Wretched Wraith

Minecraft Dungeons - Lone Fortress Wretched Wraith Boss Fight

The Wretched Wraith is the final boss in the Creeping Winter, and you'll have to deal with its string of projectiles to beat the Mission.

When it launches singular projectiles, you can avoid them and fire back with your arrows. However, when it launches multiple pink projectiles, you will be unable to hit it with attacks, so focus on avoiding the projectiles instead.
