The Jester can also be counted on for inflicting bleed to multiple enemies, if he's not busy buffing and relieving Stress. The Hellion and Flagellant are also frontliners of choice due to their bleeding attacks. Both these heroes are also capable of inflicting bleed across the enemy party, and can benefit off each other's marking abilities. Great hero choices in this area include the Bounty Hunter and Houndmaster for their damage bonuses against the numerous Human and Beast type enemies. It's also worth noting that due to the type of map layouts common here, scouting is more useful here than in other location (3x4 quadrilaterals can be almost fully scouted on first room entrance). The most commonly encountered enemy type is Beast, with many of the enemies having a secondary Human typing. In terms of their defenses, enemies here tend to be highly resistant to blight, but still vulnerable to bleed. Heroes proficient in scouting and resistant to disease can be invaluable for reasons noted below. Any hero capable of stress relief is recommended as the Warrens have more dedicated stress-damage enemies than any other location. Food is not as important here since multiple curios grant food here, especially with Medicinal Herbs.īleed attacks are extremely useful, blight less so due to high resistances.Even without good scouting, you can almost always just go around the obstacle (ie, take a different path to get to the subsequent room). Usually, just 1 will suffice if you have good scouting, allowing you to avoid paths that have obstacles (since it's a grid layout). Skeleton Key is occasionally needed for locked chests.They can, however, be used to purge a negative quirk with a Pile of Scrolls.

Torches are not necessary to stockpile in large quantities, due to short corridors.

Holy Water is occasionally useful for Eldritch Altars and Pile of Bones.

They can also be used to loot the Rack of Blades curios.

Bandages are very useful due to prevalence of Bleed traps and attacks.Unusual debuffs (such as those that halve received healing) can also be cleared with herbs. Medicinal herbs are extremely useful, as they can be used for three curios (Dinner Cart, Makeshift Table, and Moonshine Barrel).

Antivenom is essential for encounters with carrion eaters and spiders that are abundant here.

The combat music that plays within the Warrens are Battle in the Warrens and Return to the Warrens.īecause the Swinefolk are all hybrid Human/Beast monsters, the Bounty Hunter and Hound Master are helpful here, as well as trinkets that deal extra damage to Human and Beast foes.
