Magma Boss

The Magma Cube Boss (Commonly known as Magma Boss) is a found in the Magma Chamber in the Crimson Isle.

Spawning
The Magma Cube Boss spawns every 5 minutes. The spawn time is identical in every server. It spawns in the on the Crimson Isle.

Prior to spawning, lava rises up the chamber to the boss arena. The closer the lava is to the arena, the sooner the boss will spawn.

In addition to the lava rising, Flares will spawn in the chamber and target all nearby players prior to the boss spawning.

Drops
Drops are rolled for all players that deal damage to the Magma Cube Boss: Note: Drop chances are not affected by.

Behavior
The Magma Boss targets and attacks nearby players, jumping to reach them and dealing heavy damage on contact. In addition, it can shoot fireballs, igniting and damaging players it hits.

The boss does not follow invincibility frames, similar to the Ender Dragon. It also bypasses protection from the.

Any damage it receives above 2,000 is reduced to 2,000 + 10% of the additional damage.

When the boss dies, it turns the ground beneath it into iron blocks, and a beacon shows its location of death. The boss's drops spawn in the vicinity of the beacon.

Strategy
Many players should work together to efficiently defeat the boss. Since the player has a higher chance of receiving rare drops if they deal more damage than other players, many players attempt to maximize their DPS.

When the boss splits into smaller cubes players should go after the Glares since they do massive amounts of AOE damage and do more when there are more glares alive.

Another way of damaging the boss for lesser amounts of damage dealt to the player is to shoot with a bow. This will keep the player safe from the Boss's attacks but will also deal less damage than a melee weapon. Using a lategame - endgame bow such as the Terminator will yield massive amounts of damage during its phases.

Using a melee weapon is a much riskier strategy of damaging the boss, due to its jumping attack that deals substantial damage to those players standing within range. The player is not advised to undertake this strategy unless they have very effective armor such as Necron's Armor or Crimson Armor.

Using Potions can also significantly increase the amount of damage a player deals. For instance, s can increase the player's critical damage and s can be used to increase ranged damage.

When the boss dies, each player gets separate drops. If a player quits the lobby, gets Limboed, or exits the game when the items are dropped, they will not receive the items.

Note that s often bounce off the Magma Boss due to Minecraft mechanics.

As the Magma Cube Boss is a, the does 5x damage against it, meaning that it is possible to kill a Magma Boss in the first and only hit on it.
