There are 3 bosses in the desert, 2 of which are these custom ones. The other is the Giant Cactus, but that is already in the game.
Tweaks[]
- The Giant Cactus now gives out a new pet instead of the fairies, being the Living Cactus, which is a Water type.
- The Giant Cactus now deals thorn damage.
- The Giant Cactus now releases Yellow Scorpions and Red Scorpions as well.
Dead Tree[]
The Dead Tree/Dead Trent is a boss that spawns in the Desert, meaning it has a 1/3 chance of spawning. When it dies, it releases the Dragon, Rock, and Drift Fairies. Also, it creates 3 thorny chests which all give golden apples to whoever breaks it. It is a Drift type.
Moveset[]
Trick Thorns[]
The boss creates thorns near player that deals 18-19 damage when a player a player walks into it, then it disapears. You can get rid of it by hitting it with a weapon, though.
Thorn Circle[]
It creates a circle of thorns around it which deals 6-7 damage constantly.
Massive Thorn Wave[]
It creates a massive wave of thorns around it that gets bigger and bigger and then fades away. It deals 8-9 damage constantly.
Fairy Spawn[]
Much like any other boss, when it takes enough damage, it spawns 3 adult fairies. It can spawn any of the Dragon, Rock, or Drift Fairies.
Also, take note that the boss is covered in thorns, which means that you have to kill it with some form of protection or with a ranged weapon because it deals 1-2 damage constantly when touching it.
Strategy[]
Weapons and Cosmetics[]
Never use Daggers, as they are too close range. When it's not attacking, opt for Swords or Spears. Katanas and Naginatas are even better. When it is attacking, use a ranged weapon like a Crossbow or Musket. Knight's Helmets or Turbans are good for damage resistance, but it's also good to use Baby Wings or Dragon Wings to buff your weapons. Since it's a Drift type, the Drift Cape is very useful going against it.
Pets[]
FIre and Rock are key. Never use a Combat or Water type, as they are weak against Drift. Examples of good pets to use are Fire Fairies and Rock Fairies.
Giant Sand Golem[]
The Giant Sand Golem is one of the other bosses that spawns in the desert, also meaning that it has a 1/3 chance of spawning. When it dies, it releases Sand Golems or Sandstones. It also creates 3 sandstone chests which give you golden apples. It is a rock type.
Moveset[]
Small Waves[]
The boss launches out four small waves of sand that deals 18-19 damage when it hits a player. They come out pretty fast though.
Hot Sand Rocks[]
It creates lumps of sandstone around it that deal 2-3 damage constantly when standing close to it. Also, if one falls on you, it deals 11-12 damage.
Smack[]
Similar to the Giant Ice Golem, it smacks the enemy away dealing high damage.
Pet Spawn[]
When it takes enough damage, it spawns 3 adult pets. It can spawn Sand Golems or Sandstones.
Strategy[]
Weapons and Cosmetics[]
Use close range weapons such as Daggers or Cleavers. Swords or Axes are fine as well. Any long range weapon is fine when it's attacking, but you should also use Crossbows or Muskets. Good cosmetics to use are the Knight's Helmet or Turban. Use Rock Cape as well, but you could also use Dragon Wings or Dark Wings to deal more damage.
Pets[]
Use Water or Plant type because Rock is weak against them. Examples of good pets to use are Water Fairies and Plant Fairies.
In case you're wondering, the Drift type is a custom type that weakens the enemy's attacks and also deals damage. (page being made soon)
