How to Beat Swamp Walker

Tips for Defeating Swamp Walker




Attack Knee Vials When Frenzied

When Swamp Walker goes into a frenzy, its main body will root itself into the ground to gain immunity from any form of damage. To put it out of its frenzy, shoot the vials that extend from its knees to destroy them.

Avoid Kiting to Hazardous Ground

Avoid luring or pushing the Swamp Walker into hazardous ground. When Swamp Walker goes into a frenzy, it will stay there indefinitely. When Swamp Walker is in this area, aiming for the vials behind the back legs will be difficult.

Stay Away From the Toxic Puddles

After the Swamp Walker's rockets land, they leave a toxic puddle that damages you over time. Do your best to stay mobile to avoid taking unnecessary damage.

Prioritize the Roly-Polies

After Swamp Walker does its small dance to summon the Roly-Polies, prioritize them over attacking Swamp Walker as they stagger you if you dodge the wrong way. Furthermore, they drop ammo and recovery items that help your survivability during the fight.

Utilize Electric Attacks

Swamp Walker has low resistance against the Electricity Attribute, making electric-based attacks effective against it. You can use electric Modules or Descendants with Electric abilities such as Bunny to exploit this weakness.
