    The Cluckening
    Boss battle guide

    The chicken god, explained

    The Cluckening is the flock’s end-of-days boss: 20x HP, a defending disciple army, and the unshakeable belief that your castle should be a nesting site. It only loses to absolutely everything you have, all at once. Here’s how to be ready.

    Eight ways to survive the god

    How to beat The Cluckening

    🚫

    Stop the summon

    The god only arrives when 3 cultists gather. Kill cultists before they form a circle — two cultists are a nuisance, three are a countdown. If an event or mutator is summoning mini-gods, treat every cultist as the top target.

    🔭

    Watch the intel

    The between-wave INTEL card names the nastiest thing coming. If it mentions the god, use the countdown: bank eggs, buy Armour Piercing Rounds and Rapid Fire, and upgrade your best towers in place with U.

    💣

    Save the Nuke

    The 1,500-egg Nuke’s ~20-tile blast is the biggest single hit in the game. Save it for the god wave — but pull your own fragile towers out of the blast radius first, because it destroys everything in it.

    ⚡

    Overclock on arrival

    The moment the god appears, hit Overclock: +50% damage and fire rate for 25 seconds. It costs 25% of your board’s value — and this is exactly the emergency it’s for.

    🔱

    Fuse a SUPER

    Eight of the same defence become one x10-damage SUPER. A SUPER Laser, Gatling or Ballista is the strongest single-target tool you own — keep it for the boss, and use H-mode buff towers beside it for +5% each.

    🎯

    Focus fire, single target

    The god is one enormous HP pool. Ballista, Scarecrow Sniper, Laser (Laser Focus relic = +50%) and an upgraded Gatling melt it. AoE towers are for the army, not the god.

    🐣

    Clear the disciples

    The god raises a defending disciple army. Let Mortar, Confetti, Tesla and traps thin the swarm while your single-target line burns the god — ignore the adds and they will eat your towers.

    🚪

    Protect the door

    The god wave is when everything else is also trying to reach the door. Top up its HP, keep walls and a Builder Hen nearby, and remember the last-stand buff: below 15% HP, every tower fires 25% faster.

    Ready to face it?

    The cultists are already gathering. Build your defences and pray.

    The story so far

    Backstory

    There were warnings. There were always warnings — the circles in the dirt, the pamphlets, the chant that got louder every night behind the treeline. The farm read them all and filed them under: probably nothing. Then the sky did something it had never done before, and the ground did something worse, and The Cluckening was here. It is the chicken god. It is here. It is enormous.

    It does not attack the way other chickens attack. It does not need to. It simply exists, at 20 times the HP of anything the farm has ever measured, and the air around it hums with devotion. Disciples rise at its command — summoned from the earth, from the flock, from anywhere there is a chicken willing to believe — and they defend it with the fervour of creatures who have finally met their answer. Your towers hit it. It notices. That is the scariest part: it notices, and it keeps coming.

    It wants the castle rezoned as a nesting site. Not destroyed. Not conquered. Rezoned — the god has paperwork, and the paperwork has been signed, and the only signature missing is yours, which it intends to collect. Every manual, every veteran, every chicken who has seen the god and survived agrees on the only strategy that has ever worked: focus everything on it. Every egg. Every tower. Every nuke. The Cluckening does not lose to cleverness. It loses only to absolutely everything you have, all at once.

    What it’s good at

    Being the chicken god, surviving everything, raising disciple armies, and rezoning castles as nesting sites.

    How to beat it

    20x HP and raises a defending disciple army — focus everything on it. This is the end-of-days boss: save your nukes, overclock and strongest towers for the moment it appears.

    Official file: “Arrives with a full legal team. Can rewrite your castle layout mid-wave. Unpaid interns handle the tears.”
    The story so far

    Backstory

    The Bureaucrat Elite does not walk onto the battlefield so much as it arrives. It arrives with a full legal team — paralegals in the wings, an advocate at the front, and a paralegal whose entire job is to carry the advocate’s briefcase, which is empty but very heavy. The farm’s defenders have learned to recognise the sound of it coming: the rustle of paperwork, the tap of claws on stone, and the distant weeping of unpaid interns.

    It can rewrite your castle layout mid-wave. Not destroy it — rewrite it. Walls move. Towers swap. The defence line you spent the whole wave building suddenly has a different floor plan, filed, stamped and legally binding. The Elite does not fight with weapons. It fights with jurisdiction, and jurisdiction always wins.

    The interns handle the tears. The interns handle everything, actually — the filing, the revisions, the emotional toll — and the interns are not paid. When the Elite finally falls, the paperwork outlives it by decades, and somewhere in the archives there is a motion, never withdrawn, to relocate your entire defence line to the sea. The interns drafted it. The interns will never finish it.

    What it’s good at

    Arriving with a full legal team, rewriting your layout mid-wave, and delegating the tears to unpaid interns.

    How to beat it

    Rewrites your layout mid-wave — highest priority target. Shredders and paperwork counters stop it cold; otherwise drop everything on it before it files a motion against your defence line.

    Official file: “The mallet is bigger. The thud is deeper. The insurance is unpaid.”
    The story so far

    Backstory

    The Demolition Drumstick Prime is what happens when the flock’s infrastructure division gets a budget increase and spends it entirely on one mallet. The original drumstick was already a problem. The Prime is the problem, promoted. Its mallet is bigger — noticeably, uncomfortably bigger — and it carries it with the quiet pride of a professional whose entire résumé is demolition.

    The thud is deeper. That is not an exaggeration; seismologists have filed a report. When the Prime swings, walls do not crack, they reconsider, and structures do not lose half their HP — they lose three quarters, which is a different conversation entirely. One swing, and your defence is a memory with a note attached: the insurance is unpaid.

    The insurance, in fact, has never been paid. The Prime’s policy was cancelled the same day it was written, by an adjuster who watched one demonstration and immediately changed careers. The only thing the field manuals agree on is the same warning, printed larger this time: it smashes 75% per hit, so cook it with the Rotisserie — or don’t let it swing at all.

    What it’s good at

    Bigger mallets, deeper thuds, 75% max-HP smashes, and an insurance policy that was never paid.

    How to beat it

    75% smash variant — the mallet is bigger. One swing is three-quarters of any structure’s HP, so cook it with the Rotisserie or kill it before it swings.

    Official file: “The crown emits lightning. The kingdom is overdue on its taxes. You are the kingdom.”
    The story so far

    Backstory

    Every monarchy has a final form. The Royal Rooster’s is the Prime: the same crown, the same flock, but amplified in every direction that matters. The crown emits lightning now — small arcs that crackle between the feathers and make the court photographer deeply uncomfortable. Nobody at the palace knows where the lightning comes from. Nobody at the palace asks. Royal etiquette has a rule for this, and the rule is: don’t.

    The kingdom is overdue on its taxes. The kingdom is you. The Prime has kept a ledger for generations, and it has never once been balanced, because the Prime has never once been paid. It did not come for your farm out of hunger, or anger, or even ambition. It came for collection, and it is very, very patient about collection.

    It is the 100x HP variant of the monarch — the same rooster, backed by an entire kingdom’s worth of stubbornness. Its subjects swarm, its aura buoys them higher, and its crown keeps crackling. Every field manual that mentions it ends the same way, in the largest type available: bring your strongest towers.

    What it’s good at

    Emitting lightning, collecting overdue taxes, and being the boss-fight version of the monarch.

    How to beat it

    100x HP variant — bring your strongest towers. Focus everything on it before it finishes buffing the flock; this is the monarch, amplified.

    Official file: “One hit. Half your item gone. It drags a giant wooden mallet and hums the demolition anthem. Rotisserie is its one true fear.”
    The story so far

    Backstory

    Somewhere in the flock’s infrastructure division, there is a chicken with a hard hat, a union card, and a giant wooden mallet that it has never once used for building. The Demolition Drumstick joined the siege with a single professional goal: make the farm’s structures reconsider their existence. One hit. Half your item gone. It does not aim for weak points. It does not need to.

    It drags the mallet behind it — slowly, deliberately, with the unhurried confidence of a contractor who knows the job will still be there — and hums. The tune is known officially as the demolition anthem. It has no words, but every chicken on the field knows what it means: the next structure in line has about two seconds left to make peace with its materials.

    It fears one thing, and the farm’s manuals have underlined it in every known language: the Rotisserie. A structure is a job. The Rotisserie is personal. When the drumstick sees the rotisserie’s heat beam, the anthem stops, the mallet drops, and for the first time in its career, the demolition expert looks like lunch.

    What it’s good at

    Smashing 50% of a structure’s max HP per hit, humming the demolition anthem, and making walls reconsider their existence.

    How to beat it

    Smashes 50% of a structure’s max HP per hit — Rotisserie is its weakness. Cook it before it reaches your walls; the Rotisserie Ray is its one true fear.

    Official file: “Twice the size, twice the boom, twice the aim error. Its sense of direction is a felony.”
    The story so far

    Backstory

    After the Misguided Missile, the flock’s engineering department held a meeting. The minutes of that meeting, which have been classified and then unclassified by accident, contain exactly one sentence: “what if we made it bigger and did not fix the aim.” The Megamissile is the result. It is twice the size. It is twice the boom. It is, the farm’s radar operator will tell you with the dead eyes of a witness, twice the aim error.

    Its sense of direction is a felony. In a fair legal system, the Megamissile would be charged with reckless navigation, aggravated wrong-turns and at least one incident involving a windmill. It launches with the confidence of something that knows exactly where it is going, which is untrue in every sense, and it maintains that confidence until the moment it arrives somewhere else entirely and detonates.

    The blast radius is the real problem. The Megamissile does not need to hit you to hurt you — it needs to miss you in the wrong direction. Keep fragile towers off its flight line, spread the board out, and let it do what it does best: miss, explode, and take a regrettable amount of its own flock with it.

    What it’s good at

    Being twice the boom, twice the aim error, and one felony-grade sense of direction.

    How to beat it

    Bigger blast, worse aim — keep fragile towers off the flight line. It explodes like a small sun and steers like a tossed coin, so spread your towers out and let it hit its own flock.

    Official file: “Majestic. Slow. Catastrophic. It summons armies, buffs its subjects, and refuses to die quietly.”
    The story so far

    Backstory

    The Royal Rooster was not crowned. That is the first thing its court wants you to know — it was not crowned, it was acknowledged. The flock simply looked at it one morning and understood, the way one understands the weather, that this was the rooster in charge. It accepted the acknowledgement without ceremony, because ceremony is for roosters who need the reminder.

    It is majestic. It is slow. It is catastrophic. It does not march with the flock — the flock arranges itself around its progress, and its progress is a royal procession with a very bad destination. Where it walks, the air thickens and every chicken nearby stands a little taller, a little faster, and a great deal more annoying. It buffs its subjects the way a monarch inspires a kingdom: simply by being present, and being enormous.

    It summons armies. Baby chicks pour out of its wake in swarms, hatched mid-stride and immediately devoted to the crown. And when the fight turns against it, the Royal Rooster refuses to die quietly. It does not fall. It performs a state funeral for itself, in real time, with maximum drama — which is why every field manual agrees: focus fire, and do not let the monarch give a speech.

    What it’s good at

    Summoning baby swarms, buffing its subjects, and refusing to die quietly.

    How to beat it

    Summons baby swarms and buffs chickens — needs focus fire. Drop everything and melt it with your heaviest single-target damage; every second it lives makes the flock stronger.

    Official file: “Forged in a barn fire and blessed by the egg gods. Bullets bounce off it. Only creatures can put it down.”
    The story so far

    Backstory

    There was a barn fire. That much is agreed. What happened inside it is a matter of debate among the flock’s historians, who are mostly chickens who saw something and refuse to talk about it. The official record says a chicken walked into the flames and a Titan walked out — forged in the heat, blessed by the egg gods, and carrying the faint smell of something that should not be carrying anything.

    The Titan Chicken is not armour-plated so much as armour-adjacent: bullets bounce off it the way rain bounces off a mountain, and your lasers, mortars and nukes might as well be compliments. It does not run. It does not need to. It walks with the unhurried certainty of something that has already read the ending of this fight, and the ending is not good for the farm.

    Its one weakness is written in every field manual the farm has ever printed, underlined, circled and pinned to the gate: only creatures can put it down. Not towers. Not traps. Creatures — the Wolf, the Garrison Cat, The Colonel, the drones and the tractor. Bring them, because nothing else in the arsenal even registers.

    What it’s good at

    Bouncing bullets, ignoring towers, and walking through your field like it owns the place.

    How to beat it

    Immune to everything except creatures — Wolf, Garrison Cat, The Colonel, drones and tractors are the only things that can put it down. Build creature defences early if you see one coming.

    Official file: “It stole the corn. It stole the eggs. It is not sorry. Killing it refunds half of what it took.”
    The story so far

    Backstory

    The Corn Thief does not remember the first time it stole. It was too young, and the corn was too close. What it remembers is the feeling: the warm, weighty, absolutely correct sensation of something that was not its own becoming, suddenly and permanently, its own. It has built an entire career on that feeling. The corn was a start. The eggs were a promotion.

    It stole the corn. It stole the eggs. It is not sorry. It will never be sorry. Apologies, in the Corn Thief’s professional opinion, are for chickens who plan to be caught, and it has no such plans — it walks straight through your field, helping itself to your bank eggs as it goes, with the unhurried confidence of a bird that has already counted the loot.

    If it reaches the door, the eggs are gone for good. Gone where? It does not say. There is a silo somewhere, far from any farm, that the other chickens have learned not to ask about. But there is one mercy written into its heist: kill it before the gate, and half of everything it took comes home. The Corn Thief considers this a fair trade. It is, after all, still ahead.

    What it’s good at

    Stealing bank eggs mid-walk, keeping the loot if it reaches the door, and never once being sorry.

    How to beat it

    Steals bank eggs as it walks and keeps them if it reaches the door — kill it to refund half. Treat it as a walking withdrawal; drop everything to pop it before the gate.
