In [b]Hollow Mine[/b] he was summoned by evil forces as one of the bosses that could be found in [b]Mine biome[/b]. [b]Boruta[/b] is known for his quick sabre melee attacks up close - It's better to avoid close confrontations with him. He has ability to create pentagram portals that can summon plenty [b]Black Goblins[/b] with ability to steal your gold and to surprise you with wave of red ball projectiles on death - it would be wise to focus on these goblins first to not get overwhelmed. Besides Boruta can fire circle of red ball projectiles of his own, the way of casting that spell looks similar to creating pentagram portal. Fighting him could be a challenge, but to make the fight more in your favor do following preparations: [list] [*] Craft range based weapons like bows and using it with triple shot ability should be enough. [*] To further increase your chances collect specific herbs and create dexterity potions to boost your damage and attack speed with range weapons. [*] Using spells should also work, remember to use power potions to boost spell damage instead. [/list] Alternatively when fighting him up close with melee weapons, bring with you ice ball spell to freeze the Boruta and immobilise him, that should give you an opening to strike up close with your sword or axe. For any scenario remember having additional health potion would be helpful. If you keep struggling you can also consider using spawning tower scroll to create a structure that will help you in battle or throw some bombs at him to get some quick advantage.
