How to Find the Decaying King in Prominence 2

The Decaying King is one of the challenging bosses you’ll encounter in the Prominence 2 mod. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to locate and defeat this formidable opponent, including what items to craft, what to expect in combat, and what rewards await you.

Boss Location and Biome

The Decaying King resides in the Nether, specifically within a biome called the Decaying Kingdom. This biome is home to a massive structure that serves as the boss’s throne room. Locating this biome can be challenging without the proper tools, so preparation is essential.

Crafting the Moon Stone Compass

To locate the Decaying Kingdom biome, you’ll need to craft a Moon Stone Compass. This is a straightforward recipe that requires a normal compass surrounded by Moon Stone blocks.

Moon Stone is an ore that can be found underground at approximately the same depth as diamond ore. Once you’ve gathered enough Moon Stone and have a compass, you can craft the Moon Stone Compass to guide you to the biome.

Boss Stats and Combat Information

The Decaying King is a Level 10 boss, which means he’s moderately challenging but not the most difficult encounter you’ll face. However, don’t underestimate him—he’s better suited for melee-focused fighters and comes equipped with a Dark Emprained weapon that deals significant damage.

The Dark Emprained weapon wielded by the Decaying King features really deadly attacks, so prepare your defenses accordingly and bring healing items to your fight.

Boss Drops and Loot

Defeating the Decaying King will reward you with several specific items:

Lord’s Soul — A unique drop from this boss

Dark Emprained — The weapon itself (approximately 10 damage), which can roll with different rarity tiers (Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Withered)

Withered Demon Heart — An important item for respawning the boss

Note that the Dark Emprained weapon can roll with various stat combinations, so you may get different versions with uncommon, common, rare, or withered variants.

Respawning the Decaying King

If you want to fight the Decaying King again after your initial victory, you’ll need to gather specific items to respawn him. You have two options for one of the key ingredients:

Required Respawn Items

Withered Demon Heart OR Demonite Chunk — Choose one of these

Black Stone Pedestal — Required for the respawn ritual

Obtaining Demonite Chunks

Demonite Chunks are created by smelting Demon Hearts in a furnace. Demon Hearts themselves drop from Withered Demons, so you’ll need to hunt these creatures to gather the materials needed for respawning.

Crafting the Black Stone Pedestal

The Black Stone Pedestal is easy to craft and primarily requires Moon Stone as its main ingredient. This makes it relatively accessible once you’ve gathered Moon Stone ore from underground.

Summary

Finding and defeating the Decaying King in Prominence 2 involves several steps: crafting a Moon Stone Compass to locate the Decaying Kingdom biome in the Nether, preparing for a Level 10 melee-focused boss fight, and collecting the useful drops for future respawns. With the right preparation and equipment, you’ll be ready to challenge this impressive boss and claim your rewards.
