Swamp Dweller

Swamp Dweller is a monster found in Deep Swamp Caves. It is a ranged enemy that attacks by firing high-velocity arrows, making it dangerous in open passages and at long sightlines.

Because its attacks are projectile-based, staying behind cover and keeping terrain between you and the Swamp Dweller is valuable when moving through Deep Swamp Caves. Closing the distance quickly also reduces the time it has to keep up sustained ranged pressure, but any approach through narrow or exposed tunnels should still be handled carefully.

• Watch for arrow fire when entering unexplored cave sections, since it can engage from range before you are close enough to retaliate safely.
• Use walls, corners, and other obstacles to break line of sight and limit its accuracy.
• If fighting in open space, be prepared to dodge repeatedly rather than trading hits head-on.
• Treat it as a higher-priority threat when traveling with low mobility or when other enemies are present, since ranged pressure becomes more dangerous in crowded fights.
