ASA Astraeos: the Thanatos world boss did not appear…

No Thanatos on Astraeos for days or weeks.
You waited at an old time of night and nothing came.

Thanatos is a King Titan variant and the world boss of Astraeos. The game spawns it once per day on a random part of Therokis. Survivors then have 15 minutes to defeat it before it disappears, and at 0 health it is "subdued" and disappears instead of dying.

Our operations record sets the Astraeos spawn time to 20:00 Thai time from 30/09/2026; the first spawn at the new time was confirmed on 01/10/2026 at about 20:04. If it does not appear, record the date and tell an admin so they can inspect the current map state. A historical missed spawn is not proof that today's absence is normal.

Bosses could also become unresponsive at low server FPS; ASA v94.22 (06/10/2026) fixed some of those cases.

Be on Astraeos around 20:00 Thai time; the clock in your profile menu shows the server's time. Once it appears you have 15 minutes, and it can appear anywhere on Therokis.
If it has not appeared for several nights in a row, note the dates and tell an admin.

An admin can read the boss records in the map's saves (spawns, failures, the last spawn) and look for a boss that never left. A stuck boss is removed in the game by the owner, not with a server command, and admins avoid restarting Astraeos in the half hour after the spawn time.

Tell an admin the map, the time (the clock in your profile menu shows the server's time), your character's name, what you carried or had uploaded, and the exact message on the screen. For a transfer: both maps and both times. Report the same day — the backups reach back only about two days. Contact admin is in your profile menu; the Guides page has a question box.

Nothing for players to change: the spawn is a server event. Plan to be on Astraeos at 20:00 Thai time.
