The Monarch looks slow and easy at first glance. Then it splits in two, and your health bar starts vanishing. This boss trips up plenty of players in Minecraft Dungeons II, but with the right plan it’s very beatable. If you like Minecraft and gaming guides on Technosports, here’s a quick strategy rundown.

| Location | The Sift dimension, in the Ravines region |

| Special phase | Summons a Monarch Echo after losing a quarter of its health |

Know Its Attacks
The Monarch is slow, but it hits hard. It reels both arms back and then slashes forward, so watch for that wind-up and step out of range. It also roars to summon two stalkers and two scavengers, which pile on pressure fast.
The Echo Phase
Once the Monarch loses a fourth of its health, it summons a spectral clone called the Echo, which has the same attacks. Now you’re facing two bosses and four minions while avoiding ichor puddles. The good news is that killing the Monarch automatically kills the Echo, so you don’t have to chase both.
The Winning Strategy
Here’s the plan that works best:
- Clear minions first: Use ranged weapons to take out the stalkers and scavengers from a distance.
- Then focus the Monarch: Switch to your strongest melee weapon and attack it directly.
- Keep moving: Movement and awareness win this fight, so never stand still in the ichor.
- Ignore the Echo if needed: You can kill it first, but going straight for the Monarch is often faster.
Some players also report that the boss can recover health, so bring enough damage to finish it quickly. Want more boss breakdowns? Browse our latest gaming guides.
