Description

The Chained Boss is a slow and tanky boss, similar to the Slow Boss. It has far more health than many enemies that come before it, but is also slow, making it a shield for enemies behind it.

The Chained Boss only appears in Golden mode, which is locked behind Sandbox mode. The Chained Boss used to be spawned from the Mystery Boss upon its death in Golden mode.

Strategy

• High DPS towers such as the Minigunner or Turret can easily defeat the Chained Boss.
  • The Ranger also works well against this enemy.
  • If needed, the Commander can decrease the firerate of these towers.
• Later on during the game, Chained Bosses spawn in hordes quite close to each other.
  • For this reason, splash damage towers such as the Rocketeer and Mortar are quite effective against it.

Trivia

• The Chained Boss was not considered a boss before being renamed in the MEGA Update as it was simply called the Chained.
• For a brief period of time, the Chained Boss actually appeared naturally in Fallen mode on a single wave. However, this was later changed to Giant Bosses.
  • The Uber Mystery also had a chance to summon in the Chained Boss in Fallen mode.
