Odin's FATE and other Boss FATE

[Rowde]

isn't just a visible fate as long as you are in the zone? I've just been randomly teleporting to the zone and looking at the map.

No

Odin, Coeurlregina, Nocticulale(spelling?), and Ixion do not show up on the zone map. They do show up on the mini-map once you are close by though. They all also have special weather conditions that occur while they are up though, which serves as the first indicator that they can currently be found on the map. This doesn't let you know how much time is left on their FATEs until you find them though. The FATEs also have multiple spawn locations, so a bit of searching is sometimes required. Odin is the most frustrating because his special weather condition appears across all the Shroud zones, but his FATE will only be up in one... so it can take a bit to find him if not enough ppl are looking, shaving off precious time from the clock.

Behemoth does not have a weather indicator, but I believe the Behemoth FATE can be seen on the zone map though.

Can't remember about Tama-no-Gozen (spelling?) either. I know this FATE also has multiple spawn locations, but I can't remember if it has weather effect or if it can be seen on zone map.



Also, the user you quoted was referring to how the bosses will pop in and out of existence when there are too many PCs present. I'm not sure if the draw priority for them was ever fixed. Unfortunately the only workaround is to get closer to the boss, as draw priority seems to be tied to current proximity.

From what I remember(haven't done her in a while) there is no special weather, just a window for her to be open to spawning. She doesn't appear on the zone map either, since I remember flying all around that zone for the ~hour when her window was open for a potential spawn.
