[[Field Bosses]], also known as '''Guardians''', are powerful open-world encounters in [[Chrono Odyssey]] that require coordinated efforts from multiple players to defeat. These mighty entities have long coexisted with [[Setera]], dwelling throughout the land as either protectors or threats to mankind. Field Boss content features large-scale battles in the shared world outside of instanced [[dungeons]].

==Overview==

Field Bosses represent one of the core [[PvE]] content types in Chrono Odyssey, designed to provide epic, immersive encounters in the [[open world]]. Unlike traditional instance-based bosses found in many [[MMORPGs]], Field Bosses in Chrono Odyssey exist naturally within the seamless world, allowing players to encounter these epic challenges as an organic part of their journey.
