Area Bosses
| What | Bosses that appear on ordinary hunting maps |
|---|---|
| Respawn (area bosses) | A check every 3 hours: if the boss is missing it appears again |
| Respawn (map bosses) | A fixed time after the boss dies |
| Entry | None; walk in |
Area bosses are field bosses anyone can meet by walking to their map. There are two kinds.
Bosses on a three-hour check
Every three hours the game checks each of these maps on each channel. If the boss is not there it appears, and players on the map see its line in blue. A killed boss therefore returns at the next check, between a few minutes and three hours later; one nobody kills simply stays. The clock and a wounded boss's HP survive a server restart.

| Faust | 50 | Ellinia forest | "Faust appeared amidst the blue fog." |
| Timer | 59 | Ludibrium (three maps) | "Tick-Tock Tick-Tock! Timer makes it's presence known." |
| Giant Centipede | 50 | Mu Lung herb garden | "From the mists surrounding the herb garden, the gargantuous Giant Centipede appears." |
| Bamboo Warrior | 68 | Zipangu | "From amongst the ruins shrouded by the mists, Bamboo Warrior appears." |
| Dyle | 65 | Kerning swamp | "The huge crocodile Dyle has come out from the swamp." |
| Zeno | 65 | Omega Sector | "Zeno has appeared with a heavy sound of machinery." |

| Nine-Tailed Fox | 70 | Korean Folk Town | "As the moon light dims, a long fox cry can be heard..." |
| King Sage Cat | 77 | Mu Lung | "The ghostly air around here has become stronger..." |

The six demon lairs
Marbas, Amdusias, Andras, Crocell, Valefor and Astaroth (level 25) have their own lairs in the Mini Dungeon behind the Demon's Doorway. Besides the three-hour check, each demon appears the moment a player walks into its lair if it is not already there ("Valefor has appeared!").
Common problems:
- The Doorway will not let me in on "Catch Valefor!": the Dark Lord gives you Valefor's Emblem when you accept the quest; the emblem, not Shumi's coin, opens the Doorway.
- The lair was empty: walk out and back in; the demon now appears on entry.
Bosses with a respawn timer
These stand in a map's own spawn list and return a fixed time after they die (the timer survives restarts).
