The Mushroom King is your first major boss encounter, serving as an introduction to boss mechanics. He is a large, stationary mushroom located in the center of the arena. His attacks are relatively slow and predictable, making him a good boss to practice dodging and basic combat strategies.
Phases & Attacks:
- Spore Cloud: Releases a cloud of spores around him, which can inflict Poison. Move away when you see him preparing this.
- Ground Pound: Occasionally slams his cap onto the ground, creating a small shockwave. This is easily dodged by rolling or moving away.
- Mushroom Minions: Summons smaller mushroom enemies to assist him. Prioritize defeating these to avoid being overwhelmed.
Weaknesses & Strategy:
The Mushroom King is weak to Fire magic. If you have a Yuke or a Clavat with a Fire Ring, focus on casting Fire spells. Melee characters should attack his base, getting in a few hits after he performs an attack and then retreating to avoid his next move. In multiplayer, one player can draw the attention of the mushroom minions while others focus on the king. Keep an eye on your HP and use Potions if needed. After defeating him, collect the Myrrh drop and any dropped items.
