# Summoning the Harrower

The Harrower **does not spawn naturally**. You have to call it.

And no, it isn't going to be particularly happy about that.

## Before you begin

You need a **Hollow Fragment**, found through exploration, and a **Hollow Cairn** built from polished deepslate. Bring your best equipment and choose an open area. This is an endgame encounter, not an experiment to conduct beside your storage room.

## Construct the Hollow Cairn

Place **10 polished deepslate blocks** in a flat, rectangular ring, with a **two-block opening** in the middle. Viewed from above, the intended footprint is four blocks long and three blocks wide:

```text
D D D D
D . . D
D D D D
```

`D` = polished deepslate. `.` = empty space. All blocks are on the same level.

## Perform the ritual

Throw a **Hollow Fragment** into the opening. When the ritual activates, the stone darkens and pale souls surge upward. After a brief silence, the Harrower emerges nearby and immediately turns its attention to the summoner.

The Cairn can be reused, but another Hollow Fragment is required for each summoning.

## A final warning

Give yourself room to move. The Harrower is enormous, and its attacks punish anyone who assumes standing still in good armor counts as a strategy. Once the ritual begins, don't expect a polite introduction.
