Minecraft Dungeons:Orb of Dominance



"As he wanders through deep forests and up craggy mountains, he stumbles upon a dark cavern—with a sinister secret waiting inside. Archie discovers an object which whispers to him promises of power: the Orb of Dominance. With it, Archie realizes he can wield incredible magic and reshape a world that turned its back on him. All he needs to do is exactly what it tells him.

After all, it’s called the Orb of Dominance for a reason, right? But is it named for the way Archie uses it—or is it using him?"

- Minecraft Dungeons: The Rise of the Arch-Illager synopsis

The Orb of Dominance is a sentient object in Minecraft Dungeons that gives the Arch-Illager his power.

Lore
The Orb appears to be able to put its victims in a trance-like state. After that, it manipulates them with the promise of power at the price of complete obedience.

Its first confirmed victim is Archie (the future Arch-Illager), who ended up leading the Illagers and other monsters to war against the Villagers and other enemies.

At the Obsidian Pinnacle, after the Arch-Illager's health is reduced to 0, it transforms into the Heart of Ender. After its defeat, it shatters, releasing Archie of its control, who celebrates its destruction with the players.

However, the Orb was able to retain its power and survive, albeit in small fragments. One of these made its way to a jungle, where it created the Jungle Abomination and other monstrous creatures.

Another went to a lively island, where it corrupted a local wraith, covering the island in a Creeping Winter.

Another one also landed on top of a mountain, corrupting a Tempest Golem, causing howling winds.

Another dived into an ocean, which corrupted and enbraved the Ancient Guardian, disrupting the ocean currents.

Confirmed Victims

 * Archie (became the Arch-Illager)
 * A Wraith (became the Wretched Wraith)
 * Objects in the jungle (built together to become the Jungle Abomination and other monsters)
 * An ancient Tempest Golem
 * The Ancient Guardian

Trivia

 * The Orb of Dominance is a 5×5×5 cube. No pieces of the cube that large were seen in the ruins during the final cutscene in the Obsidian Pinnacle. Coincidentally, there were multiple 2×2×2 and 1×1×1 pixel shards that were perfect cubes.
 * All mobs created directly by the Orb of Dominance or its shards all seem to have purple/pink colors on them, and some of them seem to have enderman-like eyes.
