How to Defeat Dungeon Bosses?

[samiamuc]

What items/weapons do I need to have to defeat guys like the cave troll or the cyclops or others? I'm using a troll club and only taking out about 1/2 a heart per blow. He takes one blow and I'm dead.

use a range weapon, or just skip them

Make some lava, they won't pass it. Then use ranged weapon to make them fall. Give them what they need and unlock'em. Now you can remove any of them with discovery tool.

I'm a bit confused by this. I've completed 100 dungeons from various biomes and have never seen an enemy in one except for skeletons. I know the Minotaur is supposed to be in a dungeon too. Is it normal to have dungeons with no enemies at all other than skeletons?

Enemies with Gold Hearts are weak to the "Battle Sword" which is given to you by a knight after completing one of his quests

[Trogtor]

you have to use your whits as the combat in this game is atrocious

You can find Giant Trolls in the dungeons too.

Any idea which biome I can find a dungeon with a Minotaur? I've tried them all with no luck so far.

What annoys me with dungeons like this is the inability to wield a weapon with your lantern still attached at the hip like when you use tools.
It's not easy trying to defeat bosses in pitch black darkness. =/

Agreed, but where are you finding a boss? Like I said I've only seen skeletons and I've been to 100+ dungeons now. Are the bosses throughout the dungeons or at the end?

You need to befriend a skeleton and then follow it to it's hideout (base of operations). When there, you will encounter it's leader (alpha skeleton). It isn't hostile because you befriended one of it's goons (underlings), but now you can start attacking the leader (alpha skeleton).

Thanks! I ended up just flattening most of the dungeon so the two chests fell through along with a bunch of little chests, studs, and skeletons. When I came back in the game there were two trolls locked in immortal combat. I say "immortal" combat because as quickly as they would diminish each others' hearts, they would regenerate them and keep fighting, forever. I finally built a box around them and placed some of those spiny fire thingies in the middle of it. Needless to say, they're gone now. Unfortunately, they're gone for good and I can't unlock them anymore.
