Death Cap Mushroom - Minecraft Dungeons II Artifact

The Death Cap Mushroom is a Fighter artifact in Minecraft Dungeons II eaten by daring warriors before battle to enter a berserker state. It ramps up both your movement and attack speed, turning you into a whirling storm of strikes for as long as the frenzy lasts.

Effect and cost

The mushroom costs only 20 souls with a 4-second cooldown, so it is nearly always available when you need a burst of tempo. It adds no damage of its own — that is the tradeoff that keeps it at B tier on the tier list — but faster attacks mean more hits, which means more chances for on-hit effects and enchantment procs like Lightning Surge or Thundering to trigger.

When to use it

Pop the Death Cap Mushroom on fast-hitting melee builds where attack speed is the engine. Weapons with quick combos — daggers, sickles, gauntlets — multiply the benefit, and the extra movement speed helps you reposition between packs or chase down ranged enemies. It also pairs well with damage steroids: stack it with the Battle Banner or the Fighter's Flute so the frenzy hits as hard as it swings fast.

How to get it

The Death Cap Mushroom drops in Howling Woods and Ravines. If you want even more attack tempo, compare it with the Tempo Truffle and the Powershaker.
