Crimson Shogun

Quickstart

2. Place it on the ground to summon the Crimson Shogun — or use the command /summon com_crimson_shogun_eb4yh3hu:crimson_shogun.
3. Watch the boss bar appear at the top of your screen. The Shogun will immediately target you.
4. Come heavily armed — this boss has 22,000,000 HP. Bring your best gear, ranged weapons, and plenty of supplies before engaging.

Overview

The Crimson Shogun is a fearsome samurai boss mob that you summon and fight on your own terms. It features a custom samurai appearance with full animations, a dedicated boss health bar visible within 64 blocks, and sky-darkening effects when present. It fights with aggressive melee AI, punishing critical strikes, and the ability to heal itself periodically — making it one of the most demanding combat challenges you can face.

Abilities And Mechanics

Melee Attacks

The Crimson Shogun charges at its targets and attacks in melee, dealing 40 damage per hit — five times the force of a standard vindicator. It sprints toward you at high speed when attacking.

Critical Strikes

Every 5th successful hit the Shogun lands triggers a critical strike. Critical hits deal an additional 160 bonus damage on top of the base 40, for a total of 200 damage per critical hit. A critical hit is announced with a particle burst and a loud clang sound. At full damage with no resistance or armor, a single critical hit can kill even highly geared players instantly — stay alert for the pattern.

Periodic Regeneration

Once every 5 minutes, the Crimson Shogun gains Regeneration IV for 30 seconds, visible as totem-like particles swirling around it. During this window it heals rapidly. Plan your burst damage phases around this cooldown — if you cannot pour out enough damage to overcome the regeneration, consider timing your hardest attacks just before or just after the regen pulse.

Target Priority

The Shogun targets players, iron golems, snow golems, and villagers within 64 blocks. It will not attack other illager-type mobs. It can break doors and path over water to reach its targets.

Experience Reward

Killing the Crimson Shogun awards 500 XP if the killing blow is dealt by a player.

Progression And Strategy

Recommended preparation:

• Wear the best armor you have, ideally enchanted with Protection and high durability.
• Bring ranged weapons (bows, crossbows, tridents) to deal damage from a safe distance and avoid the critical-hit pattern.
• Stock up on golden apples, totems of undying, and strength/resistance potions.
• Keep a distance of more than 5 blocks whenever possible — since criticals fire every 5 hits, denying the Shogun hits also denies its most lethal attacks.

Managing Regeneration:

• Watch for the totem particle effect — this signals the start of a 30-second regen window.
• If your DPS cannot outpace Regeneration IV, pull back and wait out the 30-second regen window, then resume your assault.
• High burst damage (charge attacks, critical arrows, power enchantments) is more valuable here than sustained low damage.

Crowd Control:

• The Shogun can be pushed by pistons and other entities, though it is highly mobile.
• Positioning it in terrain that limits its pathing can give you windows to attack safely.
• Iron golems can serve as meat shields to absorb hits and give you time to breathe — the Shogun will target them, diverting attention from you.

Loot Value: The nether star drop alone makes this fight extremely rewarding. The enchanted diamond sword and bulk diamonds and emeralds provide strong economic returns for players willing to prepare thoroughly.
