How to ACTUALLY farm resources in Be the Final Boss

Storyline (what the video is about)

The video isn’t focused on the game’s narrative. It’s a progression/grind guide for Be the Final Boss, centered on farming souls, coins, and shards so players can unlock and/or upgrade powerful units (e.g., aiming for Skull King) and reach higher leaderboard waves.

Gameplay / progression highlights mentioned

• Player progression goal (example)
  • The creator’s max wave is 699, with roughly ~5 days of play time.
  • They report being officially in the top 100, close to top 90.
• Lineup concept
  • A main frontline made of bone/cursed bone guards.
  • Skeleton archers in the back.
  • Using demonic skeleton archers for the back line is mentioned as part of an efficient setup.
  • “18 guards and the rest archers” is stated for their current lineup.
• Unit cap info
  • Max unit/level cannot go higher than 100 (explicitly noted as important).

Core farming strategy (how to get materials efficiently)

The creator explains that farming efficiency depends on a “sweet spot” wave range—not the absolute highest wave—plus upgrading economy-related skill tree nodes.

1) Choose the right starting wave (by player stage)

Early game (beginner)

• If you don’t have certain units yet (e.g., “don’t even have Gargoyle” / just started), farm starting at wave 0 or around 25–50.
• Benchmark mentioned: Wave 75 is cited as one of the most efficient waves for an “average player,” though it may vary by account.

Mid game

• For people around 400–500 max wave, start farming around 125–150.
• They later refine targeting to closer to 125–150 for mid-game.

End game

• For higher accounts, recommend starting around 175–225.

Why not higher than that?

• Going too high reduces returns because your units struggle to sustain long wave runs.
• Your army can’t take on too many waves without needing resets.

2) Prioritize skill tree nodes that directly boost farming output

The biggest gains come from economy/soul-related upgrades (not “cheats”).

Recommended focus in the skill tree:

• Soul Harness
• Coin Income / Coin Treasury (more coins)
• Population (progress faster)
• Throne Power (more money)

After those, the next priority suggested is:

• Troop/Unit health

Key point: without major income multipliers (an example referenced as an extra 100% boost), income is “a lot lower,” so economy multipliers matter.

3) Use “math” and testing instead of assuming “higher wave = better”

The creator corrects a prior belief:

• Higher wave is not always better for farming.

Validation strategy:

• Test by timing runs and extrapolating (or use spreadsheets).

Example method:

• Record starting coins.
• Time 10 minutes (or 1 hour).
• Extrapolate hourly earnings.
• Compare across wave targets (e.g., ~150, 200, 225, etc.).

4) The throne/rolling synergy (important for income goals)

• Sit on your throne to increase earnings via Throne Power.
• The rolling game pass is described as especially valuable because it lets you:
  • progress via rolls
  • while still leveraging throne-based income simultaneously

Practical example:

• If you want a money milestone (e.g., “get 300 million for an upgrade”), the throne helps reach it faster.

Farming results / benchmarks provided

These numbers are presented as observed tests during the creator’s run:

• Coin example

  • 3 million coins in about 6 minutes, roughly ~30 million coins/hour (noted that the math might need checking, and they would calculate the exact rate later).

• Wave progression snapshot

  • Movement from about 150 to 161 waves during a wrap-up.
• Unit durability note
  • Even on their wave 699 lineup, parts “start falling apart” as the run continues—supporting why the sweet spot matters.

Souls

• Souls can drop while constantly buying upgrades.
• An AFK test by a friend reportedly resulted in about 600,000 souls in 8 hours.
• The creator says they didn’t precisely calculate souls during their own testing, but compares performance across wave ranges.
• They observe that around 175–200, souls income can “catch up” to roll costs better than at higher wave farming.

Additional “bonus” tip: luck from unique/demon lord variations

• Bonus discovery:
  • Every time you buy a unique variation (and a Demon Lord variation is mentioned), you get +1 Luck.
• Recommendation:
  • If you can afford it, buy additional variations to increase luck.
• Why it matters:
  • Higher luck makes it easier to level/upgrade cursed/demonic units (example given: cursed/demonic bone guards).
• Estimated impact:
  • Luck buffs may amount to roughly ~40% total (as stated).

Suggested spending priorities (what to invest money into)

• Reinvest money into:
  • skill tree upgrades
  • progression upgrades (rather than chasing everything)
• Weapon purchasing note:
  • Suggested good value options:
    • Infernal Great Axe
    • Vanguard Axe
  • Caution against wasting money elsewhere.
