Developer Atlus' Metaphor: ReFantazio features a variety of bosses that challenge players' abilities and strategic making, including the mighty Goborn King.

This particular enemy is fought in The New King of the Imps bounty where you must defeat the boss to complete the mission. This guide shows players how they can start the bounty, how to defeat the Goborn King, and what rewards they can get.

Starting The New King of the Imps Bounty

If you are looking to fight the Goborn King, you need to start The New King of the Imps bounty by first accepting Goborn King, Forest Champion from a Recruitment Center.

This will be available starting 06/29 when you get to Martira and are tasked with capturing a certain foe for their head.

Players can accept this particular bounty from any Recruitment Center but Martira's is arguably the easiest to access. This request tasks you with defeating the Goborn King that is found in the Imp's Den east of Martira, according to IGN.

How To Spawn the Goborn King

When you get to the Imp's Den, you will see many Hexern Goborn Estos marked on your map. You have to first defeat all but two of them so that the Goborn King shows up in the area. After you kill the last needed enemy, the boss will immediately spawn.

This means that you should make the necessary preparations before then to make sure that you are good to go when the boss spawns. The boss and the Hexerts do not have any weaknesses except for more occasionally falling asleep, Game Rant said.

Fighting the Goborn King

When it spawns, the Goborn King boss will party up with four other Goborns to engage you and your team. You should prioritize killing the non-boss enemies in your first few turns so you reduce the number of Press Turn icons the other side gets.

It is advisable to use sleep skills to make the boss fall asleep and maybe one or two other lesser enemies. Try your best to keep the Goborn King asleep as it has the highest damage potential and can heal and buff its allies.

Keep an eye out on your party members' health and heal when needed to make sure everyone stays in fighting condition. Continue this strategy and you'll defeat the Goborn King in no time.

Rewards for Beating the Goborn King

When you finally finish this bounty, you will get 16,000 reeve and four points of Courage after you hand it in.

Players will also get a Stunning Arrow and Scrapmetal Slab as drops for beating the boss and its party. You also find an Imp's Loincloth that can be handed in at the Recruitment Center, according to The Gamer.
