Minecraft Dungeons:Redstone Monstrosity

The Redstone Monstrosity is the boss variant of the Redstone Golem. It appears in the Fiery Forge as the final boss, created by overloading all of the Redstone Cores.

Story
After The Arch-Illager realizes that heroes like Karl can destroy the Redstone Golems quite easily, he decides to create something even stronger that no hero could destroy, which is the Redstone Monstrosity. After it is created it assists Archie such as carrying him over long distances, When the Illagers go to raid Squid Coast, the Redstone Monstrosity is ordered to chase after Smacker. It is unknown if the Redstone Monstrosity kills him or just run away from the island. When the heroes arrive in the Fiery Forge, the Arch-Illager summons the Monstrosity. Eventually, the heroes defeat the Redstone Monstrosity and is never seen again. The heroes take its head and hang it over the fireplace.

Appearance
The Redstone Monstrosity appears to be a hulking, mechanical entity made of stone and redstone patches. It appears to have multiple cracks within the body and red outlines within its torso. It has three glowing yellow eyes with the third one on its forehead and a red jaw. It possesses two large horns on its head. The Mooshroom Monstrosity and Redstone Golem are variants of this entity. It is about 5.4 blocks tall (7.2 blocks tall in the 1.6.0.0 trailer update).

Behavior
The Redstone Monstrosity has three attacks. While not attacking, it slowly walks toward the player. It is the second slowest mob in the game, after the Jungle Abomination.

The Redstone Monstrosity smashes both of its fists on the ground, creating a large 4-block shockwave that deals knockback and deals very heavy damage to any entities in its radius. This attack is the one used most often when a player gets in range.
 * Monstrosity Smash

The Redstone Monstrosity touches the ground with both fists as the redstone on its body glows. 12 fissures form around the boss, each spawning a Redstone Cube that attacks the player. This attack occurs every 20 seconds.
 * Monstrosity Fissures

The Redstone Monstrosity leans back and spits out 8 small fireballs from its mouth. When a fireball touches the ground, it explodes in a small radius and deals massive damage to the player. This attack is used mostly when there are no players close to the Monstrosity, and is more powerful than its melee attack (30%x8=240% range total damage vs 100% melee damage).

Tips
NOTE: Lightning rod and Harvester require souls, so save up souls before the fight 
 * Due to the boss spawning Redstone Cubes quite often, enchantments like, and  as well as artifacts such as ,  and  are good for crowd control.
 * As always with bosses, enchantments like, and artifacts like  and  can deal lots of damage in a very short time, draining the boss's health
 * Because the Monstrosity moves so slow, weapons with huge area and damage (but with less speed) work a treat
 * on a fast melee weapon (or on a ranged weapon}} is good for healing yourself quickly when at low health.  will not be as helpful, as you won't be killing enemies often for it to actually work well
 * and  are good enchantments have on armor, as well as  - If the Monstrosity hits you, you need to reduce that damage or heal very quickly
 * Do  NOT  use the redstone cores. They will only get in the way, and the monstrosity doesn't take any notice of them. It will probably even be a bit of a nuisance to you
 * The boss is very slow, but very strong, so enchantments like (melee),  (ranged) and  (armor) can slow the Redstone Monstrosity to a halt, for you to deal huge amounts of damage before even trying to hurt you.
 * Weapons like, or , as well as  or , with  or  can provide heavy damage and heavy protection to help deal with the monstrosity
 * remember to have fun! :)

Trivia

 * In the official artwork for Dungeons, the Arch-Illager is sitting on its shoulder. However, the Arch-Illager is not part of the boss fight, nor is the monstrosity a part of the Arch-Illager fight.
 * On online, the Boss's HP increases by 33.33% (as well as increases damage by 17.53%) when another player plays someone's game. This means that the boss's HP increases from 100% to 200% (and damage from 100% to 150%) when there are 4 players in multiplayer.
 * This is also applied to some other mobs.
 * In the Minecraft Livestream, the redstone on the monstrosity's back doesn't seem to be glowing at all while the one in the game is glowing bright orange, red, or almost pure white.
 * After defeating the Redstone Monstrosity, its head appears mounted on the mantle over the fireplace in the house in Camp.
 * Before the release of Minecraft Dungeons, the trailer features some Redstone Monstrosities that were going to be added in Creeper Woods and Redstone Mines; however, they can be found only in the Fiery Forge after the full release.
 * When defeated, the Redstone Monstrosity always faces south.
 * The 1.6.0.0 update features a video about the Arch-Illager spawning (or teleporting) a Redstone Monstrosity out of the arena which contains Redstone Cores which is impossible in the gameplay because there is no way to get the Redstone Monstrosity out of the arena because the gates block it and the lowest gaps between one of the gate are a bit too high (1.5 blocks tall).
