The enigmatic Golden Goblin is one of the intriguing mobs you can encounter in the Hypixel Skyblock Minecraft game mode. Whether you are new to the Dwarven Mines or an experienced player looking to optimize your loot, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know.
Location: Where to Find Golden Goblins
According to the game's wiki, Lv50 Golden Goblins have a mere 2% chance of appearing when you throw any type of Goblin Egg. Even rarer, they have a 0.1% probability of spawning when you're mining any ore in the Dwarven Mines. But don't lose hope! This low chance can be significantly boosted through certain Heart of the Mountain perks. The Sky Mall perk offers a 10x increase, while the Luck of the Cave perk can boost the spawn rate by up to 50%.
Behavior: Understanding the Golden Goblin
Golden Goblins are notorious for their elusive behavior. These Lv50 mobs will try their best to escape any players that come close. Ironically, their attempts to flee often result in them dying from fall damage. The good news? Even if a Golden Goblin dies this way after you’ve hit it, you'll still get kill credit and loot.
Loot: What Rewards Await
When you finally manage to down a Golden Goblin, you can expect the following loot:
- Combat XP: 6
- Coins: 100
- Experience Orbs: 5
- Mithril Powder: 200 (Common, 100% chance)
- Mithril: 5 (Common, 100% chance)
The amount of Mithril Powder you receive can be doubled to 400 with the Goblin Killer Heart of the Mountain perk.
Tips for Maximizing Golden Goblin Spawns
A YouTuber in a video said, killing Golden Goblins is not the problem—it’s making them spawn. The video suggests a few methods for maximizing your chances. One effective strategy is to mine Kabul as it enables you to maximize the ores you are able to mine. Ever since a recent update, cobblestone is considered an ore, and you can spawn Golden Goblins by mining it.
To summarize, the best option to spawn Golden Goblins is to run up and down on Kabul, mining as much as you can to optimize your chances. It may be inconsistent due to the low odds, but it is currently the best method available.
Conclusion
The Golden Goblin may be elusive, but the rewards are worth the effort. From boosting your spawn chances with Heart of the Mountain perks to understanding its behavior and loot, this guide covers it all. So the next time you venture into the Dwarven Mines, you’ll be well-prepared to face these rare creatures.
