About

DefeatBoss marks a boss encounter as completed for a specific player without requiring them to enter the arena or defeat the creature. Use this to unlock boss rewards, unlock boss-gated engrams, or test post-boss content without running the fight.

You need the player's UE4 ID, the boss identifier (such as Dragon or King Titan), and a difficulty number. Bosses with spaces in their names, like King Titan, must be wrapped in quotation marks. Difficulty 0 is Gamma, 1 is Beta, and 2 is Alpha; the command grants completion at whichever tier you specify.

This is a cheat command and requires admin status to execute on the server.
