Join me, Swyiss, and DVGMedia as we pit nearly 60 items together in a double elimination styled bracket to see which is the best boss loot item in the game! 

This event will be streamed on Sunday September 20th around 5 to 7 PM EST time on DVGMedia's YouTube channel. If you're interested, please check out it out!

 For this kind bracket, I needed to answer two questions:

1.) What constitutes as a boss?

2.) What constitutes as a boss item?

In my eyes, bosses are mobs that either appear in the giants tab in DST's scrapbook or play a variant of the epic fight song, E.F.S for short, while in combat, which differs from the normal combat music throughout the games. So while most don't consider Spider Queen or Lord of the Fruit Flies to be bosses, both appear as giants in the scrapbook and both play a variant of the E.F.S, so they count.

Boss items are either unique drops that come from a specific boss, either as a piece of equipment, such as the Bee Queen Crown or Shield of Terror, as an ingredient for a certain dish, such as Jellybeans or Snake Bone Soup, a consumable item, such as the Bootleg Getaway, or are crafted using materials which come from that specific boss, such as the Deerclops Eyeball being used to make the Eyebrella or the Thick Fur being used to make the Hibearnation Vest. 

The bosses whose drops don't fit the criteria are the Treeguard, Queen Womant, the Shadow Pieces, Klaus, the Forest Stalker, the Cave Stalker, and the Great Depths Worm. Aside from those 7, I'll be listing all boss items from both solo DS and DST, as I thought it'd make for a more interesting conversation and I didn't want to leave single-player out.
