The First Berserker: Khazan, like many Soulslike experiences before it, combines dangerous exploration with extraordinarly difficult enemies and bosses to fell, ensuring that genre fans have plenty to keep them busy for upwards of 40 hours. And if those ultra-challenging bosses are your main draw, you may be curious how many you’ll come across during your journey through the game’s dark and twisted world. The goal is to be prepared, after all, so we can’t blame you for wanting to know.
Well, look no further. Here’s how many bosses are in The First Berserker: Khazan and where you’ll find them all.
All bosses in The First Berserker: Khazan
There are a total of 16 main bosses to face off against in The First Berserker: Khazan, as well as an even larger selection of optional bosses encountered in bonus missions, which you’ll unlock by having discussions with NPCs around the Crevice (the game’s hub), collecting certain special items, or completing specific tasks.
Below is a list of all main and optional bosses, as well as the mission in which they’re encountered. Needless to say, spoilers await you beyond this point.
