King Slime
While considered a mini-boss, King Slime shouldn't be underestimated, especially by low-level players. Note: no soul points are awarded for this boss.
King Slime spawns after 100 Slimes are killed on the server. It appears near the city closest to the last slain slime's location; a Quest Board announcement confirms its arrival. The quest has two steps:
This quest has a 30-minute server-wide cooldown.
King Slime has 400 HP (600 HP if Corrupted), the lowest of any boss. Its main attack involves summoning more Slimes, which can overwhelm players. It also uses AOE poison attacks; bring potions and cleansing abilities. Its low HP allows for a straightforward fight. Focus on eliminating summoned Slimes before attacking King Slime. AOE attacks only inflict Poison, not direct damage.

Yar’thul, the Blazing Dragon
A fire-type boss using fire-based attacks. Most attacks inflict Inferno and Burning, making preparation crucial. It resists fire and physical damage, but is weak to Hex damage.
Yar’thul resides deep within Mount Thul, an active volcano in the desert.
Yar’thul has 1200 HP (1800 HP if Corrupted). Its high damage output necessitates a swift victory. Below 50% HP, it enters a second phase, summoning meteors that inflict stunning and healing reduction. The Dragon Ring and Pristine-level accessories ease this battle. The Corrupted version has lifesteal.
