Darkguard Sentry

Darkguard Sentry is a regular crew mob in [Dynamic] The Dark Spire. This Piglin Brute carries a Netherite Axe and wears Netherite armor across its chest, legs, and feet.

Its hits can apply Weakness and Wither, while attacking it can trigger a Ground Pound that turns the nearby floor into the bad place to be standing.

Overview

Difficulty Scaling

Darkguard Sentry uses dynamic level scaling. Normal uses level sync +5, Hard uses +0, and Mythic uses -5.

Every listed power is active on all three difficulties.

Powers and Abilities

• Attack Weakness: A hit gives the player Weakness I for 3 seconds. Active on all difficulties.
• Ground Pound: Each time a player hits Darkguard Sentry, there is a 10% chance to trigger this power, with a 10-second global cooldown. The mob jumps and slams down; on landing, everything within 10 blocks is launched away and upward and gets Slowness III for 3 seconds. Active on all difficulties.
• Attack Wither: A hit gives the player Wither I for 3 seconds. Active on all difficulties.
• Knockback Immunity: Darkguard Sentry cannot be knocked back. Active on all difficulties.

How to Beat It

Ground Pound is the ability to respect here. When it triggers, anything within 10 blocks of the landing gets launched and Slowness III for 3 seconds, so getting beyond that radius avoids the landing effect.

Its ordinary hits can also apply both Weakness I and Wither I for 3 seconds, and knockback will not move the Sentry. Close range can stack several problems faster than you can say “this staircase was a mistake.”
