Adventure
Other Bosses & Mini-Bosses
Wither, Warden, Elder Guardian, the AdventureZ bosses, Stalker, Invoker, Wildfire and the six Dungeons and Taverns spawner bosses in Nytheria, with HP, where they live, drops and quests.
This page covers the bosses and mini-bosses that do not have a page of their own: the vanilla Wither, Warden and Elder Guardian, the three AdventureZ bosses and its two mini-bosses, the Stalker, the Invoker, the Wildfire and the six Dungeons and Taverns spawner bosses. It belongs to the Bosses hub.
Of the 17 entities here, 6 have a boss bar (Wither, Blackstone Golem, The Eye, Void Shadow, Stalker, Invoker) and the other 11 are mini-bosses without one. Bosses of other groups are on their own pages: Bosses of Mass Destruction, Cataclysm, the Twilight Forest and the Ender Dragon. The Aether, Eternal Starlight and Astral Dimension bosses are on their dimension pages: The Aether, Eternal Starlight and Astral Dimension and Setback.

Preparation#
- Boss Ultimatum covers the Wither, the Blackstone Golem, The Eye, the Soul Reaper, the Piglin Beast, the Stalker and the Invoker. From the third player one of them kills, every further player death restores it to half of its maximum health. The Ender Dragon instead heals a flat 120 HP per player death from the second player it kills. Only players the boss kills itself count.
- A Totem of Undying works from an accessory slot with
Charm of Undying (Fabric/Forge/Quilt). 
Armor Damage Limit stops a single hit from removing more than 20 % of an armor piece's durability.- Dying is not the end. See Death, graves and respawning.
Notes#
- The ritual patterns for the Blackstone Golem holder and The Eye were not decoded.
- The Elder Guardian's 80 HP in vanilla was not re-read from the game files, so the table shows "vanilla".
- "Mini-boss" is this wiki's own label. See Bosses for the counting rule.
