Butcher Hero Boss Tower
Boss Tower is the Titan arena of Butcher Hero. A portal opens after you collect the gems from the map bosses, and then you climb floors against six Titans, each with its own ability and its own weakness. You spend a daily ticket per raid, and every 10th floor is Empowered: it adds an ability and drops a Divine soul.
Opening the Portal
Boss Tower is not open at the start. The game says the portal becomes available when you collect gems from the map bosses and unleash the Titans. A hint on screen counts the gems, and in one video it reads 3 of 7. A full counter makes the game announce that the Titan's portal is unlocked.
Players say the portal stands near the healing pool in the first area. Three Titans open right away: Slime King, Primal Lava Crab and Vikings. The other three, Demonic Berserker, Vampire King and The Lich, open through Soul Tree upgrades, and the Soul Tree itself opens after you kill the Legendary Dragon.
Floors and Empowered Bosses
You fight each Titan floor by floor, and every Titan has his own floor counter. In one video the tower list shows Vikings on floor 13 and Demonic Berserker on floor 12, with Vampire King and the Lich still at the bottom. Each fight has a timer, and the boss health grows with every floor. The Primal Lava Crab bar read 7.97M on floor 3 in one video.
Every 10th floor is Empowered. The game warns that the Titan on that floor has an additional ability, and the table below lists each elite ability. That floor drops a special Divine soul, while the others drop a Legendary one. After a loss, the game suggests raising stats or swapping gear before you retry.
Tickets and Daily Limit
Boss Tower tickets regenerate daily, and the game itself says to spend them every day. When you reach the limit, a Daily Limit Reached message appears. Three Soul Tree upgrades raise your maximum number of Boss Tickets, and the daily Soul Pass reward gives 3 Boss Tickets and 1 Legendary soul.
The practical rule from players: attack the bosses you can beat, and once you hit a floor you cannot beat, spend your tickets on raids instead. That way the daily refill is never wasted. The Soul Tree guide shows where the ticket upgrades sit.
Raids
A raid replays a floor you have already beaten and hands out its rewards with no fight, for one ticket. The boss has to fall once in a real fight before his raid unlocks. You also pick which item type to prioritize next, and higher floors make the raids worth more.
Weakened Boss of the Day
The tower list marks one Titan as Weakened, and the game says the Weakened boss changes every day. The weakened Titan takes a debuff, and two nodes in the Soul Tree make that debuff stronger. If a floor is out of reach, look at who is weakened today before you spend a ticket.

Players say tower bosses have no weapon-type weakness, and they advise picking the weapon whose ability fits the Titan. The game's own advice points the same way: your items' abilities can team up with the weaknesses of tower bosses. The best weapons page and the best builds page help match items to the fight.
Boss Tower Video
The video follows the Titan portal opening, the first Boss Tower fights and the special souls: the gem counter, the Titan list, the arena with its timer and the reward screen.
Rewards and Souls
Equipment drops from every boss, and the screen after a fight lists it. The soul depends on the floor: Legendary on ordinary ones and Divine on every 10th. Souls are the currency of the Soul Tree, so every Titan you beat feeds the tree. The equipment guide explains rarities, and the gems guide covers the other currency of the game.
Player reports name some drops by Titan: hammers from Slime King, Cogsmith gear from Vampire King and Runekeeper gear from the Lich. Treat these as hints, since each boss drops a wide pool of equipment.
Soul Tree Upgrades for the Tower
The Soul Tree has several upgrades that only work in Boss Tower. The table groups them by effect.
| Upgrade type | Upgrades | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Boss Tickets | 3 | Each upgrade raises your maximum Boss Tickets. |
| Tower Damage | 3 | Each upgrade raises the damage you deal in Boss Tower. |
| Tower Damage Reduction | 3 | Each upgrade lowers the damage you take in Boss Tower. |
| Boss Weakness | 2 | Each upgrade raises the daily Boss Weakness debuff. |
| Tower Item Drops | 2 | Each upgrade raises the equipment drop of every Boss Tower boss. |
| Legendary Drop for one boss | 6 | One upgrade per Titan adds 1 Legendary equipment drop for that Titan. |
| Legendary Drop for all bosses | 1 | One upgrade adds 1 Legendary equipment drop for all Boss Tower bosses. |

Boss Hunt Event
Boss Tower is not the only place with bosses. The Boss Hunt event asks you to defeat 15 bosses to progress to the next league, and the reward improves for every boss you defeat. Crystals give you a boost against event mobs, so bring your Demonic Crystals. See the events page for the full event.
A recent update added four new bosses to the event, each with its own fighting style: an ancient forest guardian, a dark knight, a pirate brute and a fierce troll. The update also made event rewards richer: souls, Geodes, magic dust and enchantment stones are in the reward pool, and Mythic items can drop. Each time the event starts, a random boost that changes the game rules is selected.

Boss Tower Tips
- Match the ability, not the reward. The weapon a Titan drops is not his weakness, so choose items whose abilities work against his mechanic.
- Spend tickets every day. They refill daily, and a raid on a beaten floor is the best use once a higher floor is out of reach.
- Win Empowered floors yourself. A raid never gives a soul, and only a real fight on every 10th floor drops a Divine soul.
- Check the weakened boss before a hard attempt, and buy the debuff upgrades in the Soul Tree.
- Raise stats first. The game's own advice after a loss is to upgrade stats or change equipment, and the stats guide shows which stats matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I unlock Boss Tower in Butcher Hero?
Collect the gems from the map bosses. The game shows a gem counter, and when it is full it announces that the Titan portal is unlocked. Players say the portal stands near the healing pool in the first area. Three Titans open at once: Slime King, Primal Lava Crab and Vikings. The other three open through Soul Tree upgrades.
How many floors does Boss Tower have?
Each Titan has its own floor counter, and every 10th floor is Empowered. A player reports reaching floor 30, so the tower goes well beyond 20 floors. A Boss Tower fight also has a timer, so a floor you cannot finish in time needs better stats or gear before the next try.
How do Boss Tower tickets work?
Tickets regenerate daily, so the game tells you to spend them every day. You spend one on a raid, and a Daily Limit Reached message appears when you run out. Soul Tree upgrades raise your maximum tickets, and the daily Soul Pass reward includes 3 Boss Tickets and 1 Legendary soul.
What is a raid in Boss Tower?
A raid repeats a floor you already beat and gives its rewards without a fight. The boss must fall in a real fight first. A raid lets you choose which item type to prioritize next, but it never grants a soul. Climbing higher floors makes the raids more rewarding.
Do Boss Tower bosses have a weapon weakness?
Players say they do not. The weakness is an ability bonus, and it pays off when your items interact with it, for example Marks against Slime King or Lightning against Vampire King. Tips shown in the game also link item abilities to tower weaknesses, so pick weapons by their abilities, not by their damage type.
What do Boss Tower bosses drop?
Every boss drops equipment. Souls depend on the floor: a Legendary soul from ordinary floors and a Divine soul from each 10th. Soul Tree nodes add Legendary equipment drops, for one Titan or for all of them. Raids replay the floor rewards but never pay a soul.
