Boss fights are major enemy encounters that progress the game and unlock new areas in Attune.

• Bosses will be located in dedicated boss chambers, which are pre-generated into the world.
• Boss chambers are locked until the appropriate conditions have been met (e.g. quest completion or item used).
• Once the boss fight starts, the chamber is locked until either the player or the boss if defeated.
• Bosses have multiple fighting phases:
  • Each phase has a set of attack patterns.
  • Attack patterns increase in deadliness and complexity in successive phases.
  • Each phase contains at least 1 vulnerable state the boss can enter, which allows the player a window of opportunity to damage the boss an extensive amount.
  • Until the vulnerable state is reached, boss fights consist of dodging attacks and dealing chip damage.
  • Attacks are mostly choreographed with visual indicators that show their shape and AOE, unless they are traditional projectiles.
• After defeat, the boss drops experience and a rare catalyst for use in the next crystal attunement.
• The player is also rewarded with an ancient fragment which unlocks the next portion of the map, raises the max level cap, and furthers the main story quest line.
