Where do the bosses go after liberation?

just picking up after a hiatus of six months and now in the midst of liberating Varant.

in my case, when i liberated Bakaresh, Tizgar was nowehere to be found. the same happened at Mora Sul (Gonzalez ran away without saying goodbye). but Zuben was still seated at his throne after Ishtar's liberation. that i get since he's a key player. so i'm just curious about where the bosses run to after liberation of the cities?

They, like everyone else on the losing side, run a short distance from the city and then simply vanishes, unless the player can actually see them. If the player can see the ones running away, they end up just running back and forth, back and forth, untill you either leave or kill them.

Everyone that runs away will give experience (but not loot) when they vanish, hence the "rolling experience" you get almost instantly after the city is liberated.

You can also try the goto command to find them again.

i could try the 'goto' command but i'm afraid i might get stuck in the nether regions.

You can always do another 'goto' command to get back
