All Beast of Reincarnation bosses list

Beast of Reincarnation throws a veritable gauntlet of foes at players, ranging from the region‑specific Nushi bosses to the menacing Malefacts and even the occasional human adversary that lurks in the shadows.

Throughout the adventure, you’ll encounter many of these enemies repeatedly, with each rematch often unveiling new phases that raise the stakes and test your mastery of the game’s combat mechanics.

Because of this layered challenge, it pays to keep a mental catalogue of the bosses that lie ahead—knowing what awaits you lets you tailor your gear, tactics, and patience for the battles that matter most.

For those seeking deeper guidance on Emma and Koo’s journey, our dedicated Beast of Reincarnation walkthrough hub offers step‑by‑step support and strategic insights.

Below is an evolving list of the bosses you’ll face, along with crucial details that will shape how you approach each encounter.

One of the most pivotal mechanics to grasp is that many bosses, especially the Nushi, require multiple confrontations. The first fight typically covers the initial phase, while a subsequent battle forces you into a second phase that can feature additional health bars. In practice, this means a boss’s health is fully replenished at the start of the second phase, so you must remain vigilant until the fight is truly over.

Rangifer, the game’s inaugural Nushi, makes its debut in Chapter 1 within the Ogouchi Buffer Zone. Players will face the colossal wooden stag twice in the opening chapter: the first encounter introduces its initial phase mechanics, while the second battle reveals a second, more aggressive phase. Crucially, during the latter fight Rangifer splits into two distinct health bars—one for each phase—requiring players to exhaust both to secure victory. The boss returns in Chapter 5, again presenting a dual‑bar challenge that tests players’ endurance and strategy.

In Chapter 2, Emma confronts Lacerta, the second Nushi on her path. This formidable foe can inflict both Slow and Poison status effects, making it wise to equip Koo with an Antidote to counteract Poison. Lacerta wields a devastating tail swing and a razor‑sharp jaw attack, and at a pivotal moment will submerge beneath water to unleash a swarm of enemy mods. Quick elimination of these summoned foes is essential to prevent the battle from spiraling out of control.

Drawing inspiration from Rangifer’s strategy guide, players will encounter the formidable Lacerta twice in Chapter 2. In the second encounter, the boss splits into two distinct phases, each with its own health bar, and will flare a crimson glow once its health dips below half, signaling a surge in attack potency.

You’ll encounter the Nue Malefact repeatedly throughout the campaign. It first surfaces in the second flashback segment of Chapter 1, then evolves into a persistent nuisance during Chapter 3.

Fortunately, the Nue Malefact’s attack repertoire stays largely consistent across most battles. It typically unleashes a tail swipe, paw swipe, and lunge, and on occasion, a lightning bolt. Later encounters may also feature projectile assaults.

Since the Nue Malefact is vulnerable to poison, deploying Dokuzeri attacks with both Koo and Emma proves highly effective. Moreover, a noteworthy advantage emerges: damage inflicted on the Nue Malefact persists for most of Chapter 3, allowing cumulative impact.

The unfortunate twist is that the Nue Malefact is joined by an ally in its climactic Chapter 3 showdown. The Male Purifier mainly relies on close‑quarters strikes, yet he can also unleash hair‑themed attacks reminiscent of Emma. Fortunately, the duo alternates their assaults, allowing players to concentrate on a single boss for a stretch. Both enemies share a vulnerability to poison, simplifying loadout decisions.

In Chapter 4’s Stems segment, you’ll confront Taurus, a formidable Nushi. Its Achilles’ heel is acid damage, so it pays to equip any acid‑based ranged weapons—Acid Arrows, for instance—and to keep Koo’s Bottle of Acid ready. Because Taurus charges across the battlefield, landing a steady stream of ranged hits is essential; melee strikes become tricky as it darts around.

Taurus is encountered twice, with a distinct second phase and an additional health bar. During the first encounter, it lumbers forward, swiping with its horns—an opportune moment to harvest FP—lunges, sprouts underground branches to target Emma, and hurls explosive projectiles. In the second phase, it summons Golems and unleashes a new horn‑charging attack.

Although its movement pattern remains largely unchanged, Taurus’s attack tempo accelerates dramatically in the final phase, demanding players lock onto its rhythm to parry successfully.
