Primal Echoes Redux FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Where do Reclaimed zombies spawn?
Reclaimed zombies spawn naturally in jungle biomes during low light levels, similar to standard zombies. You'll also encounter them in trial chamber spawners underground.
How do I deal with Reclaimed poison damage?
Reclaimed zombies apply poison on melee hits, so keeping distance with a bow or sword is safer than close combat. Milk or poison resistance potions will negate the poison effect if you do get hit.
Can Frostbitten zombies spawn naturally or only from frozen zombies?
Frostbitten zombies spawn naturally in snowy biomes at night, but they also form when standard zombies freeze solid in powdered snow blocks, giving you control over creating them.
What's the best armor for fighting Frostbitten zombies?
Fire resistance potions or armor enchantments won't help since they throw snowballs, not fire—instead, focus on dodging their ranged attacks or using a shield to block projectiles before closing in.
Do these mobs count toward vanilla achievements?
Yes, kills of Reclaimed, Frostbitten, and Viler Witch mobs all count toward standard Minecraft hunting achievements like "Monster Hunter" and "Monsters Hunted."
How do I get a parrot to copy these new mob sounds?
Tame a parrot with seeds, then have it near any of the new mobs—it will eventually imitate their unique sounds just like it does with vanilla mobs.
Will Viler Witches appear in raids?
Yes, Viler Witches join raid waves in villages as hostile variants, replacing or supplementing standard witches depending on your difficulty and raid composition.
What happens if lightning strikes a normal witch?
A normal witch struck by lightning transforms into a Viler Witch, which is stronger, ignores magic damage, and throws lingering potions instead of instant ones.
Are these mobs safe to farm in trial chambers?
Trial chambers are designed for combat challenges, so farming these mobs there is possible but dangerous—they spawn from trial spawners alongside other threats, so bring good gear and healing items.
Do these mobs cause lag or performance issues?
The mod adds custom sounds and animations, so performance depends on your system and how many mobs spawn at once; if you experience lag, try reducing mob spawn rates in your world settings.
