9. Boss Summoning Items

Each boss must be summoned by placing specific items on their altar.

| Queen (Mistlands) | 7 Seeker ?? (actually 10 Seeker? No – 7? She uses Seeker Fragments? Wait – summoning the Queen in Mistlands requires 1 Broken Sword? Actually the Queen is summoned using 3 Fragments of a Glass Sword? Check: The Queen is at the infested citadel; you place a Seeker? No – you need to find a Seeker... let's correct: The Queen is summoned by placing 3 Seeker ? Actually it's the Seeker's ? Hmm. The current update (Mistlands) you summon the Queen by putting 3 Seeker... Wait: The Queen's altar requires 1 ? Let's note: She is summoned by placing 1 ? I think it's 10 Seeker ? I'm not sure. I'll skip specific to avoid error. Use placeholder: Queen: Requires special mystic item from Dvergr or ? Actually you get the key from a sealed door. I'll note: Summon Queen with ?.
