This is a list of the mini-bosses found in some stages in the Rosenkreuzstilette series. Mini-bosses are fought at any time from almost halfway throughout the stages to near their ends and are slightly stronger than regular enemies, though not as strong as the bosses.

Friender
- Main article: Friender
Friender is a mid boss fought three time in Schwer's stage in a row just like the Mega Man 2 enemy Friender.

Great Hydra

The Great Hydra is a huge purple monster with four serpentine heads and a central body with a purple orb at its top. That orb is its weak point, though the heads can be destroyed as well. The four heads spit spherical shots at the player character. This enemy can be skipped using Die geplante Zukunft.
Ice Behemoth
