Ahzreil is a level 50 boss that spawns in the southwest area of the Light Sanctum Ruins.

You can easily make it to Ahrezil's spawn location by traveling northwest and across the bridge from the Shattered Temple Waypoint or using the grappling hooks located on the southwest wall of the Ruins.

You can also fly from the hills located northwest in Aelon's Sanctuary to reach the Light Sanctum Ruins.

Ahzreil Mechanics and Tips

Compared to other bosses in Throne and Liberty, Ahzreil has few mechanics and can be considered an easier fight. However, the few attacks Ahzreil does have, deal massive damage and one-shot players if done incorrectly. Make sure you understand the following mechanics before entering the fight:

• Ahzreil has a slow Fury Attack, which is an easy to dodge projectile that damages and Stuns all players within range. Pay attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator to ensure you are hitting your Block at the correct moment.
• Ahzreil spawns a line of Blue Fire towards whoever is holding aggro. Players caught in the AoE can run out or dodge to the sides to avoid damage.
• Throughout the fight, Ahzreil spawns Blue Circles on the ground under the feet of randomly selected players. These circles are telegraphs letting you know that a meteor is about to fall from the sky to deal AoE damage. Run out of these circles immediately.
• Ahzreil's signature move involves more fire and totems. Three Totems spawn randomly around the arena close to Ahzreil. Multiple players are also simultaneously sucked into Ahzreil and three of them become randomly selected to receive an AoE ticking Time Bomb floating above their heads. The selected players must use these bombs to explode and destroy the totems. The totems can not be destroyed by anything else. It is ideal to have zero totems remaining to ensure no one takes massive AoE damage. If one totem remains, players lose about half or more than half of their health, depending on how tanky they are. If more than one totem remains, the majority of players die.
• A trick to avoid the explosion AoE wipe from the totem phase that is especially helpful during uncoordinated open-world spawns is running behind one of the large cylinder pillars at the edges of the Temple. Alternatively, you can run and grapple onto the hook located west of the boss to avoid the AoE one-shot mechanic.

In the southern portion of the Ruins of Turayne is the level 50 boss, Adentus.

To get to Adentus, you can easily run South from the Ruins of Turayne Waypoint and use the stairs or grapple hook to get to the boss arena. If you fly down from the cliffs towards the east in Purelight Hill, Ranged DPS can take advantage of the trees to snipe enemies.

Adentus Mechanics and Tips

Adentus has simple boss mechanics and is one of the top 3 most contested bosses during a Conflict spawn. Make sure to fully understand the following mechanics to avoid simple mistakes that can cost you boss loot and the overall fight against enemy raids:

• Adentus' basic attacks include melee hits. It's very important for a tank to always hold aggro and stay near the boss to avoid its AoE Stun and heavy damage attack that happens when a ranged player generates more aggro than the tank. If this happens, the damage and Stun hits everyone inside the arena.
• When Adentus says, "Overrun!" it casts a telegraphed attack that involves Three Glowing Lines on the ground that erupts once the boss smashes its hammer on the ground. The boss smashes the ground three times and if you are caught in the AoE, you receive minor damage and become Stunned. This attack is easy to avoid if you pay attention to the telegraph on the ground during the mechanic.
• When Adentus flips its hammer in the air and says, "Overrun!" again, it spawns a bunch of yellow circles on the ground that explode very quickly, damaging and Knocking Up players caught in the air.
• Adentu's Fury Attack involves him shouting, "This will be your grave!" while preparing an AoE attack that chain Pulls all players caught in it towards him. You can easily Block this attack by paying attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator by running out of range.

On the Eastern edge of Purelight Hill is the Field Boss of Grand Aelon, a level 50 boss.

To get to Grand Aelon, you can either travel North of the Purelight Hill Waypoint or fly southeast from the Purelight Tower Waypoint.

The fighting zone for Grand Aelon is surrounded by trees, which range players can take advantage of to snipe enemies from above during PvP.

Grand Aelon Mechanics and Tips

Grand Aelon is the tankiest boss in Throne and Liberty and drops some of the best tank gear. The mechanics are fairly simple and don't require much effort to learn. They include the following:

• Grand Aelon frequently casts its Fury Attack ability throughout the fight. This ability involves a large AoE Green Shockwave that damages everyone in the arena. The Purple Fury Attack indicator is pretty slow, making this Fury Attack easy to Block.
• A Cone of Thorns pops up from the ground in a line starting from Grand Aelon then moving toward the arena's edge throughout the fight. Grand Aelon raises both hands in the air before delivering the attack. This attack does not deal much damage, so you don't have to worry too much about being hit.
• Grand Aelon's signature mechanic is the Thorn Cages, which spawns to Ensnare and trap randomly selected players. The boss says, "Stuggle... rootless ones!" before locking the players inside the Cages. Players must break the Cages as quickly as possible to save those inside from dying. If you have a Green AoE Circle underneath you during this mechanic, run away from players, or you trap them with you.

In the Northern edge of the Abandoned Stonemason Town, is the Level 44 Field Boss, Chernobog.

You can easily get to Chernobog by teleporting to the Abandoned Stonemason Town Waypoint and traveling directly North.

Chernobog Mechanics and Tips

Chernobog is not a difficult boss once you learn the mechanics and understand the timings required to avoid major mechanics. The following are Cherno's mechanics:

• When Chernobog spawns, it ascends from the ground Knocking surrounding players up in a large AoE while dealing damage. Keep a ten-metre distance from Cherno's spawn location to avoid getting launched.
• Chernobog deals poisonous basic attacks to players throughout the fight. The DoT damage from these attacks is non-lethal and easily manageable with a healer or Nature's Blessing.
• Cherno's Fury Attack involves a small windup into an AoE Tail Swipe that Stuns and pushes players who fail to Block back directly behind the boss. The boss says an illegible phrase before attacking. The Purple Fury Attack indicator for this ability is quite slow, so it is very easy to Block.
• One of the boss's key moves is a Burrow attack that can occur at random. The boss once again says a longer intelligible phrase before diving underground and poking its head up at a random nearby location to Stun and Knock players back. The boss burrows again after this and ascends from the ground the second time Knocking surrounding players into the air. Once the boss lands, it emits a Grey Petrifying Spray that turns all enemies caught in it into stone. When Burrowing, the boss can perform multiple burrows before ascending from the ground. If you are Poisoned by Cherno during this mechanic and undergeared, you can avoid death to the DoT by getting Petrified by the boss.

One of the earlier level bosses is Talus, a Level 46 boss that spawns in the western portion of The Raging Wilds.

It is very easy to get to Talus, as you simply travel directly west of The Raging Wilds Waypoint.

Talus spawns in the middle of a crater surrounded by cliffs with elevated ledges that provide Ranged DPS a higher ground advantage during PvP.

Talus Mechanics and Tips

When fighting Talus, make sure you pay attention to the mechanics to avoid death. During a Conflict spawn, Talus is an incredibly fun boss to PvP around. The most successful groups use Talus' mechanics to their advantage, which include the following:

• Talus deals melee range basic attacks, and if no players are within range, it emits pulsating damage in an AoE that also knocks players back. Make sure always to have a tank on Talus to prevent AoE damage and CC.
• The majority of Talus' fight involves a series of three large AoE mechanics, which you can avoid by watching out for the following telegraphs:
  • Talus raises its hands and then smashes the ground, knocking all players within the inner arena into the air. Most players face tank this mechanic and rely on the healer to use Clay's Salvation afterward.
  • When Talus says, "Expel...magic...!" it splits apart and begins to spin uncontrollably, spawning a massive Windstorm that covers the entire boss arena. Run to the center of the arena to avoid the massive damage that occurs at the end of the animation. You can also avoid damage by running outside of the AoE, but then you lose DPS on Talus.
  • Lastly, when Talus says, "Damage...restores...!" it spawns Three Stones at the edges of the inner arena. All players must run to one of these stones to obtain a Blue Shield that protects them from being one-shot at the end of the animation. You must touch the stone with your body to get the shield.
• Range DPS during a Conflict spawn can use the cliffs at the outer edges of the boss arena to kill players at max range.

Malakar the great Eyes of Desires, is a level 48 boss that can be found in the northeast portion of Manawastes, above ground.

You can not travel to Malakar from the Sanctum of Desire Waypoint, so you must travel to the Manawastes Waypoint and run north to reach the Field Boss.

Malakar Mechanics and Tips

Malakar can be one of the most fun and frustrating bosses to fight in Throne and Liberty because of how easily the mechanics can be messed up by players. During a Conflict spawn, Malakar can be taken advantage of to wipe enemy raids if you understand the following:

• Pay attention to Malakar's Purple Fury Attack indicator, which is cast frequently during the fight. Malakar charges up electrical projectiles that must be blocked to avoid being stunned.
• Throughout the fight, Malakar casts 1 to 2 red eyes above players within range. If there are 2 red eyes, the one that is open shows who Malakar is focusing on.
  • Melee with the eye needs to kite Malakar around so it does not catch up to them.
  • If Malakar catches the person with an eye, it begins smashing the ground with a large AoE multiple times, dealing massive damage to all players within range.
• Malakar casts purple projectiles randomly at players throughout the fight. Dodge the projectiles before they hit the ground to avoid the AoE damage.
• Malakar's iconic mechanic involves a Teleport, Petrify Stun, and mass AoE pull that reaches more than half of the arena. Malakar teleports to the furthest player within its aggro pool, casts a massive AoE Petrify Stun, and then Pulls all players using the same long-range AoE.
• To counter this mechanic, it's important to pre-select, preferably a DPS playing at max range to bait the Teleport, and they can turn Malakar around to face away from allies and players so they don't get sucked in. This must happen very fast, so having a DPS with good movement speed is helpful to counter this mechanic.
• In a Conflict fight, players can bait the Teleport and Vacuum mechanic by using it to suck in enemy players. Or, players can wait for the Pull before rushing in to wipe enemy raids who are Vacuumed and Stunned by Malakar.
• A clever way to avoid the pull mechanic when the fight is disorganized is by positioning yourself behind a solid structure at the edge of the arena when Malakar Teleports. This stops your body from being Pulled towards Malakar. Unfortunately, this is not an easy thing to achieve for Melee DPS, who are normally in Melee range.

Deep in the Northwest ends of the Grayclaw Forest, you find the level 50 Kowazan and Lycan Kowazan bosses. Kowazan spawns during the daytime. Lycan Kowazan spawns during nigthttime.

You can reach Kowazan by either traveling north of the Grayclaw Forest Waypoint or traveling west from the southwest exit of Canina Village.

Kowazan and Lycan Kowazan Mechanics and Tips

Kowazan and Lycan Kowazan are difficult bosses in Throne and Liberty, despite having very few mechanics. A healer is key to saving the party when mechanics fail. Make sure everyone is aware of the following mechanics to avoid failed attempts at killing this boss:

Kowazan

• Kowazan has Melee and Ranged basic attacks that are used depending on who holds aggro on Kowazan. If a Ranged player steals aggro, the boss swaps to Range attacks and then jumps on top of the target. Try to always keep aggro on a tank.
• After saying, "Are you the leader?" Kowazan spawns a Glowing Green Aura underneath a random player in the arena. The Green Light emits from the ground, and the boss throws multiple Knives in almost a 180-degree AoE cone that deals damage and stacks Poison on anyone hit.
• When Kowazan says, "Filthy...useless...! I'll take you all down in an instant!" he gathers Green Smoke towards him while sucking randomly selected players in. After the Vacuum Pull, Kowazan deals an AoE blast that marks and debuffs the selected players with a Knife and Green Aura above their heads. If you are marked, you have to run and touch the bodies of other players who are unmarked to spread the debuff. If you fail to spread the debuff you are then Lifted into the air and killed.
• Kowazan, randomly, casts AoE Poison Knives all around him in a large radius twice in a row that can't be dodged if you're in range. Players should be able to simply face tank the Knives and rely on a healer to recover any lost Health. After the second cast of Knives, the boss uses a melee range Fury Attack that can be Blocked by paying attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator.

Lycan Kowazan

• Lycan Kowazan has similar Basic Attack patterns to Kowazan.
• The Fury Attack from Lycan Kowazan is fairly simple and entails a large AoE attack that covers the majority of the arena. Pay attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator and Block at the right moment.
• The boss pushes players back in a large AoE and marks 6 random players in the arena with Blue Moon symbols. Players must match their Moon with another to form a Yellow Full Moon. A yellow AoE also appears at random where one of the Blue Moons was matched. Stand in this AoE to receive a damage buff.
• Lycan Kowazan sucks players in and six to seven at random are marked with a Red Moon. Additionally, several other players are marked with Red Light. Players with a Red Moon above their heads must immediately run to the boss as fast as possible and hug it. If even one person with a Red Moon is late, Lycan Kowazan begins killing players who were marked with the Red Light at random.

The lvl 50 Field Boss Minezerok spawns in the Shadowed Crypt on the 1st Floor. When you enter this Open World Dungeon, you simply run directly north to reach the room Minezerok spawns in.

Teleport to the Shadowed Crypt Waypoint to enter the open-world Dungeon, and make sure to take advantage of boss mechanics during PvP to quickly turn the tides of your battles.

Minezerok Mechanics and Tips

Minezerok is a difficult boss that requires attentive teammates who are coordinated to counter instant death mechanics. Make sure to understand the following information and tricks to ensure you are not accidentally setting yourself or others up to die:

• Minezerok deals melee range damage to the tank holding aggro. A tank must aggro throughout the fight to control the direction of the 30-Degree AoE Cone mechanic that deals massive damage and can easily kill players behind the tank or who are caught in a CC. Players must watch out for when Minezerok charges its staff for about three seconds before delivering the powerful cone blast. It looks like Minezerok is spawning a gray spectral portal as well during this mechanic. An easy way to avoid this mechanic is DPS Minezerok while standing on the opposite side of the person holding aggro.
• The boss spawns multiple Expanding Lines of Black Smoke and particles on random players that repeatedly deal damage starting from one edge of the line to the other. Run out immediately as they deal massive damage if you stand in them.
• Minezerok has a mechanic commonly called the Soul mechanic. The boss selects players at random to Stun and attempts to steal their souls. Players must CC or heavily damage the souls walking toward Minezerok from the bodies of the chosen players to prevent them from dying.
• Following the Soul mechanic, Minezerok always casts a 180 Degree Red AoE Cone that one-shots most players within range toward the furthest player in its aggro pool. A Ranged DPS with the furthest attack range needs to bait the direction Minezerok blasts with AoE damage.
• Minzerok's Fury Attack is connected to a one-shot arena-wide AoE mechanic. Pay attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator and make sure to Block at the correct moment. After blocking, the boss releases dark magic all around itself and transforms into a Black Hole Pulling in all players within the arena. Wait about eight to nine seconds before you begin morph sprinting toward one of the Grapple Hooks located on the Northwest and Southeast sides of the arena near Minezerok. Make sure to spam your grapple hook button to ensure you dodge the Wave of Dark Energy moving towards you that 1-shots almost all players it touches.
• Properly geared SnS players can survive the wave in full T1 purple gear, especially with Blessed Barrier. Regardless, all players should dodge the wave of dark energy moving towards them as it's likely to be a 1-shot.
• During a Conflict spawn, players can strategically time the Fury Attack mechanic to wipe enemy players flying down from the grapple hooks. The wave's AoE is larger than it appears so make sure not to stand too close.

Junobote is a level 50 Field Boss that spawns on the 1st Floor of the Sanctum of Desire in the center of the Hall of Intelligence.

The Sanctum of Desire can be accessed through the Sanctum of Desire Waypoint, but keep in mind that this Open World Dungeon only opens its doors while it's raining. Players can enter while the doors are open and use a Guild Summon Stone to teleport guildmates inside if the doors are closed during the boss spawn time. Transcending Power: Heavy Rain could also open the doors of the Sanctum of Desire.

Junobote Mechanics and Tips

Junobote is a fun boss forcing you into a group trivia event. Pay attention to the question asked during the True or False trivia phase and answer correctly. If you can successfully pass the short test, this boss is fairly easy to do. Pay attention to the following mechanics:

• Junobote casts its Fury Attack often throughout the fight. It's a slowly charged ability that is easy to Block if you pay attention to the Purple Fury Attack indicator. After the Fury Attack, Junobote will follow up with a melee range attack that covers a 360-degree area around it.
• Players must pay attention above their heads as Junobote marks a player at random with a Red Flaming Orb. The person with the orb must turn Junobote away from other players to prevent them from getting hit by the Flaming Breath mechanic. The breath does not deal a lot of damage on initial impact but you accumulate more burn stacks the longer you are hit by the Flame Breathe.
• Junobote repositions to the center of the arena and lets out a big shout before flying into the air. Once in the air, the boss begins to cast AoE Explosions starting from the center of the arena, then the inner ring, and then the outer ring. Stay out of the red telegraphed lines to avoid damage.
• It is Quiz Time when Junobote says, "You have two choices. Be right or be dead!". The two statues in the arena will light up, and players must gather within the green AoE under The Statue of Truth if the answer to the question Junobote asks is true or The Statute of Falsehood if the answer is false. If you gather under the incorrect statue, Junobote deals damage and knocks all players who were wrong out of the arena, requiring them to fly back in.

The level 50 boss Nirma spawns on the 5th Floor of Syleus's Abyss in the southwest portion of the map. Similar to Aridus, the doors of this open-world Dungeon close during the night. You can use a Guild Summon Stone to teleport your guildmates inside while the doors are closed.

Nirma Mechanics and Tips

Nirma is one of the complicated bosses in Throne and Liberty that requires careful coordination to avoid raid wipes. Learn the following mechanics well, especially for Conflict spawns, as understanding Nirma's mechanics and arena layout is essential in successfully strategizing during battle:

• The most important thing to understand about Nirma is how it targets players during the entire battle and what this means for all players involved in the fight. When Nirma is engaged, the player furthest from the boss on the platform where it spawns is marked with a Glowing Orb and selected as its primary target. Everyone should position themselves opposite of the marked player to avoid AoE damage and a Fury Attack that bounces to a player near the marked target.
• When Nirma says, "Cry in desperation!" it casts Electrical AoEs that cover a part of the platform in a large cone. The person who is marked must move clockwise or in an agreed direction with their team to kite the Electrical AoEs away from allies. Everyone needs to avoid being hit by this AoE as it places a debuff on you that significantly reduces the healing you receive. Getting one stack of this debuff cuts healing in half, and receiving two stacks makes all heals you receive (including your potions) restore pretty much nothing. During this mechanic, Nirma simultaneously casts AoE blasts toward the marked player, including the same Fury Attack that you must block.
• It is helpful to pair whoever is marked throughout the fight with a healer who plays at long range or understands the mechanics of the boss. If the person marked has stacks of the healing debuff, multiple healers should coordinate the use of Blessed Barrier and the shield from Curse Explosion to prevent them from receiving damage if they are hit.
• When Nirma Spins and Raises its Staff in the air while gathering electrical currents toward its body, it casts an AoE attack that hits everyone on the platform. You must learn to time your jump to avoid the AoE blast. You can also face tank the damage and rely on your healer to restore your health.

Aridus is a level 50 Field Boss that spawns on the 5th floor of Syleus's Abyss. If Aridus is spawning during the night, make sure to be inside this open-world dungeon, as the doors close, preventing more players from entering. You can use a Guild Summon Stone to teleport your guildmates inside while the doors are closed.

The quickest way to Aridus is to use the Syleus's Abyss 1st Floor Dungeon Waypoint to teleport to the 6th Floor, and then turn around to enter the 5th Floor. From here, you simply travel north to the boss's spawn location.

Aridus Mechanics and Tips

Aridus, also known as the sleepy-time boss, is similar to Nirma, requiring precise coordination to complete successfully without many headaches. The following mechanics are what you need to know:

• Throughout the fight, Aridus maintains a summon of Three Wasps that follow three randomly selected players marked by a Green Light. The Wasps deal damage in a small AoE when they are near players.
• The Wasps are needed during the Sleep mechanic. Do not kill them! New Wasps spawn after the Sleep mechanic ends to prepare you for the next one.
• Throughout the fight, Aridus casts a line of Green Gas, as well as a cone of Green Gas that deals massive damage. Rely on your healer to restore your Health if you are hit, or dodge the damage by paying attention to the boss to watch the casting animation. The animation for the cone looks like Aridus is spawning a portal.
• The Sleep mechanic is Aridus' signature move. To successfully get past the Sleep mechanic, remember the following:
  • Aridus puts everyone on the platform to Sleep.
  • The three players with the Wasps and those around them are woken up first by the Wasp's AoE damage.
  • If you are Slept within the inner circle of the platform, you're safe from instant death.
  • If you're Slept on the outer ring, the players with the Wasps have to run past you allowing it to deal damage to you so you can wake up and move to the inner circle.
  • After a delay, those who aren't woken up in the outer ring instantly die.
• During the Sleep mechanic, players can be saved by a Staff wielder using Salvation Chain.
• Players with the Wasps should stay around the edge of the arena and rotate around a section of the platform so their teammates are aware of where they are and aren't being unnecessarily damaged by the Wasps' AoE.
