Boss Guide

Cinder & Crown features 6 zone bosses (one per zone, requires a party of at least 2) and 6 world bosses (group-scale encounters with massive HP pools). This guide covers stats, strategy tips, enrage mechanics, and full loot tables for every boss.


Zone bosses guard the exit of each zone. They use ×3.5 ATK multiplier and ×18–28 HP multiplier relative to zone base stats. Boss fights require a party of at least 2 — boss HP scales with party size (partySize / 5 of maximum).
