yeah, I suspect a bug, or maybe we missed something, some bosses have been packing 2 elites. People have been to above and checked. hmm A steer from AN would be nice

There is one explorable area that has not been mentioned: Raisu Palace explorable. You enter it from Imperial Sanctum. I do not know if the missing skills are there.

Checking Raisu Palace explorable atm. So far the bosses there only have the same caps as they do in the mission

I checked most of those places last week they arent found anywhere. The only place that might be worth exploring is the thannaki temple exploreable area i didnt get a chance to explore it totally because of a Comp crash but I dont think any other bosses but the wanderlust boss is there.

Coward is used by Luxon Warriors so a Luxon Warrior Boss most likley has it but where?
Heal as One is on Luxon Rangers but no known boss do far
Psychic Instabaility is on Kurzick Mesmers but no boss so far.

Could it be possible for faction bosses show up once the enemy has push deep enough into their territory?

Well I unlocked those skills via faction but i would still like to cap them on my PvE toons.

I wonder if we should submit bug reports. It does seem very odd that no one anywhere has seen hide nor hair of them.

Well, Eli doesn't have Coward.

Jade Sea is completely cleared now. 1 thing that requires a notice: there are 2 Outcast Warrior bosses who both have 'Charge!' as elite, 1 in Gyala Hatchery and 1 by the Luxon entrance of Unwakening Waters. Maybe this is the bug, 1 of them should have Coward instead of both 'Charge!'

I have noticed that some missions contain different bosses if you are about to complete it on Master's vs Standard. Perhaps this is the reason we haven't been able to find those last few elites...

I'm not sure about that part, but some missions such as Tahnnakai Temple have random spawning bosses (in TT, there's 8 Constructs, but only 4 spawn per mission). How are you certain there's a spawing based on Master's vs. Standard?

Other possibilities could involve the east side of Shing Jea Island. But mostly, I just think it's bugs keeping these bosses from spawning or having them spawn without the skills.

I am basing this solely on Sanjiang District Mission (pardon my spelling if it is incorrect). I have completed this mission three times with the same character. This first two times I completed it at the Standard Level, and had the identical set of constructs each time. The 3rd time as I completed it on Master's, I had a different set of constructs (and I was annoyed since I was going after an elite that was no longer there...). So, I can't say for certain that this is true, but I feel safe saying that it is a possibility.

I found only wanderlust there as well.

I did this mission like 11 times trying to cap all the skills. There's randomness to it. There's 8 possible constructs and only 4 appears each time. It is possible that the spawned set is linked to the clock time it takes to get to the cutscene, but it is more likely that they are just random 4. The assassin and the ritualist construct I've found out in the explorables. The other six are only available in this mission.

You won't find Heal as One there. I'm sure I have capped the ranger skill - I cant remember what it is, but that's definitly not Heal as One.

Or somewhere that not too many people have got to yet (i.e. Raisu Pavilion, Aurios Mines, Amatz Basin missions or remote PvE regions). I went several times to Armatz Bassin with henchies. I've never seen a boss there. Unless they spawn very late in the game, you won't find the missing elite there. I'm going to check Aurios Mines.

Side-note: has Dragon's throat been explored far enough to make sure they aint there?

It's just the 4 constructs that appear at the end of the Sunjian District mission is a subset out of 8 possible.

Warrior construct: hundre blades
Mesmer construct: psychic distraction
Monk construct: life sheath
Ranger construct: equinox
Elementalist construct: mirror of ice
Necromancer construct: soul bind
Ritualist construct: soul twisting
Assassin construct: temple strike

The ritualist construct can be found just outside the Kurzick entrance to Unwaking Waters and the Assassin Construct can be found in the middle of silent surf.

OK, I think I mixed up Tahnnakai and Sunjiang Missions. I was thinking about the one with 8 Constructs, only 4 of which spawn at random.

Aspenwood, Jade Quarry, Raisu Pavilion and anything beyond that because you have to have a non-hench team and my lag spiking connection is too unreliable to do any intensive teaming reliably at the moment.

Found "Coward!" and Whirling Axe:

Whirling Axe: Geoffer Pain Bringer -- Just outside Zos Shivros Channel in Boreas Seabed. Go outside and go left. He's an Outcast boss, and therefore might require some quest completions before he spawns--I don't know.

Coward: Kayali the Brave -- Just outside Breaker Hollow in Mount Qinkai. Go outside, go left, smash her face.

(Didn't bother to edit out my name, as I still have GW open and don't have extra resources to spare atm. Just henchies and me. Literally RIGHT outside of Zos Shivros Channel (and to the left).

Edit: never mind i got it I would prefer that you explain to the others who have the same problem to find wanderlust instead of just type never mind i got it! its not a very good help!

And for those who still look after it (i am one of these) is someone could answer the primary question: is it in the tannaki temple mission or is it elsewhere?

Thx^^

Thx^^ Wanderlust boss is in the Tahnnakai Temple EXPLORABLE area. Once you get done with that mission, you can enter the explorable area. Look around the outpost after finishing this mission. You will find an entrace to the temple where you can walk through. Work your way through the temple explorable north and you will find a region that you didn't cover during the mission. The boss is in there.

WOOT, I capped it, finnally I have all mesmer elites (btw, are there only 24 while all other core classes have 25 ?) Funny sidenote: the Shrouded Oni kills the boss for you, so you only have to go to there and cap it

I'm still actively looking for heal as one. Sor far, I've cleared Silent Surf, Pongmey Valley, Boreas explorable, Mount Quinkai and Tannhakai Temple explorable: nothing. I'm going to keep looking on the jade sea. The forest needs to be cleared as well, if someone feels like going there...

Haven't found any of the others yet but considering that "whirling axe" and coward where found on Luxon side. And "Psychic Instability" on "neutral ground" (middle). I think we might explore some Kurzicks Area's.

If you leave Jade Flats (Kurzicks) and walk into Melandru's Hope you encounter a new ranger boss just at the entrance when you walk down the way. He has a name that very much indicates "pet" but has not "heal as one"
I allready read (!!!) somewhere else that people think its a mistake and he should have had the skill. Lets hope that's not true.

I allready am a bit dissapointed that they forgot 5 bosses in first place

With the bug-fix update just now they silently replaced the elite of the boss that I mentioned before that assumably had the wrong elite.

Heal as one:
Walk into Meldandru's Hope from Jade Flats, down the road. Salke for Friend is your ranger Boss. Done in 2 minutes

Here is a screen for proof.

Just exit west of Breaker Hollow, go a bit down south and you will meet her and her gang.
