Peglin is a roguelike, so every run plays out differently, and losing ends it. You fire orbs into a pegboard to hurt the enemies and bosses in your way. The monsters you face come in three main kinds: regular foes, tougher minibosses, and a boss at the end of each act. Enemies take their own turn after yours, so every fight is a trade between the damage you deal and the damage you take, and knowing how each kind behaves helps you choose the right orbs and relics.

What Kinds of Enemies Are in Peglin
Most enemies are regular foes, and they come in families that share a look and a style. Slimes are common in the Forest, knights guard the Castle, and sappers and crystal creatures turn up in the Mines. Some of them fly, and each family moves and attacks in its own way, so a tactic that works on one may do little against another.
Minibosses are the tougher foes you meet along the way, and most of them come with a trick. Some shield the pegs around them, some call in helpers, and some break the normal rules of the board. They don't end an act the way a boss does, but they can drain your health fast if you walk in unprepared.
Bosses are the big fights at the end of each act, and beating one is how you move on. Many bring minions, which are smaller enemies that soak up the hits aimed at the boss. Several also change the board mid-fight, so the pegs you were counting on may be gone by your next shot.
How Enemies Attack and How Targeting Works
Each fight runs in rounds. You aim and fire your orbs, the foes they hit take damage, and then the enemies get their own turn to attack. Since your health is the limit, you have to keep their attacks in mind while you build up your damage.
The game picks your target at the start of each fight. It chooses the closest enemy and ranks enemies on the ground above flying ones, and in a boss fight the boss comes first. You can change the target by clicking an enemy or pressing Tab or Shift, but only while you are lining up a shot. Once an orb is in the air or the enemies are taking their turn, the target is locked, and if your target dies, the game picks a new one the same way.
A few enemies break these rules. Rod enemies, such as the Lightning Rods in the Castle and the Mines, always send your attacks to the front-most rod. The invisible miniboss turns off manual targeting, so every attack goes to the closest enemy.
Orbs decide who gets hit, too. Most orbs are thrown toward your target, so whatever stands in front of it takes the hit first. Targeting orbs skip that path and strike the chosen enemy directly, while some orbs hit every enemy on the board no matter who you picked.
Which Bosses You Face in Each Act
Every act ends with a boss, and which one you face depends on the act. The Forest ends with Avogadro, the Slime Boss, or Betsy the Leshy, and beating the Forest boss earns you a choice of relic.
The Castle's bosses are the Ballista Militia, the Demon Wall, and the Pigment of Imagination. The Mines hold Thesaurosus, the Super Sapper, and the Qaballistic Ruins, which are also called the Animated Ruins.
Act 4, The Core, ends with its own final boss, the Orbserver of Radia.
How to Beat Bosses in Peglin
Start by learning each boss's pattern, since most of them show you what is coming. The Ballista Militia loads its bolt the turn before it fires, Avogadro stays hidden behind the tree until it digs up beside you, and Thesaurosus repeats the same attack cycle for the whole fight. Once you know the rhythm, you can hold your strongest orbs for the moments the boss is exposed or about to strike.
Minions need a plan too. The Castle Janitors of the Ballista Militia and the Bushies of Betsy the Leshy soak up hits aimed at their boss, so you decide whether to clear them first or go straight for the boss. Targeting orbs, piercing orbs, and bombs are the usual tools for clearing a crowd. Pigment of Imagination's Malevolent Portraits turn the pegs in their columns dull, and the Spinfection they leave behind can overwhelm you if you clear them too often.
Timing and order matter as well. The Slime Boss gets far more dangerous once it engulfs you, so dealing heavy damage before that point is the smart play. With the Qaballistic Ruins, take the purple ruin down first, since it strengthens the others.
The Super Sapper resists regular bombs, so save your high-damage orbs for it and use bombs on the Sappers that keep arriving. Thesaurosus doesn't get stronger as the fight goes, so healing and sustain can carry you through it.
Which Bosses Are the Hardest in Peglin
The Demon Wall is a sharp difficulty spike. It moves forward slowly, and the knights standing in front of it are eaten if they survive long enough. Its attack can't be blocked, and if it reaches you, it swallows you, which is effectively instant death. So hit it early, before it closes in.
The Super Sapper is hard for a different reason. Its projectile can turn random pegs into Rigged Bombs each time it hits you, which can wreck your plans fast. It also keeps sending Sappers to block your shots, so the fight is about controlling the board as much as dealing damage.
The Orbserver of Radia is the toughest fight in a run. It has more than one phase, so the fight changes partway through, and it takes a strong build to win.
How Cruciball Changes Enemies and Bosses
Cruciball is a harder mode you unlock by beating the main game, and its levels unlock one after another. Each level stacks new changes on top of the earlier ones, and many of them make enemies tougher. Enemies and minibosses get tougher, minibosses hit harder, and regular battles can bring in extra enemies from the same area.
Bosses get tougher in their own ways. They gain health partway through the mode, and the final levels give each boss its own added difficulty, such as more frequent attacks, tougher minions, or forced targeting rules. Some bosses also change in specific ways, like the Ballista Militia firing faster.
FAQ
Which boss do you meet first in Peglin?
Avogadro is usually the first boss you meet, in the Forest. Defeating it wins the fight even if other enemies are still on the board, so you don't have to clear everything first.
Which Peglin bosses have achievements?
Several do. Defeating the Slime Boss earns End Of The Slime, Betsy the Leshy gives New Leshy on Life, and the Qaballistic Ruins give Won't Get Ruined Again. The Demon Wall unlocks All In All, and Pigment of Imagination earns Masterpieces In Pieces.
Does the Ballista Militia ever run out of defenders?
Yes. Its Castle Janitors are a limited supply, so if you can survive its bolts long enough, the Ballista runs out of them and is left open to direct hits. The bolts also damage any Janitor in their path, which helps thin the group out.
How do I stop the Super Sapper from wrecking my board?
Blind and Ballusion stop its projectile from hitting you, so no new Rigged Bombs appear. Ballwark and Puppet lower the damage, but they still let the bombs spawn.
