Multiple Locations per Boss

[OldHardworkingDad]

Just curious. Are there multiple locations per boss? If so have you ever had a location double marked? I've found multiple areas that look like boss locations, but they haven't been marked on my map.

Im curious about this as well. Found 3 first boss areas not marked, but wonder if its a thing of marking one closest to you or that you have more chances to fight the same boss? I too wonder the purpose, but Im not thrown off by it. Im hoping its something we can use in some way, shape or form.

We have a boss alter that is pretty far. That's why we were curious. I'm a little hesitant to travel that far as I know you can run into a lot of trouble the further out from the center you go, and farther away from your infrastructure you go. I was hoping to maybe find a closer alter if you can spawn them at any alter, but wondering if anyone has actually ever had a boss alter double marked on their map.

Yes you can get more boss altars marked and you can find more that is unmarked aswell. In my world I have 2 Eikthyr alters but only one is marked and 2 Elder alters that is marked on diffrent sides of the map.

1) yes, each boss has more than 1 spawn location
2) vegvisirs mark only spawn closest to them, if you move far away and find boss vegvisir then it has chance to mark new spawn (if it's too close to old one then it will just tell you that you have already marked old one)
3) you can fight bosses as many times as you want, you don't have to move to new spawn location to do this, you can fight multiple times at the first spawn location

We're about to go for it. We got a boss altar about 2/3rds of the way towards the edge of the world. I got extra gear for if we run into a sea serpent nest, or crash into a continent filled with plains. That skill drop on death still makes me want to count my Ps and Qs before going through so much fog of war. Personally, I really like that you have something to lose if you die, but I definitely feel like you got to plan things more carefully than in other games and consider options.

If I can go to a closer altar I will.

Well, usually. Sometimes they don't even have a single one.

There's multiple boss spawns, for each boss - 3-5.

you can just explore the closest islands to your spawn, see if one of them has a marker for a specific boss, should be a bit better than traveling deep ocean and dying.

Okay, so if I'm not getting a new mark by checking vegvisirs in the opposite direction of my current boss altar mark than that's just the closest boss altar after all. Makes sense.
