Minecraft Dungeons 2 Bosses: How to Beat All 10

Minecraft Dungeons II has ten full bosses, from the Twisted Warden at the bottom of The Deep Dark to the back-to-back finale of The Final Souldown. Most of them are big, slow Monstrosities with a clear elemental weakness, a couple are fast duelists that punish standing still, and one is a secret fight most players will never stumble into by accident.

This guide goes through every boss in the order the story sends you to them, with the numbers that actually decide the fight: health, poise, the named attacks and how hard they hit, what the boss summons, and which damage types it takes extra or reduced damage from. It all comes from the game's own files (build 1.1.1.0), the same data behind our boss pages. Where a tactic is our reading of that data rather than a stated mechanic, we say so.

All Minecraft Dungeons 2 bosses in story order

The story introduces the bosses through its main quests, and the game's progression table gives a recommended level for the Twisted Warden (16) and the Monarch (40). The other fights sit inside regions whose recommended levels you can see on our progression page.

1. Level 13
   Soul Corrupted Witch

   The progression table lists this Witch as a milestone at level 13, in the Howling Woods stretch where Corruption in the Woods has you face the Witch.

2. Level 16
   Twisted Warden

   The end of Down into the Deep Dark, the first big boss wall.

3. Rainy Plains (21)
   Copper Monstrosity and The Supreme Evoker

   Both appear in Wading Rainy Plains.

4. Frozen Highlands (26)
   The Prime Enchanter

   Fought in the Frozen Fortress during Hiking Frozen Highlands.

5. Singer's Meadow (33)
   Sculk Monstrosity

   The first Sift boss, in A Monstrosity in the Meadow.

6. Level 40
   Monarch

   The climax of Wrath of the Sculkers in Humbler Huskland.

7. Finale
   Redstone Monstrosity, Monstrous Opus, The Supreme Evoker

   The Final Souldown stacks three fights back to back.

Boss health in co-op (1 to 4 players)

Boss health scales with party size. The game files give every boss a health multiplier per player count: about ×2 with two players, and ×3.6 to ×4 with four. The Monstrosities and The Prime Enchanter scale slightly less (×2.8 at three players, ×3.6 at four) than the Twisted Warden, the Monarch and the finale bosses (×3 and ×4). These multipliers cover health only, so expect longer fights in a full party, not one-shots.

How to beat the Twisted Warden

The Twisted Warden is the first real test, recommended at level 16. It has 1,750 health and 800 poise, and it is the only early boss with two resistances: it takes half damage from soul attacks and 20% less from melee. There is no damage type it is weak to.

• Swipe chain: an initial swipe and a follow-up swipe at 18 damage each, then a heavy swipe at 22.
• Sonic Boom: 32 damage, the hardest hit in the fight, with a secondary blast at 18.
• Spin and Soul Stars (6 damage per hit).
• Summons: it spawns extra enemies (the data lists a spawn ability and a soul-state summon), so the arena does not stay one-on-one.

Because melee is resisted and soul damage is halved, this is the fight where a ranged weapon pulls its weight. Shoot during the gaps after a swipe chain, and roll through the Sonic Boom rather than trying to trade with it. If your build leans on soul enchantments like Soul Blast, expect them to do half their usual work here. Beating it completes the quest that rewards Twisted Tooth (souls gained +40% to +140%) and the Twisted Warden Vest.

How to beat the Copper Monstrosity

The Copper Monstrosity is the first of the Monstrosities, fought in Rainy Plains. It has 2,400 health and 1,200 poise, takes 50% more damage from poison and 35% less from lightning.

• Melee swings at 10 damage, finishing with a 10-damage final hit.
• A projectile at 30 damage and a charge at 25 with a 30-damage follow-up. The charge follow-up and the projectile are its two biggest hits.
• Bite, a three-stage Static Charge, and a shockwave slam.
• Summons cubes during the fight.

Poison is the answer here. The Poison Fog enchantment on a melee weapon, the Pouch of Poison or Corrupted Seeds artifacts, or a Blight Bangle all put poison damage onto a target that takes it at x1.5. Leave lightning builds at home: Thundering and Lightning Surge are cut to 65% on this boss. Its hardest hits come from range and from the end of the charge, so stay mobile rather than parking in front of it.

How to beat The Supreme Evoker

The Supreme Evoker has the lowest health of any boss (1,000) and no weaknesses or resistances, but it almost never fights alone. Its only listed attack is Enchanted Projectiles at 8 damage, and the rest of its kit is summons and escapes: it calls in Illagers and Vexes, raises a Shield, places Fang Traps and teleports away when you close in.

You meet it in Wading Rainy Plains and again in the finale. The damage per projectile is low, so the danger is volume: several projectiles, fangs under your feet and adds hitting you from behind. Clear the summons quickly with a wide weapon, then burst the Evoker whenever its shield is down. Ranged weapons help because it teleports away from melee.

How to beat The Prime Enchanter

The Prime Enchanter waits in the Frozen Fortress at the end of Hiking Frozen Highlands. It has 1,500 health and 700 poise and moves fast for a boss (movement speed 700, second only to the Monstrous Opus). It halves lightning damage and takes 20% less from ranged attacks.

• Named attacks: Lightning Slam, Fury Fist, Forward Strike, Launch and Overcharge.
• Summons: Icemines on the ground and Illager reinforcements.
• Guaranteed drop: Gauntlets, a melee weapon that ranks S tier in our other-weapons group.

With ranged damage reduced and lightning halved, this is a melee fight for anyone without a strong non-lightning bow. Watch the floor for Icemines and treat Forward Strike and Launch as gap closers: it will come to you. The data doesn't list damage numbers for this boss's attacks, so we won't guess at them. Its unique relative, Prime Enchanter's Gauntlets, turns jump attacks into waves of lightning and ice.

How to beat the Sculk Monstrosity

The Sculk Monstrosity is the first boss of The Sift, fought in Singer's Meadow during A Monstrosity in the Meadow (it also turns up in the Frozen Highlands side quest Illager Intelligence). It has 2,000 health and 1,200 poise, takes 50% more fire damage and 35% less soul damage.

• Melee swings at 10, a punch at 12.5, a swipe at 20 and a 35-damage final hit.
• A 20-damage projectile and a 25-damage charge with a 10-damage follow-up.
• Summons cubes and a Sculk Catalyst.

Fire is the play: Fire Aspect on your melee weapon, Pouch of Ember, Cinder Scepter or Blaze Bangle. The 35-damage final hit is the one to respect, so back off when you see a combo wind toward its finisher. Its reward, Sculker Claws, is an A-tier light melee weapon.

How to beat the Monarch

The Monarch is recommended at level 40 and closes out Wrath of the Sculkers in Humbler Huskland. It is the duelist of the roster: 1,400 health, 600 poise, and many small hits instead of one big one. It takes half damage from soul attacks and has no weakness.

• Two jump states (6 and 9 damage), a dash (10), post-dash melee strikes (10 and 18) and a charge (15).
• Life Leech, which heals it.
• Summons: a Shard Circle, a clone, and Scavengers, both melee and ranged. The game files also carry a 1,400-health version called Monarch Echo.

None of its hits is huge (the largest is 18), but it chains them quickly and brings help. Kill the ranged Scavengers first so you are not being shot while you dodge the dash, then punish the Monarch after a charge or post-dash strike. Because it leeches life, steady damage beats a stop-start approach. Avoid soul-focused builds here, since soul damage is halved. The quest's rewards include the Echo Ocarina artifact, a Special Shortbow and The Eye of Experience talisman.

How to beat the final boss: The Final Souldown

The finale, The Final Souldown, is fought in Humbler Huskland and lists four foes: an Evoker, the Redstone Monstrosity, the Monstrous Opus and The Supreme Evoker. It is the longest boss sequence in the game, so enter with full potions and your Echo Shards spent.

Redstone Monstrosity

The Redstone Monstrosity has 2,400 health and 1,200 poise. It takes 50% more damage from ice, but resists fire (x0.65) and blast (x0.75), so TNT and fire builds are both weak here. Its attacks are 18-damage melee swings, a 25-damage charge with a 10-damage follow-up and a 25-damage final hit, plus cube summons. Frost Crescent, Pouch of Frost, Winter Staff and Blizzard Bangle are the tools for this one.

Monstrous Opus

The Monstrous Opus is the final boss. It has 2,000 health, 1,000 poise and no weaknesses or resistances, so bring your best all-round damage. What makes it dangerous is its kit:

• Headbutt (12) and a headbutt AOE (10).
• Earth Outbreak (18) and left and right limb impacts that send out ripples (22 each).
• A ranged attack from its socket (10), a Gravity Well and a gravity ripple.
• Soul Harvester AOE at 90 damage, by far the biggest single hit of any boss in the game.
• Summons Soul Cannons.

Everything in the Opus kit apart from the Soul Harvester AOE hits for 22 or less, so the fight is about recognising that one attack and being out of it. Keep your roll off cooldown for it, deal with the Soul Cannons when they spawn, and heal between ripples rather than during them. The Opus moves at 800 speed, the fastest of any boss, so do not expect to outrun it on foot.

The Supreme Evoker, again

The Supreme Evoker returns in the finale with the same kit as in Rainy Plains. The advice is the same: clear its summons, then burst it. Beating The Final Souldown rewards the Emerald Hammer, the four-piece Humbler armor set and the Golem Kit companion talisman.

Soul Corrupted Witch and the secret Mosstrosity

The Soul Corrupted Witch is a 1,200-health boss version of the regular Witch, listed as a level 13 milestone in the progression table. It has the Witch's kit: Poison, Damage and Weakness potions, a self-heal, a Slime Bucket summon and invisibility. It takes 15% extra from blast damage and 25% less from elemental damage. TNT is a good opener here.

The Mosstrosity has no story quest attached. It has 2,400 health, takes 50% more lightning damage and resists poison (x0.65). Its attacks run from 5-damage close-range projectiles up to a 35-damage charge follow-up, and it summons cubes and flowers. It is guaranteed to drop Wonderful Wheat, the talisman that summons a Llama companion, and the game files tag several talismans (Ocelot's Paw, Lucky Clover, Thrifty Pendant and others) as secret-quest items linked to it. The data doesn't spell out how that secret quest is triggered, so we won't speculate.

Soul Storm versions of the Monstrosities

The Copper, Sculk and Redstone Monstrosities each have a second, 700-health version in the game files, tagged as a Storm variant and placed in the same fight areas as the full boss. You'll find them under Versions on each boss page. The Storm tag ties them to Soul Storms, the hourly high-intensity events covered in our Sift and Echo Shard guide. They keep the full boss's weaknesses and resistances with a shorter attack list, so the same element plan works against under a third of the health.

Minecraft Dungeons 2 mini-bosses

Six elite enemies sit between regular mobs and bosses. The game's rarity table has a mini-boss rule that removes Common drops. You'll see them in regions and in quest fights, and the mob list and Soul-Corrupted mob list cover the rest of the roster.

What loot do bosses drop?

Bosses use their own row in the game's rarity table: no Common rolls, and the remaining weights are Rare 30, Special 20 and Unique 10. That works out to 50% Rare, 33.3% Special and 16.7% Unique per boss item drop (our calculation from the game's weights), more than three times the 5% Unique chance of a regular drop. Some bosses also have a guaranteed drop, like the Gauntlets from The Prime Enchanter and Wonderful Wheat from the Mosstrosity. The Unique farming guide covers where each Unique can roll.

How to replay bosses with the Boss Totem

Every defeated boss can be fought again. The in-game guide says to walk back to the boss's area and find the Boss Totem; interacting with it starts the fight again for more rewards. That makes bosses a repeatable source of non-Common gear and Echo Shards.

Several bosses also have a "Revived" side quest that is flagged as replayable in the game data: The Twisted Warden Revived, The Copper Monstrosity Revived, The Prime Enchanter Revived, The Sculk Monstrosity Revived, The Redstone Monstrosity Revived, The Witch Revived and The Final Souldown Encore. Their reward lists include Uniques such as Stormcaller, Venomous Fangs, Sculker's Bane and Harp Crossbow.

1. 1
   Beat the boss once

   The Boss Totem only works for bosses you have already defeated.

2. 2
   Return to its area

   Fast-travel with the nearest minecart station (every one is on the interactive map), then walk to the boss's arena.

3. 3
   Interact with the Boss Totem

   This restarts the fight. Go in with the right element for that boss.

4. 4
   Spend before you go

   Bosses pay out Echo Shards and you can only carry 100, so spend down first.

Boss prep checklist

• Bring the boss's weak element: fire for Sculk, poison for Copper, ice for Redstone, lightning for Mosstrosity
• Drop soul-damage builds against the Twisted Warden and the Monarch (both halve soul damage)
• Bring melee for The Prime Enchanter (lightning halved, ranged reduced) and the Enderman
• Clear summons first against The Supreme Evoker and the Monarch
• Save your roll for the Monstrous Opus Soul Harvester AOE (90 damage)
• Spend Echo Shards below 100 before any boss, including Boss Totem replays

For builds that line up with these elements, see the best builds guide. If you are still early in the story, the beginner's guide covers the systems these fights assume you know. Every boss region is on the interactive map.
