How to Survive Bogged Poison Arrows

Bogged shoot poison-tipped arrows. Now that they can spawn in caves and other biomes, you will meet them in places where you did not expect poison.

Before the fight

• Bring milk. Drinking it removes poison effects.
• Carry food and keep your health topped up. Poison drains health while it lasts.
• Wear armor. It reduces the arrow's direct damage, though not the poison effect.

During the fight

1. Break line of sight. Step behind a block or around a corner as soon as you spot one.

2. Approach in a zigzag, or close the distance with a shield raised. A shield blocks the arrow and its poison.

3. Remember that poison will not take you below the minimum health a normal poison effect leaves you.

4. Kill it in melee. Bogged are fragile up close, like skeletons.

Mixed groups

Bogged often appear next to regular skeletons now. Treat every skeleton as a possible bogged. Take cover first, then check which ones are shooting poison.
