Notes

In various Root Dungeons you can rarely come across to Roaming Bosses who will act as strong enemies on your way to the layer bosses
Roaming Bosses don't respawn once killed

First Documented Roaming Boss in Isz Gravestone, glyph 4m32a9r3 [Reddit, Video]

Another great discovery made by The Tomb Prospectors. An explanation as to why no wandering boss has been documented in an Isz Chalice Dungeon before by MorosNyx:

6 months ago, a prominent Hunter by the name of u/Kazin79 discovered a glitch affecting the generation of Isz Root Chalices. After generating hundreds and hundreds of Root dungeons, he realised that he was only able to get an extremely small amount of unique layouts compared to Pthumeru and Loran. After Zullie's discovery that Isz has 200 possible layouts, a more in-depth research began, only to reveal that most players are only able to generate the same set of 32 Isz Dungeons out of the entire 200 pool.

Further testing indicated that the player gets sucked into the 32 glitch after exploring a certain amount of Root Dungeons. Our current theory is that the glitch happens once the player gathers a certain amount of loot from Isz Dungeons, which seems to be largely true, but we still need to test what kind of loot it is exactly. As far as we know, once a player is stuck, there's no way out of the 32 loop and the only way to generate new Isz Dungeons is to make a brand new character.

Realising this, we started several new characters dedicated to creating new Isz glyphs, and managed to circumvent the glitch by save scumming every time before creating a new set of glyphs, essentially tricking the game into thinking that the character had never stepped foot in an Isz Root Chalice before. Using a screenshot database system of layout trademarks of each dungeon developed by u/Kazin79, we were able to map 198/200 unique Isz Root glyphs (with the help of many dedicated prospectors, most notably u/DrAnger90), making several interesting discoveries. But still, no wandering boss had been found.

Several months later, u/DrAnger managed to confirm that the same 32 glitch also affected Sinister Isz, revealing to us that the majority of Sinister Isz Dungeons had yet to be explored. This gave us hope, and with reignited passion we once again began the tedious mapping process, this time, for Sinister Isz. And today, alas, finally, our long and tedious journey has finally has come to fulfilment!
