The Alchemist (Boss Mob)

Wassup guys, it's Thundercat3 here, with another page because I have way too many ideas. This one is about a boss mob that I came up with, The Alchemist. So, let's get into it!



Meeting The Alchemist
So you've beat the ender dragon. You beat the wither, you journeyed to the end city, you've crammed every possible enchantment on your netherite tools, netherite armor, and even one-tier tools, and there's nothing left to do...

Or is there? Deep in the depths of the library in the stronghold that you first went to the end in ... lies another opponent who would be happy to go up against you, and could defeat you in the blink of an eye. Don't be deceived by his mere 50 heath, he has many potions that help him get more. It's The Alchemist.

Competing The Alchemist
Well, you found The Alchemist. So what do you do now? How does he fight? What strategy do you use to win?

Engaging in combat is simple. You simply walk into the library, and then suddenly all the bookshelves retract into the floor to reveal The Alchemist standing at the other side of the library with a grey double chest behind him. And then the fight begins.

The first thing to be wary of with The Alchemist are his axe and his gauntlet. If he gets in close, he will alternate striking you with them. The gauntlet does less damage, but knocks you straight up to the ceiling, which can deal serious damage if you don't have the Feather Falling enchantment. His axe is made of iron, and therefore does the corresponding amount of damage. However, it is enchanted with Fire Aspect and Knockback, which make it very threatening.

Now while those are the most threatening weapons, The Alchemist also has ender pearls, and occasionally will teleport behind you and hit you with one of his weapons. To prevent this from having much effect, make sure you have full netherite armor, so his weapons won't knock you away so far and you will have a chance to retaliate.

The final thing The Alchemist does is also the one he does most often, throw and drink potions. He constantly uses regeneration and healing whenever he dips below 30 health, at the SAME TIME that he throws a negative potion at you. He likes simple debuffs like Slowness or Weakness, but if you're high on heath he'll sometimes throw a poison or instant damage potion, and if you're low on it then most likely withering instead.

To combat his potions, bring LOTS of milk, and make sure you can get out of the way so you're not vulnerable while you drink it. You can also use instant damage and withering potions in order to deplete his heath quickly, then dodge the splash potion and attack him while he can't retaliate with his melee weapons.

Two more bits of advice to generally do better in the fight. One, bring a ranged weapon. Bows are The Alchemist's ultimate weakness, because he has nothing with better range than splash potions. Even if you're using it in a relatively small library with the bookshelves cleared out, you'll be grateful to have it when you need it. Two, bring a Totem of Undying. This one is pretty self-explanatory.

So now you have a little advice to help you destroy The Alchemist. Best of luck, and I hope you don't die too many times!

Beating The Alchemist
When you beat the Alchemist, he'll pull out his last two potions, the ones he drops. A Potion of Regeneration, and a Potion of the Traitor. He'll attempt to drink the Regeneration while throwing the Traitor Potion at you. However, he will suddenly seem to realize that he has no health left and should be dead, and he'll disappear with a flash, his inventory flying everywhere like a normal player.

You can read what his drops are up there on the infobox, but what is the reason for them?

Well, the glass bottles represent the potions that he had already used before death. The potions he drops are obviously the ones he didn't get a chance to use. The rest of the things are all things he had in his inventory, but what is the Mysterious Key?

The Mysterious Key unlocks the Alchemist's Mysterious Chest, which holds many strange secrets, from overpowered potions to strange weapons to Bottles O' Enchanting... but I'll leave it to you to figure out how to use them!

Last thing, the Gold Gauntlet. This can be put on your off hand in order to equip it. It has a pretty good durability, and you should see just how high you can punch things!

The End of your Struggle
So, now you've finished off The Alchemist! Great job! You have proven to all hostile mobs that there is no challenge you can't take on, and now you have even more awesome stuff! And now you have truly fought every enemy, and the hardest of them all.
