Mandatory Bosses
What is considered mandatory bosses are the ones that the player must face and defeat in order to progress the story. Mortal Shell 2 Wiki has a vast open world that doesn't necessarily force you to go in any one direction after beating the tutorial and the first large zone in the region of Fainweald.
Every player will have to face the same initial region and boss, but from there, you are free to explore and tackle the world.
