Netherite Monstrosity
Netherite Monstrosity is the Sin of the Monstrous, a living fortress of netherite in the Soul Black Smith. It is one of the Eight Sins of Act III, the eight L_Ender’s Cataclysm bosses that guard the way to Act IV (see The Eight Sins).
At level 250 it is far above any player’s level, and Soulrend limits it to losing 5% of its health per second, so every fight lasts at least 20 s.
Location#
Netherite Monstrosity lives in the Soul Black Smith (cataclysm:soul_black_smith). In Soulrend, Cataclysm Dimensions moves this structure into its own dimension, the Soulforge Anvil (cataclysm_dimension:cataclysm_souls_anvil). Shift-right-clicking with an Eye of Monstrous teleports the player there. See Cataclysm Dimensions.
Stats#
Netherite Monstrosity’s level is fixed at 250, so its stats never change. Cataclysm’s config multiplies its base health by 1.2 and its attack damage by 1.2 before the level bonus applies. See Mob Levels.
| Stat | Base | Level 250 |
|---|---|---|
| Health | 600 HP (×1.2 = 720) | 54,504 HP (27,252 hearts) |
| Attack damage | 25 (×1.2 = 30) | 777 |
| Armor | 12 | 44.9 |
| Armor toughness | 5 | 5 |
| Knockback resistance | 100% | 100% |
| Movement speed | 0.25 | 0.25 |
| Follow range | 50 blocks | 50 blocks |
| Damage cap | 5% of max health per second (2,725.2 HP), so a kill takes at least 20 s |
It takes no damage from attackers more than 18 blocks away.
Attacks#
| Attack | Notes |
|---|---|
| Melee attacks | Plus 8% of the target’s maximum health. |
| Lava bombs | Fired in volleys of 3. |
| Flare shot | |
| Overpower |
The Netherite Monstrosity is dormant until awakened, and it can turn berserk. Damage based on the target’s maximum health is added on top of the attack’s normal damage.
Strategy#
- Plan for a long fight. The 5% damage cap means at least 20 s of fighting however much damage the party deals. Damage over that limit is wasted.
- Stay within 18 blocks. Attacks from farther away deal no damage.
- Raw health doesn’t protect against everything. Several of its attacks add a share of the target’s maximum health, so armor and resistance matter more than a big health pool.
Drops#
| Item | Count | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Infernal Forge | 1 | Always |
| Monstrous Horn | 1 | Always |
| Lava Power Cell | 16–24 | Always |
| Music Disc | 1 | 10% (+10% per Looting level) |
| Pyro Spellweave Ingot | 1–2 | Always, rolled twice |
| None Scroll (Lava Bomb) | 1 | 71%, rolled twice |
| item.apotheosis.gem (Gem of the Guardian of Hell) | 1 | Player kill: 50% Epic, 25% Mythic, 5% Ancient |
“Rolled twice” means the item appears in both the Soulrend loot table and the Traveloptics table added to it, so it can drop twice. Spell scrolls hold the named Traveloptics spell at a random level.
