The boss has left the local making it despawn?

Sometimes there are other monsters besides the one your hunting that leave after a set time.

It despawns them when Im fighting them this is really frustrating

That means you took way too much time exploring and were not on an actual hunt.

This is why you fight your target as an investigation. It won't leave, and you get bonus rewards at the end.

Not really, sometimes they leave as early as 10 minutes in. 20m is pretty common.

Its kind of awkward that the best way to fight many monsters early is by doing another monster's investigation, since monsters dont leave during investigations.

Don't they just reset after a few min after leaving the locale?

I was hunting HR Odogaron yesterday in Expedition, farming him for his HR set.
This Beze was in the Expedition as well. I had to wait it out until he left the same area he was in with Odogaron.
Some time later he left the locale and Im on my 3rd Odogaron and guess what? Beze just came back in the locale. I don't know if this randomized or something but it was certainly annoying.
