How to beat Arch-Illager
Arch-Illager is the final boss players will face in Minecraft Dungeons. Since this is the last boss battle in the game, expect it to be tough.

Minecraft Dungeons Final Boss Guide: The Arch-Illager
A word of warning: This article will contain spoilers, so read on only if you’re okay with it. If you tried to destroy it but failed, read on to find out how to beat the Arch-Illager. If you haven’t tried to beat it yet, give it a try and then come back to reading these tips. Ready? Here we are.
You will meet this antagonist in the Obsidian Pinnacle. Your main opponent, the Arch Illager, comes in two forms in this fight. In the first phase of the battle, it will be relatively easy to beat. He will shoot more bullets or energy blasts at you. Dodge them by moving constantly and keep shooting arrows at them from a crossbow. The use of enchanted melee weapons can also be effective in decreasing his health. He may even teleport, which can lead to some frustration while playing.
Items, Spells and Artifacts
Defeating the Arch-Illager, and then completing the Minecraft Dungeons campaign in default mode, is the main requirement to access the church in your camp. This will also allow you to start searching for all the hidden runes and then access the Secret Cow Level.
When playing only in default mode – and maybe having a few friends along – the Arch-Illager is a real pain. Conversely, if you’re playing solo and not attempting to replay most levels for loot, you may find yourself a bit underpowered.
