Ender Dragon
Image: ensigame.com
The End's ultimate boss, the Ender Dragon, patrols its obsidian pillars, guarded by self-repairing Ender Crystals. Defeating it unlocks the End Gateway, leading to Elytra and End Cities.
Tactics and Triumph
Image: ensigame.com
Prioritize destroying the Ender Crystals. The Dragon's attacks—Dragon Breath, fireballs, and a devastating charge—demand swift reactions and effective dodging. Its landing on the End Portal presents a brief window for intense melee damage.

Wither
Image: ensigame.com
This three-headed terror, summoned using Wither Skeleton skulls and soul sand, wreaks havoc across dimensions. Its explosive power and Wither effect demand careful preparation.
Strategies for Subjugation

The Wither's initial explosion is devastating. Its Wither Skulls (blue being particularly potent) inflict area damage and the Wither effect. Below 50% health, it enters a regenerative Berserk Mode.

Equip a Netherite sword (Smite V, Sharpness V), a Power V bow, and full Netherite armor (Protection IV or Blast Protection IV). Stock up on Strength II, Regeneration, and Healing potions, Milk buckets (for the Wither effect), Golden Apples, and Totems of Undying. A confined underground arena limits its movement.
Warden

This blind behemoth, lurking in the Deep Dark's Ancient Cities, senses vibrations. Provoking it unleashes devastating melee attacks and sonic booms.
Evasion and Engagement
Image: ensigame.com
Stealth is paramount. Minimize movement and block interactions to avoid detection. If engagement is unavoidable, utilize ranged attacks (Power V bow) and a Sharpness V Netherite sword. Protection IV armor, milk buckets (for Slowness), and various potions (Night Vision, Regeneration, Healing, Speed) are crucial.

Ravager
Image: ensigame.com
This colossal brute, a mainstay of Pillager Raids, charges through villages, destroying structures and crops. Its strength and potential for carrying other hostile mobs make it a formidable threat.
Raid Mastery
Image: ensigame.com
The Ravager's devastating melee attacks and charge require strategic dodging. Prioritize ranged attacks (Power V bow) before switching to melee (Sharpness V or Smite V Netherite sword). Protection IV armor and Regeneration/Healing potions are essential.

Evoker
Image: ensigame.com
This spellcasting menace, found in Woodland Mansions and Pillager Raids, drops the coveted Totem of Undying. Its summoned Vexes and ground-based fangs demand rapid response.
Woodland Mansion Warfare
Image: ensigame.com
Prioritize eliminating the Evoker to prevent Vex summoning. Ranged attacks (Power V bow) or a quick melee kill (Sharpness V Netherite sword) are effective. Protection IV armor and Healing/Regeneration potions are crucial for surviving Vex attacks.

Enderman
Image: ensigame.com
These tall, teleporting mobs are hostile when looked at directly. Their block-carrying ability and projectile immunity pose unique challenges.
Nighttime Navigation
Image: ensigame.com
Melee combat (Sharpness V sword) is essential due to their teleportation. A carved pumpkin prevents accidental provocation. Water or a two-block-high shelter offers safety. Protection IV armor and Regeneration potions are recommended.

Piglin Brute
Image: ensigame.com
This aggressive Nether dweller, found in Bastion Remnants, wields a golden axe and boasts high health. Its relentless attacks demand careful planning.
Bastion Battles
Image: ensigame.com
Ranged (Power V bow) or melee (Sharpness V Netherite sword) attacks are both viable. Protection IV Netherite armor, Regeneration, and Strength II potions enhance survivability. High ground or shields offer defensive advantages.
Image: ensigame.com
Shulker
Image: ensigame.com
These End City inhabitants launch homing projectiles that inflict Levitation, leaving players vulnerable to fall damage. Their shell provides significant defense.
End City Encounters
Image: ensigame.com
Exploit their open shell for melee attacks (Sharpness V sword) or use ranged attacks (Power V bow). Feather Falling boots, water buckets, or Ender Pearls mitigate fall damage. Milk buckets counteract Levitation, and Protection IV armor reduces incoming damage.

Phantom
Image: ensigame.com
These flying menaces spawn after prolonged periods without sleep. Their aerial attacks and tendency to appear in groups demand preparedness.
Aerial Assault
Image: ensigame.com
Ranged attacks (Power V bow) are highly effective. A Sharpness V Netherite sword is useful for close combat. Protection IV armor, Regeneration/Healing potions, and Night Vision potions are recommended. Regular sleeping is the best preventative measure.

Hoglin
Image: ensigame.com
These aggressive Nether pigs charge with devastating force. Their immunity to fire and vulnerability to Warped Fungus offer strategic options.
Nether Navigation
Image: ensigame.com
Melee (Sharpness V sword) or ranged (Power V bow) attacks are effective. Protection IV armor, Regeneration potions, and Strength potions are beneficial. Warped Fungus can be used for manipulation. Open areas prevent being cornered during their charges.
