The Reinforced Blaze is one of the new mobs included with Stalwart Dungeons, that can be found in the Nether. They’re required to collect Blaze Armor Scrap, which are used to obtain a complete set of Tungsten Armor.
ABOUT
The Reinforced Blaze can be found at the Awful Dungeon, where they spawn alongside the Incomplete Wither Skeleton and the Awful Ghast. Spawners can be found throughout the dungeon, which will allow them to spawn until they’re broken by the player repeatedly.
In total, they have 20 Health and 15 Armor points. Though, unlike the regular Blaze, they don’t have a fiery ranged attack. Instead, they slowly move towards the player, hitting them with a melee attack that deals with a lot of damage.
Unprepared players might even die to the Reinforced Blaze. Its high amount of armor means they’re tough to defeat, and it deals enough damage to kill a player who isn’t wearing armor in two hits. As the Reinforced Blaze flies around, it’s a good idea to fight them using a Bow and Arrow, as waiting for them to keep returning to melee distance can take some time.
LOOT
Each time the Reinforced Blaze is killed, it typically drops around 2 Blaze Rods and 1 Blaze Armor Scrap. Blaze Rods are essential in Brewing and reaching the End. At the same time, Blaze Armor Scrap is required to create a complete set of Tungsten Armor and the Tungsten Shield.
Creating a complete set of Tungsten Armor requires 8 Blaze Armor Scraps and 8 Tungsten Ingots. If players also wish to craft the Tungsten Shield, an additional 4 Blaze Armor Scraps and 3 Tungsten Ingots are needed.
Tungsten Armor is useful in defeating the Awful Ghast, providing immunity to the Burning and Wither debuffs. Later on, it can be upgraded into Warted Armor, which gives immunity to the Spore debuff while fighting the Nether Keeper.
