Chained Beasts guides
Checked 2026-10-18
These guides answer the questions the store page skips: how the chain actually trips people, what the bosses are called, and which launch-week bugs players already posted.
This hub uses Steam store text, the official achievement list, and Featherweight announcements. Player bug reports are labeled as reports, not reproduced issues. Store and source checks were refreshed on 18 October 2026; any older numeric snapshot retains its own date.

New groups should read the beginner page and the chain page before they care about a tier list. The chain is the whole combat fantasy. Boss names below come from achievements and the Rome announcement, not from a damage spreadsheet.
- Beginner: trainer, merchant, crowd, and the first Carthage clear.
- Chain: squeeze, trip, and the pillar problem, in the studio’s own words.
- Co-op: 1, 2, 3, or 4 players, split-screen, and the crossplay gap.
- Bosses: Praefectus, Goliath, Beastmaster Barca, Flail Master, the catapult.
- Afflictions: 70+ wounds, skull weights, potions versus surgery.
- Achievements: 60 Steam entries, with the rates I actually pulled.
