Overview
Bosses are special NPCs that are challenging and typically require a team of players in order to successfully fight the boss. Bosses differ from the traditional NPCs in a variety of ways, such as bosses not spawning normally as do regular NPCs, bosses being locked behind a level requirement, and bosses having unique appearances and moves. For successfully killing a boss, players can receive rewards such as Yen, RC Cells, Reputation points, and experience. Bosses has high defense. All players who contributed enough damage to a boss will receive equal rewards-- except for experience points, which scales depending on the amount of damage done. Bosses will stop chasing you if you go too far from them.
Each boss requires players to be of a certain level or higher in order to deal damage to the boss. Players below the required level will not deal any damage to the boss nor be attacked by the boss. Each boss has the required level in their entity name.
There are three tiers of bosses in Ro-Ghoul: Low-level boss, a medium-level boss, and a high-level boss. A boss of each tier can spawn on the map, providing players with 3 possible bosses to fight. However, two bosses of the same tier cannot spawn at once.
Low-Level Bosses
Low-level bosses provide a challenge for new players. Low-level bosses have a respawn timer of 2.5 minutes. (2 min 30 seconds)
