All 19 field bosses by level

A “–” means we know of no fixed respawn. Loot lists the most important drops besides the Corrupted Heart, which 14 of the 19 bosses drop. Pallatius the Severer and Aventus drop gold instead of the heart.

Tip: Mad Anchor Krogal (level 8) and Poldat (level 9) both stand at the Cliffs of Madness. They only return every 60 minutes, but always drop the Hatora Ring or the Mad Pirate Hat plus a Tempering Stone.

Crimson Rift: Vanguard of Destruction

Numbers 16 to 18 share one spot in the south: Vanguard of Destruction (rank S), Harbinger of Oblivion and Rift Warden, all level 27. The Vanguard is the final boss of the Crimson Rift raid for 8 to 12 players with a 9-minute time limit. It always drops the Vanguard Armor and 5 Standard Archeum, plus a Void Heart at 60 %, an Immortal Heart at 40 %, a Lunastone of Conquest, Valor, Vitality or Focus at 25 % each and, at 1.25 % each, a piece of the Reckless Vanguard gear: Helmet, Armor, Gauntlets or Greaves. Harbinger of Oblivion and Rift Warden drop no loot of their own.

Watch out: Pathwarden Jul in the Collapsed Northern Ruins is level 40 – by far the strongest field boss in Diamond Shores. Leave him for last or bring a group. In return he is the only field boss here that drops Vivid Tempering Stones on top of Faint ones, plus 4 Standard Archeum and one of 8 Lunastones at 12.5 % each.
