According to alcast there's 4 mini bosses which I've never even seen. Why don't people do the mini bosses? Even for an admitted gear run (not pledge) people just skip to the 3. Do the mini bosses NOT drop any good gear?

    Oh, you should definitely do the whole dungeon sometime for fun if nothing else! :) Groups wanting to do the dungeon quick for random or pledge usually skip not only those, but any mobs that can be as well, as you’ve probably experienced. I don’t believe the first three secret bosses drop anything special, although there will be a chest in one of their areas, but they give a buff that can be useful if doing the hard modes. The first three secret bosses are easy but the fourth, I don’t think I’ve defeated yet, and you are limited to five or six attempts.

    Yes, done it a few times. Still haven't got the momento that allows you to see the secret ice chests though

    the side bosses do not drop weapons, even the 4th secret boss, so anyone who is farming weapons just skips those normally

    its great though if you havent run the dungeon much and missing a lot of the gear though

    You don't really get anything for beating the final secret boss hard mode except 1 extra chest. Not even an achievement.

    I'm pretty sure this one drops only in vet HM last chest by chance, we had around 5 runs to get at least one to drop.

    About OP, strangely enough on pceu almost every group I've joined through RDF is going for mini bosses, at least on veteran. It's fun though, can ask a team to run for it and I doubt many would decline as it's pretty fast and more drops are always a nice bonus.
