About Boneraiser Minions
In a gothic‑horror world you become a condemned Boneraiser, a being that cannot be killed. Using the bones and souls of fallen heroes you raise undead minions, each with its own combat role, to fend off endless waves of attackers.
The game mixes auto‑battler action with rogue‑lite progression, offering several modes, relics, spells, and a meta system that lets you improve both your necromancy and the opposing heroic forces to survive King Gigald’s crusade.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Gameplay
You dash around the battlefield, avoiding enemies while collecting bones from slain heroes. Those bones are the currency for raising and upgrading a variety of undead minions, from melee pulverisers to magical missilers and supporting hexers.
Combat is handled automatically; your focus is on positioning, bone collection, and deploying relics or spells at strategic moments to shift the tide of battle in your favour.
- Gather bones early to expand your minion roster quickly.
- Watch enemy movement patterns to time dashes for optimal bone collection.

Game Modes
Mausoleum Awakens tasks you with protecting your crypt against King Gigald, requiring you to place traps and contraptions before the battle begins. Necrotic Skirmishes offers a quick endurance test against an ever‑growing horde of meanies.
Daily and Weekly Challenges pit you against the world on an equal footing, while Clashful Cards provides a collectible card‑game diversion. Castle Conquest lets you travel across maps, choosing paths that lead toward the Queen’s Palace.
- Use Mausoleum Awakens to experiment with trap placement before tackling faster modes.
- Explore different routes in Castle Conquest to encounter varied enemy compositions.
03 / THE GUIDE
Relics and Spells
Beyond bones, you can discover Relics that grant strange boosts or abilities, and Spell Scrolls that deliver powerful attacks or buffs. Both are found during battles and can be activated at moments you deem most effective.
Strategic timing of relics or spells can turn a losing encounter into a victory, especially when facing large waves of heroes that threaten your minion lines.
- Reserve high‑impact spells for moments when enemy numbers peak.
- Pair relic effects that complement your current minion composition.

Meta Progression
Between runs you spend collected coins to upgrade boneraising abilities, such as unlocking Enboned Giants or Possessed Demons. The meta system can be adjusted and refunded, encouraging experimentation with different loadouts.
You also bolster the opposing heroic forces, provoking groups like Beggar's Revolt or Mercenary Cyclops to harvest more bones, which in turn fuels a larger undead army.
- Try different meta upgrades to find a balance between minion quantity and power.
- Consider provoking stronger hero groups only after establishing a solid minion base.

Leaderboards and Competition
Your performance is tracked on Steam Leaderboards, allowing you to compare scores with friends and the global community. Even after defeating King Gigald, the crusade continues indefinitely, offering endless opportunities to climb the rankings.
Daily and Weekly Challenges provide focused ways to earn leaderboard spots against equally matched opponents, encouraging repeated play to improve your standing.
- Aim for consistent high scores in quick modes to improve leaderboard ranking.
- Observe top players’ strategies in community discussions for ideas.
