Malugaz the Corrupted is an early-game boss found within the Forgotten Ruins.
Defeating Malugaz drops the Stolen Crystal Heart, an item required for progression.
Summoning[]
Malugaz, unlike most bosses, is not spawned upon world generation. The player must find the Caveling Throne Room scene, which generates approximately 300 tiles from The Core in the Forgotten Ruins.
A Malugaz the Corrupted Scanner can be used to reveal the room's location on the map.
The room is surrounded by a large dungeon filled with Cavelings that the player must traverse through, since its walls are too strong to break early-game.
Once the room is located, Malugaz can be summoned by placing a Skull of the Corrupted Shaman on the rune in the center of it.
Behavior[]
Malugaz is a two-phase boss. He must be fought in the Throne Room that he spawns in for both phases or he will teleport back to the room and regenerate any lost health. He will attack any players that stand near the entrance and attacking him while he is outside will begin regenerating his health.
First form[]
During the first phase Malugaz will alternate between two attacks. Malugaz will throw 2-3 fireballs at a player, then he will either teleport or summon a 3×3 lingering fire area of effect around the arena. His fireballs will destroy walls and furniture, but not flooring.
Second form[]
When Malugaz is brought to zero health he will enter his second phase, ripping off his cloak and hood then re-ignite himself and the ground and regaining full health. He will continue teleporting around the arena, but for this phase he chooses to launch himself forward and fight close combat. His melee attacks leaves the same 3×3 fire tiles as before and his attacks also have a slight area-of-effect range when landing. His attacks will destroy walls, furniture, and tiles. Ranged players are to be advised that he is very dangerous during this phase, if you pull aggro focus on dodging and not attacking.
If all players die during the second phase, Malugaz will revert back to his first form.

Notes[]
- Watering cans can extinguish the fire on the ground, which can be helpful in co-op situations.
Tips[]
- Malugaz is a deceptively hard boss, as he constantly causes large areas of the floor in the arena to catch fire, which is difficult to avoid and causes a lingering burning effect. The size of the arena also makes it difficult to maneuver, and the arena cannot be altered.
- Melee is not recommended, especially during the second phase. Range attacks are best, but it helps to bring a weapon that fires quickly, or he will teleport out of the way of many shots.
Trivia[]
- According to a post on the official twitter, "He is a collector of rare and valuable items and isn't above stealing from other creatures living in the underground!"
