The Beast Slayer Shovel Roblox Dig update brings one of the most sought-after boss-farming tools in the game. Unlike ordinary digging shovels, the Beast Slayer is engineered specifically for boss fights, offering the highest boss damage in Roblox Dig along with a unique passive laser effect. Here’s how to find it, maximize its potential, and why it’s the best choice for serious boss hunters.
Where to Find and How to Buy the Beast Slayer Shovel
The Beast Slayer Shovel cannot be found in the standard shop. It is exclusively available from the Travelling Merchant—a roaming vendor whose inventory changes regularly. The shovel costs $400,000, but getting it is not as simple as walking up and buying one.
You’ll need to wait for the Travelling Merchant to appear and then reroll their stock until the Beast Slayer Shovel is listed. This might take several tries, especially outside of events. During the Blood Moon event, the Travelling Merchant appears more frequently, increasing your chances to find the shovel in stock. Make sure to save up enough in-game currency and be ready for rerolls.
Beast Slayer Shovel Stats and Unique Effects
What sets the Beast Slayer Shovel apart is its boss-focused stats:
-
Control: 3.75
-
Strength: 6.5
-
Haste: 8
-
Luck: 15
-
Boss Damage: 100 (the highest boss-specific damage in the game)
Beyond raw stats, the shovel comes with a special passive. On powerful attacks, there is a chance for a laser effect to trigger, dealing bonus damage equal to half of your total boss damage. This makes every swing against bosses potentially devastating.
Best Enchant and Charm Combinations
To fully unleash the potential of the Beast Slayer Shovel, focus on stacking boss damage from multiple sources:
-
Use the Sendering Enchant to gain an additional 20% boss damage.
-
Equip Boss Charms like Boss Apparatus for another 6–8% boss damage each.
Stacking these effects amplifies your damage output and takes full advantage of the shovel’s unique laser passive. For best results, pair with a build focused on damage reduction and healing, which keeps you alive during prolonged boss fights.
Boss Farming Tips and Server Strategies
Always keep track of the Boss Horn cooldown, which is server-wide and lasts about 10 minutes. Efficient boss farmers will time their runs to coincide with the horn’s reset, maximizing loot over time.
While the Prismatic Shovel may outperform the Beast Slayer for regular digging, the Beast Slayer is unrivaled for boss encounters thanks to its dedicated boss damage stat and passive. For players focused on boss loot, it is the best investment, especially when combined with proper enchants and charms.
How to Reroll Merchant Stock
Whenever the Travelling Merchant is in town, use the reroll feature to cycle their inventory. Rerolls cost in-game currency, so be prepared to spend if you want to see the Beast Slayer Shovel appear. During Blood Moon, merchant activity increases, and rerolling is even more effective.
Why the Beast Slayer Shovel Is the Best for Bosses
Other shovels, like the Prismatic, may offer better all-around digging stats, but no other tool matches the Beast Slayer’s direct impact on boss damage. The passive laser effect can quickly tip the scale in difficult encounters, especially when bosses are toughest and every bit of damage counts.
Key Tips
-
Reroll the Travelling Merchant often during Blood Moon for higher chances.
-
Always use Sendering Enchant and boss-specific charms to stack your damage.
-
Plan boss farming runs around the Boss Horn cooldown.
-
Focus your build on survivability for boss fights, not regular digging.

With its unmatched boss damage, powerful laser effect, and synergy with key enchants and charms, it’s the clear choice for players dedicated to boss farming and rare loot collection. Secure yours from the Travelling Merchant, set up your build, and prepare to dominate every boss encounter the game has to offer.
