The Endstone Protector is a BOSS that spawns in several locations in the Dragon's Nest after 5,000 Zealots are killed in its server.
Spawning[]
The Endstone Protector spawns in a number of predetermined locations in the Dragon's Nest. 5,000 Zealots must be killed in order to summon the boss. For every 1,000 Zealots killed, "You feel a tremor from beneath the earth!" will appear in chat, and the boss's body will rise further out of the ground. When 5,000 kills are reached, the message "The ground begins to shake as an Endstone Protector rises from below!" will be displayed, and the boss will spawn 20 seconds afterwards.
The Endstone Protector will always spawn behind the endstone statue.
If one enabled the stages widget in the tab menu, they can see the phase of the boss.
- Resting - Phase 0
- Dormant - Phase 1
- Agitated - Phase 2
- Disturbed - Phase 3
- Awakening - Phase 4
- Summoned - Phase 5
Drops[]
The drops a player receives from killing an Endstone Protector are calculated based on their loot weight, which is calculated with this formula:
Up to 100 killed Zealots will contribute to the player's weight.
Base Weight is determined by the damage placement of the player:
| Condition | Base Weight |
|---|---|
| 1st in Damage Dealt | 200 |
| 2nd in Damage Dealt | 175 |
| 3rd in Damage Dealt | 150 |
| 4th in Damage Dealt | 125 |
| 5th in Damage Dealt | 110 |
| 6-8th in Damage Dealt | 100 |
| 9-10th in Damage Dealt | 90 |
| 11-12th in Damage Dealt | 80 |
| Below 12th in Damage Dealt
More than 1 ❁ Damage dealt |
70 |
| Below 12th in Damage Dealt
Less than 1 ❁ Damage dealt |
10 |
The place the player gets guarantees them certain drops:
| Condition |  Enchanted End Stone
|
 Crystal Fragment
|
 Endstone Rose

|---|---|---|---|
| 1st in Damage Dealt | 10 | 2 | 1 |

Certain items can be dropped from the Endstone Protector if the player has enough weight.
If one of the items is dropped the player's total weight is decreased with this formula:
| Order | Item | Drop Chance | Total Weight Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Tier Boost Core
|
0.2% | 250 |
| 2 |  LEGENDARY Golem Pet
|
0.6% | 235 |
| 3 | EPIC Golem Pet

2% | 220 |
| 4 |  Pearlescent Dye

Behavior[]
The Endstone Protector attacks the nearest player and rapidly swings its arms, tossing the player into the air and dealing damage. It is only capable of targeting one player at a time, so while one player is getting attacked all of the others are killing the Golem.
The Endstone Protector also has two abilities. Every 10 seconds It tosses all nearby grounded players into the air, dealing True Damage; this attack can be avoided by jumping into the air before the attack is cast. It also can cause iron blocks to crash into nearby players, dealing damage, unlike the Toss, this one occurs randomly.
Upon dying, it replaces the ground beneath it with iron blocks, and a beacon signals its location. Its drops spawn within the iron blocks for collection. Occasionally, it will implode on death, dealing damage to nearby players.

Trivia[]
- Killing the Endstone Protector will reward the player with the "Smell like roses" Achievement.
- When update 0.7.8 released, killing the boss did not drop anything. Within a few hours the bug was patched.
- In the original loot table, Poppies as a drop were later replaced with Endstone Roses and Enchanted Iron was removed from the loot table.
- Players can still get Endstone Roses and Enchanted End Stone without actually hitting the End Stone Protector once.
- Originally, the Endstone Protector spawned instantly when the players were alerted by "The Endstone Protector is spawning", but this was later changed to allow players time to prepare for the bossfight.
- The Endstone Protector is normally immune to knockback, however, Necromancy mobs deal knockback to the boss.
- Despite being in an entirely separate zone, killing Zealot Bruisers contribute to spawning the Endstone Protector.
End Stone's name is spelled as two words, unlike Endstone Protector's name.
