Foolish Marksman

Foolish Marksman is a regular crew mob in [Dynamic] The Dark Spire. This Piglin carries a Crossbow and backs it up with homing arrows that keep correcting course instead of accepting that they missed.

Its melee hits can pull players toward it, while fall damage and knockback do nothing to the mob itself. Distance is useful, but this marksman has opinions about who gets to keep it.

How to Beat It

Once it has a target, every player within 20 blocks can get a homing arrow every 3 seconds, and existing arrows may keep tracking for up to 60 seconds. Getting beyond that 20-block firing range stops you from being selected for new tracking shots while you are out there.

Do not expect knockback to create space at close range. Foolish Marksman cannot be knocked back, and a successful hit can pull you toward it with no cooldown.
