The Magma Admiral was removed from the game in Update 30 and replaced by the Magma General, which inherits its level, location, quest and drops. What follows describes the game before that update.
Magma Admiral is a level 350 boss hidden in the volcano of
Magma Village, in
First Sea. He fights with the old skills of the non-Awakened
Magma fruit: only two attacks, slow and short-range, but Magma Column is very damaging in close combat. The real danger of the arena is the lake of lava in the center, which burns you continuously if you're not immune.
How to get it
In the volcano of Magma Village, in First Sea. Level 350, 14,750 health points, respawns every 8 minutes. The quest to defeat him is taken from
The Mayor.

His Attacks

| Attack | What It Does | To Know | How to Avoid It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magma Fist | He sends a magma-covered fist with a decent hitbox. | Decent damage and knockback if it hits. | Stay at distance, the projectile travels very slowly. Dash or |
| Magma Column | He strikes the ground and creates a column (the same model as the old non-Awakened | He launches it when you're close. It also creates a rock barrier that prevents you from fleeing, and it hits very hard. | Limit your M1 close combat for a while and keep your distance: the column can kill you very quickly. |
How to Defeat Him
- The best choice remains his own fruit, Magma: it makes you immune to lava while there's a lava pool in the middle of the volcano. Without it, as soon as you step in the lava, you take huge continuous damage.
- Play at distance: his movements and attacks have reduced range and area, so staying far allows you to dodge easily.
- You can also counter him by dashing constantly, since his attacks are very slow.
Light works very well for this, its F allowing you to dodge all his attacks. - Flame is also recommended for the huge knockback of his X, Burning Blast. Given the arena's shape, Magma Admiral will never be permanently ejected, and if he falls somewhere odd he respawns in the arena. His X, C (Fire Column), and V (Flame Destroyer) can even knock him to the ground, immobile for a few seconds. Warning: on the ground, he can still use his powers, so don't stay right next to him.
- If you play sword or melee, take a gun that does decent damage (the
Cannon for example), plus
Instinct and Flash Step to disengage quickly after hitting. All that still comes to 850,000 Beli. - The hit and run technique works well: you dash toward him, land a hit, and get out before he reacts. Just be careful not to run out of energy, or you can't dodge anymore, and remember he can use Magma Column if you stay too close.
- Another approach: lure him into the central lava pool and circle him while dashing. Magma Fist is slow so easy to dodge, and he won't use Magma Column if he's not near you. A stunning fruit like Ice or Light keeps him in place afterward.
- If you have an
Elemental fruit, server hopping is interesting: it's not popular, while the island's NPCs use Aura, which makes farming there annoying.
Things to Know
- Magma Fist and Magma Column are the old Z and X of non-Awakened Magma, but his version of Magma Fist only fires a single projectile and his Magma Column has a smaller area.
- He walks in lava without taking any damage.
- Along with
Hydra Leader and Sky Warlord, he's one of the only bosses that drops a gun (the
Core aside). - He wears a variant of the
Marine Cap and
Coat, but gets no bonus from them.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Magma Column hits very hard and creates a rock barrier that prevents you from fleeing
- He walks in lava without damage, unlike you
- His arena contains a lava pool that burns you continuously
- Slow attacks with little range and area
- Magma Fist can be dashed away from easily
- He only uses Magma Column if you're close to him
- Flame's knockback can knock him to the ground for several seconds
Our take
A simple boss as long as you stay far from him and away from the lava, and a very profitable quest for level 350: 15,000 Beli and 3,000,000 EXP from The Mayor, plus 8,750 Bounty per kill.
