Mini-Bosses Overview
These Illagers and Golems are classified as "Mini-Bosses" because they are significantly stronger than your average Illager, boasting unique powers that set them apart.
The Twin Hunters
1. Advanced Redstone Golem
Spin Attack: Deals 6 damage per tick.
Smash Attack: Grabs two Redstone blocks on its back, smashing them down to deal 15 damage.
2. Advanced Obsidian Golem
Obsidian Mine: Fires a mine that deals variable damage based on proximity.
Mine Field: Summons a series of explosive Obsidian Mines around itself.
Both Golems spawn during the fifth and seventh waves of a raid, combining to a staggering 200 health. Defeating them grants players access to their unique drops, including the Advanced Obsidian Golem's cannon and the Advanced Redstone Golem's spikes and horns, along with their respective heads.
The Redstone Monstrosity: The Illager War Machine
Redstone Mines: Summons and spits Redstone Mines.
Smash Attack: Deals 17 damage.
Spawning at the outskirts of villages during raids, the Redstone Monstrosity appears 4 minutes after the fifth or seventh wave. With no way to prevent its spawning, players are warned by a notification in chat upon its arrival. This hulking beast cannot be harmed by explosions or fall damage. Defeating it rewards players with its head, granting the Hero of the Village II effect within a 25-block radius, and the adorable Redstone Ministrosity, a tamed companion.
The Freakager: The Freakish Nether Biologist
Potion Transformation: Transforms villagers into Ragno, a spider-villager mutant.
Pumpkin Bombs: Summons bombs that explode after a short duration.
Healing Candy: Summons sentient candies that heal him.
Axe Throw: Throws axes dealing significant damage.
Potion Spray: Throws slowness or wither potions, increasing in intensity as health decreases.
Freakager becomes more aggressive at half health, and upon defeat, his creation, Ragno, emerges as a final challenge.
Ragno: The Creation of Nightmares
Web Spit: Slows players significantly.
Pumpkin Bombs and Healing Candy: Similar to Freakager’s abilities but with added chaos.
Camager Spit: Summons the Camager, a mutant Vindicator.
Earthquake: Deals damage and disorients players.
Violent Screech: Unleashes a devastating sound attack.
After defeating Ragno, players witness the soul of the transformed villager, further emphasizing the dark themes of this battle. Rewards include Freakager's Axe and the Bag of Horror, with additional items providing unique effects.
The Materialization Core: Materializer
Upon defeating the Redstone Monstrosity or Ragno, players discover the Materialization Core: Materializer, a mysterious entity from another universe. This odd piece of machinery summons a portal and offers trades for other types of Materialization Cores. Engaging with the Materializer is ill-advised, as he possesses 10,000 health and wields command blocks, suggesting an ominous and untrustworthy presence.
The Obsidian Keep
This fortress houses the Obsidian Monstrosity, a powerful enemy that players must confront to progress through the Morellagers storyline.
Obsidian Monstrosity: The Obsidian War Destroyer
Smash Attack: Executes three consecutive smashes with escalating damage.
Obsidian Mines: Fires explosive mines that must be avoided.
Obsidian Cubes: Summons cubes that pursue players.
This relentless foe embodies the destructive power of the Illagers, and defeating it marks the end of Chapter 2.
The Windswept Tower: Confronting the Vindicator Master
After slaying the Obsidian Monstrosity, players must face the Vindicator Master within the Windswept Tower, filled with powerful Illagers and challenges.
During the encounter, a cutscene plays where the Vindicator Master monologues before summoning waves of powerful Illagers using his staff. Players must defeat these waves to damage the staff itself, making this encounter a true test of skill and strategy.
