Bosses
Every dungeon has one named unique living at the bottom of it, and it will not come out on its own. You summon it by farming that dungeon until its gold bar fills, you fight it alone, and you get one kill a week. It is the only fight in the game you can lose permanently — read the warning below before you ring the bell.
This does not apply to The Time Keeper, the shard-wide World Boss — dying there costs nothing at all. See the bottom of this page.
Summoning one
WeeklyEvery coin you loot inside a dungeon feeds that dungeon's own boss bar — including gold from a Dungeon Boon, a Potion of Power, a Paragon kill or a gold-finding pet, and including everything your character farmed while you were offline. Fill the bar and the game tells you the moment it is ready; the summon button lives on the dungeon's own screen.
Each dungeon's bar is separate, and the cost is the boss's own — see the roster below.
| Rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| Alone | You cannot summon while in a party. This one is yours to face. |
| No Auto Battle | Turn it off first. A boss fights you through the normal combat window. |
| One kill a week | Beat it and that boss is locked to you until the weekly reset — Friday, noon GMT. Other dungeons' bosses are unaffected. |
| The bar resets weekly too | Gold farmed toward a boss expires at that same Friday boundary, so a bar cannot be banked across weeks and cashed in the instant one lands. |
If you lose
PermanentYour unblessed items are destroyed, as above. Beyond that, losing costs you the bar but not the week:
| Your items | The gold bar | This week's kill | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You win | Kept, plus the drops | Emptied | Spent — locked out until Friday noon GMT |
| You lose | Destroyed | Emptied | Still yours — refill the bar and try again the same week |
So a defeat is not the end of your week. The boss does not walk away locked; it walks away having taken your gear and your progress, and you are free to farm the bar back up and go again as many times as you can stomach.
How they fight
CombatA boss swings and lands like its own dungeon's monsters — it is simply far tankier and hits far harder. On top of that it has a signature ability that fires roughly every 10 seconds, independent of its swing rhythm, and every boss shares one nasty habit:
What they drop
RewardsA boss pays no gold — you already farmed that to summon it. What it leaves instead, every boss, every kill:
| Drop | Details |
|---|---|
| A weapon | Guaranteed, always magical to some degree, and occasionally the dungeon's own Slayer variant. It arrives unidentified unless you have the skill or the Virtue talent to read it on sight. |
| Leather | A large guaranteed haul skinned from the corpse, often upgraded to a better grade than the dungeon would normally give. Trains Camping. |
| Skill scrolls | One or two, of any skill. |
| Virtue Binding XP | A large flat grant — the deeper the boss, the bigger. |
| Special Loot | The rare stuff — rings, cloaks, the carried craft charms. A boss rolls for it several times over, and deeper bosses roll more often. |
| Its trophy | The one drop nobody else has. A house placeable unique to that boss, listed on its card below. You want exactly one; a second is worth nothing. |

The other kind: The Time Keeper
World BossEverything above is about the fourteen dungeon uniques. There is one more boss, and almost nothing on this page applies to it. It lives in no dungeon, no gold bar summons it, there is no weekly lock, and you do not fight it alone — when it is called, a red moongate opens in every town at once and the whole shard piles in together. Its health scales with how many people walk through.
The warning at the top of this page does not apply to it. Die in the Hourglass and nothing is destroyed, nothing drops and nobody can loot you — you go down as a spectator, an ally can resurrect you where you fell, and if nobody does you come back to Britain on your feet with everything you went in wearing. It is the one boss you can throw yourself at for free.
Rewards are ranked by total damage dealt, not by who lands the last hit: a board goes up the moment it falls, the top three always take a Boss Slayer Token, and one shared hoard of weapons, gold, scrolls and Cap Stones is split weighted by what each person actually did.
What only it drops
On top of the shared hoard, The Time Keeper carries a table of its own that exists nowhere else in the world. Every fighter gets one roll at it per kill — one roll, not one per piece of loot you take home — and damage decides the odds: an average share gets you the standard chance, twice the average gets you twice it, and a late arrival still gets a small one. There is a ceiling, so nobody is ever guaranteed one, and nobody takes home two from one kill.
The rarity column is relative to the others on this table, not an absolute chance. Every one of them is rare: the roll only pays out at all a small fraction of the time, and the column tells you which piece you are most likely to see when it does.
| Item | What it does | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
 Powdered Glass |
Sand ground finer than sand, and still warm. A reagent no other kill pays out. | Uncommon |
 The Unwound Spring |
Wind it down and for ten minutes nothing waits to be born — monsters step straight out of the dark. Once a day, and only while you are actually playing. | Uncommon |
 Vortex Basin |
A shallow bowl with a sand vortex that never finishes draining. | Uncommon |
 Orrery of Dead Hours |
Brass rings turning around nothing at all. Slowly. | Uncommon |
 The Stopped Pendulum Clock |
Tall, silent, and always reading the minute the boss died. Your kill, not anybody else’s. | Uncommon |
 The Great Hourglass |
Floor to ceiling, and it really runs — the sand shows how long the shard has stood since its last restart. | Uncommon |
 The Time Keeper's Head |
Mounted. The eyes are still lit, which visitors find upsetting. | Uncommon |
 The Loop Band |
Now and then a swing happens twice, and only one of them was yours. | Uncommon |
 Band of Borrowed Time |
Every buff you drink lasts noticeably longer. The hours come from somewhere. | Uncommon |
 Signet of the Second Chance |
A failed craft sometimes simply did not happen — your materials are still in your hands. | Uncommon |
 The Chronal Seal |
Spells find the seam. Casts can crit. | Rare |
