However, during the thousands of years it was left guarded as the golems fell into disrepair, the Redstone Monstrosity was later brought to life and reawakened by the very Orb it sought to keep weak. Its abilities include summoning mines made out of Redstone, charging forward, punching, stomping, and slam attacks that can generate shockwaves. ----- STORY: You are an independent adventurer joining forces with the Resistance, led by Valorie, Hex, Adriana, and Hal.

This artifact allows the Nameless One to summon undead hordes, and its brief wielding of the Arch-Illager's Staff allowed them to gain total immunity to burning in sunlight. Able to cast energy bullets that drain opponents' life force during combat and repel melee attacks with its own staff swings, the Nameless One is capable of holding its own but can be vulnerable to ranged weapons if it is left exposed during long battles. ----- STORY: You are an independent adventurer joining forces with the Resistance, led by Valorie, Hex, Adriana, and Hal.

It is weak to ranged attacks as it cannot defend itself, and melee attacks during its fire ring cooldown as it cannot move and relies on support to defend its position, remaining forever stationary. ----- STORY: You are an independent adventurer joining forces with the Resistance, led by Valorie, Hex, Adriana, and Hal.

Will you be able to best the sentient support boss?

Minecraft Dungeons AU: Steely Strategist ----- Connor is the unofficial emotional anchor of the party and a skilled Tactician, adapting his combat style with melee-based weapons and heavy armor to take advantage of enemy weaknesses. His signature ability involves harnessing powerful elemental enchantments only he can wield to leverage enemy weaknesses by changing out his armor and gear to match them in certain situations. Connor acts like he doesn't need anyone due to a past childhood of unresolved trauma cut short by the Arch-Illager's reign of terror over Squid Coast, but chooses not to trouble others with these matters, and acts like he doesn't need anyone. Deep down, he's tired of holding the mask straight. ----- STORY: You are an independent adventurer joining forces with the Resistance led by Valorie, Hex, Adriana, and Hal.

This prompted the summoning of all five avatars for the first time since the creation of the Overworld, and thus the Great Cloudy Climb began with haste! ----- MEMBERS: Blue (Y/N): The original Avatar created when the Overworld was formed.
