Skeleton Key Boss
King Borr
The Spring Test Realm 2021 is finally out! It’s time to dive into some of the juiciest parts of the updates- the Skeleton Key bosses! The first of these is King Borr, found in the Savarstaad Pass in Grizzleheim.
King Borr’s Location
King Borr can be found at the spot where I am currently standing in this picture. His sigil is very close to the Teleporter Hub, as well as the passage to Northguard.
Borr is similar to Krampus, in a way. Just like in the Krampusgarten, you have the option to choose the difficulty of the duel. Regardless of the difficulty, you will still be facing this King, and his faithful minion Grendelynn.
- Tier 4 – Levels 110+ – King Borr is Rank 19 and has 10,870 health. The minion is Rank 18 and has 5,375 health.
- Tier 3 – Levels 51-109 – King Borr is Rank 12 and has 5,570 health. The minion is Rank 11 and has 2,530 health.
- Tier 2 – Levels 31-50 – King Borr is Rank 8 and has 1,915 health. The minion is Rank 7 and has 870 health.
- Tier 1 – Levels 1-30 – King Borr is Rank 7 and has 1,150 health. The minion is Rank 6 and has 520 health.
King Borr at Tier 1 (levels 1-30) does not have any cheats.
