Changelog/2025/July 22/0
Hello! Welcome to Hypixel SkyBlock Patch 0.23.2 . Today's update brings you some long-awaited slayer content and fixes to other parts of the game.
► The Primordial Broodfather
[edit | edit source]The Primordial Broodfather is the fifth and final tier Spider Slayer boss, being a step up from the Tier V Revenant Horror. It brings with it not just several exciting new drops that aim to alter the overarching slayer progression, but also several key revamps to older items.
➥ Boss Abilities
[edit | edit source]We didn't just add a fifth tier to Spider Slayer and call it quits - we instead took the time to rebuild the slayer from the ground up, aiming for a more active and varied gameplay experience. Each tier of the boss is now entirely different from what it was before.

➥ New Items
[edit | edit source]Please note that we are aware of just how much Spider Slayer RNG Meter XP some players have stockpiled over the years. While we will not be removing any Meter XP from players, we will also not allow for the new chase items to be redeemed in the RNG Meter for a little while after the release of this update. We have made this choice to prevent the market from being flooded on day 1 and to give everyone an equal chance at obtaining the rarer drops.
Spider Slayer 6 Items
- Tarantula Fang
- A new upgrade to the Recluse Fang.
- Vial of Venom
- A consumable that can be ingested up to 5 times for a total of +5 Crit Damage.
Spider Slayer 7 Items
- Shriveled Bracelet
- A handy bracelet that provides some useful stats to players in the Spider's Den.
- Primordial Armor
- An upgrade to Tarantula Armor that increases its base stats and abilities.
Spider Slayer 8 Items
- Sting
- The final weapon in the line of Spider Slayer swords. Deals +250% damage to Spiders and gains a large amount of Combat Wisdom against them. Attacks from this weapon will always critically strike.
- The Primordial
- The chase craft of the Primordial Broodfather, "The Primordial," is a belt that gives a small chance for players to instantly respawn slayers and slayer minibosses while worn, meaning less downtime and more slaying!
Spider Slayer 9 Items
- Tier XII Tarantula Minion
- Players may upgrade Tier XI Tarantula Minions to Tier XII via the Bartender upon reaching Spider Slayer 9.

► Changes to Unclaimed Event Rewards
[edit | edit source]As previously announced on our last release thread, we have now deployed a change that will cause any Event rewards (Spooky Festival, Carnival, etc.) to expire if it has been 10 or more SkyBlock years since they were given. If you have any rewards sitting around that haven't expired already, now is the time to claim them.
► Damage Reduction Fixes
[edit | edit source]When it came to damage reduction, some items were working in strange and mysterious ways. The most notable issue is being able to stack 100% damage resistance to get full damage immunity. Fear no more, for they have been corrected!
- Adjusted how damage reduction was calculated in Pets, resulting in lower reduction than stated.
- Adjusted End Stone Sword's ability to now gain damage reduction for every 100 mana consumed (was 5) and added a cap at 20% multiplicative damage reduction.
- Adjusted the following items from an additive damage reduction to a multiplicative reduction instead:
- Monster Hunter’s Set Bonus
- Magma Lord Armor and Magma Lord Gauntlet
- Taurus Helmet, Flaming Chestplate, Moogma Leggings, Slug Boots
- Thunder Armor and Thunderbolt Necklace
- Wither Impact and Wither Shield
- Soulweaver Gloves
- Pumpkin Armor
- Ender Relic/Artifact
- Nether Artifact
- Zombie Artifact/Ring/Talisman
- Spider Artifact/Ring/Talisman
- Wolf Ring/Talisman
- Fire Talisman
- Lava Talisman
- Wither Relic/Artifact
- Fixed an issue which allowed all variations of the Sea Creature Accessories to stack their damage reduction together.
