Map bosses

In most map areas, there is a boss. Defeating the boss is not obligatory, but they drop more loot and grant more experience than regular map monsters. Defeating the boss is often the bonus objective for the Atlas of Worlds completion, with higher tiers requiring the map to be crafted in a certain way.

Map bosses are often based on unique monsters from the storyline. That monster's skills, visual model, or both, can be similar. The map boss does have a unique name. Below, all current map bosses are listed with their corresponding map and the unique monster they're based off. As of version 2.5.0 there are x different map bosses, residing in 126 map areas. Note that different maps can feature the same boss and that some maps have multiple bosses.
