Dimraeth bosses

Early Access has four named bosses: the monstrous droop, the goblin king, Woldroot the Path Guardian and Aelwynor. Two quests are also named for a foe: The Corrupted Treant and Hoard King’s Fall. Each region has a major boss, and Early Access added new elites. Beat a boss once and it returns as a repeatable bounty on the Guild Hall board, which you can push to harder tiers for better loot.

Two quests with a boss in the title

Timber!

The Corrupted Treant

A main quest; its achievement is Timber!. Players call the main quest that ends the first area The Corrupted Beast; it ends with a treant kill in the corrupted forest.

Death of a Tyrant

Hoard King’s Fall

A main quest. The chapter 2 boss’s health bar reads Goblin King, and its bounty is Hoard King’s Bounty.

Story order is on Dimraeth achievements, and the regions on the Dimraeth map page.

Missing the last two bosses for the achievement

If you finished the story and still lack the Corrupted Monstrous Droop and Gotburg the Burned:

  • Corrupted Monstrous Droop: complete the quests in its area; it spawns at the end of a world event.
  • Gotburg the Burned: some players say you rebuild the bridge in the north-east forest to fight him; others find him at a firework world event on the western side of the farmlands, with the bridge in front of Briarheart.

Both routes, boss by boss, are on Dimraeth boss locations. Woldroot, the other mini-boss players miss, has his own page. If you and Aelwynor die at the same moment and the quest will not complete, update the game: “Fixes players dying at the same time as Aelwynor unable to complete the quest”. The rest of that hotfix is on Dimraeth patch notes.

Major bosses and elites

“New world bosses: Major bosses for each region”

Elites arrived alongside the major bosses, together with new dungeons and difficulty levels.

The alpha wolf

Beat the alpha wolf to unlock a pet; a second, harder wolf fight gives a wolf pup. What pets do is on Dimraeth pets.

Plain wolf packs are the fight that kills many players. How to handle them is on Dimraeth enemies: wolf packs and dryads. Players also farm those packs for gear; the loop is on Dimraeth loot.

Bosses come back as bounties

A boss you have beaten goes onto the Guild Hall quest board as a repeatable bounty. Each clear at the top difficulty you have unlocked opens the next tier. The video below covers it from about the nine-minute mark.

  1. Beat the boss once in the story

    That unlocks it on the bounties tab of the Guild Hall quest board.

  2. Take the bounty and clear it at the highest level available

    Each clear at the top difficulty raises the ceiling by one notch.

  3. Farm the sets that only that boss drops

    Rewards scale as you climb, and some bosses drop sets with distinct bonuses you cannot get anywhere else.

“A new Deed content type: Bounties. If you like repeating bosses and tough encounters, bounties let you replay them with scaling difficulty and rewards, so you can push higher ranks and earn better loot”

Mudtek

That tier ladder is the Early Access endgame. Players report the top bounty level stays locked until you beat the final boss. How deeds, tiers and bounties fit together is on Dimraeth endgame and deeds, and the sets on Dimraeth equipment.

Bounty Hunter: ten different mini-bosses

The last boss achievement asks you to defeat ten different mini-bosses. If you have cleared every bounty you can see and are still short, check Woldroot: players place him in a side clearing and say the final encounter must be active. Route and checks are on Dimraeth Woldroot and the Bounty Hunter checklist.

Getting ready for a boss

Scout the boss, note which damage type it leans on, then go back to base and prepare for it.

Cook for the damage typeFood gives timed stat and elemental resistance buffs; cook for the resistance you need.
Stock potionsBuild an alchemy table and craft better health potions before the fight.
Spend boss drops on spellsBoss drops go into specific skill recipes. Which spells suit your class is on Dimraeth builds.

Bosses on Hard

You pick world difficulty when you create a world. A forum moderator says that on Hard, enemies hit harder, have more HP and attack faster, with no extra loot or XP for it. For a harder boss with better rewards, use the bounty tiers instead. Fighting bosses with friends is covered on Dimraeth co-op.

Known boss bug: Vanishing Strike soft lock

Using Vanishing Strike while killing the treant in The Corrupted Beast can leave the screen black and your character stuck. Exit and reload the game to get out.

Viakaros Developer

“Someone had this with the goblin king on the discord (don’t know if you’re the same person) - I will look into it”

Until it is patched, avoid that skill at the end of those two fights. Other open issues are on Dimraeth bugs and fixes.
