Acts and their bosses

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sunmeadow Wilds | Slime King (Goblin Chief also appears) |
| 2 | The Dungeon | The Crypt Lord |

Boss names are spelled differently across guides (Malgrath / Mallgrath / Malgoth, Grimsow / Grimza, Vitrea / Vitria) — they’re the same bosses.

About the ⚠️ rows: guides copied each other’s notes from the same video, and a few slipped. Boss names help: The Crypt Lord is the Act 2 boss and Mother Blight the Act 3 boss, so where a guide pairs a boss with a different act, farm the act that boss belongs to first. We’ll fix rows as soon as one is confirmed in game.
