This weekly boss battle guide includes the boss solution and the best shop purchases. Accessed from the Yum-Yum Desert (World 2) town this mechanic has your characters fight different bosses each week dealing damage based on their progression in different game elements.
With unique items in the boss shop, UI cosmetic rewards and misc bonuses that provide character buffs to your broader Idleon account for the week players should ensure they complete this weekly using the community created weekly boss spreadsheet below.

Weekly Boss Solution
Each weekly boss fight has an optimal solution which is an order of actions that maximises your damage against the boss and gives the highest odds of defeating them for a 5 skull score. Depending on the specific options each week this might maximise attack resets or different buffs before a large single attack.
The best source of the weekly boss solution is this Idleon weekly boss spreadsheet from the official Idleon Discord produced by the creators noted (share your appreciation on Discord for their incredible work).
This spreadsheet gives the best 5 skull order for the first boss kill of the week then an alternative solution that maximises trophies and misc bonuses which can be repeated daily to acquire extra shop trophies.
Weekly Battle Tips
These tips maximise the potential return from the World 2 boss battle:
- Balance Character Progress: Each weekly battle has 3 key themes (refer to the wiki) which influence the damage your characters deal. These themes include skilling levels, core stats (HP/MP/accuracy/defence/movement speed), class levels, quests completed and monster kills on Green Mushroom (W1), Crabcakes (W2), Rams (W3), Choccies (W4) and Stiltmoles (W5) which encourages balanced progression of all your account characters. Naturally all of these things should increase over time but can be focused on specific characters if you are having trouble with a particular weekly boss battle.
- Fight Daily For Trophies: To maximise the rewards in the shop remember to fight the boss with your daily attempt as this significantly increases the trophies earned compared to a single weekly attempt.
- Gold Pocketwatch Stacking: The Golden Pocketwatch is a unique item in the shop that triggers your daily reset including your boss battle attempt for that day. To optimise these I recommend players only use Golden Pocketwatches when the weekly boss battle has a high trophy amount as then every Golden Pocketwatch used will give lots of trophies for more Golden Pocketwatches.
Best Shop Purchases
This is my recommended order for spending trophies in the battle shop and information on each option. This does not include the cosmetic UIs as they offer no account benefit so only purchase these last if you care about different UI options.
| Shop Rewards (Trophy Cost) | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 Boss Battle Spillover Special Talent Book (25 Trophies) |
Increases drop rate for each difficulty (skull) of weekly boss battle defeated this week. | Drop rate is an important stat for rare items. This purchase can provide a random max level up to 100 for this special talent. As it can be expensive to get level 100 depending on your luck aim for 80+ initially before considering the other purchases below and eventually trying to get level 100 |
 Gold Pocketwatch (30 Trophies) |
Triggers daily bonuses and resets | The item you’ll purchase the most this is a significant increase to account progression by triggering a daily reset. Note this cannot be used during events. |
 Silver Pocketwatch (2 Trophies) |
Move your daily reset time by 15 minutes (forward or backwards) | A useful utility to purchase if you want to change your daily reset time to be more convenient with your real life schedule. |
 1,000 Statues (12 Trophies) |
Gives 1,000 statues of the type shown in game | Statues are eventually easy to farm but initially in World 2 1,000 statues are difficult to acquire and can have a notable impact to your account. I recommend only purchasing this once or twice for each statue type for the damage and skilling boosts available. |
 25 Killroy Skulls (25 Trophies) |
Adds skulls to Killroy | Similar to statues the Killroy Skulls have some value in World 2 as they are difficult to acquire. Eventually though this amount of skulls is tiny compared to what you can earn weekly so is less important. |
 100 Golden Food (12 Trophies) |
Gives 100 golden food of the type shown in game | Another purchase that like statues has some limited value initially when golden food is hard to obtain but later on reduces dramatically in effectiveness as it can be easily farmed. If the rotating gold food is useful then consider this purchase such as Golden Kebabs. |
 The Crow Perch (125 Trophies) |
Helmet | A helmet that lacks useful stats purchase this only for the cosmetic, Hat Rack (World 3) and Slab (World 5). |
 Pink Headband (999 Trophies) |
Helmet | A helmet that lacks useful stats purchase this only for the cosmetic, Hat Rack (World 3) and Slab (World 5). Historically this item was exceedingly rare and only available from Lavaflame2’s Twitch stream. |
 Bored To Death Special Talent Book (25 Trophies) |
Reduces the character respawn timer (boosts AFK survival) | This special talent has limited functionality as equipment and food already ensure players reach 100% survivability on monsters. |
