The Dream Realm in AFK Journey is a game mode that isn’t directly tied to AFK Stages or Story progress, though it offers great rewards that can boost the power level of your hero roster. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about it.

What is the Dream Realm in AFK Journey

AFK Journey’s Dream Realm is a competitive PvE mode where your team of five heroes faces off against a powerful boss. Your goal is to deal as much damage as possible within 90 seconds, either killing the boss or until the timer runs out or your team is fully wiped out. Your total damage dealt is then ranked against that of other players in your server. The more damage you deal, the higher your ranking is. You bring your character roster, gear, and level into this game mode as normal.

If you kill the boss, it respawns at a higher level with higher stats and HP, making it harder to defeat again.

In AFK Journey’s Dream Realm, there are four bosses, though you can only fight one per day for a limited number of free attempts and extra attempts you buy with gold. They rotate daily at midnight UTC (that’s 7pm CT). Each boss has a unique ability that requires you to adapt your team strategy to either resist or counter it, testing your team-building skills extensively. The bosses and their signature skills are:

  • Skyclops, who spawns minions to become invincible and sweeps the battlefield with a laser beam.
  • King Croaker, who can instantly kill any hero caught in its bubble.
  • Necrodrakon, who targets static heroes for debuffs, crowd control, and constant damage.
  • Snow Stomper, who traps heroes in a Yeti Cell and applies a long-duration global silence.

You can click any of the bosses’ names above to check out our detailed guide on their skills, patterns, and how to build the best team to defeat them. The order of the boss rotation in the Dream Realm is Skyclops, King Croaker, Necrodrakon, and Snow Stomper. When Snow Stomper ends, the list restarts from Skyclops.
