King Slime
While considered a mini-boss, King Slime shouldn't be underestimated, especially by low-level players. Note that soul points cannot be obtained from this boss.
King Slime Location
King Slime spawns after 100 Slimes are killed on the server. It appears near the city closest to the last slain slime's location, announced on the Quest Board. The quest involves locating and killing King Slime, with a 30-minute global server cooldown.
King Slime Fighting Strategy
King Slime starts with 400 HP (600 HP if Corrupted), the lowest of any boss. Its primary attack is summoning more Slimes, which can overwhelm players. AOE poison attacks necessitate potions and cleansing abilities. Its low health allows for a straightforward battle; focus on eliminating summoned Slimes before attacking King Slime directly. AOE attacks only inflict poison, not direct damage.
