Warden | Opponent in Borderlands 3 Borderlands 3 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 24 September 2019

This page of the Borderlands 3 guide shows how to defeat Warden. This is a medium-sized opponent who first attacks with a firearm, and then follows it with a melee attack. Our guide lists the boss' attacks and offer tips how to defeat him.

You'll be facing Warden in the final part of Hammerlocked, a storyline quest taking place on Eden-6. He is one of the easier bosses, but that doesn't mean that the battle will be easy. Unfortunately, you cannot prepare for the battle by visiting weapon and ammo vending machines before the fight. Collect as many supplies as possible before you jump in the hole shown in the screenshot above. The battle will start immediately after landing at the bottom of the hole.

Warden relies on long-range attacks. You should respond with the same and fire at him from far away as possible. During the firefight hide behind large obstacles, especially when Warden is about to fire at you.

Every time the Boss loses 1/3 of the yellow bar, he becomes temporarily immortal. When that happens, stop further attacks and use the opportunity to repair your shields or search for supply crates.

The next two phases play out exactly the same. Keep covered behind the obstacles and use your best ranged weapons to attack Warden from a distance. As the boss is rather sluggish, you can utilize your heavy duty weapons e.g. rocket launcher.

Aside from the boss, there are smaller enemies running around the arena. Simply ignore them, so in case of Fight for Your Life status, you'll be able to quickly fire at them and return to battle (Second Wind).

Once you have depleted all of the boss's yellow health bar, he will turn into Raging Warden. During this phase, the boss will try to catch you in melee range. Sprint often and avoid the boss while finding opportunities to engage him with ranged weapons.

The defeated boss will leave a lot of loot - gather credits, eridium and random equipment.
