Core Keeper is a game that lets players explore a fantastic world of different biomes, each with its unique enemies and bosses. In these areas, you can find armor, weapons, and more items that can help make the trek to the Core just a bit easier. The first biome in the game is the Dirt biome. When just starting, even this area can seem to be a hazardous place.
The first boss of the game, Glurch the Abominous Mass, is the boss of this biome, and getting ready to defeat the first boss of any game is always a little scary. Luckily, he’s not too bad to defeat if you prepare for it. Here what you need to know to beat Glurch the Abominous Mass.
Defeating Glurch the Abominous Mass
To defeat Glurch the Abominous Mass, obtain Copper Armor and Copper Sword or Slingshot and Bow first. Find Glurch the Abominous Mass by listening closely for his bouncing while in the Dirt Biome. Once you find Glurch, he will drop the Glurch Eye, Slime Oil, and some Slime. For step-by-step instructions, read here:
Preparing for Glurch
First, players will need to ensure that they are ready for the fight with Glurch, as being prepared will make it a lot easier. Of course, if you live for a challenge, you can always skip this step and rush in, but be warned, it will not be an easy battle.
To get ready to fight Glurch the Abominous Mass, you should first make sure you have mined enough copper to give yourself a full set of Copper Armor, as well as a Copper Sword for melee fighters, or, a Slingshot or Bow and Arrow for ranged players.
Finding Glurch
Travel With this armor and weapon equipped, it’s time to track down the Abomination. Thankfully, finding him isn’t too hard. Travel through the cave systems and listen carefully, as his bouncing up and down is loud, and players can follow the sound to locate him.
Fighting Glurch the Abominous Mass
First, you will want to clear the area out a bit around Glurch, just to make room to move around to make the fight easier. Do not worry, he will not aggro unless you get very close to him.
Next, clear out all the sticky slime from the floor, as this can make it harder to avoid his attacks because the slime slows the player’s movement speed.
Once the area is clear and you are ready, go ahead and smack Glurch to start the boss fight. He will begin bouncing towards you – just like the smaller slimes in the game do – only if he hits you, it will hurt a lot more. Make sure to stock up on Mushrooms and Heart Berries if you need to heal in the heat of battle.
To defeat Glurch, kite him around the room, dodging his bounces and smacking him a few times each time he lands before kiting him again. This fight is not too hard once you get the timing down, but it can be even easier for ranged players, who just need to concentrate on kiting him.
Glurch the Abominous Mass Rewards
Once you defeat Glurch, he will drop a Glurch Chest, which contains the following items:
- Glurch Eye: Used to power the Core.
- Slime Oil: A jar filled with slime essence and used for beard care.
- Slime: Crafting material.
Now you can revel in the fact you’ve beat Core Keeper’s first major boss, Glurch the Abominous Mass.
