To find the Bal boss, you need to locate Khazad-dûm, which is randomly generated in the lower Y levels of the Crystal Hollows, and then wait for the Bal to spawn, which occurs every five minutes if a player is nearby. The Bal will appear in the center of Khazad-dûm as an expanding Magma Cube, and the Topaz Crystal will disappear, signaling its arrival.
