Fighting in the Deep Dark with Summoned Helpers

Preparing for Sculk-Covered Terrain

The Warden Battlemage Armor and dark magic gear are made specifically for battlemages who fight in dark places like the sculk-covered Deep Dark biome. Before heading underground, put on the full Warden Battlemage Armor set, load your dark magic spellbook with the four summoning spells, and place your magic staff on your hotbar. Pack wool blocks and food in your remaining slots. While exploring the Deep Dark, sneak across sculk blocks so you do not set off nearby sensors and shriekers before you are positioned for a fight.

Using Summoned Creatures in Combat

When enemies ambush you in the dark, open your spell selection UI and use your magic staff to cast your summoning spells immediately. Calling helpers to fight for you gives dangerous underground mobs other targets to focus on instead of rushing you directly. Use wool paths or open cave floors to reposition quietly while your summoned creatures hold the front line. From a safe distance, keep your glowing magic staff raised to cast additional dark magic and resummon helpers as needed, relying on your Warden Battlemage Armor to protect you in tight corridors.
