⚠️TL;DR: Challenge Bosses are very different from regular AQW.⚠️
They have specific mechanics that will punish you if you try fighting them without strategy / tactics.
Challenge Bosses (also known as Ultras / Ultra Bosses) are bosses that have specific skillsets or mechanics built into them.
Dungeons are a set of maps that you cannot use /goto in, and feature many enemies with skillsets or mechanics.
For the sake of simplicity, we will also consider all Dungeons to be one long Challenge Boss.
These bosses usually have a Daily or Weekly Quest tied to them that reward special loot, tons of Experience, and tons of Gold.
In order to defeat them, you will need a team or a very specialized set of Classes, Enhancements, or Equipment that gives Boosted Damage.
You can find these in our Progress Checks page, but for each Boss's Page we will also give suggestions.
It depends on the definition of "Easy" that you use.
Easy and Difficult is different from Simple and Complex.
Easy is something that you can do without much effort.
Difficult is something that takes a lot of effort
Simple is something that you can explain easily.
Complex is something that requires more effort to explain.
For example, farming 7500 Void Auras as a Non-Member Non-Daily requires you to turn in Retrieve Void Auras.
The quest requires you to kill 10 enemies 20 times each, and turn in for a paltry average of 6 Void Auras per turn in.
Is it Simple? Very much so✅. You could quickly describe this to someone who doesn't even play the game.
Is it Easy to do? Very much not so❌. It is so Difficult that people have quit the game entirely over this farm.
Ultra Bosses are usually much more Complex than the rest of AQW.
Still, they are part of AQW, so their Complexity has a limit.
This means if you follow the guides and/or are very well prepared, it will be Easy for you to do.
If you do not follow the guides and are not well prepared, it will likely be Difficult for you to do.
So to answer the question, the choice lies with you, dear player.🧙
Will you choose to learn, and see yourself finding the Bosses to be Easy, and perhaps even Fun?
Or will you choose not to learn, and come to view the Bosses as being so Difficult that you could never hope to surmount them?
