Nester

The Nester is a quick skirmisher in Minecraft Dungeons II, a Lullaby Hills pest with 55 health and 60 poise. It drops 8 souls when killed — double the usual — and its movement speed of 700 makes it one of the faster regulars, darting in for flurries of light hits.

Its moveset is built for volume: a multi-hit melee attack for 7 physical backed by a plain melee attack for 5 physical. No single swing threatens much, but the Nester lands several in the time slower mobs land one, and at 700 speed it repositions between flurries. Against light-armor heroes, the chip damage adds up faster than expected.

Elemental damage is the clean answer. The Nester takes +25% damage from elemental sources and has no listed resistance, so fire, frost, and lightning weapons all hit the bonus. Elemental Minecraft Dungeons II Enchanting Guide on a fast weapon turns the matchup into a rout — you out-trade it easily at 55 health. Keep moving to avoid the multi-hit connecting in full, and don't let it pin you in a corner.

It is fought in Lullaby Hills and appears across 2 regions, with minecart stations at Illager Stronghold and Lullaby Hilltop. Faster than the Hurler's straight-line rush but softer per hit — element-charged weapons end the argument.
