# BOSS Drops

A BOSS in Ancient Realms is a special monster that requires a gold fee to fight. In return, if you defeat it you will have a chance to mint a powerful NFT that will boost your gear score. These can be accessories, weapons, or armor. BOSSes deal significant armor and health damage based off their attack power.\ <br>
