Defeating the Ender Dragon to Clear the Sanctuary

Winning the Dragonfire Citadel Sanctuary Map requires tracking and defeating the Ender Dragon across the custom fortress arena. Because the skyline is filled with grand towers instead of open ground, you will need to alternate between ranged tower shots and ground-level melee strikes.

Controlling the Arena Airspace

1. Scan the tops of the citadel towers and surrounding structures at the start of the battle to spot any healing crystals, then destroy them from a safe distance with your bow.

2. Track the dragon's flight loop around the fortress perimeter and lead your arrow shots as it turns between the tall stone structures.

3. Listen carefully for wing beats whenever high walls block your view of the sky so a low dive attack does not catch you by surprise.

Finishing the Boss Fight

1. Move down from the towers to an open section of the arena floor whenever the Ender Dragon swoops low or hovers near the ground.

2. Strike the dragon's head or wings with your melee weapon while staying clear of its mouth to avoid heavy knockback.

3. Land the final blow to defeat the dragon, clear the sanctuary, and win the map.
