Lady Luck seems to be on our side because this boss is not that hard! This fight requires patience, but remember that this battle is the only thing standing between you and that sweet Double Jump! Pretty lil boy, ain’t he? Defeating the Boss Proceed forward and prepare yourself to fight the Broken Vessel. The Broken Vessel has primarily three moves. With a little patience and some good RNG, you can take him down, no sweat. The first and easiest-to-manage attack that the boss has is his Dash Strike. It is easy to tell when the Broken Vessel is about to execute this because he shakes a little while leaning backwards before dashing towards you.

This can be easily avoided with a jump, and it is also an excellent chance to get in a hit or two. ↑ Snail Shaman: 'You didn't perchance visit my fourth aunt?

The crystals can refract light and also emit a very soft singing sound. They glow in the darkness, and there is a bright point of searing heat inside each of them. The crystals themselves have a strange power hidden within them. Their husks were imprinted with strong purpose, causing them to continue mining even after death. When the Infection took hold, many of the miners died and were subsequently reanimated. Besides regular bug miners who mined the crystals with their claw-picks, creatures such as the Shardmites and Glimbacks were used to carry around carts and machines. The crystal ore contains energy, not as powerful as Soul but less lethal. In Hallownest's prime, Crystal Peak's mines supplied the kingdom's cities with a constant supply of crystals.
