⚫ Black Slime

The Black Slime is a powerful late-game Slime variant in Stardew Valley. These enemies appear in the Dangerous Mines after activating the Danger in the Deep quest from Mr. Qi, and occasionally in the Skull Cavern. With high health and damage, Black Slimes are among the toughest slime types encountered in the game.

Like other slimes, Black Slimes hop toward the player, dealing contact damage. Their darker color makes them stand out compared to standard Green, Blue, or Red Slimes. They are included in the Monster Eradication Goal at the Adventurer’s Guild as part of the total slime count.

• Crowd control is important, as Black Slimes are often found in groups in the Dangerous Mines.
• They are one of the best renewable sources of Iridium Ore outside Skull Cavern mining.
