How to Survive the Wither's Attack Phases and Dash Strikes

As the boss takes damage, it progresses through dangerous combat phases that introduce new movement patterns and battlefield hazards.

Half Health and Charge Attacks

The boss starts with 600 health. Once you whittle it down, monitor its health bar closely for major phase transitions:

• Half Health Phase (300 HP): Upon reaching half health, the boss triggers spinning burst attacks and scatters hazards across the battlefield. Keep your distance and maneuver around these hazard zones.
• Charge Attacks (Below 250 HP): Once health drops below 250, the boss begins executing a charging strike every twenty seconds. Watch the clock and sprint laterally when the boss prepares to charge.

Enraged State (Below 100 HP)

When the boss falls below 100 health, it enters a lethal enraged state:

• Dash Attacks: The boss rapidly dashes and bashes targets every four seconds.
• Maintain maximum distance between attack cycles.
• Keep your shield raised whenever it turns toward you to cushion the bash damage.
• Land quick counter-attacks immediately after a dash completes, then reset your guard.

Once depleted to zero health, the boss triggers a dramatic final explosion and custom defeat visuals.
