Magma Cube (Boss)

The Magma Boss is a giant magma cube in the Magma Chamber on the Crimson Isle. It spawns in the central lava pool every 2 minutes, at the same time on every server.¹

States. The fight moves between three states:¹

• Normal: it fires a fireball every second and jumps into a ring of fire it marks on the ground, crushing anyone beneath; before landing it throws three fire patches to the other side of the arena. It always jumps at least three times per cycle.
• Split: every 32 million damage taken it jumps to the centre and bursts into Magma Glares and Unstable Magmas. Each Glare targeting you multiplies the damage you take from these small cubes (2x per Glare, up to 14x). It reforms once enough of them are killed, hitting harder than before (+20%, +25% or +35%, depending on how much damage it soaked).
• Flee: once its damage bonus reaches +100%, it shrinks to 10 million health and runs away firing fireballs, getting faster as it shrinks. It always starts by heading toward negative X and Z.

Tips: bows are the safest and strongest way to damage it; mage weapons are better for clearing the split cubes. Kill the Glares first. Players who deal more damage get better odds at rare drops, and each player gets their own drops.¹
