We have already information about how many days are necessary to spawn a nemesis boss, we also have some information about the range they can be lured, but I didn't found a list of "Despawn Time". Such list would be useful because today one of my friends found the Big Bad One and he disappeared in 6 minutes, making us lose it. Knowing their time before disappearing would make us know how much time we need to check more often.

It is difficult to have a reliable list, as to do so it would be necessary to camp the locations where the bosses spawn, wait for them to spawn on the screen to know the exact time they spawned, and hope that no one appears and kills them before they despawn. It's a lot of work for no reward, you know?

Most bosses usually despawn after 1 hour. PoI bosses, vampire lord bosses and bosses with reward container usually stay for a few hours (4h~, probably).

Varying spawn bosses probably don't despawn, or at least take longer than 1 hour. I know this, because I've seen a Mahatheb last more than 1 hour and a Burster too.

As for the Bank Robbery bosses, I have no idea. I even asked a question about this here.

My advice is: check whenever possible. If you have the time to check at least every 30-40 minutes, do so.

Yeah I agree.. however people may already have some experience on that matter.. we together could make such a list by having those unfortunate moments where we lose the boss.. saying that:

From our experience we already know that The Big Bad One despawn after 1h because my friend always checks every 1 hour. Maybe all bosses who spawn again in the time frame of 5-8 days has the same time, and then maybe bosses who spawn in 15 days has 2 hours or more? It would be a very good tutorial for people beginning on Boss hunting since it is very difficult.. now we will check the Big Bad One each 30 minutes.. but without that information we could still be looking every 1h and lose it again.. now atleast we have a proper plan to not lose it anymore.

As for the Zao bosses, I'm not sure if they really disappear after 30 min. The problem there is that the bosses don't always spawn with the other creatures that accompany them. I've already reported this, but they said that's how it is. The boss may or may not spawn.
