| Name | Type | Description | Location | Difficulty | Phases | Rewards | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Megaera | Fury | The eldest Fury and the most common Tartarus boss. | Tartarus | Introductory boss, punishes greed | Single phase with a mid-fight wing dash cycle | Darkness, Gemstones and progress toward the Furies' bond tracks | End of Tartarus |
| Alecto | Fury | The Fury of anger, who alternates Megaera's slot in Tartarus. | Tartarus | Higher than Megaera, more aggressive | Single phase with rage windows | Darkness, Gemstones and Fury bond progress | End of Tartarus (rotating boss) |
| Tisiphone | Fury | The Fury of vengeance, who fights with erratic dashes and screaming lunges. | Tartarus | Unpredictable, punishes bad positioning | Single phase | Darkness, Gemstones and Fury bond progress | End of Tartarus (rotating boss) |
| Bone Hydra (Lernie) | Serpent | A skeletal hydra that fights from a lava island and rotates between heads with different attacks: sweeping bites, projectile volleys and summoning adds. | Asphodel | Mid-run boss, tests area damage | Multiple heads, then an enraged final head | Darkness, Gemstones, Titan Blood on first clears | End of Asphodel |
| Theseus and Asterius | Champions | The Elysium champion and his Minotaur partner fight as a pair. | Elysium | Hardest biome boss before the finale | Two enemies at once, Theseus calls divine aid at low health | Darkness, Gemstones and Elysium champion bond progress | End of Elysium |
| Asterius (solo rematch) | Minotaur | Later runs can put Zagreus against Asterius alone in a straight duel with no Theseus to manage. | Elysium | Moderate, pure duel | Single phase | Darkness and Asterius bond progress | Elysium gauntlet |
| Hades | Final Boss | The god of the dead himself, fighting with a giant blade, wide sweeping attacks and a summon that fills the arena with minions. | Hades' Arena | The hardest fight in the game | Two phases, with summoned minions in the second | Completion of the run and story progress | End of a completed run |
| Charon, the Ferryman | Secret Boss | The ferryman of the Styx is not part of the escape route: he is the shopkeeper who rows Zagreus across the river, and the fight only starts if the player takes his obol purse in the Temple of Styx instead of paying him. | Temple of Styx | Optional and deliberately hard, scaled above the biome it hides in | Single long phase built on wide oar sweeps and river-fire projectiles | A large payout of Obols from his purse, plus unique dialogue and a bond track | Temple of Styx, triggered by taking Charon's purse |
| Extreme Measures Boss Variants | Pact of Punishment | The Extreme Measures condition on the Pact of Punishment rewrites each boss fight. | All biomes | Scaling, up to the hardest content in the game | Adds new phases and mechanics to every boss | Increased Heat bounties and unique dialogue | Pact of Punishment, Extreme Measures ranks 1 to 4 |
