There are a total of 127 boss fights in-game.
In order to achieve the max victory score for new game+, you would need to kill each of them unless you use a debuf option in ng+ to increase the score modifier (debuf's don't increase max unlike the difficulty, so they allow you to get to max sooner as long as the substracting stats don't go to high.)
bellow will be a list of each location and all the boss battles there. keep in mind that the bestiary in game is not a solid way to count your overall progress. for that, you should use the 'clear stone' and check your current score of your playthrough on the tablet in front of you in the clear room.
the bestiary can help you find missing battles though, but keep in mind the counter isn't enemies but rather boss-fights. sometimes, multiple boss-enemies will be in the same fight. similarily when you are forced into a number of fights back to back, the battle count is also a total of 1. except for the final boss for some reason.
since the list is quite long, it is recomended to use the search function CTRL+F to find the enemy you're looking for. also, it is recomended to search for the term 'MISSABLE' because there are some you might miss and thus ruin the run if you were going for all 127 bosses. when given a quest as explanation, it's page will usually contain the needed info to find the enemies mentioned. when encountering a name you don't recognize, keep in mind the bestiary in game sorts the list alphabetically if you want to check. following the link of the enemy in question will also tell you what category it is in game.
the locations will have a count of the bosses available in them.
