Whitebeard is a miniboss in The Pirate Ship. It is a Stray armed with a Bow and using a custom disguise.
The Bow is not an invitation to start a ranged duel. Whitebeard takes no damage from player projectiles, then answers your hits with a frost attack that can stack Slowness if you stay in the cone.

How to Beat It
Player projectiles do no damage to Whitebeard, so arrows, tridents, and similar attacks are a dead end. When it stops and shows smoke toward your old position, move out of that line before the 3-second Frost Cone begins.
Hard and Mythic add Taze on Whitebeard’s hits, repeatedly applying heavy Slowness during the jolt. Mythic adds Poison I as well, making direct hits even more expensive.
