Fighting the Pest Warden: It’s Not Just a Walk in the Swamp

The Necesse Pest Warden may not fling projectiles at you like its swampy cousin, the Swamp Guardian, but it’s far from a pushover. This boss has a few tricks up its slimy sleeve:

Resistance to Fire, Poison, and Frost Damage
Put away your flame-spewing weapons and frosty magic—it’s not going to help much here. Instead, stick to neutral or physical damage for maximum effect.
Hardened Buff
During its circling phase, the Pest Warden gains the hardened buff, reducing the damage it takes. This means you’ll need to be strategic with your attacks, saving your strongest hits for when it’s not protected.
Tight Circling Attacks
One of its deadliest moves is coiling tightly around the player. As the circle tightens, it becomes increasingly difficult to escape without taking damage.
Speed and Aggression Increase
As you chip away at its health, the Pest Warden gets faster and more aggressive. Expect quicker charges and more unpredictable movements.

Tips and Tricks for Swamp Survival

1. Arena Prep: Clear the Swamp

Before summoning the Pest Warden, clear out a large area in the Deep Swamp Caves. Remove any obstacles, including mud and uneven terrain, to give yourself plenty of room to maneuver. Iron Bombs, Dynamite Sticks, and Tile Bombs are great for quickly clearing the area.

2. Stay Mobile

The Pest Warden’s attacks can trap you if you’re not careful. Keep moving and avoid getting caught in its looping charges or tight circles. Zooming the game view out to its maximum can help you anticipate its movements.

3. Use the Aged Champion Shield

Found in loot rooms within the Deep Swamp Caves, the Aged Champion Shield is a lifesaver. Its ability to block damage from unavoidable contact can make the fight much more manageable.

4. Explosives for the Win

Bombs like Iron Bombs and Dynamite Sticks can deal damage to multiple segments of the Pest Warden’s long body, making them a valuable asset in the fight.
