Melee | Armor | Ranged |
---|---|---|
Claymore (Echo, Fire Aspect) |
Grim Armor (Frenzied) |
Feral Soul Crossbow (Infinity, Anima Conduit) |
Artifacts | ||
Iron Hide Amulet | Soul Healer | Boots of Swiftness |
Use the Iron Hide Amulet when you are clearing the summons or if you plan to fight Arch-Illager head-on.
Try not to consume much of your collected souls to maximize the critical boost of Feral Soul Crossbow.
The Arch-Illager's main attack is shooting 3 magic orbs. These orbs are quite slow, but they are difficult to dodge because of its frequency and the additional enemies in the field.
He can also summon different kinds of mobs to fight for him. The mobs that he can summon are those that you have fought in the Obsidian Pinnacle, yes, even the Redstone Golems.
Arch-Illager can enchant the mobs that he summons to grant them buffs.
Most of the time, he will teleport away from you when you approach or attack him. Very annoying.
★ Strategy Checklist ★ |

The mobs can be very annoying as they can make it difficult for you to dodge Arch-Illager's attacks. Take them out first before focusing your attacks to the Arch-Illager.
When the Arch--Illager enchants some of the mobs that he summons. Since he stays in place while he enchants mobs, stay away from him to lure the enchanted mobs. If the mob is far enough from the Arch-Illager, the tether that enchants the mobs will disappear.
Use the launch pads placed around the battlefield to move around and find an optimal position where you can take out the mobs and deal damage to the Arch-Illager.
If you think that it would be unwise to rush the Arch-Illager with your melee attacks like having low health, distance yourself from him and use ranged attacks for the meantime until you find a good opportunity to get close or have a healing item ready to use.
Enderman | Jungle Abomination | Evoker |
Corrupted Cauldron | Redstone Golem | Nameless One |
Redstone Monstrosity | Arch-Illager | Heart of Ender |
Mooshroom Monstrosity |
The Golem is still strong though. +25% hp is a great buff.

Sometimes the attack of the Golem doesn't deal damage. I think it is a bug.
