Forgotten Phantom Keep

Quickstart

1. In survival, explore Plains or Snowy Plains for the ruined keep. To find a location by command, try /locate structure ruined_castle; the keep generates as you approach.
2. Search the broken outer walls and tower for chests with iron weapons and armor. Find the shaft leading down to the underground vault.
3. Be ready for a fight before interacting with a chest near the Phantom—the interaction awakens it and won’t open that chest. Defeat it, then loot the vault chest and collect the Dark Scythe it drops.
4. In creative mode, find the Dark Scythe in the Forgotten Phantom Keep tab. Hold it and use its secondary action at full health to unleash its shockwave.

Overview

The keep is a ruined stone tower surrounded by broken walls, with an underground vault lit by soul fire. The Forgotten Phantom waits dormant below. Opening a nearby chest awakens the boss and begins the fight.

What It Adds

• A ruined keep that can generate in Plains and Snowy Plains.
• The Forgotten Phantom, a flying boss with a boss health bar.
• Iron equipment in the keep’s outer chests and enchanted diamond gear in the vault.
• The Dark Scythe, a weapon and area attack.

How To Use

Explore the tower and its perimeter for the iron gear, then locate the opening and ladder leading down toward the vault. The boss is in the cavern below.

Interacting with a chest within 18 blocks of the boss, at roughly the same height, awakens it. The interaction is consumed, so defeat the Phantom before trying that chest again.

You can also locate the nearest eligible keep with /locate structure ruined_castle or /locate structure forgotten-phantom-keep-gzqri7ca:ruined_castle. The command reports coordinates; the structure appears as you approach.

Crafting And Obtaining

The mod does not provide a crafting recipe for the Dark Scythe. Defeat the awakened Forgotten Phantom to make it drop the Scythe and 200 experience. In creative mode, the Scythe is available in the mod’s creative tab.

Outer chests contain iron weapons and armor. The vault chest holds an enchanted diamond sword and a full set of enchanted diamond armor.

Abilities And Mechanics

The Forgotten Phantom has 200 health. Once awakened, it pursues nearby players and attacks in two ways:

• At a distance, it launches blue fireballs that deal damage and set targets alight.
• Up close, it releases a soul-flame shockwave that can hit players around it.

Direct player attacks do not damage it from within 6 blocks. Use ranged attacks to fight from farther away, and watch for the close-range shockwave.

The Dark Scythe adds 8 attack damage and reduces attack speed by 3 while held in the main hand. At full health, use its secondary action to damage living creatures within 5 blocks for 22 damage. The ability has a 30-second cooldown and won’t activate unless you’re at full health.

Progression And Strategy

Loot the outer chests and equip the iron gear before descending. Keep your health topped up before using the Scythe’s ability, and give the Phantom space to avoid its close-range blast. After the fight, open the vault chest for its enchanted gear and pick up the dropped Scythe.
