Wise Ender Dragon

The Wise Dragon is one of the seven variants of the Ender Dragon, the boss summoned by placing 8 Summoning Eyes in the altar at the centre of the Dragon's Nest in The End. The variant is picked when the dragon hatches; this one appears in 16% of fights.¹

What sets it apart: it uses Fireball and Lightning more often, and both deal 20% more damage.¹

The fight (all variants):¹

• Rush: charges a player for damage, true damage and knockback.
• Fireball: stops in place and fires a barrage of exploding fireballs that launch players upward.
• Lightning: stops, then strikes players with lightning. A block above your head protects you.
• Touching the dragon costs half your health plus 2,000. Below 50% health all its attacks hit 50% harder.
• Ender Crystals on the obsidian pillars heal it while it is within 32 blocks of one. Breaking a crystal gives a Crystal Fragment and counts as 1,000 damage toward your dragon damage.
• Later in the fight it calls in groups of hostile Zealots.

The nest door locks during the fight; players who die have to break it down to get back in.¹
