Tips & Strategies for Beating Corrupted Cauldron

Strategy Checklist



Do Not Try to Clear the Pink Slimes

The Corrupted Cauldron will endlessly spew out pink slimes around the area. Though there is a maximum limit of pink slimes allowed at once, it will take a while before the cauldron reaches it so focus on attacking the boss and defeat only the slimes in your way.

Avoid the Firewall

The Corrupted Cauldron will be open for melee attacks for a brief moment. Once it starts charging up, stay away from it as it will put up a firewall that deals damage on contact.

Use Ranged Attacks

The safest way to deal with this boss is by using ranged attacks. Your arrows can pass through its firewall which makes it easier to chip down its health while being safe from the firewall and the barrage of pink slime projectiles.

Take Cover Behind the House

A house at the upper right of the area can be used as a cover if you need to heal or plan your next move. Quickly move behind it to take cover from the slimes until you are ready to get back in the fight.

Head to the Opposite Side of the Slimes

The Corrupted Cauldron throws its slimes near you, so after it does, run and roll toward the other side of Cauldron in order to avoid getting swarmed by the slimes' projectiles.

It's kinda common in the Jungle. When I roll over the wall of when they are not spawning yet, most of the time I'll get stuck.
