Minecraft Dungeons - Arch-Illager on Apocalypse (4P)

4P local co-op fight vs Arch-Illager on Apocalypse difficulty. In an action-RPG game like this, if at first you don't succeed, just come back stronger. Even so, this is the toughest fight in the game. More of the bosses should have been unique challenges like this one to figure out and conquer together.

Swiftfooted enchantment could make you dancing around the heart of ender. And also go in between the void pools (The heads that shoot lasers) The void pools are unattackable. Shoot the heart ender while you are circling around the heart of ender with high firework arrows

It must be awesome to be able to do 4 player mode. I can only do 2 player

[@cusman]

It also means more probability of file corruption in this particular game for 1 or more of the 4 players which is a hassle, but it was worth the hassle.

[@widejeff8993]

Why would that happen?

[@cusman]

@@widejeff8993 When this game released it had many issues on all platforms. For us on PS4 aside the game potentially crashing sometimes, there were multiple cases of save file corruption for different players. I don't know if these issues continue or not because I know a friend of mine currently playing this on PS5 local co-op with his family has been error free. When I had problem, I had reported it to Mojang on their Support Platform: bugs.mojang.com/projects/MCD/issues/

[@frvrandever]

the fact some people beat this lvl alone is insane

[@cusman]

I haven't played the game solo to know, but I assume that it scales up in number of enemies based on number of players like other games do. If not, then it isn't good game design, or they are expecting you to grind to get a lot stronger than necessary in co-op before you can defeat the final boss.

[@frvrandever]

Well, as a general principal, we let everyone equip and use whatever they feel like. Sometimes its the same, sometimes its different stuff. The key is let everyone enjoy. As long as team is willing to revive each other, you can muscle through much of the game even with sub-optimal loadouts :)

It is a stat based game. Once you are sufficiently over-level the boss could be defeated in one hit before it is able to do anything. But it takes a lot of grinding repetitively to level up enough for that and takes the fun out of all future fights, so not worth doing in my view.

[@cusman]

That is the nature of RPG stat based games. Skill is only required when your gear is still somewhat balanced against the combat challenges you face. Once you have leveled and loot farmed into OP builds, it is more of a power trip than a challenge.

The 4P you see are me, my wife, and our two daughters who were not even teenagers at that time. My focus when playing with family is to have fun, not play optimally. This is a good game for that because it allows everyone to contribute but it isn't too demanding of skill / coordination from any of the players. As long as downed players are revived, you can overcome any fight.
