  • The wither is incredibly difficult to kill currently for experienced players so it would be impossible for new ones
  • Most likely needs to be nerfed from what i'm told

Something I'd like to specifically discuss from Jake's post is the wither boss (wither king). As many people know the boss is incredibly difficult to defeat, and I believe that it should be nerfed for a few reasons:
  • Even for experienced players, the boss is very difficult to defeat.
  • Most people use turtle potions to defeat it, and I believe that it shouldn't require a potion that debuffs you to kill.
  • The boss is simply impossible to defeat as a new
Another thing of note is the severe lack of information on the boss. I believe that there should be some form of documentation on the wiki regarding the boss, as well as some form of way of conveying this in game.

It's possible the buff applied to all denizens of the dreadfort is being applied to the wither king, thus making him stronger than he should be, however, it is intended to be a big challenge, even for experienced players. If this is happening we will try and fix it. We have no intention of making bosses like this accessible for new players.

I don't feel like every mechanic and attack needs to be documented but some of the signalling in the fight, such as a player dying resulting in the wither king receiving a buff, could be improved to make it clearer what is going on.

I still feel the wither king should be re-evaluated to an extent. The difficulty of it from when I last went was ridiculous, even with three people going. The boss should certainly be a challenge, but not impossible.

Just looked into this and this is true, in both the ways that Dreadfort Denizens are buffed (they do more damage, take less damage from players). We've changed it so that things in the Wither Room aren't subject to this, so that may help a bit; especially with the minions.

Awesome to hear. Thought something was up. Hopefully this makes it a little more realistic to attempt to kill the wither without turtle masters.
 
Yeah, last time I saw lilfros do the boss he literally couldn't out-pot just the minions alone, and all three or four people died. also would like to see this verified to be fixed before I go drop 3 wither skulls and 4 sets of gear lmao
