Is there a resource on how to spawn bosses (P1)?

e.g.: does Andariel Spawn on Entering Lvl4 or do you have to walk up to her a little to spawn her?

cheers

I don't understand what you are looking for. Can you explain it more?

when you spawn e.g. andariel with 1 player in game and then the others rejoin then the fight will be easier ( that's true for any monster i guess ).

i would like to know WHEN the boss is spawned, e.g.: will andariel be spawned when you come down the stairs to lvl4 instantly or will you need to walk up to her through the door to spawn her.

Or like in Ubers is it enough to take the Portal to tristram to spawn ALL of them?

Or DClone on Frigid Waypoint is that already close enough to spawn him or do we need to walk up? He seems to be a little more to the northeast of eldritch when i see him.

There is this rough saying of 2 screens within the monsters are loaded/spawned i would like to get a little more detail.

I never tested from how far boss are spawned. But thinking about for a bit you can try using the inmortal barb to look around and see if you can get the point where they spawn.
I tried this in Andariel. Opened the door from far away using telekinesis and walked with the "ghost" of my barb where Andariel should be, but it seems it is not loaded yet from the point i started.

That is awesome M8!!!

Could you test maybe, if walking into the top-left corner next to the entrance and then going to your spot maybe does the trick? Or maybe also teleporting to the bottom right in Andariels room and back?

I didn't know you could do that i am impressed ^^

Btw this is just entering Andarie's floor, without even moving from the stairs. The program already detects the boss spawned.



So now i'm not sure what the game is doing.

From the usual noob rush spot at the right it seems loaded.

If i go any up-right from here, it detects Andariel.




Tried in the left side, the pervert voyeur barb confirms it is not loaded from that point



So it seems Andariel is indeed loaded as you enter the floor. But if you go south game unloads her, and loads her again when you go near.

In Meph, both results, from the program and the ghost barb, agree. Going further up/left from this point spawns the boss.



Here is already loaded.

Diablo line is here. Further up-left, it spawns.


Here he is already on.

That is so interesting !

I never thought about them "unspawning" too but now it reminds me to the Chaos Seal popping Trick where you can kill all monsters that you have seen within the last 6-8 seconds before popping the seal. They will despawn if you wait too long too. I will test if damaged monsters keep existing there.

But i don't think half-damaged bosses do de- and respawn when you move far away ( maybe they do ^^, maybe only the TPs prevent them from despawning ).

So there may be a #1 general spawn point and when you get closer there may be a #2 spawn activation/monster perming point.

Does the barely spawned Andariel keep existing when you teleport up to her and back? It maybe just not showing on Vectors when too far away too.

When she really does despawn try damaging her and see if she respawns with full life ^^
