Recommended Builds for Bosses

Discover the best builds and strategies for tackling every boss in Death Howl. Optimize your gear, skills, and tactics to defeat even the toughest opponents.

This section provides recommended builds and strategies for defeating bosses in Death Howl. As Ro is not yet strong enough to face the dangers of The Howling Mountain, she must venture into the Realm of Piercing Winds. This realm is divided into three zones: The Breathing Chasm, The Hidden Vale, and The Glacial Maw. Players can enter through either The Breathing Chasm or The Hidden Vale, both accessible from The Meadows of Delusions. The walkthrough will proceed through The Breathing Chasm first.

The Breathing Chasm

• Activate the first Sacred Grove to reveal the map. It is recommended to grind Death Howl before entering to unlock cards and Teardrop upgrades.
• The Reap or Weep side quest involves retrieving a creature's lost eyes from a hidden cave. This cave is located near the northwestern Sacred Grove and contains enemies. The reward for completing this quest is the Opal Totem.
• The Two-Headed Spear hidden side quest requires finding two Spear Head quest cards. These are located near the entrance of the zone and below the northwestern Sacred Grove. Combining them in battle creates the Two-Headed Spear, which, after a subsequent battle, rewards the player with three Teardrop upgrade points.

The Hidden Vale

• To access The Hidden Vale, return to the Sacred Grove in the southwest section of The Breathing Chasm and head left.
• The first Sacred Grove in this zone is found after a Spirit encounter and an optional Elder Spirit encounter. Activating it reveals the map.
• The Laughing Face of Death side quest involves a Spirit that repeatedly jumps off a cliff. After resting at the Sacred Grove and interacting with the Spirit multiple times, the quest progresses.
