It was designed such that when defeated, it flees back to the world map. When development was changed to the bosses dying and dropping hearts, etc instead of escaping, they were set to respawn immediately on death at a random waypoint on main.gmap. So whether you speak to the guide or not, the bosses are there - they're just quick and relatively stealthy for as big as they are. We used to hunt them on the debug server during development - no small task, as they were not yet following the route correctly, so we'd have to track a fast-moving evil bomy lord hiding Somewhere...
I figured that out a long time ago X_+

However, the only thing is this -- when the bosses go into the underground dungeon, I have never seen the boss in any place other than the Dustari or Samurai stairs .. and the NPC has said "He's headed northwest" .. but .. I searched all over that place and never found it. No one else did either, because he remained there until the NPC server was restarted days later.
