Minecraft Dungeons:Arena Battle

For the mobs that spawn during boss fights, see MCD:Boss Summons.

For the battle similar to Arena Battles, see MCD:Boss Battle.

An arena battle, also known as an ambush for short, is a battle between mobs and heroes.

Locations

Arena battles occur in every location in the game except for ???. Some locations have boss ambushes which spawn minibosses. Those locations include:

• Creeper Woods (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Woodland Mansion
• Woodland Prison
• Soggy Swamp (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Spider Cave
• Pumpkin Pastures
• Redstone Mines
• Cacti Canyon (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Desert Temple (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Highblock Halls (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Frosted Fjord
• Lost Settlement
• Gauntlet of Gales
• Colossal Rampart
• Gold Room
• Basalt Deltas
• Nether Fortress
• Crimson Forest
• Coral Rise
• Abyssal Monument
• Radiant Ravine
• The Stronghold
• End Wilds
• Broken Citadel
• Tower
• Treetop Tangle

The Treetop Tangle is the only mission to have an ambush which spawnes a boss.

Behavior

Arena battles operate differently from boss fights, where arena battles spawn a lot more weaker mobs than sometimes a boss. The battle format also differs from boss fights, where it usually spawns in waves, such as the one in the Pumpkin Pastures. The battles usually start out with several weak mobs. Over time, the waves of mobs get stronger until the battle ends, or when the boss appears. No matter what, battles always spawn mobs from the mission it takes place in.

There are also similarities between arena battles and boss fights. They are both triggered by certain events like heroes entering an arena, such as the Redstone Mines battle, or by pressing a trigger, such as the bell in the Pumpkin Pastures. Some other triggers include buttons, levers, and pillars.

There is a chance for these ambushes to have mini bosses. There are nine missions where ambushes spawn two minibosses: the Woodland Mansion, the Pumpkin Pastures (Only with Echoing Void DLC), the Desert Temple (Only with Echoing Void DLC), the Basalt Deltas, the Crimson Forest, the Abyssal Monument, The Stronghold, the End Wilds and the Broken Citadel. So far, it isn't possible to have arena battles that spawn three bosses, but in the Radiant Ravine there is an arena battle that spawns four of them. Another similarity between arena battles and boss fights is that they have their own special music. They can also both be started by the Arch-Illager, the Jungle Abomination, the Wretched Wraith, the Tempest Golem, the Ancient Guardian and the Vengeful Heart of Ender. Each of them have their own summoning animation. The Arch-Illager teleports in, summons an ambush, and then teleports out. The jungle abomination, wretched wraith, tempest golem and ancient guardian just roar to summon an ambush, producing their own effects while doing so.

Battles are also usually announced by the game, such as boss fights. When arena battles end, they usually spawn chests that contain loot, whereas when boss fights end, their loot drops directly from the boss' corpse.
