I was three cups of coffee deep when a friend pinged me a screenshot: a boss had respawned because someone missed an egg. You feel that small, sharp panic—hours of progress teetering on a single missed click. I wrote this to keep you from squinting at the map and guessing.
On my commute I watched a player study a phone map like it held a flight plan. Here’s how to find all bosses in Romestead without wasting runs.
The early-access build gives you four boss encounters, solo or with friends. You’ll hunt them at specific lairs and trigger each fight with a small, repeatable action. Below I break the exact steps, share community tips from Steam, Discord, and Reddit, and point out the spots Moyens I/O and Three Friends screenshots show best.
How do I trigger the Guardian of Minerva?
Find it in the map’s top-left corner. There are three eggs sitting at the lair; break all three and the Guardian spawns. The prize is the Guardian’s Eye, so missing an egg means a wasted trip.
Community shorthand: follow the giant shadow in the sky and it will point you straight to the site. If you play with friends, call roles early—one person smashes eggs, another watches for adds. The fight rewards patience and clear sightlines.
Where is Pyzifax located?
Pyzifax sits in the Desert biome inside a large cedar compound. The route is simple: enter the dungeon, follow the main corridor, take the right, then the left at the end. Push past the final corridor into the chamber with a red box.
Break the red box and Pyzifax spawns. If you’re checking guides on Steam or watching clips on YouTube, the room layout repeats enough that memorizing the turns saves time. The desert was a furnace-breathing giant when I first cleared this fight—bring movement control and ranged answers.
How do I summon the Great Phoenix of Arabia?
Head to the Volcano biome and move to the southern lava fields. There’s an altar by a cluster of stones—destroy the altar and the Great Phoenix appears. The altar stands like a landmark; don’t confuse it with incidental rock piles.
If you’re watching speedruns or reading threads on Reddit, players often recommend bringing heat mitigation and an interrupt for the Phoenix’s flame sequence. Three Friends’ patch notes and Moyens I/O images are handy for confirming the exact tile where the altar sits.
Cyclops
The Cyclops is tied to the main campaign and appears during Virgil’s Poem. It lives in the Eye Dungeon at the end of that region; you’ll only reach it once the story takes you there. That means no early rush—save your strongest builds if you want to clear it clean.
Pro tip: run a practice round in a friend’s lobby or study recorded footage on Steam Workshop before you enter. The Cyclops has predictable telegraphs that reward spacing and timing.
Small maps, clear triggers, and community chatter on Discord mean you can plan each run instead of guessing—so which boss are you going to chase first?
