Headless Rider is a weekly Anomaly Hunt world boss in Neverness to Everness, encountered around Hethereau. It does not roam the open city — instead it presides over its own Anomalous Realm, "Ride Assault", filed by the Bureau under classification code T-8467[Or], which you step into to begin the hunt.
In terms of challenge, the Bureau rates the realm at Class IV difficulty, and it scales across difficulty tiers with a recommended band running from level 40 up to level 80. Each clear draws 60 stamina, so it is best slotted into a weekly run when you can spend the resin on the rewards.
Clearing Headless Rider pays out a loot pool of 4 rewards from its world boss table, headlined by the legendary Hunter Level EXP and Magic Thread. The full reward table with drop chances is listed below; tap any item to look it up in the catalogue.
The dossier below preserves the Monster Manual entry as it appears in game; the field notes that follow collect the rumors and sightings the Bureau logged before Headless Rider was formally catalogued, and the linked Anomaly case file holds the Bureau's full classification record.
