This post refers to 6 bane-category bosses: Chopper, Shadowstalker, Mindmasher, Rotspit, Maw, and Fleshslicer.
The Quirefang hive features a stage system that changes the structure and access possibilities within the segments of the Hive through world change (For more information, see the post Guide NPCs in the subtitle Hive). In the first stage, the main structure of the hive is closed. In the second stage, only the eastern side is open, and finally, in the third stage, the western side also opens.
The western sector of the Hive, in addition to providing access to several floors above the ground level, also allows access to the Hive's underground. In the underground (here) there is an excellent spot to complete the bestiary of Hive Overseers and most of the other creatures in the hive, but it doesn’t stop there! There are 6 bosses that regularly appear in this location:

Maw

Fleshslicer

For a long time, it was believed that there was no pattern in the spawn of these bosses, but after a series of tests, we can finally present the results:
There is a possibility of finding 1, 2, or none of these bosses during a check. Never has more than 2 been found, so it is believed to be the limit.
The spawn of these bosses seems to be based on the server boot (see this post for more information). Let’s give a practical example: suppose the server boot occurred at 05:03:47 (five hours, three minutes, and forty-seven seconds). Once the server is back online bosses may be waiting, and after 15 minutes from the boot, there will be a new opportunity to find them. Thus, following this hypothetical timing, the moments when these bosses can spawn are:
XX:03:47 (base server boot time).
XX:18:47 (add 15 minutes to the base server boot time).
XX:33:47 (add 15 minutes to the previous time).
XX:48:47 (add 15 minutes to the previous time).
In summary, according to our tests, there is a chance every 15 minutes, starting from the base server boot time. The bosses can spawn even with players on the screen! So don't be afraid to be at the spots at the indicated times.

Gather your team, divide the check times, and optimize this bestiary as much as possible. Remember, to access the location, you need to regularly complete tasks (50 points per week and request the reward from the NPC Orockle, see the spoiler from our partner for more details).
