However, all of them follow three to four protocols that are essential in preparing to battle this dragon. Today, we will give you those fundamental tips that have made people speedrun this final boss with relative ease. Without further ado, let us get into it!
Top 3 Things to Remember When Facing the Ender Dragon in Minecraft
#3 – Build an Obsidian Base to Rest and Reco-operate during the fight
The Ender Dragon will never stop attacking you in the final fight. In addition, there will be hordes of Endermen around you. We will tell you of a way to counter the Endermen a little later. However, to ensure that you can retreat, switch out weapons and heal yourself, you should build an Obsidian Base. Any other base will be destroyed by the dragon but not this one.
You can store all your weapons inside and take a breather when needed if you build an Obsidian base. It will be a game-changer for you.
#2 – Long Range Combat All the Way
We think it’s a given that you do not have at it toward the dragon with a short sword. It is not only impossible to inflict damage on a flying creature but it will leave you vulnerable to attacks. That is why, we recommend using the trusty bow and arrow in this fight. Not to mention the dragon can heal itself using the End Crystals when it perches near the end portal. That is why using a bow and arrow can help destroy those crystals, making it easy for you to isolate the dragon and deal damage to it.
Ensure that you enchant your bow with some buffs that will help you combat this dragon. Infinity I and Power V are some of the best ones. However, the dragon is immune to status effects so keep that in mind.
#1 – Collect THESE Items
Alright, for the last tip, we need you to collect these four items. We are listing them down along with their use below.
- Water Buckets: The dragon’s wing attacks can send you flying or even over the end island. That is why, having a bucket of water with you can negate fall damage. Just throw the water bucket when you are about to fall to prevent fatal death. It is a tricky thing to master but it will save you a world of trouble.
- A Carved Pumpkin: A Carved Pumpkin in all essence ensures that you do not get attacked by the Endermen. This will help you focus solely on the dragon.
- Beds: Yes, you heard that right. Beds. Beds can explode in dimensions like the Nether and the End. This makes them nice makeshift C4s to do damage to the Ender dragon. Players have placed the beds where the dragon perches which has allowed them to do hefty damage to it.
There you have it folks! These tips will guarantee you a victory against the Ender Dragon. Do you want to know how to defeat the Warden in Minecraft? Click on this article to find out!
