DragonSword Awakening World Boss Rewards After Update 1.0.4

#Quick answer

Update 1.0.4 grouped nine World Bosses into three official reward tiers. Each named boss now grants a stated amount of Mercenary Corps EXP plus one fixed reward item from the patch note.

These are the explicit 1.0.4 values. The announcement does not provide spawn timers, map coordinates, repeat limits or random drop percentages.

#How to use the reward tiers

The table is useful when choosing which unlocked boss matches the resource you currently need:

• choose the 800 EXP tier when the documented target is Adventurer's Emblem;
• choose the 1200 EXP tier when the documented target is Chronograph of Ages;
• choose the 1600 EXP tier when the documented target is Fragment of Memory.

This is a reward lookup, not a claim that the highest tier is always the most efficient. Travel time, boss availability, difficulty, character progression and repeat rules are not specified in the patch note.

#Tier 1: Adventurer's Emblem ×35

The official 1.0.4 list assigns the same reward to:

• Horg the Roamer;
• Andras the Cave Predator;
• Pakirus the Specter of Thirst.

Each grants Mercenary Corps EXP 800 and Adventurer's Emblem ×35. The note does not say that these bosses share a location, attack pattern or unlock requirement.

#Tier 2: Chronograph of Ages ×3

The middle tier contains:

• Scraping Brack;
• Karon the Tyrant;
• Hagen the Dark Necromancer.

Each grants Mercenary Corps EXP 1200 and Chronograph of Ages ×3. Do not convert the fixed quantity into a per-hour farming rate without current spawn and repeat evidence.

#Tier 3: Fragment of Memory ×50

The highest stated EXP tier contains:

• Hungry Eye Octavia;
• Lavanis Feather of Burning Ashes;
• Barpedin the Crushing Darkness.

Each grants Mercenary Corps EXP 1600 and Fragment of Memory ×50. The patch note supports the reward amount, but not a claim that every player can immediately access or reliably defeat these bosses.

#Sudden Mission reward changed too

The same balance section says Sudden Missions now reward Fragment of Sacred Light ×60. That is a separate activity reward and should not be confused with the Fragment of Memory ×50 assigned to the three upper-tier World Bosses.

For the broader patch context, see Update 1.0.4 player-facing changes.

#What to verify in the current build

Before planning a farming session:

1. confirm Steam has installed update 1.0.4 or a later version;
2. verify the boss is unlocked in your current progression;
3. read the live reward panel if the game displays one;
4. check whether you have already exhausted any current repeat or reset condition;
5. avoid treating an old video or pre-patch screenshot as the current reward state.

A later official patch can supersede these values. The table is dated to the 1.0.4 announcement.

#What this guide does not claim

• exact boss locations;
• best heroes or teams for each boss;
• respawn or reset times;
• guaranteed secondary drops;
• drop probabilities;
• an optimal EXP-per-minute route.

Those details require separate current-build evidence. This page remains a clean owner for the official reward matrix.
