The Minecraft x Stranger Things DLC drops you into a blocky Hawkins where you team up with “The Party” to stop the Upside Down from spreading. As you progress through the map, you’ll face a series of escalating boss encounters that mirror key threats from the show, adapted into Minecraft’s combat and puzzle style.
All bosses & enemies
Here's a list of all the bosses and enemies in Minecraft x Stranger Things DLC:
Demogorgon (1st encounter)
This is the first encounter with the Demogorgon boss, and it takes place inside your house, where it luckily gets trapped in a single spot. Because it cannot move or attack properly, the fight is extremely simple. Just use Flint and Steel to set it on fire and finish it off safely without needing advanced gear, dodging, or ranged combat.
Demodogs
Demodogs appear in packs, attacking you in five consecutive waves that you must survive. The fight takes place in an open field, giving you space to move and reposition. Use your bat to hit and defeat them as they rush in, and keep moving between attacks to avoid getting overwhelmed by the swarm.
Mind Flayer
The Mind Flayer is an indoor boss fight that focuses on positioning and quick reactions rather than ranged combat. To defeat it, break the boxes around the room to gather materials, then craft fire fireworks and shoot them at the boss to deal damage. While attacking, be sure to dodge its attacks, especially when it pushes its arms up through the floor to strike from below.
Demogorgon (Prison)
This is a late-game Demogorgon encounter that takes place in the prison. The Demogorgon remains in one place, and the battle revolves around quick time events. Watch the on-screen prompts closely to know when to dodge and when to counter, as correctly timing these inputs is the key to defeating the boss.
Vecna
Vecna is the final boss, fought indoors with multiple minions spawning throughout the fight. To defeat him, you must destroy his tendrils one by one using environmental tools like the mirror and campfire, rather than relying on standard weapons. While doing so, dodge tendril attacks that burst up through the floor, and later in the fight, avoid projectile attacks that Vecna begins firing. Destroying all the tendrils defeats Vecna and completes the game.
Your Hawkins adventure
Beating all the bosses in the Minecraft x Stranger Things DLC comes down to learning each fight and staying calm. Pay attention to the mechanics, use the tools the game gives you, and time your dodges and counters well. With a little patience, you’ll defeat the Demogorgon, overcome the Mind Flayer, and finally take down Vecna, saving Hawkins and finishing the story in true Party style.
