How to kill Warden

You are not meant to fight it: sneak away and break the shriekers. If you must fight, it has no armor but huge health; its sonic boom ignores armor and shields. Killing it drops only a sculk catalyst - no real reward.

Behavior

Blind: hunts by sound and smell. Vibrations from walking, projectiles or blocks attract it. Sonic boom pierces walls and shields. Burrows away after 60 seconds of calm.

Taming and breeding

Cannot be tamed or bred.
