## Boss Information

**The Beholder** (also known as The Nether Watcher/Evolved Ghast) is one of the most powerful bosses in *Arcana RPG*. He is one of the savage and powerful superbosses which can strongly attack the players in the game, and he is **very destructive** to your world you created in the game and he sure is extremely dangerous to all players, and calling this a superboss states that this is a challenging mob before going to the Crystallium Spikes or Crystallium Plains. He can also be one of the end-game or late-game bosses if Ghasts are really hard to find in the Nether and/or if the player hasn't farmed for Ghasts to loot plenty of Ghast Tears.

### **Fun Fact**

The Beholder can be very hard to spawn in Survival Mode if Ghasts are hard to find in the Nether.

## Appearance

The Beholder is a gargantuan maroon ghast that has one red demon eye in the main head, and lots of scary sharp monster teeth; he's also got marks that looks like red scars. It is bigger than a ghast.

Inside the Beholder, it has giant collection of flames (like the ones from Magma Cubes and Torches), and when he is flying in the sky, he spreads the flames from his back of his head.

On the bottom of his head, there are tentacles with red eyes and there is no hit-box on the tentacles.

## Spawning

* The Beholder can only be summoned through the **Corrupted Nether Soul**. Preferably in the Nether. It can also be spawned anywhere.
* The Beholder can be despawned in peaceful mode, and he can also be despawned with an **Entity Despawner**. He cannot despawn when the player is far away from him.
* To craft the Corrupted Nether Soul, you will need these materials such as **1 Corrupted Soul,** **4 Nether Steel**, and **4 Ghast Tears**. Ghasts are hard to find in the game with this mod. Although Ghasts drop 0-1 ghast tears. Obtaining Nether Steel can be **smelted in a furnace** with **Nether Steel Shards** that is dropped by **Lava Trolls**, **Nether Badgerers**, and **Lava Knights**, or can be smelted with **Nethersteel Ore**. Although, Corrupted Soul is a rare drop from non-boss mobs that spawn in the Nether, and it can be obtained by **Nether Ghost**, **Nether Soul**, **Vampire**, **Lava Knight**, **Nether Walker**, **Lava Troll**, **Nether Badgerer** and the **chest that was summoned by the Beholder that the player defeated** (If the player wants to make another Corrupted Nether Soul).
* While summoning the Beholder, it can contain fiery particles that can build the giant egg made of Netherrack, and then the boss appears and explodes!
* The Beholder can be summoned with a **spawn egg** and it can also be summoned manually with a **command** using "/summon gibby\_dungeons.EntityBeholder". The summoning of the Beholder CANNOT be summoned with a spawn egg, but the summoning can be summoned with just a command using "/summon gibby\_dungeons.EntityBeholderSpawner".

## Behavior

The Beholder is a mid-game nether "superboss" in *ArcanaRPG* without many arguments against him. He has more HP than all the mobs except Brangle and Midnight Titan.

* He has the **same AI as the ghast**. The size is about a **lot of blocks long/tall**.
* Its main attack are an explosive and unavoidable fire explosion attack.
* The Beholder **shoots Ghast Fireballs rapidly** and it costs **deadly damage** as the **Ghast**.
* He will spawn **Fireclops** from the sky, which may be weakened from fall damage. It can make this fight harder.
* The Beholder has the most health of any mob in the mod until the **Brangle**, **Dark Ent**, and the **Midnight Titan**. He also regenerates himself, similar to what The Wither does.
* The Beholder can be drowned in water or ocean; Ghasts also drown. This boss cannot drown in lava, so do ghasts. He can also suffocate in walls (Note: When summoned with a spawn egg or command in Creative Mode).
* He cannot despawn when the player is far away, but he despawns in Peaceful Mode. Ghasts also despawn.
* The Beholder can be killed by Iron Golems, but the way that Iron golems kill the Beholder is very, very hard. The Beholder can also be attacked by Snow Golems; Snow Golems cannot hit the Beholder with snowballs, snowballs deal 0 damage (*1 to Ender Dragon, and 3 to Blaze*). Withers, Fake Withers and Ghost Withers can also kill the Beholder; the Beholder is **not undead**. While the Ghost Wither is killing the Beholder, the Ghost Wither damages itself by losing 20 damage.
* When killed, it might disappear quickly and it can drop raining items that the player can get after the items were raining like the Corrupted Soul.

## Strategies

* He is enormous. Literally. Suppose that the Beholder can be tough to kill. This statement means that the Beholder is too hard to hit with melee weapons, and they cannot fit in small insides. Although, the Beholder is almost invincible to normal damage and melee is not a good idea when these weapons has no magic/void damage/blade enchantments. That is what happens if the Beholder has 96% normal damage reduction. That is a lot of normal defense. Using melee weapons during the battle is super annoying and frustrating.

### **Killing the Boss**

* The best way to **take out the Beholder** is to use **one of the** **long ranged wands** such as the **Ionic wand**. The Ionic Wand is **one of the best wands** in the game. A **Sapient War Wand** is also recommended. There might be something that is useful like the wand that shoots and ultimate void projectile such as the **Shadow Rune Wand**, which deals **115 void damage**. Just make sure the player needs to get some tomes to regenerate magic even faster like the **Crystallium Magic Tome** and **Titanic Tome**.
* If the player doesn't have the Shadow Rune Wand, the **Voidrim Wand** is the best void-damaging weapon before the Midnight Dimension when it takes out the Beholder 15 damage. The **Fusion Wand** is expected for killing this boss, and it deals only **35 damage** to the Beholder, because this damage is either magic or void damage, and the Beholder is NOT resistant to magic and void damage. The **Orc War Wand** is a great suggestion when it creates/shoots an accurate homing projectille that deals **10 damage** when right-clicking. **Hadrial Wand** is also the best idea to throw flames at him (The Beholder). **Shimmer Wand** works nicely when it deals **10, 20, 30, and 60 magic damage** to the Beholder when right-clicking and/or left-clicking.
* The most important thing to do is to get the **Magic Tome**, so that the player gets **extra magic**. If the player wants the tome to get **full tier (Tier 25 out of 25)**, he/she will need to get more experience points from **minibosses**, **bosses**, the **Ender Dragon**, etc. (Note: Ender Dragons drop lots of experience orbs!)
* The best tome to take out the Beholder powerfully is the **Tome of Energy**, and right-clicking is best for tomes of combat. **Tier 1** deals **8 and 16 damage** to the Beholder, **Tier 2** deals **11 and 22 damage** to him, **Tier 3** deals **14 and 28 damage** to him, **Tier 4** deals **17 and 34 damage** to him, **Tier 5** deals **20 and 40 damage to him**, and **Tier 6** deals **23 and 46 damage** to him. It might be similar to the Sapient War Wand that shoots mobs.
* To make extra space for the Beholder, the **Nether Drill** is helping, but it can be a little deadly to the Beholder. The Nether Drill is NOT used to attack the Beholder very much, but the bottom of him deals little damage. Also, this wand can be used to make a prodigious cavity, but it may contain fire that can deal plenty of damage to the player when s/he steps on the fire immediately.
* Shooting the Beholder with a **Blindlight Axe** when releasing the sun projectiles is a great idea when it deals **10 damage** to the Beholder when right-clicking and it acts like a staff. This axe can be used as a melee weapon, but it is very hard to hit the Beholder with is axe, but it can be a great idea to hit the Fireclopes. The **Shadow Axe** can be *a lot more easier* to hit the Fireclopes.
* It is very hard to trap him with a Borite Wand when left-clicked, because he flies away from the giant ice ball that prisons mobs. It can be a great idea to imprison Fireclopes instead.
* The **Icefire Wand** deals **2 ~ 3 damage** to the Beholder and it can be too hard to take him out with this wand, but it can deal **21 ~ 22 damage** to the **Fireclopes** instead. This wand is recommended to kill plenty of Fireclopes that the Beholder summoned.
* The **Mechanic Amulet** is a great and spellbinding strategy to spawn **at least 3 Stone Bots** to invade the Fireclopes. Do not build the Iron Golem army while the Beholder is near, he sure is about to destroy the pumpkin blocks and iron blocks for summoning the Iron Golem violently, fiercely, and harshly, if the player wants to make an army of them, a safe place made of Obsidian and Bedrock is the best, extraordinary and phenomenal idea so that the Beholder doesn't want to blow up/explode/devastate the obsidian and bedrock.
* Hit those fireballs back at the Beholder! That is like hitting fireballs back at the ghast during the ghast battle.

### **Surviving the Boss**

* If the player does NOT have fire resistance, the boss fight will be **virtually impossible**. If the weather is raining, the **rain will take out the fire**; although rain is **best** to **take out the fire** when it is not on Netherrack. It is not a great idea to not have fire resistance during the boss fight, unless the player needs to wear **Lithium Armor** or higher. For **fire resistance or safety**, the player needs to wear **enchanted Lithium Armor** so that the player cannot die by burning. **Nethersteel Armor**, **Blindlight Armor**, or **Black Iron Armor** is also recommended. It the Beholder annoys the player, he/she will get something that is more useful such as the **Speed Staff** and/or **Rune Speed Staff**. This helps the player avoid the fireballs that the Beholder is shooting rapidly, and the way he's doing that is totally frustrating because of the fireballs that explodes the player and ignites fire to burn the trees and grass. In fact, **fire can kill the player by burning** when he/she has no fire resistance.
* During the fight, the player would need to heal himself/herself using **Enchanted Golden Apples** that the player crafted or that the player obtained by the **Crystallium Villager** by trading. In fact, **Enchanted Golden Apples** heal the player even better and it can also grant **Resistance** and **Fire Resistance** in minutes.
* To make extra space for the Beholder, the **Chasmium Wand** works nicely. **TNT and Beds** are great strategies, but it might take out the hearts of the Beholder when they explode. Explosives are dangerous when the player or living entity goes near them.
* ***KEEP MOVING***. It is the best way to avoid the Beholder's fireballs and his minions such as the Fireclopes. It does sound a bit like a crazy idea, doesn't it?
* The player can also spawn him in the Overworld, but in the chasm should help by not letting him move. Just make sure the player needs to **upgrade his/her house** using **Obsidian** or **Bedrock**. The **Nether Bricks** might he handy. Nether Bricks are resistant to ghast's fireballs.
* Hint: *Try your best by not getting blown up by the Beholder. Just make sure you hit the fireballs back at him.*

### **Farming**

**A great strategy to farm the Beholder...**

To farm the Beholder, the player will need to get **lots of nether bricks, cobblestone, and/or obsidian** so that the Beholder does not destroy it. **Getting more obsidian is difficult,** but you can also download/get the mod that is compatible to this mod like **The Ultimate Pun Mod**. This means that the player can **obtain more obsidian instead of mining them** by **defeating Obsi-die-an** as a "miniboss" (When it is rare/very uncommon in the Nether). It needs to be at **45x45x45 cube** and it needs to have an inside so that the player can make room for the Beholder. After that, the player can place **2 blocks horizontally** and it needs to place inside the shelter (at the bottom-center) and the player will place the **Corrupted Nether Soul** **on top** so that the summoning of the Beholder will not destroy the shelter like the one that he/she made. Then, if the player is lost, you can download/get **Waypoints Mod** or **CustomNPCs Mod** (Includes at NPC Wand to teleport to NPC like the player was made) if possible. It is even better than flying in creative mode.

Happy farming! ;D

### **With Infernal Mobs Mod**

Note that this boss will be a powerful super-boss when using this mod that is compatible with ArcanaRPG. It can have lots of HP, but it can have a very-rare chance of summoning a tera-hard one when it has "Infernal" on his other health bar.

* **When he turns invisible on hit (when it says "Cloaking" on his health bar)**, it can be very difficult to take him out with a ranged weapon.
* **When he strikes the player with lightning on hit (when it says "Striking" on his health bar)**, it can be annoying and frustrating when the player attacks the Beholder.
* **When he has 2000 HP**, it is recommended to take him out with the **Tome of Energy** (*Tier 4 or higher*) and **Sapient War Wand**.

## Videos (WIP)

*This section is a work-in-progress, do not add anything, do not spam/vandalize this section.*

## Drops

Beholders always have a **special drop** when killed like confetti dropping quickly and rapidly, it shows that the Beholder drops extra items when killed.

* Because there will be so much fire everywhere, there is a great change any drops will be burned. Getting more of these items are recommended if the **floor is made of glass**. Fire cannot be placed on Glass.
* There is a **chest** that spawns below its death point and can hold: **Corrupted Souls**, **Hadrial Wands**, **Lithium Ingots**, **Metallic Coins**, **Magical Coins**, **Coins of Depths**, **Nether Stars**, **Nether Wart** and **Nethersteel Shards**. The chest is on top of the Nethersteel Ore.
* **Nether Wart** is one of the most useful drops from the Beholder and the Chest. It can be used to make the Awkward potion with a Brewing Stand, the Awkward potion is used to make potions.
* **Nether Steel Shards** are best to make **Nether Steel**. It can be used to make powerful resources of Nether steel such as the Nethersteel Destroyer.
* **Nether Stars** are used to craft the Beacon, and the Wither Star Staff. Wither Star Staves can cause Shadow Aura to the player and it can shoot Wither skulls at any mob, but deals the same damage as The Wither's. It can also be used to summon The Ghost Wither with this star on the Wither Soul Altar. Beacons are used to grant positive effects (i.e. Strength, Night Vision, Haste) with these important items such as the Iron Ingot, Gold Ingot, Diamond, and the Emerald (Emeralds can be used to trade with Villagers) when beacons are on top of the pyramid made of Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Emerald Blocks.
* This boss **cannot drop experience orbs** when killed, thus the Infernal Mobs mod is recommended (This mod is compatible with this RPG mod) when this boss drops experience orbs. Though all mobs drop experience orbs beside this boss.

### **Drop Chart (WIP)**

This chart states that the Beholder drops items when killed. This chart has items that are listed above, excluding the experience orbs; the experience orbs are NOT dropped by this boss/super-boss.

### **Special**

There is an example of drops from other mods.

* When using the Advent of Ascension Mod, it can rarely drop Heartstone when killed. That animation of the Beholder dropping the Heartstone looks really funny, doesn't it?
* When using the Infernal Mobs Mod, it can drop experience orbs when killed and special gear/combat that are enchanted (*i.e. Golden Apple, Enchanted Diamond Sword*) and rare ones are not enchanted (*i.e. Iron Hoe*).
* When using the Ridiculous World Mod, it can uncommonly drop Candy Corns when killed only on October.

## Notes

* **Extra nether stars** can be obtained by the Beholder instead of defeating the Wither Boss or the Ghost Wither. One of these Nether Stars can activate the **Wither Soul Altar** to summon **The Ghost Wither** Boss.
* The Beholder is **bigger** than the Brangle and other mobs in the game.

## Trivia

* It is more dangerous than Void Lord, The Spitting Troll, Bandit Leader, Skeletal Mage, Cursed Remnant, Undead Warlord (A boss that spawns Zombies, Skeleton Brawlers, and Goblins), Mega Stone Golem, The Specter, Midnight Shade, and other bosses and Minibosses in this mod in Minecraft.
* The Beholder can also be found in **Dungeons & Dragons**, and the light tawny and white one can be found in **Craft the World**.
* Beholders can also be seen as the maroon and bronze one with yellow eyes in the **Spirit Mod** for Terraria.
* The Beholder can also be found in the other mod such as **Lycanite's Mobs**. In **Lycanite's Mobs**, the **Beholder** is located in the **mountain**, and it is a **flying, tame-able, non-boss mob**. This mob from Lycanite's Mobs cannot be summoned in the Nether. This mob looks different from the mob from the other mod.
* The Beholder's **HP** is **bigger than a lot of mobs** in the **old version**, but in the present versions, it (THe Beholder's HP) is less than the HP of the **Brangle**, **Dark Ent**, and the **Midnight Titan**.
* In the assets, the texture of this super-boss is about the size of 256x256 pixels.
* This is the one of the huge pages in this wiki!
