Prepare for Phase 10 and New Game+ Mode
Understand Phase 10's Three-Stage Final Showdown
Phase 10 is fundamentally different from earlier phases. Hollow Steve enters an enraged state with three distinct combat stages, each escalating in aggression, speed, and damage output. This final battle requires peak preparation and execution.
Gather Maximum Resources
Before Phase 10, accumulate stacks of healing items, potions of strength, and damage-boosting consumables. Craft or find enchanted Netherite armor and weapons—standard gear will not suffice. Gather Totems of Undying if available; they provide crucial second chances during the final stages.
Master the Three Stages
Each stage of Phase 10 introduces new attack patterns and increased mobility. Hollow Steve's teleportation becomes more frequent, and it may break light sources and shelter blocks if destructive options are enabled. Adapt your strategy between stages—what worked in Stage 1 may fail in Stage 3.
Claim Victory Rewards and New Game+
Defeating Phase 10 grants substantial loot: stacks of Netherite blocks, Diamond blocks, and Enchanted Golden Apples. You unlock New Game+ mode, where Hollow Steve has higher health, damage, and speed scaling. This mode offers a fresh challenge for experienced players.
