A map boss is a type of map encounter that can occur in a map which adds a difficult unique monster. On the Atlas, locations with map bosses are marked with an icon. Maps without this icon will not have a boss appear.

Each map area has a specific boss that will appear if the map contains a boss. The combinations can be found in List of maps.

Mechanics

In maps containing a map boss, the map boss must be defeated for the map to count as completed.

Map bosses have significantly increased monster item rarity and quantity. Most bosses are versions of bosses from the campaign, though they may have modified or new skills or different arenas/arena hazards.

Map bosses are guaranteed to drop a rare item. In addition, as unique monsters, all items they drop will have an item level 2 levels higher than their monster level.

Citadel bosses, sometimes referred to as uber act bosses, are special map bosses based on the act bosses of the campaign: Count Geonor, Jamanra, the Abomination, and Doryani. Citadel bosses drop Crisis Fragments, items used to access The Arbiter of Ash, the pinnacle atlas encounter.
