Bunch of lox are probably enough

That's not the point...

Bosses are programmed to not fight each other (not even sure if they can even take damage from other enemies at all since all enemies are also programmed to not target bosses)

The only interesting interaction I can think of between bosses is if yagluth and bonemass were near each other, since bonemass forces rain and yagluth forces it to not rain. If bonemass’s rain overrides yagluth, fighting him with bonemass nearby might be a strategy to survive vs yagluth since his fire attacks will be rendered useless in the rain.

In theory, I think it should work.

I would assume the bosses are allied with other enemy mobs from their biome (skeletons I bet are a Swamp mob and that is why they fight trolls and dwarfs in Black Forest) and enemies with one another.

Would be really cool to try out.
In fact, Elder and Moder are on the same island in one of the worlds I play in... but it's not my world, and I don't know if my friend would be willing to do such an experiment if I asked him. It might be possible to lure Moder down from her mountain.

Yes.

Bring a bunch of ancient seeds to the Elder spawn and kick up four or five of them for a challenge!

Oh yeah, you can fill a forest with elders if you want.

I wouldnt use bosses for this since we have this cool summon at altar mechanic. But mini bosses that are actually a sight to behold. Yes please.. that way it wouldnt be limited to just the biome the boss is in. They would be everywhere. All biomes get boring after some time since every biome lacks a monster that is a challenge for more than just the next tier of equipment. Having a monster that is a constant challenge... would be nice.

Maybe not in the swamps anymore.. if they buff the abominations. And get rid of the fire things in the swamps. But the black forest seriously needs more than the odd troll roaming around.. the mountains need far more stuff that actually can move there.. and the plains.. could use some giant monsters. Lox are nice and all but eh.

It's a bit troubling that the only challenge here is not getting cocky. Before I went into the plains I've read a lot of comments here saying how hard the plains are.

Yeah no.. not really hard unless I just try to rambo into every village and tar pit. Even that works for some village with some atgeir. How awesome would it be if we could see some titans roaming there? Something that makes you run when you see it. Not when getting hit and see your hp only having 10 points left.

We tried fighting bonemass on our server and decided to make a tactical retreat.
Turns out many days later he was still somewhere in the swamp doing whatever he likes to do. Pretty far away from his spawn too.
It would make a nice playtrough to have all bosses already spawned in their biomes, making trips there more dangerous. Like at first he hunts you but then you become the predator. Also you'd have to go monster hunting and have to track it down once it's time to kill it!

just lucky it wasn't the elder- his root spawn hits wherever you are.

It wouldn't really change much, to be honest. The odds your starting biomes would have boss spawners is pretty low. So realistically it wouldn't affect anything until you actually went looking for the bosses and found the nearest spawn location, in which case you'd have to hunt them down but wouldn't have to spawn them manually.

The only really serious effect would be with Eikthyr, which you would probably encounter extremely early, way before you could deal with it.

Fair point, maybe have bosses like bonemass appear in swamps that contain crypts only. That way no iron without being on his territory.

I can see Eikthyr destroying beginner bases. Maybe he would need a script where you can see him in the distance from time to time. For others you'd have to scout the surrounding before deciding if you wanna settle in the biome.

Someone pointed out that Elder's roots hit wherever you are, so there could be like roots attacking you from time to time when you're in his forest until you find him.

Didn't deal with Moder or the one after yet so IDK how it would go.

Agree, would be cool. Though which of the fifty or so swamps would he be in?

Every one that has his spawn point... This way if you find the runestone, you know which swamp the closest bonemass would be in.

Now you just have to find him.
