Rune Slayer Slime King

All you need to know about the Slime King boss.

How to Beat the Slime King

When the Slime King sends out the Slime Globs, you need to dodge them as quickly as possible so as not to be inflicted with the Poison debuff. Afterwards, watch out for the slime puddles on the ground. Whilst you’re battling against the boss, keep a close eye om the floor!

The Slime King likes to jump into the air and dash forward. Dodge as best as you can so you don’t get absorbed by it – there is no way to get manually!

Ranged classes work best against the Slime King, but that isn’t to say melee classes will struggle too much. Due to its high movement, attacking from a distance is ideal.

Slime King Moves

  • Absorb
    • Charging up, the Slime King quickly dashes forward, absorbing its target (as long as they’re standing in its path)
    • Anyone inside the Slime King takes damage over time and cannot move for a period of time
    • You cannot block or parry this move
  •  Leap
    • The Slime King leaps into the air before falling all the way back down, knocking back all those standing nearby
    • You can block and parry this move
  • Slime Globs
    • The Slime King stops moving before sending out a total of 3 projectiles that inflict its targets with the Poison debuff
    • These projectiles also create puddles of poisonous slime on the ground for a period of time too, so watch out!
    • You can parry this move, but it’s a little difficult to block

Slime King Location

Once you’re at Ali’s Farm in Wayshire, you need to head to the North – keep an eye on the compass at the top of your screen. Eventually, you will find the Slime Cave, with the King Slime boss in front of it.
