Unique Monsters & Bosses
Wyrdwood features two tiers of special enemies: champion creatures and named bosses.
Champion Creatures
Champions are enhanced versions of regular enemies that appear in encounters. Their names will be prefixed with a type, colored differently and have a visual effect added. Champions grant increased experience on death — the XP multiplier is 1 + difficulty, where difficulty is 1 (hard) or 2 (very hard). Champions are not subject to the standard XP cap applied to regular enemies.
Champions drop higher-quality/quantity loot than their normal counterparts.
Boss Encounters
Named bosses are larger, more dangerous enemies with custom behaviors. They typically:
- Have significantly higher HP, saves, and attack bonuses
- May have unique abilities and phases
- Have an associated reward chest that is only unlocked after being defeated. This chest resets daily.
Boss locations are distributed throughout the world. Defeat records are tracked per account so the same character cannot farm a boss multiple times per reset cycle.
Daily Resets
Boss and chest resets are account-based. Once you defeat a boss or loot a chest, you must wait for the daily reset before rewards are available again. This applies per-account, not per-character.
