Lindwurm - moves around and shoots at you, puts up a shield and summons a variety of adds. Defeat for regular ending.

True Island Master - Very fast, hits you with a multitude of spells and makes illusions of himself that can do the same. Defeat for ultimate ending.

There is also a nasty one with multiple snakes on it's body, probably a medusa, poisons etc.
There are also magna golems, fire elementals, air elementals, flying squids and same fire-dudes as in LoG1.

Boss list should also have a dragon and the island master in it

Ive only seen so far, this list will be updated. Thanks.

Rat Swarm - you can melee attack these as long as they're in the square in front of you.

Walking Boulders are immune to Water and Earth spells.

Ogres will immediately make a slashing attack if they end their charge standing next to you.

A few more monsters:

Fire Wraith (LOG1): Floats around and throws fireballs. Heals from fire-based attacks. (Probably vulnerable to Water spells.)

Pink octopus: A flying octopus with one glowing red eye that loves to shoot Dark Bolt at you which does minor damage but blurs your vision. (It can also shoot it from its behind!)

Beneath are some of the tougher monsters:
Here be boss monsters:
And finally...

Bombs also work well on rat swarms

Is there any particular strategy for this boss? My level 14 champions keep on dying at the "fire" stage and he's still around 50% of health.

his shield fades after you kill MOST of the minions he summons.

tip: leave a couple of minions. his shield will fade, then ignore the minions and attack. keep dodging to flank him, and make your attacks count. use rage potions and speed potions if you have them.

if the minions are giving you problems early, move to a corner railing so you don't get surrounded by them. meteor storm is great for the early waves.

if you get to the fire wave? yeah, you're not doing damage to the boss fast enough. you shouldn't even let it get that far. you should be able to kill him before the second wave is done. I disagree with the "attack from distance" advice. your melee guys have the strongest attacks late game. get up in his grill and pound that sucker. he's big and slow, so you can dodge around him to flank attack.

...oh, one more thing...

that isn't the final boss.

this boss is the easy one.

muhahahaha.

lightning bombs work great on golems and fire elementals as well, often times taking them out in a single hit.

very useful when you pick up "Bane" in the cemetary.

Possible big spoiler Thanks,

Moogoo

NEVERMIND - I found it.

Can't kill him even with lots of potions, cannon, melee attacks or anything else. I did try more than ten times and won't try again. It's only brutal force -- and it's no fun at all. In LOG 1 you always had a way to retreat, same in the original Dungeon Master. Here you're basically in an arena without anything to help you and he's calling endless waves of new minions. He has no weaknesses or trick you can use. That's definitely not fun.
