Bosses

Five monsters are bosses. Each is fought on a boss map of its own, where saving is refused and the boss's portrait and HP bar show at the top of the screen. A map script starts the fight with an entrance scene, and the boss attacks only when that scene ends. A boss's defeat starts a closing scene instead of the usual EXP and drop rolls, so its reward is the quest that asks for the kill. In version 1.5 one boss, Yeti, has no map object that runs its fight script; its page says what that leaves unknown.

The recommended level in the table is the compendium's estimate, not the game's: the level of the strongest monster on the maps that lead to the boss map.

Boss	Level	HP	Boss map	Quest	Chapter	Recommended level
Malady	60	15,000	Cursed Shrine (Ant Tunnel)	Defeat Malady	1	54
Werewolf	100	23,000	Garden in Ruins (Orbis)	Defeating Werewolves	2	73
Homunscullo	135	48,000	Library Storage (Magatia)	Defeating the Homunscullo	3	101
Yeti	121	32,000	Valley of Snowman (El Nath)	Defeating Yeti	2	87
Balrog	150	80,000	Hellfire Altar (El Nath)	Defeat the Evil Lord	3	130

Malady Bomb has the boss bar's id range too, but it is the monster that explodes on contact, not a fight of its own.
