EPIC Minecraft 1.20+ Adventures: Amethyst Crab vs Netherite Monstrosity

Welcome to the Mischief I’m Valen and this is lenders cataclysm today I’m going to be taking you through just about everything that I can think of in order to try and help you accomplish conquering this mod but first things first let’s talk about some preparation if you have not

Experienced this mod before it’s an extremely challenging boss fighting mod that adds in some different world gen and um lots of bosses so each one will have different kinds of drops and challenges with trying to defeat them and I’m going to try and help you through with that because without having

Some overpowered mods also installed you might be in for a really tough battle so to start with your food yes I know it’s very basic if you can find enchanted golden apples great but otherwise golden apples during any of these boss fights is pretty much going to be required for

The most part so you’re going to want to stock up on gold but before that I would recommend that you pick a place to have a base and Lush caves is actually a really really good place because you’re going to want to on occasion fight a boss that may randomly spawn there that

Being said I would recommend that fighting any of the bosses mini or otherwise in this mod you probably should start with Diamond Plus at least Protection One on there then uh later on if you really are struggling you can always go with something like protection

Four on any of your armor and if you’re getting hit with some really big beefy hits from some of these bosses which will happen netherite armor is going to be required but you’ll also end up getting some of the new armor types and or weapons that you might get from some

Of the boss drops or some of the loot that they might give you keeping all that in mind there are several immunities that several bosses will have but some of them might also have some weaknesses we’re going to explore that now I’m going to take you through each

Of these individually but it doesn’t mean that you have to fight each of these bosses in the order that I give you fighting several mini bosses before then coming back to fight the appropriate boss will sometimes make things a little bit simpler for you so let’s start off with some easy to get

Armor that is actually not as easy as it seems in your travels I’m assuming that you’ve done a bunch of that already I’m going to have some diamond armor with just some simple prote section one uh you get a little bit of armor toughness to help from large hits from injuring

You too badly but I am going to say also it wouldn’t hurt to have yourself some kind of weapon in this case I’ve just got a sharpness diamond sword you can also get away with an axe just fine Shields are going to be Paramount in a lot of the boss fights so putting

Unbreaking three on them is really going to save you a lot of shields or you just need to carry some backups because some of them will just cleave right through the durability on these things and of course don’t overlook the possibility of just poisoning a boss and running around

And waiting for it to run off this will apply in several situations but not all of them our first boss is more of a mini boss this one I don’t think would rank very high on the difficulty scale but it is kind of a warm-up very rarely in Lush

Caves you may find a crab boss known as the amethyst crab by spawning one in you can see here it’s pretty darn cool it will burrow up from the ground when it does spawn you might need some kind of mini map mod to help you try and find

These things they also may have a little difficulty with some of the drip leaves on occasion going into survival mode they aren’t really going to just straight up attack you they are relatively neutral until actually attacked but then once they do they have a possibility of attacking you with some

Kind of well I’ll just call it a dig explosion and then it also has a punch attack but if you see it coming just hold your Shield up and you’ll notice that it sometimes will break your Shield just like an axe will but if you see it

Dig down also be aware it might do that dig explosion effect just basically moving in to attack it and then also removing yourself from any kind of danger as you notice here it’s having a little bit of problems with this big drip Leaf in the way giving me the

Advantage to just kind of smash it down now the other option is to of course just shoot it with a bow is not a very difficult thing this is just kind of warming you up and giving you access to different stuff attacking it while it’s down below won’t do anything as you just

Heard it will just kind of bounce off but again you’re going to want to be careful about some of these punches and the attacks because they can hurt you quite a bit now it does have 100 hit points and 10 armor points but that’s not to be worried

About because the drops are what you’re more interested in this little mini boss can spawn again in Lush uh Lush caves biomes and these drops that it will drop are something that can be extremely valuable the amethyst crab meat while it looks tasty and something that you

Really want to try and start eating you don’t want too later on you’re going to be using it in an altar of amethyst if you’re fighting the Leviathan uh and the effects that blessed amethyst crab meat can give you during that boss fight is really really going to help you survive

A lot so you’re going to want to just kind of store those for future you because future you is going to thank you a lot other than that you get amethyst crab shells enough of these and you’ll get yourself some bloomstone ptron these can really help you out with a little

Bit of some fun and finesse as well as armor protection putting on some bloomstone paldrons you can then gain the ability to start digging while you’re well sneaking to give you an example I have some on now and if if I hold sneak I then kind of burrow into

The ground giving myself a little bit of protection from some kind of ranged attacks but when I pop back up by letting go of sneak I then do my own little special attack now it does have the same armor and toughness that diamond chest plate does but it does

Also give you a little bit of knockback resistance and that really cool special effect for kind of digging down which you can actually use to get through some narrow gaps if needed but otherwise it’s just kind of Handy and it wouldn’t hurt to kind of base in a lush cave area

Because the Rarity of these crabs spawning is uh really difficult to try and find them to begin with the next boss on my list is the netherite monstrosity now this is actually going to be a bit of a challenge this can be found at the soul blacksmith in the

Nether so you’re going to have to go prepared you’ll have to have been in the nether before you can’t just go straight in because you will need netherite scrap in order to find where it is using an eye of monstrous the requires a little bit of lava buckets some Blackstone ey

Ofender and those netherite scrap not to worry any of the eyes used to find bosses in this mod when used will actually be safe from lava whether it gets hit by it falls into it whatever so it will kind of be fireproof and so on

You only do tend to get uh like maybe one of these uh so if you make more than one it does it’s not going to hurt but you probably don’t need more than one unless it really falls into a really difficult spot to get to so once you

Find the soul blacksmith where this netherite monstrosity resides as you can see down here at the end it’s not attacking me because I’m in Creative but it’s highly recommended that you use a respawn anchor this is just a vanilla item that you can easily make in the

Nether and just refill it with a little bit of Glowstone once you’ve done so be sure to right click on it and you can set your resawn to this point using one of those glowstone each time that you die you don’t want to be too close but it would be beneficial because sometimes

Finding some of these bosses in these Arenas can be hundreds if not thousands upon thousands of blocks away with that in mind requirements for this boss fight at least diamond with Protection One armor or better uh the higher it is the easier the B the fight’s going to be uh

On top of that you’re going to want a shield preferably with some kind of Unbreaking or multiple Shields at your fingertips some kind of weapon with a higher sh rating on it is preferred an Axe and a sword both work just fine as a tactics of jumping in Hitting and

Running Away do tend to work really well with an axe and a sword will just allow you to get as many hits in as possible during those opportunities now in this case ranged Weaponry like a crossbow or a bow will not work but you might be

Able to get away with a trident with some loyalty on it though those are very difficult to come by as one might expect as usual you’re going to want golden apples and a potion of fire resistance at the least you can use poison on this

Guy and let that do some of the work for you on top of that a stack of Netherrack is actually going to help you out with eliminating some of the lava that this boss will spew now it has 250 hit points and 10 armor points this entire arena is

Not entirely for looks there is some loot to be had in here but you might not be able to find it until after the battle because this boss is going to be picking on you typically once you’ve started battle you’ll get some epic music playing I’ve muted it in this case

So that it wouldn’t over complicate any of my tutorial iing as you can see he will throw out a lot of lava and eventually suck it back up restoring some health this is where just having a bit of fire resistance as well as some Netherrack on hand to eliminate these

Sections will make it a lot easier because every time he absorbs any of that lava it restores his health so and it also makes it easier for you to just kind of get around a little easier you’re probably just going to want to punch him hold your Shield up wait for

The axe break or wait for that uh attack you can always hide behind some of these structures but he will probably start busting through at some point uh with any of his large attacks for it so you can usually get one hit in and then you’ll have to retreat because your

Shield will get broken but then you just come back in and repeat once he starts spewing out the lava just try avoiding it and O that’s where having feather fall on your armor is really going to be important besides the protection aspects of course be sure to keep up with your

Apples as you need to but that’s pretty much it for this battle if you really want to like I said you might be able to get away with some kind of trident attack for some kind of ranged damage but it’s not too difficult otherwise just be sure that you keep your fire

Resistance up and you always make sure that you have your apples ready to be eaten at any given time if you’re able to stay close enough to him most of the lava spewing just doesn’t really happen but you can also just kind of tank some

Of the uh the damage that he does it’s not too difficult and getting jump hits on them can really make your battle go a lot easier with the damage that you’re doing increasing a lot more and then in the end you’ll end up getting rewarded in this case with a

Brand new pick well in the shape of a hammer also a monstrous horn but we’ll cover that in just a moment one thing you should be aware of is that you now have a new weapon The Infernal forage it does quite a bit of damage it’s got a

Slow attack speed but it also is usable as a pick uh you can enchant it as such you can even enchant it uh and use it as a weapon if you so desire because it has a ground pound effect that when you press the right click when

You right click with your mouse will create this effect but it’s not where you hit with the hammer it’s where you’re standing so be aware that the closer the mobs are the more likely they are to be damaged by you when doing that not trying to just click near them

Because they just need to be close to you so if you’re starting to get swarmed doing a ground pound will definitely help but that being said you now can start harvesting some of the loot nearby there’s a whole bunch of the ancient debris and scrap in some of the local

Areas around this so don’t be afraid to look around the different structure parts and if you’re you’re able to just kind of like clear the path of the blue flame back into this area don’t overlook that there’s a secret button unlocking certain secret rooms that you might have overlooked before so

Once you’ve finished that boss off you should have plenty of netherite scrap that you can use to upgrade your current armor set which might be badly damaged from that armor from that last battle or other battles that you may have had but keep in mind that you might not need to

Upgrade your helmet because there is a monstrous horn if you look around for a Bastion and get yourself a smithing template you could then take a netherite helmet okay yeah maybe you do need to upgrade it and the Monstrous horn and make yourself a monstrous Helm yes it

Has the same stats as the other helmet but it has an extra benefit while worn if you fall below half your health you’ll knock back nearby enemies that can be knocked back and it will increase your own defense and knockback resistance and health regeneration so

With this new hat you can put it on and make yourself a little bit more difficult to kill the biggest benefit of this in my mind is that it has infinite durability so you don’t need to worry about things getting destroyed by Bosses that are constantly hammering you with

Their weapons like this guy like this uh with this hat on instead in this case I would recommend if you have the choice of choosing the bloomstone pauldrons or the netherite chest plate that you go with netherite chest plate yes it’s really cool to have the ability to shoot

Little projectiles when you sneak or maybe get through some some other areas but if you’re fighting another boss then you’re probably going to want to switch to the netherite chest plate if only because it’s got higher armor toughness and that’s going to help reduce some of the damage that you’re going to be

Taking and you’re going to need that just from that last battle with an Unbreaking three Shield you notice half of my health of that Shield is gone another benefit of the infernal Forge pick and or weapon is that when used it actually doesn’t have any durability

Loss either so it’s an infinite pick I recommend that you Enchanted as much as possible it’s really good for In-N-Out gorilla-like tactics where you you need to go in attack a boss and Retreat and recover just once then you’re doing as much damage as possible with this new

Infinite use durability pick SL weapon and you might even be able to do a quick hit and ground pound at just immediately after and do kind of like a little bit of double damage so just to give you a bit of an example of how this ground

Pound Works let’s stand in the middle here and use it problem is you actually have to aim at the ground itself but in a very large area it’ll do the damage of this pick so it can be very devastating when used properly otherwise you can

Just use it to whack one uh enemy at a time with a really slow recharge for either effect another nice thing is that if you don’t want to use the ground pound you don’t have to you can just not aim at the ground and you can still use

Your Shield even though it is such a large weapon to wield so that about sums up everything you need for this boss so let’s move on to another one that’s right there’s more parts to this series so don’t stop here feel free to click on here once the video is out on the
