Have A LOT of arrows and souls ready before this battle to maximize the critical boost of Feral Soul Crossbow. Save as much souls as you can by resorting to potions instead of using the Soul Healer, only use this artifact when it is absolutely necessary.

Use the Iron Hide Amulet especially if you get cornered by its flames and laser attacks.

Tips & Strategies for Beating Heart of Ender

Strategy Checklist


Prepare a Lot of Arrows

As mentioned above, your bow is the MVP here since it is really difficult to get close because of the flames and lasers so prepare as much arrows as you can before the fight. Once the battle begins, do not be stingy and rain arrows like a madman and it will go down pretty quickly.

Watch Out for Its Body Lasers

Four lasers.jpg

After scattereing ender flames and leaving a trail of black flames, it will unleash lasers from its body and start spinning. This is the most difficult part of this battle as the all of the attacks mentioned deal continuous heavy damage.

Do not try to get close to it and attack it with your melee weapon either since its core also deals damage.

After it stops spinning, there will be a short moment when it is vulnerable to melee attacks before disappearing, but since it is not efficient, your best friend will still be your ranged weapon.

Be Aware of the Ender Heads

Most of the time, the Heart of Ender summons ender heads from the ground after submerging. Observe the direction where the heads are facing and immediately get out of it before they unleash their laser beams which, obviously, deal continuous massive damage.
