How to get Dave glove in slap battles?

The Dave Glove in Slap Battles has quickly become one of the most talked-about badge gloves in the game — and for good reason. It’s not just another cosmetic; unlocking it means taking down the Dodecahedron Dave (Evil Barzil) boss in an intense multiphase battle that tests your timing, mobility, and skill. Many players struggle to even find where the fight begins, let alone beat it.

In this complete guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to get the Dave Glove — from locating the secret boss arena and gathering key tools, to surviving each attack phase and earning the Dodecacide badge. Whether you’re a casual player or a glove collector aiming to complete your set, this walkthrough will make sure you don’t miss your chance to claim one of Slap Battles’ most challenging and rewarding gloves.

How the glove is awarded

• Dodecacide badge = reward for beating the Dodecahedron Dave boss on Normal difficulty. Earning that badge unlocks the Dave glove as a badge glove. In short: beat boss → get badge → glove unlocked.

What you need beforehand

• A working copy of Slap Battles (obviously).
• Be ready to run a multiphase boss fight: bring a mobility glove (grappler / spring / magnet etc.) or ranged knock back control if you have it — helps a lot for survival. (Community walkthroughs recommend mobility and high-survivability loadouts).

How to reach and spawn the boss (step-by-step)

(Synthesised from several community walkthroughs — follow these in a single server session.)

1. Find the update area / event access
   • The Evil Barzil / Dodecahedron Dave content is usually placed behind a parkour/mission route in the updated lobby or a new area added in the event update. Guides show the route involves repairing an elevator and progressing through parkour stages.
2. Early objectives (typical)
   • Search the lobby/level for tools (example: red screwdriver with sparkly handle) in random spawns. Use it to repair an elevator or mechanism. Climb and progress through the elevator levels to collect further items (small hammer, sledgehammer, grappler) used to break obstacles and advance. (These exact item names and spawns come from the community guide describing the Mortis/Dave quest route — follow whatever the in-game clues are if patch changes occur.)
3. Complete the parkour / progress puzzles
   • Use the tools to open doors, break windows and reach the boss access area. Some videos show a multi-floor puzzle that culminates in the boss arena.
4. Spawn the boss
   • Once you finish the route, the boss encounter (Evil Barzil / Dodecahedron Dave) will trigger. In some cases you may need to interact with an object or defeat a wave to fully spawn the boss. If you don’t see it, try another server — some event spawns are server-specific.

Boss mechanics — what to expect

The fandom/wiki entry and video walkthroughs describe the Dave boss as multi-phase with glove-like attacks and massive area moves. Key mechanics:

• Wide slapping arcs — the boss uses large-hand slaps that have greater range than many regular gloves. Keep distance or dodge sideways.
• Special abilities (E / R behaviour) — the Dave glove (and the boss) has abilities where a giant fist will target a nearby player and slam down; another move summons projectiles/nails that knockback players. Learn the tells and dodge the initial telegraph.

Videos show the fight has phases with spawn adds and enraged mechanics — damage avoidance and movement are more important than raw slaps early on. Watch a recent boss walkthrough once before you attempt it if you can.

Recommended strategy and loadout

• Mobility glove (grappler, spring, magnet, or similar) to reposition quickly.
• High survivability — gloves with defensive/passive knockback reduction or ones that let you avoid the arena center.
• Practice the fight from videos — watch one or two boss walkthroughs for timing (I found creators walk through dodges and phases clearly).

Specific pro tips from the community:

• Don’t bunch up with other players during the slam/nail phases — the boss’s AOE will punish stacked teams.
• If the boss summons projectiles (nails), move laterally and use jumps / grapples to avoid being pinned.
• If you die, re-enter and try again — some players farm attempts in public servers until they’re comfortable.

After you get the badge

• The Dave glove becomes usable from your gloves list (badge gloves generally unlock immediately). Check your gloves menu. If it doesn’t appear, relog or join another server; sometimes the unlock shows after a short reload.

Is the glove time-limited or permanent?

• Community discussion questioned how long the event would last; some event/glove releases are permanent as a badge glove, others are seasonal. At time of the guides/videos I checked, players were still obtaining the glove but some worried the event might be temporary — there’s no authoritative permanent/temporary statement in the sources I checked, so treat it as possible time-sensitive and try while the boss is available in servers.

Troubleshooting (if you don’t get the glove)

• Ensure you actually received the Dodecacide badge in your Roblox badges list. If you didn’t, you didn’t meet the boss requirements (or server timed out the event).
• If badge shows but glove not in list: relog, restart Roblox, or join another server — badge-glove unlocks sometimes need a client refresh.
• If the update content has been rotated out or patched, check the Slap Battles wiki or recent videos for any changed obtainment mechanics.
