Raid Bosses

From Lineage 2 Encyclopaedia

Raid Bosses (RM) are mobs which are supposed to be destroyed by a party of several players. Raid Bosses may dwell either in instanced zones or in some specified areas of the territory. To get information about the dwelling place of a boss, you need to open the map (M hotkey), press the "World Info" button, and choose the "Raid" tab. The tab contains information about all raid bosses in the game.

Most bosses don't dwell in the instanced zones, so they are accessible to everyone, and their respawn time is about 10-12 hours (except the bosses who dwell in the instanced zones). That's why it's not enough to learn about the location of a certain boss, you also need to know whether it's still alive. Some Raid Bosses dwell in the zones which are not easy to access. For example, to kill Death Lord Shax, all party members need to have access to Catacombs and Necropolises, and only those players who have such skill as Unlock can open access to Raid Boss The 3rd Underwater Guardian.

General info

• The locations of almost all Raid Bosses is strictly defined. You can find them using the game map (M);
• The respawn time of a Raid Boss after it's killed is about 10-12 hours of real time;
• The respawn time of the Raid Bosses who dwell in instanced zones is defined by the characteristics of that instanced zone;
• The level of players who can attack a Raid Boss is limited. In general, it's about +8 levels from the level of a boss (for example, Raid Boss Evil Spirit Cyrion can be attacked by those players whose level is 53 or lower), for some Raid Bosses the difference in levels is smaller. If a character breaks this rule, it gets turned into stone for a while;
• The reward also depends on the attackers' level. The bigger is the difference in levels, the less is the reward.

List and Characteristics of Raid Bosses

	Levels of Raid Bosses	Description
	20-29	Bosses mostly dwell around Gludin Village, Town of Gludio and Town of Dion. Most of them are easy to destroy if your party members are dressed in top D-Grade armor and have D-Grade weapon. Such bosses are great for those who are just getting started to help them understand how to create a party, what party roles are etc. There are no Epic Raid Bosses on such levels.
	30-39	Most of such bosses dwell in Dion Territory. The bosses from this level range are stronger, and it's harder to defeat them. Some of them are difficult even for experienced players (especially bosses level 35-39). However, bosses level 33-39 can be attacked be players level 40, with Grade С equipment, which facilitates the process. Again, you won't find and Epic raid bosses in this level category.
	40-49	Real adventures begin! Players complete their second class transfer quests and learn about making a party, so they start learning about the details of how they can make a perfect party. There are different types of healers: (Bishop, Shillien Elder, Elven Elder), warriors of support: (Swordsinger, Bladedancer), a summoner class: (Phantom Summoner, Warlock, Elemental Summoner), etc. Besides, players can fight their first Epic Boss in the game: Queen Ant.
	50-59	This level category is about facing weak bosses (Paniel the Unicorn), and extremely strong as well (Harit Hero Tamash). Players can keep on learning about how to defeat raid bosses, or sharpen their battle skills, challenging stronger opponents. Besides, the raid bosses in this level category are full of Life Crystals (Nonliving Nucleus, Angelic Essence etc.) If you want to face the strongest opponents, there are 2 Epic Raid Bosses for you: Orfen and Core.
	60-69	There are fewer bosses at this level range than for levels 50-59. What's even worse, most of them are quite strong and cunning (Fierce Tiger King Angel , Kernon's Faithful Servant Kelone). Players get closer to top levels, so they have a chance to collect all their knowledge to use them to defeat worthy opponents. It's also worth mentioning that starting from level 60 players can level up their Soul Crystals to levels 10-12. A true challenge is the Epic Raid Boss Zaken, and Zaken (Night) is even a bigger challenge.
	70-79	There are lots of Raid Bosses in this level category, however none of them are difficult to defeat. The difficulty level varies from 'easy' to 'medium', so there's less fun in defeating them. Players have their third class transfer, so they start comprehending the full potential of the chosen classes. This level category is when players can get very nice rewards, like (Blessed Scroll: Enchant Weapon (S-grade), Ancient Book: Divine Inspiration (Original Language Version). Bosses level 75+ are meant for upgrading Soul Crystals from level 12 to level 13. You will also meet the most popular Epic Raid Boss Baium.
	80-85	So, having passed all the trials, we are approaching the final opponents of the game. In general, bosses level 80+ shouldn't be a problem for players level 76-80. Bosses level 81+ are meant for parties of players level 80+ and may prove to be a challenging task for players level 76-79. You also need to know that there are many Epic Bosses for levels 80+ (Antharas, Valakas etc.), which can be used to upgrade you Soul Crystals from level 13 to maximum. However you need a very strong clan to be able to fight them.
