Albion Online is a classless sandbox MMO where your gear defines your role and most of the map allows full loot PvP. Sandbox Interactive runs a single global server, so its player economy and territory wars carry real stakes.
Boss fights are where Albion Online tests everything you've learned. This guide covers strategies for bosses across all areas, organized by progression order. For general combat techniques, see our combat guide.
