Rules for completing the Infamous Foes activity
Infamous Foes are a category of strong optional bosses. Most of them can be found while exploring the world map - after getting close enough to the boss, a skull icon will appear on the map.
Some Infamous Foes can only be encountered during quests. They do not spawn during normal exploration. Fortunately, none of these confrontations can be missed.
Search for these bosses once your character has reached high enough level. Defeating a boss whose level is significantly higher than yours can be very difficult, because even a single boss attack can deplete your entire health bar.
Some Infamous Foes are accompanied by common enemies. You can eliminate them first or focus on attacking the boss. The Disillusionment spell helps a lot in eliminating enemies - you can sneak up on them and kill right away or deal a lot of damage to them, forcing those enemies to fight in a weakened state.
Every Infamous Foe you defeat grants XP and increases your combat challenge progress. In addition, you can collect the loot they dropped and search their locations.
Quagmire Troll
Region: Hogwarts Valley
Map link: Quagmire Troll (Hogwarts Valley)
This big troll will be at least at level 31. There are also toads in the area so try to eliminate them first. Once the fight starts, avoid the troll's red charges and use Protego to stop boulders (with the right talent, you can also throw them back at the boss).
Ogbert the Odd
Region: Coastal Caves
Map link: Ogbert the Odd (Coastal Cavern)
He is the leader of a group of goblins who will be at least at level 22. The cave where Ogbert is staying is explored during the first journey from the northern to the southern part of the map. The boss is accompanied by other goblins - try eliminating at least some of them with stealth attacks. Use red spells to destroy Ogbert's red shield.
Rampant Dugbog

It's a big black wolf that will be at least at level 24. He is in a cave and the entrance to it is hidden between the rocks. There are also regular wolves and another Infamous Foe - the White Wolf described below. Try to attack the bosses one by one and remember to dodge their attacks.
