![]() ![]() Having this armor, and placing frostburn on the Guardian, increases your damage by about 12 damage per second (as of patch 1.2.3), which is a lot considering your gun won't be doing much more than this anyway. While the Dungeon Guardian is immune to fire or Cursed Inferno effects, he is NOT immune to frostburn. ![]() The set bonus gives your bullets a chance to put the "frostburn" debuff on enemies. Magic Mirror - Will allow you to safely and (relatively) easily pull the Dungeon Guardian to the surface, where you can fight him properly.įrost Armor - The whole set. I still recommend Crystal, however, as even when they miss (like hitting the ground), their shards will still probably hit the Guardian head. Alternatively, you can bring Chlorophyte bullets, as their homing will make sure every shot hits. ![]() Crystal Bullets split into shards upon hit, which each have a potential to hit the Guardian for an extra 1 damage, effectively increasing your damage dealt per shot. I killed the Dungeon Guardian while only using around 1500 or so bullets, but you will want to bring a lot more to be safe. The Uzi, on the other hand, is very slightly slower and lacks the ammo conservation stat, so you'll want to bring more bullets.)Ĭrystal Bullets - Bring a lot of them. The Chain Gun fires twice as fast as the Minishark, so you'll kill the Guardian faster. (Alternatively, Uzi or Chain Gun will work if you have those instead. Both guns will do 1 damage per shot regardless, so there is no need to upgrade it unless you plan on using it for other stuff. If you don't have a Megashark, however, you can simply buy a Minishark. Minishark - If you already have a Megashark, you can use that instead. Regardless of what method you choose, here are some useful items to bring along. However, I will be exploring the method I used, which relied upon an arena built mostly of asphalt blocks. Since each bullet only did 1 damage (2 when it crit), this meant a long time flying, and a lot of gravitation potions.Īs of 1.2, the Gravitation Potion method should still work (it just may be more confusing since apparently your camera flips upside down now). Prior to 1.2, the most surefire way (and probably only way) was to use Gravitation Potions to float through the sky, while shooting at it with a Megashark. The Bone Key has a 100% chance of dropping from the Dungeon Guardian.Īlright, so how do I defeat this Dungeon Guardian and get a Bone Key?ĭefeating the Dungeon Guardian is no easy task. Unlike some pets, the Baby Skeletron Head already floats through most objects, even when not in "catch up" mode. If you get too far away from it, the head will start spinning (much like the attack Skeletron does) and fly much faster at you. The Baby Skeletron head will float around you in various patterns, and follow after you if you move. The Bone Key summons a 'Baby Skeletron Head', which is one of the biggest (and coolest!) pets available. Pets have no effect on gameplay, they're just there to look neat. Like all pet items, it summons a companion to follow you around, who serves no purpose beyond doing this. The Bone Key is one of many rare pet items to be added in 1.2. The only reasons to kill the Dungeon Guardian is for the bragging rights, and for that key. The Dungeon Guardian does not drop any money, equipment, or items, aside from the Bone Key. Now you can be rewarded with an actual trophy you can show off to others. However, as of patch 1.2, the game's creators decided to add a little extra incentive to killing the Dungeon Guardian, in the form of the Bone Key. This served no other purpose than bragging rights, typically embodied in the form of Youtube Videos. Prior to the game's big 1.2 patch, some intrepid and obsessive players found ways to kill the Dungeon Guardian. Though it isn't invincible, it is impossible to defeat without preparations made ahead of time. Player attacks will do, at most, 1 damage per hit, regardless of weapon type. It wasn't originally made to be defeated, as it has 9000 armor and 9999 HP. It is (or at least, was) nothing more than a mechanic placed in the game to ensure players defeated the Skeletron boss before plundering the depths of the dungeon. This head is insanely fast and impossible to combat in the close quarters of the dungeon entrance. Have you ever tried to enter the dungeon before defeating Skeletron? Normally, a special Skeletron head flies at you from offscreen, dealing over 1000 damage and thus killing you instantly.
