Blackforge Depths: how to beat

ReferenceBuilt from the game’s data

Dungeon, levels 52–60, bosses: 16. How to beat every boss and the waves between them: hits by turn, roles, average damage.

A guide to the whole place: waves and bosses in order. Numbers come from the game’s data; loot is in the item atlas and on the Blackforge Depths page.

In short

Dungeon · levels 52–60 · bosses: 16
Party: 3 heroes — tank, healer, damage dealer.
Dungeons have no item level advice: gear of your own level is enough (the place is levels 52–60, the boss is level 52).
Bosses with a whole-party hit: 3 of 16. Every boss has its own page: abilities, turn-by-turn rhythm, roles.

Waves between bosses

Before each boss there is a wave of 1–3 enemies of one kind from the list below; the wave’s level matches the next boss.
Taunt holds the whole wave at once — the tank presses it before the first enemy turn. Damage dealers kill one enemy after another: each kill removes its hits.
A wave only hits the tank: the biggest takes up to 9% of their Health per turn. Healing the tank is enough; shields and big heals are for the bosses.

Enemy	Type	Per wave	Health of one	Damage to the tank per turn
Outcast Smith Kalbran	Humanoid	1–3	2,628–3,780	6% (up to 9%)
Blackforge Pyromage	Humanoid	1–3	2,628–3,780	4% (up to 8%)
Bronze Sentry Golem	Construct	1–3	2,628–3,780	5% (up to 8%)
Rabid Lava Hound	Beast	1–3	2,628–3,780	6% (up to 9%)
