Notes[]

  • The entire screen is tinted green for the duration of the fight.
  • If the player leaves the Underground Jungle for a prolonged amount of time she will despawn.

Tips[]

For more elaborate strategies on defeating the Plaguebringer Goliath, including weapon and arena recommendations, see Guide:The Plaguebringer Goliath strategies.
  • Try to make your arena at least 300 by 300 blocks. This will nullify the deadly explosion effects of the Plague Nukes and Plague Mines.
  • An alternative to a large arena is a small honey arena along with wearing the Honey Splashers. Filling the arena with honey will neutralize the Plaguebringers, making the fight much easier. You will also get a big regeneration buff from the honey boosts.
  • Spamming projectiles which can overwhelm the screen with weapons such as scythes, magic weapons or summons/sentries that have ranged attacks, may give you a bigger chance to defeat this enemy as it will get constant damage thanks to her aggressive movement with the large hitbox.
  • Try making more horizontal movements, as it will lower your chances of getting hit by her ram attack.
  • Take care to avoid her vertical ramming attack, as it can throw the player off guard and potentially kill the player.
  • Pay attention to her location when she's using her Plague Nuke Barrage, go in the same direction that she's dashing in to have a better chance of avoiding them.
  • Her Plague Mine Dash attack will create a row of mines that can easily be run into. Try to kill one of the mines to set off a chain explosion and remove the rest of the mines.
