Warden

Warden

Location

Middle of Lake, behind invisible targets and a Throw barrier.

It is possible to find Warden without Vision to see the targets, but Warden will be invisible as well. There is an achievement for beating Warden without Vision.

Abilities

Warden has the same attacks as Sentinel. They, however, attack faster, and enter their second phase much earlier.

After being defeated for the first time, they become a new boss, obtaining a new appearance and shaking violently. This version of Warden will be present from the start once the player reaches them. This new Warden has three attacks.

Tag Ring: Warden throws a bunch of red-black tags in a circle around themselves. The tags form two rings around them.

Claw Rush: Warden will shake extra hard, rush the player, then jump and swing a claw down.

• Warden can change direction at all times during the starting lag

Shadow Clone Swarm: Warden will create a swarm of shadow clones of it and Sentinel.

• If countered during this attack via means of combo counter, the shadow clone summoning can be interrupted, and no further clones will be created.

Strategy

Claw Rush should be avoided by dodging backward, as dodging through will often cause Warden to simply turn around and still do damage.

Warden is easier to set up a combo counter on, since Tag Ring attacks can be avoided by attacking the tags and Warden themself. A series of these can allow the amount of hits in a row without damage necessary to create a counter opportunity.
