Unlock the final fight, gather Titan Essence, and survive the triple threat
To fight the Titans in Monster Train 2, you need to unlock all 9 Pyre Hearts, complete three challenge boss fights in one run, and collect Titan Essence from each. Once you do, beating Seraph won’t end the run... it will trigger the real final battle.
Here’s how to make that happen and actually survive it.
Unlock All 9 Pyre Hearts First
Before anything else, you need all 9 Pyre Hearts unlocked.
These are tied to specific goals, kind of like progression milestones. You’ll unlock them just by completing runs and meeting certain in-game conditions.
Once you get the ninth Pyre Heart, you’ll unlock the “Wait, There’s More?” achievement. That means you’re now eligible to face the Titans... but you’re still not there yet.
Accept and Win All 3 Challenge Boss Fights
With all 9 Pyre Hearts unlocked, the game will start offering bonus challenges during certain boss fights.
You’ll see these when facing:
The Bird
The Spoiled Brat
Corrupted Seraph
Each one has an optional challenge version of the fight. You have to accept and win all three during a single run.
Every one of these drops a piece of Titan Essence.
If you skip even one of them, the Titan fight won’t trigger. There’s no second chance mid-run.
Collect Titan Essence
You need all three pieces of Titan Essence to face the Titans.
Once you collect them, finish your run by beating Seraph.
If everything is done correctly, the game won’t end. You’ll get a cutscene and then jump into the Titan battle.
This is the only way to trigger it.
What the Titans Actually Do
When the fight begins, you’ll be facing all three Titans at once:
Entropy Titan floods the board with junk units and constant pressure
Savagery Titan hits hard and batters your Pyre if you fall behind
Dominion Titan drags out the fight and slowly wears down your deck
This isn’t a simple final boss.
You need to control all three floors, scale quickly, and protect your Pyre for several turns while getting hit from every direction.
If your deck takes too long to stabilize, Entropy will clog your board. If your frontlines are weak, Savagery will melt them.
And Dominion... well, he just waits you out like a smug stone-faced wall.
Best Builds to Handle It
Recommendations to beat the titans:
Decay-based damage over time builds
Reanimate/Propagate setups with a frontline on every floor
Sap effects to slow incoming damage
Pyre healing spells to keep your train from burning down
Also, keep your Pyre health high. If you go in with less than 25 or so, you’ll probably get steamrolled.
Yes, You Can Do It at Low Covenant
You do not need to be on a high Covenant level.
You can fight the Titans at Covenant 0, and yes, mutators work too.
Stuff like free spells, bonus gold, or unit duplication all count. It’s a great way to unlock their Pyre Hearts and learn the fight before trying it at higher difficulties.
Players have tested and confirmed it still unlocks all the rewards.
Final Blurb & FAQ
The Titans aren’t some secret boss that just shows up after enough runs. You need to earn them. Unlock the Pyre Hearts, take on all three enhanced bosses, and gather the Titan Essence.
Then, if your run is solid and your Pyre hasn’t been roasted, you’ll earn your spot in the real final battle.
And then the real fun begins.
