King Slime
While considered a mini-boss, the King Slime shouldn't be underestimated, especially by lower-level players. Note that this boss does not yield soul points.
King Slime Location
The King Slime spawns after 100 Slimes are defeated on the server. It appears near the city closest to the last slain slime's location, announced on the Quest Board. The quest has two steps: find and kill the King Slime. This quest has a 30-minute global server cooldown.
King Slime Fighting Strategy
The King Slime has 400 HP (600 HP if Corrupted), the lowest of any boss. Its main attack involves summoning additional Slimes, which can overwhelm players if not dealt with promptly. It also uses AoE poison attacks, so potions and cleansing abilities are recommended. Its low health makes the battle relatively straightforward: focus on eliminating the summoned Slimes before attacking the King Slime itself. Its AoE attacks only inflict poison, not direct damage, providing opportunities for counterattacks.
| Attacks | Energy Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| **Slime Creation** | 1 | Summons a Slime to fight for King Slime. |
| **Crush** | 0 | King Slime lunges forward, attacking a party member. |
| **Poison Eruption** | 2 | King Slime throws out a burst of Acid, poisoning your party. This attack cannot be dodged or blocked. |
| **Scalding Spray** | 3 | King Slime erupts with boiling hot liquid, poisoning your party. This attack cannot be dodged. |
King Slime Drops and Rewards
Possible drops from defeating the King Slime include: Random Tier 1 Equipment, Slime Buckler, Gelat Ring.
Quest Board rewards for completing the King Slime event: Ferrus Skin, Potion, Small Health Potion, Essence, Gold.
Yar’thul, the Blazing Dragon

Yar’thul Location
Yar’thul resides deep within Mount Thul, an active volcano in the desert.
Yar’thul Fighting Strategy
Yar’thul boasts 1200 HP (1800 HP if Corrupted). Its high damage output and Inferno/Burning effects make it a race against time. Upon reaching 50% health, it enters a second phase, summoning meteors that inflict stuns and healing reduction. The Dragon Ring and Pristine-level accessories significantly ease this battle. The Corrupted version gains lifesteal.
| Attacks | Energy Cost | Effect |

Thorian Location
Thorian is found in the Deeproot Canopy within the Cess Grounds.
Thorian Fighting Strategy
Thorian has 2600 HP (3900 HP if Corrupted). A key mechanic involves its passive negation: attacking twice with the same type heals it. Vary your attack types. It's highly resistant to all damage except Holy (135% damage) and slightly weak to fire. Below 50% health, it unleashes a devastating attack inflicting Plague, Curse, and Hexed (15-turn cooldown).
| Attacks | Energy Cost | Effect |

Metrom’s Vessel Location

Metrom’s Vessel Fighting Strategy
Metrom’s Vessel is characterized by extremely high HP (10,000 HP, 15,000 HP if Corrupted) and damage negation. The fight is long (30-60 minutes) and involves two phases with different mechanics.
