Taming.io Bosses: Where They Spawn and What They Drop

Bosses in Taming.io are large, stationary enemies that appear on the minimap. They do not move, so you choose when to fight them. Each biome has its own bosses, and killing one is one of the fastest ways to gain gold, XP and new pets.

Bosses by biome

The map cycles through six biomes. Forest lasts 16 minutes and each of the others lasts 8. The official Taming.io wiki lists these bosses:

Biome	Bosses
Forest	Tree Boss (Trent), Dragon Egg, Gold Golem
Winter	Ice Dragon, Fir Tree Boss (Snow Trent), Ice Golem
Darkness	Mushroom Boss, Spectrum Boss, Haunted Trent
Desert	Rock Golem, Cactus Boss
Ocean	Octopus Boss
Volcano	Volcanic Golem, Fire Dragon

The Ice Dragon, Fire Dragon and Volcanic Golem are the only bosses with two types.

What a boss kill gives you

When a standard boss dies, it spawns three legendary baby animals you can tame and drops three chests with 14,000 gold each. The player who lands the kill also gets 20,000 gold, 4,000 to 6,000 XP for themselves and their pets, and 800 food. Those babies are often the only way to get certain pets, which is why many players hunt bosses with a team of strong pets.

Example: the Tree Boss

The Trent, a Plant-type Forest boss with 8,000 HP, was the first boss added to the game. It has two attacks: a 360-degree branch swing for 60 damage, and patches of thorns that slow and damage anything inside while healing the boss. As it loses health it calls in fairies: three adults at 75%, a boss fairy as well at 50%, and a boss fairy of each type at 25%. The wiki advises keeping Water and Rock pets away from it, since they take extra damage and feed its healing.

The Gold Golem

The Gold Golem is the Forest boss with the most health: 40,000 HP. It appears about once every six full biome cycles, or roughly every six hours. It hits everything around it with a slam and drops gold meteors that you can break for gold. It does not drop babies. Killing it takes the player straight to the maximum age with 100,000 gold and 15,000 XP, and its four chests hold Gold Golem body parts that are used to brew a potion that summons a tame Gold Golem.

Golden apples are a different thing

Golden apples are the game’s account currency, not a boss drop. You get them mostly by breaking chests (usually 2 per chest), from the daily reward, challenges and daily quests, or by buying them. They pay for cosmetics, pet chests, potions and clan totem upgrades. Ordinary apples are food and come from bushes and other food sources.

Before you fight a boss

• Bring food. Your health does not come back on its own.
• Place spikes next to the boss for extra damage, but expect it to break them.
• Keep turrets back, since boss ranged attacks can destroy them in one hit.
• Pick pets whose types are strong against the boss.

More detail on each boss is on the Taming.io wiki bosses page.
