A practical secret boss index for Mina the Hollower, focused on known optional boss locations, rewards, unlock conditions, and when to fight them during cleanup.

Mina the Hollower secret boss locations and rewards

Quick Answer

Mina the Hollower has several secret and optional bosses, including Dugin, Midden, Maxi, Mirren, Evra, Armand, Willis, and other hidden encounters. Some have confirmed rewards, such as Dugin rewarding Lace Glove, Midden rewarding Fly Bait, and Maxi rewarding a Trinket Bag. Because several secret boss triggers are tied to quests, NPCs, or specific regions, it is best to save most secret bosses for mid-game or cleanup after you have map support, upgraded weapons, more Trinket slots, and fast travel.

Secret bosses are optional encounters hidden behind NPC events, region triggers, unusual rooms, or cleanup goals. This page uses conservative wording where rewards or triggers are still being catalogued.

Secret Bosses Are Not All the Same

Some secret bosses are early reward checks, some are quest-related encounters, and some are better treated as cleanup goals. Hunt them after you have map support, upgraded weapons, more Trinket slots, and fast travel access.

Secret Boss Checklist

Boss Where / Trigger Known Reward
Dugin After Ack and Dak dialogue; random spawn around Southern Outskirts or Western Hills / Backwaters approach. Lace Glove Trinket
Midden Queensbury Crypt / Ancestral Chamber; behind a 2 Plasma Vial gate and triggered by insulting him. Fly Bait Trinket
Maxi Secret boss encounter. Trinket Bag

Cleanup Advice

Dugin, Midden, Maxi, Mirren, Evra, Armand, and Willis should be tracked with map support instead of forced early. The Renegades chain includes Armand, Maxi, Willis, Dugin, and Evra. Use a reliable upgraded weapon, safety Trinkets, and a ranged Sidearm. Avoid opening Vial gates with too little healing, trusting exact unverified reward claims, or using one boss build for every hidden encounter.
