How to unlock Loop Hero's secret boss fight

Are you ready to unlock Loop Hero's secret boss fight? The secret bosses in Loop Hero are some of the hardest enemies in the entire game, but this fight is easily missed unless you follow specific steps. You can summon these enemies at any point in the game - some players have even reported accidentally stumbling into this fight, unsure of how they managed it.

While you can summon the boss portal at almost any time, it's highly recommended that you hold off on attempting this fight until you are very comfortable with the game. Definitely check out our Loop Hero beginners guide to get a better understanding before tackling the hardest boss fight Loop Hero has to offer.

The enemies that appear in this secret boss fight are actually named after the developers, which might explain why this battle is so difficult. Compared to the final boss in the game, the effects on these enemies are ridiculously overpowered and scale depending on how long you've played the game. Here's everything you need in order to summon Loop Hero's secret boss.

Loop Hero tips for beginners - what you should know before you play

If you're just getting started in Loop Hero, and are looking for some beginner tips and tricks, look no further. In case you haven't started your adventure yet, here's the situation: the world as we know it has been destroyed by The Lich, and it's our job to rebuild reality.

As the Loop Hero sets out on their expedition down a randomly generated path, you can place various cards down to adjust their adventure, and generate loot, resources, and enemies. These cards drop from monster encounters; they're drawn from a deck that you build before each outing. You won't get far by chucking down cards whenever you get them - the key is to manage the Loop Hero's adventure by feeding them a manageable diet of foes and buffing up the board to keep the regen coming.

If you wait until you complete a loop and arrive back at the camp to head back home, you'll leave with all your resources; if you decide to retreat mid-loop, you'll only keep 60% of them. Die, and you'll retain a meagre 30%, so it's important to play it safe.
