The Nameless One, also known as the Necromancer, is a boss variant of the necromancer in Minecraft Dungeons. It wields a staff that allows it to summon the Undead. It is found in the Desert Temple.
Appearance
The Nameless One is a large skeleton. It wears a metal crown over a hood and a metal belt. It has glowing lime green eyes and has a cloak with green translucent smoke coming out from underneath it, as it has no legs. Its ribcage goes over a robe which is remarkably similar to that of a witch.
Behavior
When the player first sees the Nameless One, it is asleep, along with a few other sleeping skeleton vanguard. However, when the heroes attempt to grab its staff, they'll be all awaken and attempt to fend the heroes off. Once it is defeated, the heroes are free to take the staff.
Attack Patterns
The Necromancer has three attacks. When not attacking, it will hover away from the player and teleport.
- Projectiles
The Necromancer fires large, slow-moving green projectiles towards a hero's current location. Deals heavy damage if it hits. It is used five times in a row and is its most common attack.
- Summons Skeleton Vanguard
After a charging animation, the Nameless One summons a wall of seven skeleton vanguard between itself and the heroes. Used more sparsely.
- Creating Mirror Images
After a charging animation, the Nameless One creates from one to seven mirror images of itself to confuse the heroes. If there is only one, both will behave similar to the Nameless One's normal attack pattern, but without creating further clones. If there are at least 3, both the Nameless One and its clones will teleport to form a circle around the player and continually fire energy blasts at them. The clones can not be attacked, and only disappear when the real Necromancer is attacked.
