The Grand High Witch was the first boss added to Islands. It could be fought during the Halloween 2020 event on the now-removed Witch Island. Unlike other mobs, the Grand High Witch had to be defeated in different phases.
Behavior[]
The Grand High Witch has 4 phases, the player needs to defeat all the mobs summoned to progress. The witch will change her appearance during every phase.
Phase 1[]
The witch will summon 3 skeletons.
Phase 2[]
The witch will summon 3 skeletons and 2 pumps.
Phase 3[]
The witch will start to fly in the air. She will summon 3 skeletons, 2 armored skeletons, and 2 pumps.
Phase 4[]
The witch will start throwing the Formula 86 splash potion at the player. The splash potions inflict the Polymorph effect, which morphs the player into a mouse for 3 seconds. She will summon 3 skeletons, 2 armored skeletons, 2 pumps, and 2 pump kings.
Defeat[]
When all of the mobs summoned during phase 4 are killed, the witch will become dizzy and the player is required to throw a formula 86 potion to finish her off.
