Beat a piglin brute using high ground, a bow and teamwork.

Brutes ignore gold. They carry axes. And they never stop chasing. Time to out-think one before you meet it.

What you’ll build

Plan your battle ground, then build a high ledge with cover well away from the bastion. Lure a single brute over, shoot from above while your teammate covers you, heal behind the wall when needed and keep score of every arrow.

Finish line: You've beaten a piglin brute with a plan that worked and a hit count for next time.

Bonus challenge: Map every brute still in the bastion and give each a threat level from 1 to 5. Which one has to go before the loot run?

You’ll need

  • A bow and lots of arrows
  • A sword
  • Food
  • Blocks
  • A family member or friend

You choose

  • The brute's nickname
  • Battle ground: high ledge or one-wide doorway
  • My bet: arrows to win

Stuck?

  • Fight one brute at a time. Lure it away from the others before you start shooting.
  • Brutes hit very hard. Duck behind your wall to eat as soon as your health drops.
  • Make the ledge at least a few blocks high so the brute can't reach you.
