Where The Warden's Hunger waits

The Warden's Hunger holds the gates at depths 41,100, 41,700, 42,300, 42,900, 43,500 in The First Prison, sharing the zone's 100-depth gate rhythm with The Sealed One and The First Warden and The Doorless Gate and The Last Turnkey and The Sigil-Speaker.

What The Warden's Hunger is

The Warden's Hunger is a Brute: it swings a mace, and the body asks for the guard shell, armor against a heavy blow, stalling — it wards off blows from afar and hooks you in. As a boss it wears the type's defences at 35%, carries no status of its own, and enrages below half health: it hits harder and moves faster.

The Warden's Hunger by the numbers

The card at each gate — health, damage per swing, armour and the modifiers it rolls — straight from the game's spawn table. On the floor the boss leads with 60% of the card's health and 60% of its damage, before the road's own pressure.

Modifiers are rolled per depth and are the same for every player. Bosses always carry at least 3 and never a pace modifier (SWIFT, BRUTE), so a boss's swing rhythm is its own; of the seals only the walls — BLOODLESS, INERT, ASHEN, ETHEREAL, DENSE — ride a boss. The full list is in Enemy modifiers.

At its first gate The Warden's Hunger leads with 22,357,716,079 health, against 16,891,644,234 for the leader one floor above, and swings every 1.25s.

What a gate floor is

A gate is a floor like any other, with the boss leading its last pack. Nothing below it opens until the floor is cleared. A lost floor costs nothing; you can fight it again. How a floor is fought is under Combat.
