- Confirmed opening: The Groundskeeper appears first in the Night Garden.

Well Dweller All Bosses: Roster Overview
The Well Dweller all bosses roster contains 13 boss or boss-style sequences. The title-card names are established by the demo build, while several late-game locations come from launch guide mapping. Treat the middle of the route as provisional until the released game has been fully checked in sequence.
The clearest progression points are the beginning and end. The Groundskeeper is the first named boss in the Night Garden. The Swarm follows in The Bog, and defeating it is associated with the Climb and Tent Travel abilities. Silver Doll is a late encounter in Queen's Castle, while The Queen closes the main boss route.
Video Highlights:
- The Groundskeeper appears in the demo's garden arena.
- The footage demonstrates a no-damage approach to the known demo boss.
- The encounter emphasizes reading attack timing before committing to damage.
| Boss | Reported area | Current confidence |
|---|---|---|
| The Groundskeeper | Night Garden | Strong opening placement |
| The Swarm | The Bog | Strong second placement |
| The Lady of the Drains | The Drains | Launch-guide placement |
| Lida the Terrible | Graven Valley | Launch-guide placement |
| Shrine of the Seven Sons | Midnight Drench | Launch-guide placement |
| Starsinger | The Lookout Tower | Launch-guide placement |
| Forest King | Autumn Forest | Launch-guide placement |
| Creature from the Deep | The Docks | Launch-guide placement |
| The Colony | The Depths or The Drains | Conflicting placement |
| Dollmaker's Mirror | Dollmaker's House | Launch-guide placement |
| Gravedigger | Burial Vault | Launch-guide placement |
| Silver Doll | Queen's Castle | Late-game placement |
| The Queen | Queen's Castle | Final encounter placement |
The Well Dweller boss reference records the 13 title cards and separates established build data from unconfirmed route information. That distinction matters when planning a first playthrough.
Do not treat storage order as boss order. The title cards prove the roster, but their file sequence does not establish when each fight occurs.
Boss Order and Progression Checkpoints
Only part of the complete sequence is currently settled. The Groundskeeper is the opening boss, followed by The Swarm. The Silver Doll is positioned near the end of the route, and The Queen is the final battle. The remaining encounters should be approached by area progression rather than by assuming a fixed list order.
The Swarm is especially important because its defeat is tied to major movement progression. The Climb and Tent Travel abilities can change how you revisit earlier areas and connect separated sections of the map. If your route feels blocked after the second boss, check whether you have fully explored the reward area before moving on.
| Progression point | Boss | Area | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening fight | The Groundskeeper | Night Garden | Establishes the first named boss encounter |
| Early progression | The Swarm | The Bog | Associated with Climb and Tent Travel |
| Mid-route group | Lady of the Drains, Lida, Shrine, Starsinger | Several areas | Order is not fully settled |
| Late-route group | Forest King, Creature, Colony, Dollmaker's Mirror, Gravedigger | Several areas | Use area exploration to determine sequence |
| Endgame approach | Silver Doll | Queen's Castle | Reported late in the route |
| Finale | The Queen | Queen's Castle | Reported final battle |
Opening Route

When the middle-game order is unclear, prioritize unexplored areas, movement upgrades, and locked paths instead of following the title-card sequence.
Step-by-Step Boss Route Method
Use this method to track the 13 encounters without spoiling every discovery at once. It is designed for players who want a reliable checklist while preserving exploration.
Record the Opening Boss
Enter the Night Garden and prepare for The Groundskeeper. Treat this encounter as the route's starting reference point rather than using the title-card storage order.
Confirm the Bog Progression
Continue toward The Bog and look for The Swarm. After the fight, verify whether Climb and Tent Travel have been added to your progression before leaving the region.
Explore by Region
For the middle of the game, use area names as your navigation guide: The Drains, Graven Valley, Midnight Drench, The Lookout Tower, Autumn Forest, and The Docks.
Track Unclear Placements
Mark The Colony carefully because available area references disagree between The Depths and The Drains. Keep the encounter name recorded even if its exact location is not yet confirmed.
Finish the Castle Route
Reach Queen's Castle for Silver Doll and then The Queen. The Queen is currently the reported final battle, with Silver Doll appearing earlier in the same late-game region.
| Step | Region or checkpoint | Tracking action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Night Garden | Mark The Groundskeeper defeated |
| 2 | The Bog | Record The Swarm and check movement rewards |
| 3 | Mid-game regions | Match discovered arenas to the roster |
| 4 | The Colony | Keep both reported area possibilities noted |
| 5 | Queen's Castle | Prepare for Silver Doll and The Queen |
A useful route log should record the boss name, arena, reward, and whether the encounter was a standard fight, chase, or escape sequence.
Encounter Types, Rewards, and Preparation
Not every boss-style sequence follows the same format. The known objective records include standard defeats, chase sections, escape objectives, and evasion encounters. This means preparation should cover movement and survival as well as direct damage.
The achievement records identify several defeat-focused encounters: Silver Doll, Gravedigger, Shrine of the Seven Sons, Starsinger, Lady of the Drains, The Swarm, and Forest King. Other objectives point to escaping Webdrench Inn, evading the Queen, and completing the final Queen battle.
| Objective style | Known encounters or goals | Preparation focus |
|---|---|---|
| Defeat encounter | Silver Doll, Gravedigger, Shrine of the Seven Sons | Learn attack timing and preserve healing resources |
| Swarm encounter | The Swarm | Maintain space and watch movement routes |
| Escape sequence | Webdrench Inn | Prioritize navigation and safe exits |
| Evasion sequence | The Queen | Read pursuit patterns and avoid unnecessary risks |
| Final battle | The Queen | Enter with route knowledge and a full preparation check |
Arena Reading
Identify safe ground, hazards, and escape lanes before attacking.
Movement
Keep mobility available for chase and evasion objectives.
Resource Control
Avoid spending every recovery option before the final phase.
Route Notes
Record arena names immediately so unclear placements are easier to resolve.
Before Each Boss Attempt:
- Confirm the current area and boss name
- Check available movement abilities and route exits
- Reserve recovery resources for later phases
- Identify whether the objective is defeat, escape, or evasion
- Update the roster after the encounter
The available records confirm objective categories, but they do not provide complete attack-pattern data for every encounter. Use the first attempt to identify the arena before committing to a damage plan.
Spoiler Roster and Verification Notes
The full title-card roster is now clear, but several details require careful labeling. Four names are especially notable because they are present in the build's boss-title data but do not appear in the cited achievement list: The Colony, Creature from the Deep, Dollmaker's Mirror, and Lida the Terrible.
A second Groundskeeper encounter is also present in the build. It uses a copy of the demo arena, confirming that the finished game includes another encounter with that boss. The available data does not establish when the rematch occurs, so it should not be assigned to a specific chapter without a verified playthrough.
Six boss objects also ship with finished artwork that is not linked to a packaged room. Because the build does not connect each image to a title card, artwork should not be used alone to identify a boss or determine its area.
| Verification category | What is established | What remains uncertain |
|---|---|---|
| Total count | 13 boss or boss-style sequences | Whether every sequence functions as a conventional fight |
| Title cards | All 13 names are present in the build | Their storage order is not progression order |
| Groundskeeper | Demo fight and second encounter are represented | Timing of the second encounter |
| Area mapping | Launch guides assign areas to all 13 names | The Colony's area is internally inconsistent |
| Artwork | Six boss objects include finished artwork | Image-to-title and room placement links |
| Boss rush | Reported for the Switch 2 edition | Availability and later platform plans require confirmation |
The published boss roster and evidence notes are useful for separating build text, achievement objectives, and guide-based area claims. For visual practice, the embedded no-damage demo footage is best treated as a Groundskeeper reference rather than a guide to every later boss.
