The Enslaver is one of the four Elder Guardians, and can be found on any map with the implicit modifier Map is occupied by the Enslaver, where the Enslaver will replace the map boss. The map will have an alternative icon covering the map's symbol. Such maps would also have the implicit modifier Area is influenced by The Elder, which drop enables Elder influenced items.

The Elder will make an appearance in the map boss arena, slay the map boss, and steal its life essence. A portal will then open to the Elder's domain and the players must enter through the portal. The Elder will then empower the Enslaver using the stolen life essence of the map boss, who will hatch from a black egg. Players can then enter combat with the Enslaver.

Defeating the Enslaver will drop the Fragment of EnslavementFragment of EnslavementStack Size: 10Freedom is won, not given.Can be used in a personal Map Device. which is required to fight The Elder.

Fighting Sequence

Each Elder Guardians is fought in one of three stages, each with different hazards. At higher tiers, the boss will change phases, teleporting you to a new area with different stage hazards. On yellow maps, this occurs at 1/2 health, and in red maps, this occurs at 2/3 and 1/3 health.

The Enslaver uses the following attacks:

  • Melee attack
  • Knife toss: Throws knives forward that fan out left or right.
  • Sidestep knife toss: Dashes sideways and throws multiple knives a short distance forward at the ground, which then explode to deal damage.
  • Backstep knife toss: Same as above, but dashes backwards while throwing knives in a line in front of him.
  • Knife barrage: Jumps up and throws many knives at the ground in a cone pattern, then slams down to deal heavy physical damage, which is immediately followed by the knives detonating.
  • Add spawn: Summons Obsidian Golems, which attack with fire projectiles. They can be killed for flask charges.
