Immediately after if(RandomMove == 1){ you should test to see if x or y is beyond the limit; 1 and 18; 20 being beyond size.

Also:
1
2
3
4
 
						else if (Map[y][x] = 'i')
						{
							BossHp -= 20;
						}

Seems to be creating bosses. You'd probably want an equality operator there, rather than a equals operator.

Tip:
Remember:
0 is a wall on the left and top.
19 is the wall on the right and bottom.
20 is the limit to the array and not displayed.

So maybe something like this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

Have fun.

ok so what would be a way to have the 'i' take damage without having more than 1 spawn?

Your algorithm isn't incorrect (intended double negative).

I am saying that lines: 133, 146, 159, and 172 are assigning spots on the map to be "i" rather than comparing to "i".

You had:
1
2
3
4
 
else if (Map[y][x] = 'i')
{
    BossHp -= 20;
}

Whereas you needed:

1
2
3
4
 
else if (Map[y][x] = = 'i')
{
    BossHp -= 20;
}

That will remove the extra bosses.
