Arcane Lineage Boss List

King Slime

King Slime is considered a mini-boss due to its relative ease compared to other bosses in Arcane Lineage. However, it remains a challenge for low-level players. It's worth noting that defeating King Slime does not yield soul points.

King Slime Location

King Slime spawns after 100 Slimes are defeated on the server, appearing around the city closest to the last slain slime. Players are notified via the Quest Board when the King Slime quest is active, which involves two steps:

1. Find the King Slime
2. Kill the King Slime

This quest has a 30-minute global cooldown on the server.

King Slime Fighting Strategy

With a base of 400 HP (600 HP if Corrupted), King Slime's health is the lowest among all bosses. It primarily attacks by summoning more Slimes, which can overwhelm the party if not managed quickly. Additionally, King Slime uses AOE poison attacks, making it advisable to bring potions and cleansing abilities. Its attacks only inflict Poisoned status without direct damage, allowing for a more straightforward battle once the summoned Slimes are dealt with.
