Dimraeth Boss Guide — All Act 1 Bosses, Bounties & Rewards

Act 1 ships with a dozen bosses and mini-bosses spread across Earlwood, the Wildwood and the corrupted zones. Most of them matter for one reason: each boss first-kill grants a skill point. This page lists every boss, where it spawns, and the two route traps that send new players the wrong way. Last verified October 27, 2026.

The Bounty System

Boss first-kills are the game’s second skill-point source. The level cap is 25 (48 points from levels), and bounties add up to 12 more — a full 60-point build is only possible if you hunt every boss. See the skill tree guide for the full budget.

Alpha Wolf — Two Different Fights

Players confuse these constantly, so here is the split:

• Den Alpha Wolf (chapter 1): guards the Moonridge Vale zone — the second Earlwood area, west of the forest. Drops loot only.
• Bounty Alpha Wolf: the one that grants the skill point, at the Beast-Occupied Ruins northeast of Corins Camp in the deeper Wildwood. This is also the fight that unlocks the Fangra Cub pet.

Goblin King — The Chapter 2 Route Trap

The Goblin King (Horde King) is the chapter-2 story boss at the end of the Goblin Caves. The trap is getting there: the "Find the Goblin Hideout" objective has a misleading branch through the Wildwood Caverns. The tell that you are on the right route is the objective changing to "Clear the Raid".

How to Approach Bosses

• Bounty order follows the story route — you pass most of them in campaign order, so fight them on the way instead of backtracking.
• Element matchups beat raw aggression: match spells to each region’s weaknesses rather than spamming one element.
• Gear tier carries harder than character level at the cap — a higher rarity tier out-stats a "right slot" piece (see armors).
