Black Desert Online Boss Locations and Loot

Strategy For Bosses In BDO

If you want to be able to kill all bosses repeatedly, you’ll need 3 characters(I recommend alts) in order to do so. The first location I recommend you leaving a character is by Bandit’s Den Byway. This way you’ll have quick access to 4 of the bosses in game, Karanda, Dim Tree Spirit, Dastard Bheg and Red Nose.

If you want to do Kzarka and Mudster, I recommend that you place your character at Glish, since it’s a quick transport to both locations.

You should place a character at Sand Grain Bazaar if you want to attend Kutum and Nouver. Bare in mind not as many people do these bosses seeing as they are in the desert. So this one is more of an optional option, if you only have 1-2 boss characters I recommend you do the others instead. However, since not as many people do these bosses, you have a higher chance of getting boss gear.

Having more ap on your character will give you a higher chance of placing in a higher looting bracket. The higher bracket you are placed in the higher chance you have of getting good loot, as we will compare for each boss in the game.

Also, getting S knowledge on the bosses helps improving the loot slightly. For example in order to get higher knowledge for Kzarka, you’ll need speak to Hakkon and play the Amity game in order to do so. This however can take a lot of energy if you are unlucky.

Difference Between World Bosses and Field Bosses

There are two types of bosses in the game, world bosses and field bosses. World bosses share HP across all the servers, while field bosses do not. This means that when you are hunting field bosses, you can switch channel after the boss has been killed, and go and kill it again. Sometimes for less popular bosses(such as red nose) you can even do this multiple times. I have been able to kill Red Nose up to 6 times before it being dead on all channels. You used to be able to do this with world bosses as well, but since the HP is now shared across all the servers it’s not possible to do anymore.

Boss Locations

Kzarka Location

Kzarka is located in Serendia Shrine. It is a world boss, meaning that it shares HP across all the channels.

The loot you get from kzarka is usually Black Stone (Armor), Black Stone (Weapon), Gold Bar 10G, Hunter’s Seal and Kzarka’s Latent Aura(1-2) and silver. When you have 100 of the Auras, you can trade them in for a Kzarka’s Sealed Weapon Box. You can also get the Weapon box as a drop from Kzarka itself.

Below we can see the drop rates for loot you would get if you place in the top 50 players in terms of the damage to the boss. As we can see Vipers and Harphia are very common to get, Black stones are even more common, and you’ll always get Hunter’s seals, which can be traded in for Black stones and other things around the game.

If you place in the top 20 of the players, your chance of getting good loot increases dramatically, see below:

This is why you want to have as much AP as possible, in order to do the most damage to the boss. 4% chance of getting the box is actually really good. Don’t count of placing in the top 20 often thought, at least not on world-bosses, as these bosses are server-wide, meaning that you are competing vs all the players killing the boss.

Karanda Location

Karanda is located at Karanda Ridge. It is also a world boss.

The thing that stands out with Karanda is that you can get the Dandelion weapon box from her, which is the best awakening weapon in the game, making it one of the most popular bosses in the game to kill. If you place in the top 50 this is the drop table for Karanda:

As we can see you have 1% chance of getting the Dandelion Weapon Box if you place in the top 50 of players. If you place in the top 70 you only have 0.3% chance to get the box. So you want to make sure you place at least in the top 50. If you place in the top 20 of players this chance increases to 2.8%. I would however not count at doing so, as this boss is very popular to kill.

If you are only going to attend 1 boss in bdo I recommend it being this one along with Vell.

Dim Tree Spirit Location

Dim Tree is located in forest of seclusion. It is a field boss, meaning the HP is not shared between channels.

Since loot is only shared between one channel on field bosses, you should always be able to get in the top 20 players, here’s the drop table:

Liverto and awakening boxes are a very common drop from this boss, making it worthwhile to kill. In Dim trees case, you can also get Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor and Belt, which makes it more worthwhile to kill then most of the other field bosses. If you are parked at bandits den, its a close walk there.

Dastard Bheg Location

Dastard Bheg is located in Northern Plain of Serendia. It is a field boss.

Dastard Bheg drops the Bheg’s gloves, which is the best in slot gloves in black desert. Here’s the drop table for Bheg(top 20 players):

As we can see in the picture above you have a pretty high chance(19%) of aquring an awakening weapon box. There’s also a 19% chance of getting a Liverto box. Bheg’s gloves drop rate is pretty low(1.5%), but since you can kill him on multiple channels it is still pretty common to get these gloves(out of all boss gear in the game, this is the most common one)

Red Nose Location

Red Nose is located just outside Western Guard Camp. It is a field boss.

There’s only a 1% chance of getting the Red Nose’s Armor, which isn’t even the best in slot armor for most classes(Dim Tree is). Dim Tree Armor gives 200 hp more, which is why it’s better. There’s not really much point in doing this boss if you are not in need of the Red Nose Armor. If you are going to skip a boss, this among with the desert bosses(kutum, nouver) are the ones I recommend skipping.

Giant Mudster Location

Mudster is located east of Central Guard Camp. It is a field boss.

It doesn’t drop any boss gear, but it drops good crystals and Mark of Shadow frequently(20% chance). Here’s the drop table:

Ancient Kutum Location

Kutum is located in the Scarlet Sand Chamber.

Top 20 players get 4% chance of getting the box and top 50 get 1% chance of getting the box.

Nouver Location

Nouver is located southeast of sand grain bazaar. He is a big dragon walking around in the desert, so it is pretty easy to spot him. Not very many people hunt him these days so it might be empty when you go there. This is why I personally don’t go for nouver and kutum.

The loot for nouver and kutum is exactly the same drop-rate and everything, except nouver drops the nouver sub-weapon box instead of kutum. Depending on your class and if you’re into PvP or PvE, one is better than the other.

Muraka Location

Muraka is located west of Manshas Forest.

He drops black stones, hunter seals and mutant enhancer and if you’re lucky he drops Dim Ogre Ring. 20 mutant enhancer can be exchanged Mark of Shadow or Witch’s Earring. You can also save up 100 of them and exchange it for a Ogre Ring. Dim Ogre Ring drops at around a 1% chance. It can be opened, which gives one of the following: Shattered Necklace, Ogre Ring, PRI: Ogre Ring, DUO: Ogre Ring.

Quint Location

Quint is located around Quint Hill.

Both Quint and Muraka spawns at the same time, so when they do, make sure you go to Muraka first, because it usually dies quicker and drops better loot than Quint does. The loot is pretty much the same except for that Quint doesn’t have a chance of dropping the Dim Ogre Ring, making Muraka better to focus on first.

Vell

Vell is a sea monster boss that spawns far out in the ocean north of Velia.

Vell got a chance to drop a 1000g gold bar, worth 100 million silver. It also drops vell’s heart, which is an alchemy stone which gives 3 ap and other good effects, making it very sought out after. Vell’s Concentrated Magic can also be created into a Vell’s Heart, so the drop rate is higher than 0.01% Here’s the drop table of the boss:
