Underworld Knight
Underworld Knight is an armored knight that guards the Underworld Arena in the Nether. It is an Act III boss, and its Knight Sword is the key to the subclass keystones of the skill trees.
Location#
The knight waits in the Underworld Arena (block_factorys_bosses:underworld_arena). The arena generates:
- in the Nether Wastes and Soul Sand Valley biomes;
- at y=31–32;
- at most once per 48 × 48 chunk area.
Soul Skeletons and Wither Knights spawn inside the arena. The Explorer's Compass can search for it.
Stats#
The knight’s level is fixed at 150, so its stats never change. See Mob Levels for how levels scale other mobs.
| Stat | Base | Level 150 |
|---|---|---|
| Health | 450 HP | 20,565 HP (10,282.5 hearts) |
| Attack damage | 10 | 159 |
| Armor | 10 | 26.4 |
| Knockback resistance | 100% | 100% |
| Movement speed | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Follow range | 64 blocks | 64 blocks |
| Damage cap | None |
The base health, armor and damage come from the Bosses’ Rise config, which replaces the mod’s built-in values. Attack damage is the value its attacks are based on; not all of its attacks use it.
The knight is immune to fire, and takes no damage from lightning, Wither, wither skulls or falling.
Attacks#
- Sword swings
- Thrust
- Dodge
- Flame attacks
Strategy#
- Fire and Wither do nothing. Neither hurts it, and lightning doesn’t either.
- No damage cap. At over 20,000 HP it is a long fight, but burst damage is never blocked.
Drops#
| Item | Count | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Knight Sword | 1 | Always |
The Knight Sword throws a powerful slash on left-click. The subclass keystones of every skill tree (54 skills) can only be unlocked by a player who has picked up a Knight Sword at least once.
