The map shows 10 boss pins for 9 different bosses, with the room and area of each. This is a partial list: only some bosses can be tied to a place in the files.
A boss gets a pin only when its death script carries a Hunter's Journal key that belongs to a Hall of Gods boss. Most bosses (False Knight, Hornet, the Mantis Lords, Soul Master and others) have no such link in the files, so they are missing here, not absent from the game. Their Hunter's Journal text is on the bosses page.
Boss pins by area: City of Tears (2), Crossroads (2), Green Path (2), Ancient Basin (1), Crystal Peak (1), Deepnest (1).
How the pins are read: objects whose death script carries a Hunter's Journal key that belongs to a Hall of Gods boss (EnemyDeathEffects). The files hold 41 of them and 10 are placed on the map. Not placed: only bosses whose death script carries a Hunter's Journal key are linked to an object (EnemyDeathEffects); False Knight, Hornet, Mantis Lords, Soul Master and most others have no such link, and Godhome versions have no map position.
