ArcheAge Chronicles bosses
Bosses in ArcheAge Chronicles fall into three buckets: field bosses, dungeon bosses, and three raids. No single official list covers all of them. The rows below are RaidDex’s, plus two names that appear in launch-day known issues.
Field bosses you will actually trip over
RaidDex counts 19 field bosses in Diamond Shores alone. A few low-level examples: Great Wild Bear at level 5 near Seaglass Workshop, with a community respawn of 6–12 minutes; Pallatius the Severer at level 5 by the Lost Docks; Bound Tyrant at level 6 at the Altar of Seals, marked one-time; Giant Alligator Turtle at level 6 in Lost Fishing Village, also one-time. That turtle is not the Deep Sea Primordial Brazier quest. The quest page keeps them apart.
Malchuk and Krogal show up in the launch known-issues post. Malchuk may fail to appear, or fail to be revivable, after a death. That is an official bug note, not a strategy.
Raids and Hersander’s Towers
Crimson Rift is Rift Warden at level 27, 8–12 players, a 9-minute RaidDex timer. Gylden Throne is Karshid at level 100, 20 minutes. Nakisian Temple is Celtak at level 90, 15 minutes. Hersander’s Tower is a per-region set: finishing the set is described as granting a unique accessory and opening the timed Hereafter Challenge. I do not have a full accessory stat block.

Questions people ask
Why is the first boss so hard?
Launch notes list bosses that fail to respawn and a tutorial that can stick. That is a bug report, not a statement that the fight is tuned to be unfair.
Where is the turtle boss?
Giant Alligator Turtle is a level-6 one-time field boss in Lost Fishing Village on RaidDex.
