Ender Dragon
Ender Dragon is the dragon that rules the End, as in vanilla Minecraft. In Soulrend it is fixed at level 467, far above the player level cap of 200, and it is the main boss of Act IV.
Location#
The Ender Dragon waits on the main island of the End. In Soulrend the End portal is filled with End Remastered eyes instead of Eyes of Ender (see Legendary Eyes).
Stats#
The dragon’s level is fixed at 467, so its stats never change. See Mob Levels.
| Stat | Base | Level 467 |
|---|---|---|
| Health | 200 HP | 28,160 HP (14,080 hearts) |
| Armor | 0 | 0 |
| Damage cap | 20% of max health per second (5,632 HP), so a kill takes at least 5 s |
The dragon has no attack damage stat; its attacks deal fixed damage as in vanilla Minecraft.
Attacks#
The Ender Dragon fights as in vanilla Minecraft: it charges, breathes dragon’s breath, shoots fireballs, and heals from the End Crystals on the obsidian pillars.
Strategy#
- Destroy the End Crystals first. They heal the dragon while they stand.
- Sustained damage beats burst. The damage cap blocks anything above 5,632 HP in a second.
Drops#
| Item | Count | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Amnesia Scroll | 1 | Always |
| Dragonskin | 6–10 | Always; Looting adds 0–2 |
| Arcane Essence | 28–45 | Always; Looting adds 0–3 |
| Dragon Tear | 1 | Player kill; 25% (+2% per Looting level) |
| Dragon Egg | 1 | First kill, as in vanilla |
The Amnesia Scroll resets the skill tree. Soulrend sets its level penalty to 0, so no levels are lost (see The Skill Tree).
Quests#
Slay The Ender Dragon (Act IV, after Beyond Reality) requires killing the dragon. Rewards:
- a Dragonslayer Helmet with one gem socket

- a Dragon Head
It opens End Highlands. See Slay The Ender Dragon.
Slay The Ender Dragon (Act IV)
At the edge of reality, where only darkness remains, an ancient ruler watches over the Void.
The Ender Dragon is more than a beast, it is a relic of a forgotten age, a guardian standing between you and the truth hidden beyond.
Face the dragon and prove that even legends can fall.
