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 Cube Boss has 3 states/phases: Normal, Split, and Fleeing. The Normal state occurs when the boss is not in any other states. The Split state occurs every time the boss has taken (at, , ,  and  ). The Flee phase occurs after the last Split phase.

During the Normal phase, the Magma Cube Boss uses these attacks:
 * Shoots a fireball at a nearby player every second, which deal on hit.
 * Creates a circle of fire particles on the ground, then jumps into the air, landing in the circle, and dealing to players in the circle. Before landing, it launches 3 Flaming Fist-like heads towards the side of the arena opposite of the one it jumps to. Upon touching the ground, they create large areas of fire particles, which deal  to players standing in them every 0.5 seconds. They disappear before the boss jumps again.

During the Split phase, the boss jumps to the center of the arena and splits into many Magma Glares and Unstable Magmas. It cannot be damaged during this. Once most of the Magma Cubes are killed, the Magma Cube Boss will go back into its Normal state. It gains.
 * Magma Glares target a nearby player. The more Magma Glares targeting a player, the more damage the player takes from Magma Glares and Unstable Magmas. This is calculated with $$DamageMultiplier = 2 ^ {TargetingMagmaGlares}$$.
 * Unstable Magmas jump towards the player, dealing on hit.

During the Flee phase, the Magma Cube Boss becomes a small Magma Cube with. It begins to run away, jumping and flying, while shooting fireballs at nearby players. As its decreases, it begins to move faster.

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.

Indicators

 * 1) Some servers do not have lava flowing correctly.
 * 2) Some servers do not spawn the wave of blaze or magma cubes like they should.
 * 3) The music disc can only be heard by a few players. The reason for this is unknown.

Spawning

 * 1) Some servers do not spawn the magma boss when they should. This was intended to be fixed in update 0.7, but it still affects certain servers.

Trivia

 * The Ember Rod used to be a drop from the Magma Cube Boss, but was later removed, most likely because of other weapons outclassing it. It is a similar weapon to one of the new drops, the Fire Fury Staff.
 * Contrary to popular belief, you are not required to land the killing blow to have the Magma Cube Boss count toward your Bestiary.
