Challenger's Pauldron

Challenger's Pauldron is a trinket found in chests in the Deep Forest Cave. It is designed for boss fights rather than general exploration, since its effect only applies when a boss is nearby.

While equipped, Challenger's Pauldron increases the amount of resilience a player gains in the presence of a boss. This makes it useful for builds that rely on resilience-based survivability during difficult encounters, especially when staying close enough to maintain the bonus.

• It must be equipped as a trinket to provide its effect.
• Its bonus is tied specifically to boss proximity, so it does not help in normal combat.
• It is most valuable in boss arenas or during sustained fights where resilience gain matters.
