There’s quite a lot of threads here about secret bosses in the Nightmare Chambers, but they seem to be incredibly rare… like 1/20. I’ve done 14 chambers and not encountered a single one. From what I gather, you don’t even get any special reward or achievement from them, so it’s purely for the fun of the experience. But since I can’t enter the same chamber twice in a row, I have to wade through a lot of mobs and potential blocks just for a chance at experiencing something potentially fun. If there’s a trick to get them to spawn, or at least I’m all ears. It’s either that or park alts at different chambers.

I must have missed the threads. Which ones are the secret bosses?

Edit: If you mean the characters from your personal story I think it depends on the character you use. I’ve done it on my human Whispers agent who’s only gotten up to the 1st level 80 story and so far I’ve only seen Tybalt twice and Logan once.

I suspect the Destiny’s Edge member is dependant on your race and the other’s are dependant on your personal story choices. If you haven’t gotten very far through the story you’re less likely to see those bosses because there will be less options.

Yesterday when I was running around with a friend to the chambers for the achievements we encountered them fairly frequently. Today I’ve been mostly getting the spiders.

there are secret bosses? I suddenly feel very lucky to had a rematch with Molten berserker. Even if he was scaled way down.

Using a lv. 80 human that killed Zhaitan. 0 secret bosses. Also a lv. 80 Norn that killed Zhaitan. 0 secret bosses.

Encountered vet spider as boss, one of the prisoners I freed was Kahedins. What’s up with that?

I wouldn’t call them secrete bosses. Just random.

Well, they never show up for me, and had it not been for the forums, I never would have known that they exist. That’s why to me they’re secret.

So far I’ve had to kill Eir+Garm and Zoija+Mr Sparkles, apart from the nameless mob types (I’ve seen one of those Scarlet invasion type of champ or aetherblade dudes).

At number 17 I finally fought Forgal… then on my Norn I fought Sieran. Nada the next few times, but it’s possible it’s a 1/10 chance. I still want to see the Trahearne fight and a Destiny’s Edge fight, but I’m not sure how much longer I’ll keep this up once I have my Tri-chest achievement maxed.

FYI, this is more or less something I desperately wanted… back during Queen’s Jubilee. Which is why it annoys me that the encounters are so random.

I did not get any recognizable bosses on my 80 that has completed the personal story (it is a human). I got Trehearn, Caithe and the molten boss on an 80 that has up to eye of zhaitan and did not do the molten facility. It is a sylvari toon though.

In my experience, the bosses are based on

1. personal story – You may occasionally encounter the mentor of the instance starter
2. Race – You may occasionally encounter the destinies edge member who shares your race
3. personal story? – You may occasionally encounter traeherne

Non “secret” bosses include the spider (both veteran and champion) the watchworks, the aetherblades, and possibly even the molten bezerker (who I encountered on a character that have never even existed during the molten factory segment)

The mentor is obviously based on what order the instance owner created. As far as I can tell the destiny edge people you face are those that mirror your race. My charr ele has fought rytlock, and my norn guardian has seen Eir/garm twice. But Ive yet to encounter any of the others. Im not sure if there’s a trigger for traeherne, but one assumes youve probably had to at the very least complete forging the pact (as he refers to you as commander)

Sounds correct. My Sylvari vigil warrior with completed story has seen Caithe, Forgal and Trehearne

I rather expect it to be completely random to be honest. It’s kinda natural for humans to try find a pattern but I doubt there is one. My Norn ranger ending up fighting Zoija and Mr Sparks doesn’t correlate with anything in her personal story or race.

So far I’ve only fought Tybalt twice, and the Sonic Berserker twice. I have yet to see Trahearne or Logan.

I have yet to meet Trahearne or any member of Destiny’s edge. Got Tybalt three times. I also met both Faren and Petra.

Were you in a team? Did a Asura open the instance? It’s possible that it is random and dumb luck, but every time I’ve seen one of Destiny’s Edge they have corresponded racially to the character opening the instance.

I never encountered Zojja so far, but it definitely tracks your personal story and race – Scarlet commented on my first invention (infinity ball, still adore that storyline) in one instance.
Apart from that, I only got Tybalt as special boss ;_;

it mostly follows the personal story choices the player who starts the instance made, So if you had a norn, you have a much higher chance at Eir, if your a whisper agent, then tybalt and so on. Its still random but with a higher % at your personal choices,

Our characters never met Snaff. I’d guarantee if Zojja entered the tower there would be a Snaff hallucination.
