Blackwood Oblivion Portal minibosses - how do they work?

Like, in Blackwood, you have to pass through three islands before you get to the centre.

- (1) the starter island is one of three, and contains no miniboss
- (2) then there is another island which contains a miniboss
- (3) then there is a third island which contains a miniboss, guarding the door to the central area
- (4) then there is, finally, the central area, with its hidden miniboss and the actual boss.

So...

What determines which minibosses can appear on (2) and (3)? I'm trying to complete the achievement for killing all the bosses in the oblivion portals but there is one which just doesn't want to show, and is there a way to make it appear, or go to where it is?

Are the minibosses tied to specific locations?

Is it possible to kill one, wait for a respawn, and have a different miniboss respawn there instead?

    On (2) it's RNG, though I think that is influenced by the island you begin on (1). On (3) there's no RNG, the big Titan will be always there (at least it has been so far to me)
    I am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
    I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).
    My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian, I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian.

    The second one is the only one that changes (the "generals" you have to defeat for the achievement.) The third one is always a titan.

    For the achievement bosses, yes.

    Thanks. that's the kind of answer I was looking for.

    So, the first miniboss (on the second island) is randomized between the other five, and the second one (on the third island) is Salosuum the giant ash titan who can summon smaller ash titans.

    I took your advice and camped the first miniboss to fill out the achievement. It worked :-)
