Learn how to beat the Obsidian Pinnacle in Minecraft Dungeons. This guide covers secrets, chests, Redstone Golems, the Arch-Illager, and the Heart of Ender.
Obsidian Pinnacle is the final main level in Minecraft Dungeons. It features the Arch-Illager as the final boss. Due to the game's procedural generation, exact secret and chest locations vary, but this guide explains what to look for.
Walkthrough
- 1Secrets and Chests: Most chests are in the open at the end of dead-end paths. The single Secret is a Rune room behind a bookshelf, accessible only after beating the game on Default difficulty. This Rune is one of nine needed to unlock the Secret Cow Level.
- 2Redstone Golems: You will fight many Redstone Golems throughout the level. They have high HP and require careful kiting and ranged attacks. It's recommended to fight them one at a time and lead them to previously cleared areas. Using a Bow is advised due to their high HP and the need for distance.
- 3Backtracking: After exiting the library area (where the Rune room is), you can backtrack across bridges, even through rubble blockades, to access areas skipped earlier.
- 4Boss Fight - Arch-Illager: The Arch-Illager himself is relatively easy. Maintain distance and use ranged attacks, like a Bow.
- 5Boss Fight - Heart of Ender: After defeating the Arch-Illager, he transforms into the Heart of Ender. This form is much more challenging, using purple fire, lasers, and harmful black sludge. It is very quick, making melee attacks difficult. Ranged attacks are recommended. When purple spinning lasers appear, it's often best to take the hit and roll through them rather than trying to outrun them.
Tips
- On Default difficulty, the boss fight is manageable. On Apocalypse, practice and learning boss patterns are crucial.
- Always try to maintain distance from the Heart of Ender to minimize damage taken.
- Gear drops in this level include Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow, Soul Crossbow, Evocation Robe, Grim Armor, Shock Powder, and Wonderful Wheat.
