Idle Boss Rush Achievement Guide – Boss Kill, Item Upgrade

Boss Kill Achievements

These are earned by defeating bosses multiple times. You’ll eventually unlock all of them just by playing, especially with idle and auto features.

Each boss has three kill milestones:

  • Kill 1x
  • Kill 100x
  • Kill 1000x (or variant)

Boss List:

  • Wormhole Worm – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Baronet Brat – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Snow Boar – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Papajonk – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Crystal Golem – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Hypnothreeck – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Baldog – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Rayjinn – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Toxlick – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Monsoonael – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Gargolag – 1 / 100 / 1000
  • Hexgaze – 1 / 50 / 400
  • Granodioroth – 1 / 20 / 100

Tip: No need to grind early. Focus on progression, and revisit bosses later using higher damage builds or resets for faster farming.


Item Upgrade Achievements

Smith Achievements (Material Upgrades)

Upgrade gear using boss drop materials.

  • Apprentice Smith – Upgrade an item to level 3

  • Master Smith – Upgrade an item to level 10
  • Master Smith (again) – Upgrade an item to level 15
  • Legendary Smith – Upgrade an item to level 20

Tip: Prioritize upgrading your main weapon or core armor early. Later in the game, you’ll be swimming in materials.


Enchanter Achievements (Duplicate Enhancements)

Upgrade equipment quality using duplicate items from boss drops.

  • Apprentice Enchanter – Enhance item to Great
  • Adept Enchanter – Enhance item to Epic
  • Master Enchanter – Enhance item to Legendary

Tip: Focus duplicates on gear you’re actively using. Avoid spreading them too thin across multiple pieces.

You’ll naturally get this through boss grinding. If you’re short, run lower-tier bosses that drop quickly and often.
