How to Prepare for and Beat the Mod's Boss Encounters

This mod adds four custom bosses. Each one has its own mechanics and its own arena:

• The Infernal Crucible: a fiery boss for the Infernal tier.
• The Aetheric Bulwark: a heavy hitter for the Aetheric stage.
• The Deepbound Warden: found deep underground.
• The Echobound Dragon: the multi-phase endgame boss, with custom attacks.

Before the fight

1. Gear up to the current tier. Wear a full resonant armor set for your stage and bring tier-appropriate tools.

2. Bring Arcane weapons and staffs. The mod's Arcane weapons, staffs and combat items are designed for these encounters.

3. Stock up through transmutation. Use your Transmutation Table, or a Transmutation Tablet in the field, to duplicate food, blocks and healing supplies you have already learned.

4. Carry a Portable Crafting Table so you can craft replacements without walking home.

5. Plan for the boss's theme. For the Infernal Crucible, vanilla fire-resistance potions are an obvious pick. For the Deepbound Warden, bring plenty of light and a way back to the surface.

During the fight

• Spend the first moments learning the attack pattern before you commit to heavy damage.
• Use the arena layout for cover and movement.
• Against the Echobound Dragon, expect its behaviour to change between phases. Keep resources in reserve for the later phases.
• If you die, use EMC to rebuild your supplies before trying again.
