Bosses in Derelict guard the best loot and test everything you have learned. This guide provides exact locations, recommended preparation, and fight strategies for every boss.

Avarus Captain

Location: Fort Hollow �?Teleport via Bonsai, head Southeast (between E and S on compass)

Recommended: Iron Sword, Iron Armor, stamina potions

Strategy

  • Learn his three-hit combo �?dodge after the second swing
  • Parry his overhead slam for posture break
  • Attack during recovery windows only

This is typically the first boss players attempt. Practice parry timing here.
