Goblin King Boss Guide - Goblin Caves

The Goblin King is the capstone of the Goblin Caves arc — the zone whose music bank (Goblin Caves Music.bank) and map fragment set both mark as a distinct dungeon region.

The encounter

The Goblin Caves area is authored as a boss space: HallOfTheGoblinKing environment art, a BossStage/BossInvulnerability phase layer, and an EnvironmentBossCamera cinematic rig. His troops — GoblinRipper, GoblinFlaskrat, GoblinBasher (with a T2 empowered variant in the atlas data) — use the shared goblin combat AI with swarm routines.

Preparation

• Bring condition cleanses: goblin-flask variants apply stacking effects (StackingEffect table).
• Check his defence icons (MonsterDefences) before the pull — goblin royalty telegraphs resistances.
• Co-op scales him up via MultiplayerDamageScaling; duo is the intended comfort clear.

Trophies

The atlas data shows trophy furniture rewards: GoblinKingTrophy is a placeable build item, confirming a kill reward line.

Data notes

Exact HP/damage values are balance data and shift with patches. This guide covers the mechanics themselves; verify numbers in-game after updates.
