Arzag the Beast EliteMobs Guide

Arzag the Beast is the boss of [Dynamic] The Dark Spire. The fight has two phases, and the second half turns a hard-hitting Zoglin into a Piglin Brute with an even nastier toolkit.

Arzag scales with the dungeon level and keeps the pressure on with fire, knockback immunity, projectile immunity, area attacks, and summoned reinforcements. This is not a fight where standing still and hoping your armor solves everything ends well.

Difficulty Scaling

Arzag 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, so the move set does not gain a Hard-only or Mythic-only ability.

Phases

Phase 1: Arzag begins as a Zoglin with a 7× health multiplier and 1.5× damage multiplier. He uses Attack Fire, Attack Fireball, Attack Push, Flame Pyre, projectile immunity, knockback immunity, and Movement Speed.

Phase 2: At 50% health, Arzag becomes a Piglin Brute, equips a Netherite Axe, and rises to a 1.75× damage multiplier. Meteor Shower, Tracking Arrow, Death Slice, Hyper Loot, and Arzags Horde join the existing core abilities, and this phase carries the unique drops and class loot.

Attack Push: A melee hit launches the player directly away from Arzag. It has a 10-second global cooldown and is active on all difficulties.

How to Beat It

Do not build your plan around arrows or tridents because Arzag ignores player projectile damage, and knockback will not buy you space either. In Phase 1, watch for the smoke warning from Flame Pyre and move out before the fire expands.

Phase 2 is the real movement check: Meteor Shower punishes staying put, Tracking Arrow keeps pressure on nearby players, and Death Slice gives you one safe lane after its warning. When Arzags Horde appears, the extra push and levitation effects can make positioning even messier, so keep room to move.
