SteamWorld Guides — Every Game, Bot and Boss

SteamWorld guides and databases built from the wiki: characters and bosses across Dig, Heist, Quest and Build.

Where the numbers come from. The tables below are built from the game wiki's own data, not from memory. Where a page needs an exact figure, we mark it and check it before we call it fact.

Start here
