Bosses Guide

Version: 0.3.0 Beta

This guide is based on the in-game FTB Quests.

Fantasy MC features a diverse roster of challenging bosses from multiple mods. This guide covers all major bosses, how to find them, and tips for defeating them.


Marium's Soulslike Weaponry

Challenging Soulslike-inspired bosses with complex attack patterns.

The Old Champion's Remains

A boss spawning in the Old Champion's Graves, this skeleton figure has been possessed by The Frenzied Shade. The Old Champion will go in a defensive state behind his shield after a period of time or if the target wields a ranged weapon. When in the defensive state, he is slower, but will take reduced damage from all sources.

If you manage to lure him under the open sky, he will be slowed and weakened. When reaching half health, the Old Champion will stagger, and rise again stronger than before, no longer gaining negative effects under the open sky, and instead gaining Speed and Strength.

After killing the Old Champion, it will drop the Draugr sword, and the Frenzied Shade will spawn. He can be re-summoned by right clicking the Old Moon Altar with the Draugr sword.

Attacks:

  • Shield Bash: Slams his shield at his foe, knocking it back far away.
  • Sword Thrust: Thrusts his sword Draugr at the target with increased range, dealing high damage.

The Frenzied Shade (Night Shade)

Spawns after defeating the Old Champion

Note: Can phase through walls and lose aggro if too far away.


The Decaying King

Location: Decaying Kingdom structure in the Nether.

Once a powerful ruler who attempted to make order in the chaos lands of The Nether, was cursed by what he thought was his allies. His kingdom was sieged and fell under the lava sea.

The Decaying King wields The Darkin Blade, and drops it along with a Lord Soul and the Withered Demon Heart. He can be re-summoned by right clicking the Blackstone Pedestal with the Withered Demon Heart in hand.

Attacks:

  • Sword Slam: Quickly charges up his blade and slams it into the ground.
  • Fire Barrage: Unleashes a mass of fire balls from its mouth.
  • Wither Barrage: Shoots a horde of Shadow Orbs, applying Wither and Decay on targets hit.
  • Detonation: Folds his arms together, charging up for an explosion around him.
  • Spin: Spins his arms around, knocking away anything in its path.
  • Pull: Pulls the target into him from afar.
  • Magma Burst: Smashes the ground, summoning lava around it for 3 seconds.

The Returning Knight

Location: Cathedral of Resurrection structure (or summon via Old Moon Altar with a Lost Soul).

Once a respected champion of moonlight, turned to a darker power when he threw away The Moonlight Greatsword. He coated himself in dark runes, making him both impenetrable and able to reflect any projectile.

Important: ALL projectiles are reflected - use melee only!

At half health, he will use his last forces of moonlight to become Unbreakable, gaining Resistance. Drops Moonstone, Nightfall, a Lord Soul and the Arkenstone.

Attacks:

  • Children of the Grave: Slams Nightfall into the ground, summoning Remnants and Dark Sorcerers.
  • Obliterate: Charges up Nightfall over two seconds, then slams it dealing massive damage.
  • Blinding Light: Quickly sweeps his left arm, applying Blindness, Slowness and knockback.
  • Mace of Spades: Swiftly swipes away enemies, then follows up with a quicker Obliterate.
  • Eruption: Slams Nightfall into the ground three times, causing huge eruptions on all targets around him.

The Fallen Icon

Summoned by using the Essence of Eventide on the Old Moon Altar. This is a fierce empowered version of the Returning Knight with a dangerous second phase.

When summoned, Unbreakable will be used right away, affecting all nearby players with Weakness, Nausea and Slowness. Unlike the Returning Knight, the Fallen Icon cannot reflect projectiles, but is still immune to them!

Phase 1 Changes:

  • Blinding Light becomes a ground slam AOE attack
  • Eruption does not target allied summons
  • Children of the Grave summons only Netherite Armored Remnants
  • Obliterate is slightly faster

Phase 2 - Harbinger of Moonlight: When entering the second phase, the Icon drags the Moonlight Greatsword out of the ground.

  • Moonfall: Charges up the greatsword before slamming it down, causing ground ruptures.
  • Moonveil: Penetrates the sword into the ground causing an explosion, then a second deeper explosion.
  • Sword of Light: Swings the sword 5 times, each shooting a Moonlight Projectile, with the last swing dealing massive damage.
  • Core Beam: Unleashes a large beam that summons explosions on the target area.
  • Thrust: Thrusts the blade at the target, applying Cursed Wounds if hit.

Drops the Essence of Luminescence for crafting the Pure Moonlight Greatsword.


The Monarch of Chaos

Summoned by using the Shard of Uncertainty (dropped by the Wither) on the Blackstone Pedestal block.

The Monarch of Chaos wields the Withered Wabbajack and wears the Crown of Chaos and Cape of Chaos. Thanks to the Cape, it turns all Grass Blocks around it into Withered Grass Blocks, which inflict Decay on entities standing on them. The Crown allows the boss to heal on this zone.

Attacks:

  • Cripple: Swings its staff left to right, thrusts forward, then smashes. Deals more damage with each combo.
  • Chaos Skulls: Shoots continuous Chaos Skulls with random effects, damage, and spawns (explosions, entities, lightning).
  • Lightning Call: Summons lightning bolts around itself, spreading outward three times.
  • Barrage: Shoots lots of random projectiles - tridents, arrows, moonlight beams, eggs, or seeking shulker projectiles.
  • Teleportation or Obliteration: Channels the wand to either teleport away or summon a massive soul explosion.
