The hunt

Boss guide

Desert PW’s own bosses: where to find them, when they spawn, what they drop and how to beat them.

Coordinates are shown the same way as in the game above the minimap: X, Y and height. Times follow the server clock.

World boss

Khufu (Хеопс)

An awakened pharaoh in the shape of a giant pyramid. The server’s main boss: when he falls, sarcophagi with mummies appear around him.

Coordinates

Spawn
Once every 24 hours after a kill
Loot
Pharaoh Statuette («Статуэтка фараона») — 1 guaranteed. Whoever picks it up is recorded as the winner on the boss timers.

How to win

  1. Bring a party or a clan: Khufu has a billion HP and the fight is long. You will not last without a healer and buffs.
  2. The pharaoh casts his skills on a timer throughout the fight. Keep the healer a little apart and do not bunch up in one spot.
  3. Only one statuette drops. Agree beforehand who picks it up: the site credits the kill to whoever does.
  4. After the win, 5 sarcophagi appear in a circle of about 10 m around the battle spot. Do not leave right away.
  5. A sarcophagus opens in 5 seconds and the Pharaoh’s Mummy rises from it. Unopened sarcophagi vanish after 10 minutes.

Pharaoh’s Mummy (Мумия фараона)

The tomb guardian that rises from a sarcophagus after Khufu dies. Level 150, 500,000,000 HP. Drops gold and silver.

World boss

Dwarf in a Suit (Карлик в костюме)

A suspiciously elegant old man in a navy suit. A “matryoshka” boss: every time he is nearly beaten, he comes back again — bigger.

Isle of Morning Tears (in game: «Остров утренних слез»)
Coordinates
  • 694, 930 height 22
Spawn
Once every 24 hours after a kill
Loot
Only from the last stage, the Great Dwarf in a Suit: 5 loot rolls (gold and silver) and a world-wide announcement of the win.

How to win

  1. Every stage has a billion HP and regenerates 1% of it each tick. Keep hitting without pauses: with too little damage he simply heals back.
  2. He keeps casting mass crowd control and area damage. Bring several healers and keep your fighters spread out.
  3. Below 50% and 25% HP he starts using new, stronger skills. Save buffs and potions for those moments.
  4. At 10% HP the Dwarf disappears and the next stage takes his place at full HP: «Карлик в костюме II», then «III», and finally «Великий Карлик в костюме».
  5. The middle stages give nothing. The reward comes only from the Great Dwarf, so plan your strength for all four stages.

Raid

Desert raid

Every evening three raid bosses appear one after another on the Field of Ice Giants. If they are not killed by 21:00, they leave until the next day.

Level

Where
Field of Ice Giants
Coordinates
  • 355, 970 height 22
    Lord of the Sands («Владыка песков») — 19:00, 150 million HP
  • 358, 970 height 22
    Golden Pharaoh («Золотой фараон») — 19:04, 200 million HP
  • 361, 970 height 22
    Shield of the Desert («Щит пустыни») — 19:08, 250 million HP
Spawn
Daily at 19:00, 19:04 and 19:08; they leave at 21:00
Loot
Each drops a Raid Trophy («Трофей рейда»). Open it to get 50 Gold, 50 Platinum and 3 Swords of Summer Wind.

How to win

  1. At 18:55 the game announces the raid — gather your raid in advance.
  2. The bosses are level 150 and stand close together, 30 m apart. Do not pull the next one until the current one is down.
  3. Start with the Lord of the Sands: he has the least HP. The Shield of the Desert is the toughest — leave him for last.
  4. The server has open PvP: rivals may show up at the raid. Keep part of the raid guarding the healers.

Every hour

Sand Predator (Песчаный хищник)

A naga spear warrior risen from the sands. He spawns at two spots in the world and returns every hour — a good target for a small party.

Coordinates

  • 374, 999 height 23
Spawn
1 hour after a kill
Loot
3 loot rolls: about 6 Gold and 1–2 Platinum on average.

How to win

  1. Level 100 with about 31 million HP: a party of 3–5 geared characters can handle him.
  2. He hits much harder than ordinary mobs and is well armoured. A tank or a healer makes the fight much easier.
  3. There are two spots: if he has already been killed at one, check the other.

PvP arena

Arena Guard (Страж арены)

A mini-boss of the PvP arena. Four guards stand along the edges of the arena among the Demon Warrior Spirits.

How to win

  1. Level 100, about 31 million HP, 1.5× the damage and twice the defence of a Demon Warrior Spirit.
  2. This is a PvP arena: while you fight a guard, other players can attack you. Go as a party.
  3. Clear the Demon Warrior Spirits around the guard first: they also drop Copper, Silver and sometimes Gold.
