If you’ve reached the point in Megabonk where Lil Bark appears, congratulations—you’re moving beyond simple goblin battles and into a fight against a walking tree. This boss isn’t easy, but he isn’t unbeatable either. Like in most roguelike games, being prepared is key: choose the right upgrades and master your dodging skills to turn this massive obstacle into just another fallen tree.
Whether it’s your first time taking on Lil Bark or you’re aiming for the Speedrunner achievement that unlocks a new skin, this fight is worth completing. Here’s everything you need to know before entering the Forest and ringing the bell for battle.
How to Find the Final Forest Boss Portal
To find Lil Bark, you need to locate the Boss Portal. The best way is by following the red aura strings floating on the map. These glowing trails guide you toward the spawner, which is a stone platform with a circular entrance. When you reach it, press E to summon the final boss.
It’s smart to make sure you’re fully prepared before activating the fight, as things tend to get intense quickly once he appears.
How to Defeat the Final Forest Boss
Lil Bark is a tanky opponent, with around 12,000 health points. The fight can last a while if you’re not ready, but his slow movement gives you some breathing room. Just don’t stray too far away; if you go out of range, you’ll miss out on dealing damage.
He mainly attacks by summoning a line of sharp, pointy trees right in front of him. Before they appear, red spheres on the ground mark the danger zones, giving you a short window to dodge.
To take him down efficiently, focus on increasing your projectile count, attack speed, critical damage, and raw damage before the fight. During battle, keep circling around him, weaving between the red spheres, and maintaining constant pressure. Staying close ensures every attack lands, speeding up the fight.
For weapons, the Revolver, Bone, and Banana are good options because of their reliable projectile damage.
How to Defeat Lil Bark in Under 6 Minutes
For players looking to push their skills, defeating Lil Bark in under six minutes unlocks the Speedrunner achievement and a special character skin. To do this, focus on speed: prioritize upgrades and aim to find the Boss Spawner within the first one or two minutes of your run. Once Lil Bark is summoned, concentrate on high-damage builds and keep relentless pressure. As long as your damage output is high and you don’t waste time kiting too far away, you can beat the clock.
If you can’t locate the Boss Spawner quickly, it’s better to restart your run rather than wasting time searching. The key is moving fast and keeping your DPS high to bring him down within the time limit.
