The Warden Fight[edit | edit source]

The Warden spawns in the middle of a cross-shaped intersection of flooring within the Hold, with steep drop-offs which Savage Fiends will climb up to attack the player. The spawning of the Warden will be preceded by an omnipresent voiceover within the game, where he says "Am I alone here? Must I do this myself? So be it. Face me, and repent".

He possess Jailer (as you'd expect) and Molten affixes but still, if you're the appropriate level here he and his few minions (Savage Fiend) shouldn't present a problem. Even so it is best not to engage him in the centre of the intersection.
