The Dungeon Guardian is an extremely special enemy, resembling the head of the Skeletron.
This led many to believe that the Dungeon Guardian was the Skeletron during the day, but in reality, they just coincidentally look alike.
Summoning a Dungeon Guardian is extremely simple: just enter the dungeon in a world where the Skeletron has not yet been defeated and reach a depth below zero; one or more Dungeon Guardians will quickly spawn.
With incredibly high damage and movement speed, and ignoring all block obstructions, it can be said to be the nightmare of all adventurers.
Any slight mistake will cost the adventurer challenging it their life.
Yang Tao stood in the room at the dungeon entrance, which was very spacious with some skull-shaped jars placed in the corners of the floor; breaking these jars would yield some items necessary for survival.
However, Yang Tao wasn't concerned with these things; instead, he looked strangely at the bookshelf on the wall.
A blue book with yellow stripes caught his eye.
"Water Bolt?"
Each platform in the dungeon has a 50% chance to have a book, and a 2% chance for it to be a Water Bolt.
Under normal circumstances, Water Bolt only spawns in areas below ground, but there is also an extremely rare chance for it to spawn in above-ground areas.
This kind of spawning is extremely rare because it is inherently a bug.
Yang Tao reached out and took the Water Bolt from the platform; if a mage could obtain Water Bolt before the Skeletron, then they would truly rise up.
With 19 points of base damage and piercing ability, Water Bolt is a divine artifact when facing a large number of monsters like those during a Blood Moon or the Eater of Worlds.
"Could it be that my luck has already reached this level? I haven't even drunk lucky soy milk yet..."
Yang Tao smiled and put the Water Bolt into his backpack; although he didn't care for the Water Bolt's damage, it was a symbol of being an ultimate lucky person.
He cleared out everything in the dungeon entrance room.
Looking at the deep dungeon entrance, he didn't hesitate and directly leaped in.
After descending three or four platforms, Yang Tao felt the surrounding environment undergo a slight change.
"It looks like I've reached the boundary between the surface and underground..."
Yang Tao didn't know if the Dungeon Guardian in the real world dealt high damage or was an instant-kill mechanism.
Anyway, dying doesn't cause item loss, so trying it out costs nothing.
He aimed at the platform below and lightly leaped.
The roars of Terraria bosses spawning echoed.
The next moment, a giant spinning skull emerged from the dungeon wall and flew towards him at an extremely fast speed.
"Is that all?"
For ordinary people or adventurers with 400 health, this speed was indeed not slow, but for Yang Tao now, the skull's speed was no different from slow motion.
He took out the Last Sword from his backpack and gently thrust it forward.
-799999987445323
A number longer than a phone number appeared.
Damage immunity 99.99%.
However, even 0.001% of the True Last Sword's damage was more than the Dungeon Guardian could withstand.
The giant skull instantly shattered into pieces on the dungeon floor, and two more Dungeon Guardians emerged from the dungeon walls.
There is only one Skeletron, but Dungeon Guardians can spawn seven, eight, or even more at once.
Yang Tao stood in place holding the True Last Sword, and any Dungeon Guardian that crashed into him instantly died.
'High damage... not an instant-kill mechanism.'
This was good news.
Although Dungeon Guardians do not drop coins, they are guaranteed to drop Bone Keys.
It can summon a Skeletron Head pet, which floats around the adventurer and occasionally rotates its head.
Most importantly, one Skeleton Key is worth 5 gold, and it can also be thrown into a conversion table to exchange for EMC value.
Due to the plunder attribute, a single Dungeon Guardian can drop 6-9 Skeleton Keys.
And killing one Dungeon Guardian will cause a new one to appear.
It truly is a case of big brother not needing to move, while little sister does everything automatically.
"This is a blessed land!"
The problem now was how to create a fully automatic monster farm.
Under normal circumstances, regular Villagers would not be able to withstand the Skeletron's attacks... no, even Bishop-level Iron Golems couldn't withstand it.
Seven or eight Dungeon Guardians would deal at least 20,000 to 30,000 damage per second, after all, a Dungeon Guardian's attack is 1000 per hit, not 1000 per second...
Unless the Villagers were equipped with the abyssal set.
Besides that, Yang Tao had no better solution, because unlike Villagers, other Entities do not have equipment slots; in Minecraft, equipment and weapons are different, you cannot just wear them to gain their attributes.
He also didn't know if the number of Dungeon Guardians was based on the total count or the number of adventurers; if it was based on the number of adventurers, then calling over a hundred or so Villagers to farm Dungeon Guardians... that scene would be truly beautiful.
No sooner said than done.
Yang Tao opened the wooden door and returned to the Overworld, calling over the Villagers who had previously served as the base for the Watch of Flowing Time in the 40k World.
He exchanged two sets of abyssal set from the conversion table and gave them to two Villagers; unlike him, when Villagers equip the abyssal set, it will be displayed on them.
Dark red armor completely enveloped the Villagers' bodies, with gems embedded in the armor.
"Follow me."
He took out two new True · Ultimate Swords and handed them to the two Villagers.
As soon as he returned to the Terraria dungeon, he heard the roars of bosses refreshing.
This time, the roars were even more intense.
In an instant, more than ten Dungeon Guardians burst out from the dungeon walls; seeing such a scene, Yang Tao finally broke into a brilliant smile.
"It's calculated individually..."
...
The dungeon had never been so lively since its construction; the once deep and silent dungeon was now brightly lit.
Groups of Villagers wearing abyssal sets and wielding True · Ultimate Swords were clearing out the monsters in the dungeon and the automatically spawning Dungeon Guardians.
Countless monsters fell to the ground every minute.
Thump thump... thump thump...
Constant knocking sounds came from deep within the dungeon; Yang Tao was renovating the dungeon, turning it into the best monster farm.
"Phew, there are so many traps in this dungeon... and there's even a monster spawn limit, which is a bit of a scam."
In the game, Terraria can have a maximum of 200 Entities simultaneously.
The same applies in reality, but the good news is that it's region-based; as long as they are not in the same region, the Entity count can be recalculated.
Yang Tao took out a sign from his backpack and pasted it on the wall.
[Spawn Area 17]
[Spawn Area 16 →]
[Spawn Area 18 ←]
[Exit ♦]
A newly spawned Angry Bones, bare-handed, charged towards him with cheerful steps.
His clothes were tattered, revealing much.
Before Yang Tao could act, a Villager shouted: 'This evil is worth a fight!'
Then, he swung the True Last Sword and rushed forward, instantly killing it!
The Angry Bones was easily dealt with as soon as it appeared, dropping a large amount of bones. There were also a Clothier Voodoo Doll, an Ancient Necro Helmet, a Gold Key, a Counter...
In one go, this Angry Bones was completely drained of its possessions.
'It's also contributing to my great cause!'
Yang Tao mourned for the deceased Angry Bones for 0.01 seconds before heading to the next area.
