For obvious reasons, most of the content in the game requires a World Designer or Quest Designer to get involved.

But if somebody just leaves an empty tomb sitting around, and a certain somebody else is in charge of enemies and loot, then that certain somebody might be inclined to stick a boss and some custom loot there.

i think i know the one your talking about is it the Azteca blood lord in the gold mine in the cave tomb? heres a link http://www.pirate101central.com/wiki/Creature:Aztecosaur_Blood_Lord_(Cave_Tomb)

Link goes to an empty page. Well a page with no Wiki text. Do you have another?

Actually NO female bosses, except the Salt Witch ( La Llona ) in Haunted Skyway. Ok, Madea and the Gracea in Aquila count too, but are they Bosses who drop unique gear? Why no female bosses? Do we have to wait until we confront the Lady Elite for one?

I think you misunderstood. Finnigan mentioned there aren't any female secret bosses. There are at least some normal female bosses right now, so, don't worry about that.

I think you don't have to go through a fake door, or I don't even remember there ever being a fake door that leads to Lord Mixcotal, because I think there are one of these Aztecosaur Totems that opens Lord Mixcotal's door, and if one of those particular Totems can be found and activated, his door can be opened and he will be waiting for you.

At least... that's what I sort of remember. I didn't pay any attention to it while I was venturing through the Mysterious Tunnels for the first time. Anyone else ring a bell to this?

This led me to thinking... if Lord Mixcotal does indeed drop his own custom loot, believing that he may be that secret boss, then maybe he should have his own Second Chance Chest that should appear after we defeat him. Anyone would agree to this thought?

Also, I think he doesn't have any dialogue lines for before we fight him and after we defeat him.

I think Lord Mixcotal should have a Badge that comes with a unique reward after we defeat him, because if he is that forementioned secret boss, then he should have a badge by defeating him, and I think it would be called "Mixcotal Masher".

Those are my thoughts of how Lord Mixcotal should be rewarding after battle. Anyone likes these ideas? Hope the P101 team thinks of this.

You can either just walk through the wall, with the "lit up" Aztecosaur door panel or use a totem to access Lord Mixcoatl- but you don't have to use the totem, at least if you are just farming him. I recently farmed him and you can just pass through the wall to get to him. I don't know if you can just walk through the wall if you have not yet completed the quest An Archaic Curiosity and subsequent quest, The Idol of Toloc that requires you to enter the Temple of Toloc- or if they aren't yet completed you have to use the totem to gain access to Lord Mixcoatl.

But in my farming attempts it just takes walking into and through the wall without having to use a Totem first, in order to reach him. You do still have to invoke the 1st Quest Directive Totem in the initial level of The Temple, during the The Idol of Toloc quest- in order to be able to gain access to the second level of the Temple of Toloc, but once in there you can pass right through the wall, without having to use one of the smaller non-quest Totems that also opens the passage in the wall where he is located. At least this has been my experience in regards to this.

I guess we would have to see if he is indeed the aforementioned Secret Boss before considering if he warrants his own SCC. In my opinion I would say that he doesn't only because Lord Mixcoatl is an optional boss that isn't part of the Storyline and it isn't necessary to interact with him at all in the scope of the game, seeing as he isn't directly related to any quests- main or side. Not to say that I wouldn't be for him having one....that is if he turns out to be the "one we are looking for" in the first place. I guess time will tell.

But I do agree that whomever ends up being this "Secret Boss" (or any others that may end up being revealed in the future) should also unveil a new badge for your character to proudly display.

People are saying it's Lord Mixcoatl of Temple of Toloc in Mysterious Tunnel of Scurvy Dog Island. He IS in a room that was hidden by a fake door that you walk through. The room IS not located on the map. But he's not confirmed. Nobody has gotten a custom weapon from him yet.

However, he's a dinosaur, so what weapon could he possibly drop?

PS: I agree with Chrissy. Hidden bosses is a nice bonus, yes. However, I really want to get back to the main story. I'm chomping at the bit to visit new worlds and see where the story goes. There has already been a delay because of the new pet area. So honestly I would rather the designers to focus on new worlds and expanding the main story line.

Thank you for the affirmation.
I don't think the game improvements delayed the content expansion. They are doing it this way on purpose. They have stated that alternating updates with content and improvement is a planned method of keeping the game tweaked and at it's best as it grows.

I'm not too sure anymore if Lord Mixcoatl is the secret boss. His lair suits the needs of a secret boss, being behind a hidden door, in a room that doesn't show up on the map. But, after farming him for awhile, I've noticed that he doesn't drop a unique boss chest.

Every boss we fight, whether a main quest line boss, or a side boss drops a chest that appears different from his minions at the end of the fight. I'm not talking about the second chance chest, but the actual chests dropped by the mobs. I've noticed the boss chest is usually more intricately decorated than the other chests, and stands out from the other chests.

But, Loard Mixcoatl does not have one of these different boss chests, the chest he drops appears the exact same as the chests dropped by his minions. Now, I will continue to farm him just in case, but I think we should also continue checking other tombs and tomb like areas for other secret bosses.

I agree Scarlet. There have been a loooot of people farming him ever since Ratbeard hinted at a secret boss in the game. Surely I would think that we would have discovered something unique, ultra rare or the 'custom' weapon that he eluded to. With that many pirates farming him, something should have revealed itself by now, if Lord Mixcoatl happens to be that 'secret boss'.

And you're right, the area he can be found fits perfectly with what you would think a secret boss's lair would look like. I think that is why so many people were so certain that he just had to be the secret boss- it seemed to make perfect sense. I vaguely recall at least one other enemy that I stumbled upon that was in a room or tomb that didn't show up on a map, but I can't remember where or whom this enemy was- for some reason I am thinking it was in MooShu. But clearly that doesn't help at all.

I guess we will just have to systematically go through all locations of all worlds, unless someone gets another pretty logical hunch based on the scenario seeming to fall in line with what we would expect from a location containing a 'secret boss'. Hopefully someone will stumble upon this boss or at least a location that seems to raise some suspicions and fit the bill of housing a secret boss.

But I sure do enjoy a good mystery and engaging in some fun, explorative detective work. As I would imagine that this would appeal to the scientist in you, Scarlet, with facts and data gathering and using the process of elimination and deduction to narrow down this elusive Secret Boss.

Well off to MooShu to try to shock my memory!

Holy, HOLY COW, I just realized who it is! The boss is Moo Manchu! Here's all the reasons:

1. Ratbeard said that the boss has a custom weapon drop, and Manchu has a wand plus a hat, outfit, and boots.

2. Everyone is saying that the boss is located in a tomb, Manchu is in a tomb.

3. Pirate101 never says how to get the Savior of Mooshu badge, which is pretty secretive and suspicious.

4. There might be a quest that wants you to defeat him, but you have to do a few other quests to get the Moo Manchu quest.

5. If you read these facts correctly, they all add up to Moo Manchu being the secret boss!

Please Yar! me if you agree, or reply to correct me or disagree.

Hi Griffin, welcome to the message boards. I am not sure if I think along the same lines. If it is a secret boss then I doubt it would be in the main quest line or even a side quest. I think this boss is in a tomb that we can access but there are no indicators that it is even there. We will find it by just stumbling into it. It sure makes me look suspiciously at any tomb I see now.

My problem with Moo Manchu being the secret boss it that Ratbeard said he has never seen a player wearing the secret weapon. And every other maxed witchdoctor I see is wearing Moo's wand...

I am making a plea here, but Ratbeard, please give us a Blind Mew-like hint or even a riddle to help us out.

Moo Manchu is most definitely not a secret boss, as there's a whole entire questline dedicated to him and he also has dialouge as well, not to mention that a couple of companion promotions require us to go and talk to him in order for them to get promoted to their next tier (Mormo is one example of these kinds of companions just fyi). Also, the Nefarious Tower that's currently on the test realm basically continues where the whole Moo Manchu storyline left off at, and most likely we'll be seeing him again afterwards as well.

Tl;dr: Moo Manchu is more of a recurring side quest villain than a secret boss, since not only does he confirm that General Tso was working for him, but he's also required for multiple companion promotions as well, such as Mormo's for example, so there's that at least.
