Minecraft Dungeons

The Totem of Shielding can protect you from a Shulker hit as well. I did not have this at my disposal, so utilizing it will make your run much easier.

It is also possible to join an offline game when the other player has already reached the boss and unlock this. If all else fails, try this!



When you reach the second or third area of the level, you will start to see Shulkers pop up. These early ones are needed to open a few of the doors, so they will respawn if you kill them. The shots the Shulkers fire behave more predictably than in Minecraft, and follow straighter lines. They will still follow you, but can be avoided or kited around. The Totem will save you from a hit, and the shots can be stopped or destroyed by melee, ranged, or artifact damage. You will know you’ve been hit because you will freeze in place and levitate for a few seconds. Move forward slowly and let your Totem recharge. You can also use the Shadow Shifter to sneak when entering new areas. Shulkers can be killed, but they will reflect ranged damage when they close. Either wait for them to open or use melee.

Once you’ve flown to the Citadel, they appear more frequently and in less obvious places. Be careful advancing, because occasionally a shot was able to hit me through a single block thickness wall. The biggest threat are the Snarelings, because their spit acts like a spiderweb and can trap you in place.

Once you reach the “Battle Across the Bridge” you should be safe and clear. In five runs of the map, I’ve never had a Shulker spawn on or after the Bridge. Once you defeat the boss, that sweet 20g will pop if you took no hits.

It should go without saying, but ignore all the side areas when going for this. Just more chances to get hit.

If you have an extra controller you can get this achievement with no effort at all. It doesn’t matter if you get hit by a Shulker.

You must start up an offline game. Then proceed through the Broken Citadel level until the objective changes to “Open the Gate.” After using the blue key to unlock the gate, get on the bridge and you can safely connect your second controller (press Back on main, then left-stick on the second controller). Defeat the boss and as you’re traveling back to camp the achievement unlocks.

I just got this in an online game with one friend after getting hit MANY MANY times. I had him hosting the game on apoc +1. We were going to try to stay back but I got stuck and hit by the very first shulker. We just had him stay back and do nothing while I ran the rest of the level by myself and killed the boss while he just waited. I had him warp to me and then I quit out. On the main screen it said reconnect which I didn't like because I wanted it to not remember I was in his game with getting hit. I started a new online game and then just quit out when I loaded into town. I then joined him again and we clicked the exit and we both got the achievement.
