How to make open world mini bosses more difficult:
- The open world mini boss difficulty can be increased by having double bosses in the same zone as the player. The player would verse them simultaneously. One monster can heal the other monster and buff their attack and defence etc. ( These mini boss monster would play like the players party casting,using skills,healing,dodging,)
New world Npc factions can be open world mini bosses:
-
The open world mini bosses can be from the npc factions of new world, ( angry earth, the lost, ancients, corrupted, beasts,) they can be human npc factions. As more npc faction types are added, the open world mini bosses types can be expanded.
-

-
the npc faction units can have unique weapon types and abilities (skills) exclusive to their faction. example the lost npc faction have the sycthe while other factions dont have this weapon type etc.
-
when npc faction are weilding the same weapon types, they would have unique abilities from their faction the lost heavy unit would have their own sword art and skills , light and heavy attacks etc different from the corrupted heavy unit.

while some units will be unique to their faction only.
