Has anyone managed to document the “new bosses” that were mentioned in Dry Top that are supposedly going to drop the Monkey King Tonic and Mini? I checked the wiki and haven’t found any new names yet. Personally, I’ve seen a few.

Sol Eater
– A Slightly Smaller colocal boss with the same mechanics as the colocal queen. Spotted pre-sandstorm at around 4 minute mark.
Grit
– A smaller Hostile Dust Monster that appears pre-sandstorm. Still have to kill the dust mites surrounding it to remove invulnerability. Spotted around 8 minuted mark.
Giant Beetle
– Just what the name sounds like. Appeared close to the beetle spawn area at the 6 minute mark during Tier 5 sandstorm phase. Has a “schockwave” mechanic that releases a aoe knockback at 50 charges (charges on hit?).
Experimental Aspect Suit
– This one appears to be more common but is new so I’ll spare the mechanics description. Appears in the Inquest Base in the new part of dry top pre-sandstorm I think.
Bloodscale
-Drake Broodmother type boss. Appeared directly west of prosperity waypoint on Salamander Rise a few minutes before the end of a tier 4 sandstorm. Had some sort of aoe attack but I didn’t seem affected by it.
Sand Savage
-Devourer boss. Appeared in the Lair of the Beast area at around 6 or 7 minute mark pre-sandstorm at Tier 4. Roughly same mechanics as Devourer Queen minus the minions.
Dune Drifter/Soarer
-Mentioned by other players. A Wind Rider boss. Spawns in devourer queen location.

If anyone has spotted any others that they want to add to the thread feel free. Perhaps someone can use this as a resource to update the wiki. I’ve heard that the Sol Eater and co. are Rare Spawns but that is a term unfamiliar to me thus far in GW2. If anyone knows more, please enlighten me.

Sol Eater reminds me – if only in name – to a certain GW1 boss…

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

I found a Dune drifter or what it’s called, don’t remember it’s name, spawn during pre-sandstorm at the place where Devourer Queen does.

I’m a casual PvE adventurer, I enjoy combat, adventure and helping, but not farming.
I rarely do PvP or Hard PvE, unless it’s organized.

Thanks! I updated the opening post with this info. From what I’ve gathered from other players, it does sound like the spawn times are pretty random with the same bosses appearing pre and post sandstorm. As far as spawn locations go, I seem to have found 2 bosses in roughly the same location and the others were in pretty different places. No clue how to identify exactly where one will spawn just yet.
