Maximum Bosses net to crash the instance:
2 Player : 5 - 7 Bosses 3 Player : 3 Bosses MAX 4 Player : 1 - 2 Bosses MAX
At 20 Bosses your instance will crash and you' ll get the " character not saved issue ". Bypassable by waiting 5 min inside the crashed instance.
To clarify this once and for all: None of the contentcreators you' ve watched discovered the roots initially. That was me, first week of release. Credit where credit's due.
If you want accurate information, watch my previous video and read the guide I wrote for Mekuna on his website.

Lair Bosses:
Out of the Cold Dog of Astaroth
How it works:
Nightmare Dungeon with any shrine implicit. Clear the dungeon, scout the shrines. Remember the locations.
First shrine: Plant 5 - 6 Roots arrount the shrine. Click the shrine, then click the roots. You need to kill during a shrine effect. Everything, incliding bosses, you kill will respawn after the shrine effect runs out. Now run to the 2nd shrine. Shortly after it ran out, mobs start spawning. Immediatelly click the next shrine to not kill stuff without the active 2nd shrine. Then do that again for the 3rd and possibl 4th shrine. ( 4 shrines is rare, 3 shrines is guaranteed )
Every boss has a chance to get duplicated, each time it is defeated. So the duplicate bosses have that chance aswell.
Math:
Chance for boss spawn per root: 1 / 5 Chance for Boss duplication: 50%
Possible outcome: Over 300 Bosses in a single dungeon.
Have fun.
