'''Bosses''' are a special type of [[NPC]]s in [[Baldur's Gate 3]], describing unique, particularly strong enemies. The informal term ''Boss'' is used by the community to describe those NPCs, but is not mentioned in [[Quests]] or in the Journal. | |||
Whether an NPC is a boss is ultimately subjective. | |||
== Boss Categories == | |||
Bosses in [[Baldur's Gate 3]] can be divided in three categories, depending on their impact on the game: | |||
=== Main Story Bosses === | |||
* These bosses are integral to the main storyline and are encountered at key points in the game's plot. | |||
* Defeating them is often necessary to progress the story. | |||
:: Example: [[Ketheric Thorm]] | |||
=== Optional Bosses === | |||
* These are powerful enemies that players can choose to fight for additional rewards, lore, or challenges. | |||
* They are not mandatory for completing the main story but often finish optional quest lines. | |||
:: Example: [[Grym]] | |||
=== Mini-Bosses === | |||
* These are stronger than regular enemies but not as formidable as main story bosses. | |||
* They often serve as gatekeepers to important areas or significant loot. | |||
:: Example: [[Bulette]] | |||
== Unique Characteristics of Bosses == | |||
=== Increased Difficulty === | |||
* Bosses have higher health, stronger attacks, and better defenses compared to regular enemies. | |||
* They often have unique abilities or [[resistances]] that require strategic planning to overcome. | |||
:: Example: [[Call of the Damned]] used by [[Apostle of Myrkul]] | |||
=== Unique Rewards === | |||
* Defeating bosses typically yields rare or powerful loot, such as unique weapons, armor, or items. | |||
* Some bosses drop key items necessary for quest and story progression. | |||
:: Example: {{RarityItem|Ketheric's Netherstone}} | |||
=== Environmental and Encounter Design === | |||
* Boss fights often take place in specially designed arenas that complement the boss’s abilities. | |||
* The environment might provide hazards, cover, or interactive elements that influence the battle dynamics. | |||
:: Example: [[Lava]] during the [[Grym]] fight | |||
