The beta boss randomization is a rework of the previous boss randomization feature. Where the legacy boss randomization only swapped single-target bosses with other single-target bosses and did the same for double-target bosses (leaving bosses with 3 or more targets as they were), the newer version does a much better job of mixing them up. Single- and double-target bosses can not only mingle with each other, but with few exceptions, bosses with 3 or more targets are now part of the shuffled pool as well.

As this version of boss randomization has been vastly preferred by the player base, it has become standard to use in events. However, it is still technically in beta and information is subject to change.

The following bosses will never be shuffled from their space, even with Boss Randomization enabled:

• Dragon Tank
• Masa/Mune (twins form)
• R-Series
• Magus
• Azala & Rust Tyrano
• Final Bosses (Lavos, Queen Zeal, Mammon Machine; all forms)

The following bosses are eligible to be shuffled when Boss Randomization is turned on (bosses that do not appear in standard mode are marked with an asterisk):

• Yakra
• Guardian & Bits
• Heckran
• Zombor
• Masa & Mune (combined form)
• Nizbel
• Slash
• Flea
• Nizbel II
• Retinite
• Golem
• Giga Gaia
• GolemBoss*
• Dalton Plus*
• Yakra XIII
• Flea Plus*
• Super Slash*
• Son of Sun
• Atropos XR*
• Mother Brain
• Lavos Spawn (one only)
• Mega Mutant*
• Giga Mutant
• Terra Mutant
• Elder Lavos Spawn

In 3.2 Boss Randomization, the twin boss in the Ocean Palace is not treated as a separate “single” slot with two targets as it was before - it can now be a repeated “twin” of a boss that players have already seen in the seed. The major things to note are that having already seen a boss does not exclude it from appearing in the Ocean Palace and Dalton Plus is now eligible for the Twin Boss slot (previously he was banned from it for being too difficult - balance changes have also been made to accommodate this).

Boss Randomization is toggled on the main page of the web generator. The Boss Rando tab up above contains extra options for customization.

When Legacy Boss Placement is enabled, bosses will be shuffled according to 3.1.1 rules: only one-part bosses will be swapped with other one-part bosses, two-part bosses will likewise shuffled, and bosses with three or more parts like Retinite and Son of Sun will remain in their vanilla locations. See the legacy boss randomization page for a full list.

By default, the beta boss randomization uses a formula to scale boss HP depending on the location where it's slotted. There is a spreadsheet of this info from the guides page.

However, enabling the Boss Spot HP option gives us a formula for Boss HP based on the space they appear (ie the back of the Cathedral or Heckran's Cave).
