Minecraft Dungeons:Heart of Ender

The Heart of Ender is the final boss of Minecraft Dungeons. It appears in the Obsidian Pinnacle after defeating the Arch-Illager. It is the last boss in the main game, not counting the DLC or the Mooshroom Monstrosity.

Lore
After the Arch-Illager is defeated, he is drawn towards the Orb of Dominance, after which the Heart of Ender manifests itself.

Very little information is given about the Heart of Ender. Its goals and motives are unknown, as well as why it allowed itself to be used by the Arch-Illager as a source of power. It is possible that the Heart of Ender is the manifestation of the voice that the Orb of Dominance speaks to the Arch-Illager with, as seen in the book "The Rise of the Arch-Illager".

Appearance
The Heart of Ender is a large and very tall hostile mob that resembles an Enderman. Its head is similar to an Enderman's, but it is slightly elongated and has a more toothy mouth. It has six tendril-like appendages attached to its torso, which also give the Heart of Ender the ability to crawl. It also appears to fade out near its bottom, where the Arch-Illager.

Behavior
The Heart of Ender has 4 different attacks. The first three are used in order, while the fourth is used between each attack. It has half the HP of the Redstone Monstrosity.

The Heart of Ender leans back and spits out a cluster of small purple fireballs from its mouth. When a fireball touches the ground, it explodes in a small radius, leaving behind purple flames that damage (158 damage per second on Default) players on contact.
 * Fireballs

The Heart of Ender raises up and fires 4 purple beams from its stomach in a plus formation, which spin clockwise, dealing massive damage (230 damage per second on Default) on contact.
 * Beam Loop

The Heart of Ender sinks into the ground, before unattackable heads in its likeness rise out of the ground facing different directions, each firing a purple beam from its mouth, which deals heavy damage (130 damage per second on Default) before sinking back into the ground. Once all the heads have started firing, the Heart of Ender rises out of the ground, and the attack pattern repeats.
 * Head Beams

In between the above attacks, the Heart of Ender sometimes "crawls" around the arena, leaving a trail of a black, cloud-like substance behind it, which deals light damage (15 damage per second on Default) to the players on contact.

Trivia

 * The Heart of Ender is similar to the Ender Demon from the Hardcore Ender Expansion mod.
 * The Heart of Ender is called "Arch Visage" and "Arch Vessel" in some of the game files.
 * The Arch-Illager’s distorted laughter can be heard in the Heart of Ender.
 * It is assumed that the Orb of Dominance, rather than the Arch-Illager himself, transforms into the Heart of Ender; not only is the Arch-Illager still visible after the transformation (and the Orb is not), but several creatures summoned by the Orb like the Jungle Abomination have similar eyes and coloration.
 * The lasers the Heart of Ender fires bear a resemblance to the Corrupted Beacon's laser, implying that the Arch-Illager or perhaps the Heart itself made the Corrupted Beacons.
 * Despite being the hardest and final boss in Minecraft Dungeons, it doesn't have the largest amount of health out of any boss in the game; that record belongs to the Mooshroom Monstrosity.
 * The Heart of Ender's hitbox is actually the same size as the Arch-Illager; it can only be damaged by hitting the Arch-Illager standing below it.
 * The Heart of Ender's Beam Loop is one of the strongest attacks of any hostile mobs attack list in the game, not even the Mooshroom Monstrosity's range attack.
 * The Heart of Ender's eyes are similar to that of an Enderman or the Ender Dragon, possibly implying that the Orb of Dominance originated from the End dimension. This is supported by the word Ender in its name.
 * A clear enderman voice can be heard within some of the Heart of Ender sounds: Mortar Barrage and Vessel Voice.
