Intro
Welcome
This is a quick guide to farming boss spawns and also working on pawn badges. This will include basic setup info as well as some misc info about strategy and any achievements related to the boss. Lets get into it! ***I have done all I wanted to in game and have moved onto other games. If anyone has other good farm spots I can update***

How It Works
This guide uses a 6 day rest cycle which has been the most consistent farming method for me (if anyone has anything better let me know). This is a few methods of doing this, what you chose is up to how much time you want to put into this or how quickly you want to farm. There are 3 rest types you can utilize below is the list and a little bit about each one.

First things first is to decide what you want to farm. Map Genie has a great map that is fairly accurate with boss spawn locations Here[mapgenie.io]. This will also show you campsites if you go down that route for your rest cycle. Once you determine what you are after then you need to figure out how you want to farm.

Resting
Inn / Home
If using your home it is one of the cheaper options. Downside is limited Inn and Home location. Typically inside of towns. Can be far away from a Boss location.
Campsite
These can be the best places to do your cycle since there are plenty all over the map. The downside is that you can be raided during a rest which has the chance of destroying your camp. I recommend bringing multiple camping kits with you in case of raids.
Dozing Off
This is my preferred method since you never have the chance for your cycle to be interrupted and is the cheapest method cost and resource wise apart from your home.

Example Farm
Target - Medusa (access to campsite close by)

Campsite method - is simple just kill target and go rest for 6 days. Downside is chance to lose campsite during raid which might slow you down a little.

Portcrystal method - Has more steps to it but is my go to. Set Portcrystal down kill and then port to Vernworth (location of rest and vendors is close by) Buy a Ferrystone from vendor. Find bench outside pawn guild and doze off 12 times to do a 3 day cycle (this resets vendor inventory). Buy other Ferrystone. Doze off 12 more times for your 6 days. Hire 2 pawns with Medusa kill quest. Port back and kill.

That's pretty much it. Times to farm will vary but I found that with this i was able to farm and complete pawn badges in a short amount of time. Below are some bosses I farmed with some info as to what methods I used. If you wanna use my pawn I will have an easy 10k flower quest to help you out with cost. (Pawn ID 0Y93IDDZX6XT) Can add me as well if you want her for free.
Boss Locations
Medusa Farm
Location

I used the Portcrystal method. There is a Grim Ogre up the hill a bit as well from Medusa if you wanna knock both out. I only did Medusa for my farm so idk the spawn well for the Ogre.

There are Achievements related to Medusa
-Decapitate Medusa (I used Thief with Draw and Quarter a few times on her head)
-Petrify Medusa (can use shield found in Vernworth vault)
-Acquire a preserved head.

Griffin Farm
Location

Easy rest on bench by pawns guild. Griffin had 2 locations he would go to. The one further down the hill sometimes had an Ogre there as well.

There is an Achievement with Griffin
-Take Flight On Its Back

Golem Farm

its easier to farm the two golems outside battal in the ruins as they are next to each other and a short run back to town
the magic medals also sell for 1200 each so its one of the better farm spots
There is also a Goreminotaur that has a night spawn in the same location if you want knock that out as well.


Rested in town and walked over. Campsite is close to Golem spawn. There is a chance for Dullahan to spawn past the Y heading towards the golem area. If you rest till Midnight you have a good chance of running into him.

Chimera
Location

Location Added via Sakuya
There is a camp just north of the Bridge by the bandit camp that you can use for the rest cycles. You can also place a Portcrystal outside of the cave as well if you want to use that method.

I will take a look and update also looking to finish off the missing boss type monsters so we have locations for everything.

i also found two garm in the ancestral chamber just east of the sacred arbour AFTER doing the rescue quest there from not-legolas and at night time only (in separate chambers of the cave)

however i found the respawn really inconsistent sometimes it took upto 14 days to respawn but this is the only place i have ever found to actually have re spawning garm inside a cave

Map link fixed. Chimera location added.

there is also a reliable respawning (3-7 days i found) chimera spawn inside the unmarked coastal cave past the small bandit village northwest of the dragonforged cave across the bridge just past the village campsite

Your map link is currently broken. It should not include those parenthesis, nor anything outside of them.

As a suggestion use the respawn mod, it isn't unbalanced but shortens the timer

I will update to include that area as well.
