# Floor Bosses

> **Upcoming content** - Floor Bosses are part of Aincrad Legacy's design and are described here so you know what is coming. They are **not yet available** in the game.

Do not confuse Floor Bosses with [Field Bosses](/aincrad-legacy-docs/world-and-monsters/field-boss-hunts.md) - they are different things in Aincrad Legacy. Field Bosses roam the open world and are summoned by the community's kills; Floor Bosses are something else entirely.

## What a Floor Boss is

A **Floor Boss** is an **instanced boss fight** - a private encounter for your party, away from the open world. These fights are meant to be taken by an **experienced, coordinated party**: they are vicious, and there is **no room for mistakes**.

## Passage guards

Floor Bosses are the **gatekeepers of Aincrad**. Each one guards the passage to the next floor - killing it unlocks access to the floor above, where even more challenging foes await.

That makes Floor Bosses the backbone of the server's progression: the community climbs the tower one boss at a time, exactly as Adventurers should.

## Getting ready

Until the gates open, the best preparation is the fundamentals:

* Master your [role](/aincrad-legacy-docs/combat-roles/overview.md) and coordinate a full party.
* Learn the [armor and attack type](/aincrad-legacy-docs/combat-system/armor-and-attack-types.md) system - walking into a boss with the wrong weapon will hurt.
* Respect the [Death Penalty](/aincrad-legacy-docs/getting-started/death-penalty.md) - "no room for mistakes" is not a figure of speech.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aincrad-legacy.gitbook.io/aincrad-legacy-docs/world-and-monsters/floor-bosses.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
