How to Find and Defeat the Bore

Locating Ancient Ruins

To encounter the Bore, venture underground to search for Ancient Ruins. These dark, subterranean chambers serve as the natural habitat for this earth elemental. While exploring the structure, keep an eye out for floating Bore monsters alongside loot like Steel Nuggets and decorative Dripstone Bricks.

Fighting the Burrowing Elemental

The Bore attacks from a distance by launching heavy earth charges. These projectiles travel through the air and break apart on impact, dealing damage across the landing area. Keep moving to dodge these charges as you close the distance.

Once you get too close, the Bore triggers its unique defense mechanism: it burrows directly into the ground to hide from you.

1. Watch where the Bore enters the floor.

2. Immediately switch to a pickaxe.

3. Mine into the dirt where the Bore disappeared to dig it back up.

4. Resume attacking the monster as soon as it is forced back into the open.

Defeating the Bore yields special items needed to craft advanced gear, such as dashing axes and spiked shields. Be prepared to dig it up multiple times during an encounter.
