Two new dangerous mobs have arrived in Minecraft in the Tricky Trials update. In this guide, I will explain what the Breeze and Bogged Minecraft mobs are and give tips for defeating each of them.
How to beat the Breeze mob in Minecraft
Since the Breeze is immune to projectiles, you’ll have to fight it up close and personal. As with most mobs, a shield is a good idea. It won’t prevent you from taking a knock, but it will prevent you from taking too much damage from the Wind Charges.
Knowing that you can run and jump over Breeze’s fired Wind Charges is even more important than a shield. I find it easiest to wait for the Breeze to attack, then run and jump over the charge. Continue straight for the Breeze and attack it as fast as possible.
The Breeze will probably jump off before you finish it. Keep charging forward, avoiding its Wind Charges, and attacking it directly to finish it off.
What is the Breeze in Minecraft?
The Breeze is basically a wind-based version of the Blaze mob. It will only spawn from Breeze Trial Spawners found in any Trial Chambers structure.
While the Fire sets enemies on fire, the Breeze has a counter effect. It attacks players from a distance by throwing Wind Charges at them. If the Wind Charges hit, they deal damage by creating a gust of wind that knocks players away. Additionally, attacks that hit blocks will create a similar gust of wind in the area next to the block.
Breezes can launch themselves up to 15 blocks in the air. They do this by compressing themselves like a spring, then bouncing into the air. They often do this to get around you, making it harder for them to focus on a crowd.
What makes them even more difficult is that they are immune to both fall damage and projectiles. With these strengths in mind, I’ll give you some tips to overcome them.
How to beat the Bogged mob in Minecraft
Since the Bogged are a ranged mob, you’ll need to use a shield to block their shots. I also recommend carrying a bucket of milk in case you get poisoned.
If you have a bow or crossbow, I recommend starting by attacking from a distance. If you catch them off guard, you can do some decent damage before they hit back. As a bonus, attacking Bogged this way makes it more likely for those in groups to accidentally shoot their buddies. As skeletons, they can be turned against each other if their arrows hit another Bogged.
After taking down a few, hit the rest with a a sword enchanted with Smite. Weapons with the Smite enchantment will deal extra damage to Bogged as they are considered Undead Mobs.
If you get overwhelmed, bring a Splash Potion of Healing. It will damage the Bogged while healing you. The hardest part is positioning yourself next to them to maximize the damage/healing effects.
What is Bogged in Minecraft?
The Bogged is a new variant of Skeleton only found in Swamps and Mangrove Swamps, typically spawning in groups of 1 to 4. They can also be found in Trial Chambers with varied enemies Trial Spawners. They attack slower than regular Skeletons but shoot Poison-Tipped Arrows instead of regular ones. Like all Undead Mobs, they are damaged by sunlight.
