Peerless

Peerless Bosses, or just Peerlesses, are "boss" monsters that spawn in certain dungeons that were introduced with the Mondain's Legacy expansion.

Their rooms can be accessed only by acquiring certain keys.

For most, the pattern is that keys are obtained from certain monsters within the dungeons. The keys are dungeon-appropriate objects with timers (they expire after a certain period of time).

These keys are then exchanged at a certain place in the dungeon for a "main key." This key is then used to access the Peerless room.

Up to 30 characters, 3 parties' worth, can enter a Peerless room at once.

Peerless

• Dread Horn in Twisted Weald
• Travesty in The Citadel
• Chief Paroxysmus in the Palace of Paroxysmus
• Lady Melisande in Blighted Grove
• Monstrous Interred Grizzlein Bedlam
• Shimmering Effusionin the Prism of Light

From the Peerlesses are obtained certain unique artifacts and ingredients with which certain other artifacts can be crafted.

• With the introduction of the Mondain's Legacy expansion came the 6 Peerless bosses, located in most of the UO:ML dungeons.

• Each boss has a location of it's own and some of these areas have a requirement just to enter them.

• Entering most Peerless areas requires the collection of certain "keys."

• In only one case (Travesty) is the "key" literally a key. Most of the time it is some other item(s). Keys can be readily identified because they are blessed, and have a countdown timer on them (to prevent stockpiling).

• In most cases, the keys need to be turned in at a certain place, and exchanged for a second set of keys commonly known as "crossing keys" or "main keys". Using a key from the second set teleports your party into the "boss room."

• Normally you get 3 main keys/crossing keys. Each one can teleport 1 party.

• Once the keys are used or expire, no one else may enter the boss room, and the rooms can only be entered with the proper keys.

• Thus, a maximum of 30 people (3 parties) can enter a Peerless area or "boss room" at one time.

• Once inside the boss room, you are under a time limit of about 2 hours. Once the time is up, your group is ejected from the room.

• Once the boss is killed, another time limit, of about 10 minutes, goes into effect. You have about 10 minutes to loot or you are ejected.

• All of the Peerless monsters listed below work in this way, except for Markatus the Minotaur. Markatus is summoned by killing monsters in his dungeon, in Champion Spawn type fashion.
