Dinoblade

Dinoblade Bosses

Verified full-game encounters, spoiler boundaries, and the route to Boss Rush.

Evidence status is shown on every entry. Official means first-party support; Corroborated means multiple current full-release records agree; Pending marks a name, spelling, or route conflict.

How many bosses are in Dinoblade?

This database lists 16 named boss encounters. Some videos advertise 18 bosses by counting Reaper & Shade separately and Maakyuurii’s two phases separately, so we use encounter count instead of presenting one disputed total as official.

What is Boss SP?

Boss SP upgrades and unlocks Soul Arts. The developer says mini-bosses award Boss SP, Alpha bosses award 3 Boss SP, and extra points can be found while exploring.
