Ritual of Gaia

The Ritual of Gaia is a ritual added by Botania. It is used to summon the Gaia Guardian, a strong boss who can be much harder than the Wither to defeat. It is the only way to get Gaia Spirit.



The Ritual of Gaia
To perform this ritual, the player will need:
 * 1
 * 4 s
 * 1
 * 9

Although not shown in the image, the 9 Blocks of Iron need to be placed in a 3x3 square directly below and centered on the beacon.

Once the structure has been built, put a Terrasteel Ingot into the Beacon by sneak-right clicking the former onto the latter to summon the Gaia Guardian.

Flight (except for creative mode flight and some rare cases of non-standard mod-added flight methods) is disabled during the ritual.

The Ritual of Gaia II
For a harder challenge, a Gaia Spirit Ingot can be substituted in for a Terrasteel Ingot. The resulting Guardian will be stronger; its strength, resistance, and speed will be increased, but the player can get more Gaia Spirits and rare artifacts.
