How to Beat the MEGA SPUD (Minecraft Poisonous Potato Update)

I still can't believe that the April Fools "Poisonous Potato Update" really brought the most challenging boss Minecraft has ever seen. Since I couldn't find anyone else doing this, I made a video showing how it is possible to defeat the Mega Spud boss with just iron armor and a bow.

Wow. You did this with iron armor only? I barely could do it with maxed gear... Massive respect.

[@imroliux5067]

Respect for playing a game Ur wild Lil bro

I beat him in iron armor. It took several play sessions over a week of so. I mostly used lava buckets to burn him and his minions.

[@Remjal]

Lava buckets are a great idea. I never thought of that.

I see the fireball was annoying you. You can actually deflect the fireball with melee attacks just like a ghast's fireball. If you hit mega spud with the fireball while it's shield is up, it also applies glowing to all the mobs it summons too. The video has been out for about a week now but I still hope you see this

[@Remjal]

You can also shoot the fireball, like I do at 25:52. I still find it hard to reliably deflect the attack though, and sending the fireball back into the spud when its shields are up can and will 1-shot you, like it almost did to me at 19:54. This truly is one wild bossfight.

Thys dod has saved the Potatether from the total collapse that could start inside the colloseum, brought by Mega Spud, Potatolord Leader of the Fried Legion, Clucky Contaminator, Toxic Talon Talus, Venomous Vagabond, Arachnid Administrator, Spud Scavenger Stray, Creeper Kingpin, Poisonous Piglin Potentate, Ghastly Ghoulmaster, Plaguewhale Patriarch, Giant Green Globule, etc. among other numerous names.

Hi spud

[@potatobrain9766]

Why you didn't kill the toxifins first after breaking the spawners, the toxifins still there and anoying af

[@Remjal]

I probably should have done that, but I got super focused on the boss and kept forgetting to shoot the toxifins.

[@user-gg3io3cr7c]

nice

[@KL53986]

Why didnt you killed the Toxifins when their spawner is destroyed?

[@SRASS]

i just beat him with elyrta and mace😎

[@EVALM8]

Okay how!? I just tried it and it was just, impossible! I had to use as many items as I could! I had to eat over a stack of enchanted golden apples and the damn plaguewhales! Kept spawning in like hundreds of them and it took like over an hour to take them out, and then the giants started spawning in and dealing an enormous amount of damage to me! 7 and a half hearts to be exact! And i was wearing full protection 4 netherite armour! And they kept repeatedly spawning in again And again and there were just hundreds of giants and plaguewhales and my armour kept breaking after like 5 hits! And the tiny space in that room doesn't help. To put it simply. At least what I experienced, was 10 times more deadly than a warden, way more deadly than a warden! I spent like a whole 1 and a half hours trying to defeat it! And I couldn't and then I had to use the /kill@e command because there was no other option, literally no other option! Still an amazing boss tho NGL!

[@Remjal]

It is a hard boss, and near impossible to take head on. That is why I stay to the sides of the arena and just bowspam the thing to death. The toxifin spawners have to be taken out first, or everything just gets ridiculous. At 23:03 you can see me fire like 1000 arrows into the giants, kill them all and they didn't do a single heart of damage to me. Really fun bossfight, but I find it most fun to beat it tactically.
