What you’ll build
With the Wither's armour up, swap to your Smite swords and drink Strength. Strike and step back, clear any wither skeletons, use the pillars for cover and tag-team with your teammate until the final hit lands.
Finish line: You've beaten the armoured Wither up close with your teammate and the arena is still (mostly) standing.
Bonus challenge: If anyone collected a wither skeleton skull during the fight, save it for your Hall of Legends in Mission 897.
You’ll need
- A Smite sword

You choose

Stuck?
