Summary
- Alias: Bandit Spider, Spider
Corrupted Wizard is a giant spider that resides in The Spider's Nest, located in Blackrock Mountain. It can be seen crawling on the nest's floor, waiting for anyone on the upper platform to fall down.
If the players are having troubles finding The Spider's Nest, they should use the Map of Fantastic Frontier as an advantage. If they cannot seem to pinpoint its location, the players should head to the peak of Blackrock Mountain (where the Spirit of the Mountain is) and go West from there. The area with the cave entrance has a warning sign nearby, and resembles a face with eyes and a big mouth.
Attacks
There are four attacks that Corrupted Wizard can perform:
- Bite - Sweeps the area in front of it with its pincers.
- Magic Projectile - Shoots out two projectiles of magic aimed at the current positions of the players, then slams its body down on the ground afterwards, dealing damage to anyone underneath.
- Nibble - Charges forward while attempting to nibble the players with its mouth at a quick pace.
- Pincer Slam - Slams down on the area in front of it with its pincers.
- Jump - If the player is directly on top of or under Corrupted Wizard, it will jump backwards, switching directions when it reaches a wall.

Strategy
It is advised for the players to use Mushroom Parasol, flight equipment, and/or jump-boosting as an advantage to defeat the boss. There are two popular methods to defeat Corrupted Wizard. The first method is by using the "Head Baiter" method, standing on the head while attacking the boss from above. However, melee users would have a disadvantage. The second method is by using the terrain as a way to distance themselves from Corrupted Wizard, particularly the rock walls that they can climb on. One can use the Parasol to get to a rock that can be stood on, and shoot the boss from an angle where they can see it. The boss will not be able to hit you from there and will be an easy kill.
