaign.

The Devil Lord
Appears in Endless mode
EndlessBurst ×5Summons Archdevils
A horned ranged overlord that doesn't appear in the Campaign chain but turns up as a boss in
Endless mode's generated arenas. Fast for a boss, fires 5-shot fireball bursts
from long range, and summons Archdevils. Same playbook as the other ranged bosses: break
line-of-sight, clear the elite adds, and close the distance in dashes.
