The '''wretched wraith''' is the [[MCD:Undead|undead]] [[MCD:Wraith|wraith]] [[MCD:Boss|boss]] [[MCD:Mob|variant]] fought in the {{MCD|Lone Fortress}} {{MCD|mission}} of ''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]''. It is the boss of the {{MCD|Creeping Winter}} [[MCD:Downloadable Content|DLC]].

== Lore ==
{{SpoilerWarning|section|''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]''}}
After the [[MCD:Obsidian Pinnacle|shattering of the Orb of Dominance]], one of the shards of the [[MCD:Orb of Dominance|Orb]] landed into a [[MCD:Lone Fortress|lonely fortress]] on one of "the [[MCD:Island Realms|island realms]] of the [[Overworld]]",<ref name="frosted">Mojang, ''[[Featured Mission: Frosted Fjord]]'', [[MCD:Nintendo Switch News|Nintendo Switch News]] (Posted under ''Minecraft Dungeons''), September 5, 2023</ref> where it was found by a wraith that dwelled within the grand chamber "where unknown royalty<ref>This royal was possibly the wretched wraith</ref> entertained their guests" in some distant past.<ref name="fortress">Mojang, ''[[Featured Mission: Lone Fortress]]'', [[MCD:Nintendo Switch News|Nintendo Switch News]] (Posted under ''Minecraft Dungeons''), February 23, 2023</ref> Despite screaming with a furious rage at the agony that the shard causes it, the wraith adorns the shard into the icy crown which it fiercely guards.<ref name="fortress"/>

As a result of the shard's corruption, the wraith became known as the wretched wraith and the weather was corrupted to plunge the once bountiful island into an "eternal winter" where snow and ice overwhelmed many settlements, forcing the residents to abandon their homes. Many traders that visited the island before have reported that they witnessed the shard fall among the fortress walls with some traders suspecting that it was even responsible for the corrupted weather.<ref name="frosted"/> It is possible that the heroes first learned of the shard's corruption from these reports.

Upon reaching the grand chamber of the [[MCD:Lone Fortress|lone fortress]], the heroes come across an icy crown with the shard on a pedestal. Attempting to take it causes the wretched wraith to rise up and grab the crown. It then tries to fend off the heroes. Once the heroes manage to "wrestle the crown" away from the wretched wraith's hard grasp and destroy the shard, the wretched wraith picks it up and shakes it before screaming as a beam of light shines upon it, freeing it from the agony that the shard had put it through. The icy crown then falls to the ground and cannot be interacted with. The heroes then leave the fortress, as the island could now recover and experience a new summer.<ref name="fortress"/>

* {{DuLevelLink|Lone Fortress}} ([[MCD:Boss|Boss]])
* {{DuLevelLink|Tower}} ([[MCD:Boss|Boss]])

== Behavior ==
The wretched wraith has five different behaviors. In between them, it randomly hovers and teleports around the arena.

;Basic attack
The wretched wraith uses its melee attack to knock the hero back, then it teleports away.

;Ghostfire
The wretched wraith moves one of its arms and simply fires a fast-moving icy projectile toward the hero.

;Row projectile attack
The wretched wraith teleports to one side of the arena, and then fires a barrage of slow-moving projectiles in the following pattern, which are centered on the hero:
* Fires two continuous lines of projectiles from its sides in a cone-shape, as well as a sparse line in the middle.
* Fires a continuous but mildly sparse spread of projectiles.

;Vulnerable stun
The wretched wraith may become stunned for five seconds after taking damage and does not move or attack. Its defense is also reduced by 60% during this.

;Summon minions
The wretched wraith summons either two [[MCD:Stray|strays]] and one [[MCD:Wraith|wraith]] or one [[MCD:Wraith|wraith]], one [[MCD:Stray|stray]], one [[MCD:Icy Creeper|icy creeper]] and one [[MCD:Frozen Zombie|frozen zombie]].

== Health ==
The Wretched Wraith has 11,000 HP in the code. On Default I, all mobs have 9.6% health and 12% damage of what is set in the code. This is the second health of all bosses than the Redstone Monstrosity.
