The Deadlands DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online introduces a new World Boss system that doesn't spawn bosses in one specific location. In addition to two traditional World Bosses (the Unmaker and Taupezu Azzida) the Deadlands is also home to three Wandering Executioners who are found throughout the new zone.
Irncifel the Despoiler, Kothan the Razorsworn, and Vorsholazh the Anvil are harder than normal world bosses, spawning with higher health pools and being capable of much stronger attacks. While all three of the new Elder Scrolls Online Wandering Bosses follow the same attack patterns and behavior, finding them is a different story.
Ircifel, Kothan, and Vorsholazh: The Deadlands Havocrels
The three Wandering Executioners of the Deadlands are Havocrels, a race of blind, enormous Daedra who serve no specific Prince (though most of the Havocrels players see in The Elder Scrolls Online serve Mehrunes Dagon). Because of their lack of allegiances, the Havocrels will take up contracts with various Princes for their own purposes.
Havocrels don't get along with each other because of their integral lack of an ability to create bonds, and thus these Daedra are usually found alone. In addition to the three Wandering Bosses, the Havocrel Duke of Storms is the final boss of Oblivion Portal Public Dungeons found throughout the Deadlands and Blackwood.
Where To Find The Wandering Bosses In ESO
As their designation implies, the three Wandering Bosses aren't fixed to a specific spawn point in the Deadlands like normal World Bosses. They spawn at random throughout the zone, and although only one appears to be available at any point, they respawn elsewhere in the zone after another has been downed. The Wandering Executioners will typically spawn in areas highlighted in blue on the above screenshot of the Deadlands map.
However, players have reported three major hotspots where they seem to spawn more often than elsewhere. As highlighted in red on the above screenshot, these spots are just outside False Martyr's Folly, in between the Raging Coast and Wounded Crossing Wayshrines, and Southeast of Brandfire Reformatory.
Wandering Bosses Drops and Other Rewards
When a Wandering Boss is downed, players who contributed majorly to the DPS charts will be able to loot the body. Some have guessed this is either given to the top 12 performing players, while others believe players have to contribute at least 3% of the overall DPS to receive loot. Either way, each Wandering Boss has a chance to drop the following items.
- Zone-specific item sets (not including Mythic items)
- Deadlands motifs
- Several Deadlands Antiquities leads
- Treasures and other sellable items
In addition to these rewards, players can also earn a new title by defeating all three of the Wandering Bosses in the Deadlands. The "Havocrel Hunter" title is rewarded for completing the "Bane of the Havocrels" achievement.
