How it thinks
Each moment it runs the most important goals it can (lowest number first); a more important goal interrupts a less important one. Read from the game's code and put in our own words.
What it does
- 5Floats around at random.
- 7Turns to face where it is going, or its target.
- 7Shoots fireballs at a target it can see.
Who it goes after
- 1Picks a nearby player as a target, but only when an extra check passes.
How Emma beats it
She hits its fireballs back.
- When a fireball comes within 4 blocks toward her, she turns and swings at full charge once it is within 3, aiming the return at where the ghast is drifting.
Lab result: No deaths. She killed one ghast about 60% of the time, two about 30%.
