Sources & scope
Zone and boss records read from the original game’s v0.103.1 (671c6f5e) WebAssembly build on 2026-10-20. The zone record holds no unlock requirement: the order is the order the game stores its 12 zones in, and the zone menu’s lock text names a final boss. In v0.91.2 each zone opened after the final boss of the zone before it; we have not checked in play that this still holds with Un’Goro Crater, Scarlet Monastery and Naxxramas added. Boss health is the base value stored in the game data. The zone, run options and level change what you meet in a run, and we have not measured them.
