The Swamp Guardian is fifth boss that the Elder wants you to kill. It can be summoned in the Swamp Caves using a Spiked Fossil.
Fight[edit]
The Swamp Guardian is a fast moving snakelike creature that constantly tries to ram into you. It will dive in and out of ground, and also circle around above ground to try and hit you. It will also constantly be throwing out projectiles as you maneuver, and shoot out even more projectiles as you deal damage to it. This is effectively the entire fight, and it speeds up greatly as it nears death.
The body is made up of many segments, each of which has its own hitbox. This makes AoE weapons and DoT very powerful, as you can hit multiple segments at the same time. Bombs are a low investment way of quickly killing this boss, as is the Lightning Hammer from Dungeon. DoT like the poison from Spider Armor can help damage it as well.
If bursting it down causes the projectiles to overwhelm you, try using Resilience and deal damage to it slowly instead with a single target weapon.
Once the Swamp Guardian dies, the Elder will reward you with a Homestone and a Waystone.
