Defeat Hollow Steve in Phase 1

Prepare Your Loadout

Equip your best available weapon and armor before engaging. Bring healing items like food and potions. A bow with arrows provides ranged damage options. Have a bed nearby for respawning if needed, though Hollow Steve will interrupt sleep attempts.

Engage in Combat

Hollow Steve moves toward you with long red arms and can leap diagonally. Maintain distance and attack when it approaches. Use ranged weapons when possible to avoid its melee strikes. Watch for its movement patterns—it may attempt to circle you or close gaps suddenly.

Exploit Phase 1 Limitations

In early phases, Hollow Steve cannot open doors or break blocks. If you're overwhelmed, retreat into a sealed shelter to recover. Use this time to eat, drink potions, and prepare for the next engagement.

After Victory

Upon defeating Phase 1, you'll receive a personal reward bundle containing useful items. The entity will respawn for Phase 2 with increased difficulty, health, and damage. Collect your rewards and prepare immediately for the next encounter.
