@@ Line 13: / Line 13: @@
 Challenging them early will not waste that week or cost you extra time. After they are defeated, an arrow will appear at the end of your day-counter to indicate that a boss battle will not trigger at the end of that week, since you already defeated them. It is possible to defeat multiple bosses in the same week, causing multiple arrows to pile up.
-There are certain items that are strong for early fights despite being weak in the endgame. These are typically ones that give you big singular benefits without needing to be combined with anything, such as [[Cracked_Bouldershield|Cracked Bouldershield]] and [[Royal Helmet]]. It can be good to pick up one or two of these from a merchant early on. Don't get too attached to these items though, as many of them don't combine into the type of engines and combos that you'll want to create for in the endgame.
