Ender Dragon

The Ender Dragon is the ultimate challenge in the End dimension, soaring over the terrain and guarded by Ender Crystals perched on obsidian pillars. Defeating this final boss not only grants a substantial XP reward but also unlocks the End Gateway, leading to the coveted End Cities and the Elytra wings.

To conquer the Ender Dragon, prioritize destroying the Ender Crystals to prevent its healing. Be wary of its Dragon Breath and fireballs, which leave lingering damage zones that can quickly drain your health. Watch out for the dragon's Charge Attack, a swooping maneuver that can knock you back.

Exploit the Perch Phase, where the dragon lands on the End Portal, making it vulnerable to melee attacks. This is your chance to deal significant damage using a sword enchanted with Sharpness V.
Wither

The Wither is a formidable, manually summoned boss mob with three heads, capable of causing widespread destruction. It primarily haunts the Overworld but can also be summoned in the Nether or the End. Its creation involves arranging three Wither Skeleton skulls on a T-shaped structure of soul sand or soul soil.

Upon summoning, the Wither unleashes a massive explosion before firing Wither Skulls that inflict area damage and the Wither effect, which saps health over time. At half health, it becomes immune to arrows, enters Berserk Mode, charges at players, and begins to regenerate health.

Equip a fully enchanted Netherite sword with Smite V and a Power V bow. Don full Netherite armor with Protection IV or Blast Protection IV to withstand its explosions. Stock up on Strength II, Regeneration, and Healing potions, along with Milk buckets to counteract the Wither effect. Golden Apples and Totems of Undying are essential for additional healing.
Summon the Wither in an underground, confined space to limit its movement. Use your bow for long-range attacks before its health dips below 50%, then switch to the Smite V sword for close combat. Use obsidian or cobblestone to block its projectiles, and heal as necessary.
Warden

The Warden, a blind yet powerful mob found in the Deep Dark biome near Ancient Cities, is designed to challenge players who tread carelessly. While non-hostile by nature, it becomes a lethal threat when provoked by detecting vibrations from player movements or block interactions.

The Warden's blindness is compensated by its ability to detect vibrations, making stealth crucial. It delivers devastating melee attacks and uses a sonic boom for long-range damage that can penetrate obstacles. With high health and resistance, defeating it is daunting, making avoidance the best strategy.
Image: ensigame.com
If combat is unavoidable, use a Power V bow from a distance and a Sharpness V Netherite sword for close encounters. Equip full Netherite armor with Protection IV and carry Milk buckets to negate the Slowness effect. Utilize Night Vision, Regeneration, Healing, and Speed potions to maintain awareness and mobility. If the Warden closes in, use Ender Pearls or seek cover, minimizing noise to escape safely.
Ravager
Image: ensigame.com
The Ravager, a massive beast that spawns during Pillager Raids in villages, is often accompanied by Pillagers, Evokers, or Vindicators on its back. Its high health and destructive force make it a significant threat, capable of trampling crops, leaves, and certain blocks as it charges through a village.

The Ravager unleashes powerful melee attacks and can charge, breaking through obstacles and knocking players back with a roar that disables shields. To counter this, use a Power V bow from a distance, then switch to a Sharpness V or Smite V Netherite sword for close combat. Wear Protection IV armor and bring Regeneration and Healing potions for sustainability. Dodge its charge and attack from the sides or behind to minimize damage.
Evoker
Image: ensigame.com
The Evoker, found in Woodland Mansions and during Pillager Raids, is a spell-casting villager that drops the valuable Totem of Undying. Despite its low health, its magical attacks make it a formidable opponent.

The Evoker's arsenal includes summoning Fangs from the ground, Vexes that deal high damage, and a defensive spell that turns nearby sheep red. To defeat it, use a Power V bow from a distance or a Sharpness V Netherite sword for a swift melee kill. Equip Protection IV armor and bring Healing and Regeneration potions to withstand Vex attacks. Prioritize eliminating the Evoker first during raids to prevent Vex summoning, then tackle the remaining foes.
Enderman
Image: ensigame.com
The Enderman, a neutral mob found in the Overworld at night, the Nether, and the End, becomes hostile if you look directly at it or attack it. It can teleport, pick up blocks, and is immune to projectile attacks, making it particularly challenging in the End where they spawn in large numbers.

Endermen become aggressive when looked at or attacked, teleporting to evade projectiles and water. They deal strong melee damage and can manipulate blocks.
Image: ensigame.com
Defeat Endermen with a Sharpness V sword, as bows are ineffective due to their teleportation. Wear a carved pumpkin to avoid accidental provocation and use water or a two-block-high shelter for safety. Protection IV armor and Regeneration potions will help you survive their melee attacks.
Piglin Brute
Image: ensigame.com
The Piglin Brute, found in Bastion Remnants in the Nether, is a highly aggressive mob that does not barter or get distracted by gold. Armed with a golden axe, its high health and strong melee attacks make it one of the most dangerous threats in Bastions.
Attack Patterns & How to Defeat
Image: ensigame.com
The Piglin Brute relentlessly attacks with its golden axe, dealing significant damage. It has no armor, making it vulnerable to direct attacks.
Image: ensigame.com
To defeat it, use a Power V bow from a distance or a Sharpness V Netherite sword for quick melee combat. Equip Protection IV Netherite armor to withstand its attacks and bring Regeneration and Strength II potions for added durability. Engage from higher ground or use shields to block its powerful strikes.
Shulker

The Shulker, found in End Cities, hides inside its shell and becomes hostile when players approach. It attacks by shooting homing projectiles that inflict Levitation, making players susceptible to fall damage.
Attack Patterns & How to Defeat
Image: ensigame.com
Shulkers use their shells for high damage resistance and can teleport to evade attacks. Their projectiles cause Levitation, leading to potential fall damage.
Image: ensigame.com
Defeat Shulkers with a Sharpness V sword when their shells are open or a Power V bow if they're out of reach. Wear Feather Falling boots and use water buckets or Ender Pearls to mitigate fall damage. Milk buckets remove Levitation, and Protection IV armor helps reduce damage.
Phantom
Image: ensigame.com
The Phantom, a hostile flying mob, appears when players haven't slept for three or more in-game nights. It swoops down to attack at night, often in groups, making it a nuisance in the Overworld.
Attack Patterns & How to Defeat
Image: ensigame.com
Phantoms fly above players and swoop down for melee attacks. Though weak, their group attacks can be overwhelming if not dealt with promptly.
Image: ensigame.com
Use a Power V bow to shoot Phantoms from a distance, or a Sharpness V Netherite sword for close combat. Protection IV armor minimizes damage, and Regeneration and Healing potions aid recovery. Night Vision potions help spot them in the dark. The best strategy is to sleep regularly to prevent their spawning.
Hoglin

The Hoglin, found in the Crimson Forest biome in the Nether, is a hostile mob that resembles a large, aggressive pig. It roams in herds and is commonly found near Crimson Fungi.

Hoglins charge with powerful melee attacks, dropping Raw Porkchops and being breedable with Crimson Fungi. They are immune to fire but vulnerable to Warped Fungus, which can be used to control them.
Image: ensigame.com
Defeat Hoglins with a Sharpness V sword for close combat or a Power V bow for long-range attacks. Wear Protection IV armor to lessen the impact of their charges, and bring Regeneration potions for healing. Strength potions increase damage output, and Warped Fungus can help manage Hoglin movement. Engage them in open areas to avoid getting cornered.
