🕷 Combat
Mutant Cave Crawler
A giant, mutated Cave Crawler
that lurks in a sealed lair off the Diamond Mine. It's the toughest hunt in the mines, and the only source of
the Venom accessory.
Overview #
The Mutant Cave Crawler is a boss version of the common Cave Crawler.
It's double the size, moves even faster than the regular swarm, and hits hard enough to
threaten well-geared players. It stays confined to its own sealed lair (an
enclosed area tucked off the main Diamond Mine region), so the ordinary
Cave Crawlers never wander in. This is a PvE encounter: like every fight in Timelords, you battle the mob,
never other players.

Something in the deep dark warped one of the swarm into a monster twice its size
and it has been down there, alone, ever since.
The Fight #
This is a genuine boss fight, not a punching bag. Come prepared:
Sustain
With 70% 🗰 damage reduction on a
1,000 ❤ health pool, it takes real damage to break down. It also
heals about 100 ❤ every 16 seconds, so a slow,
low-damage attempt can stall out, so bring enough sword Damage and
Crit to out-pace the regen.
Speed & size
At double scale it's slower to lose than a normal crawler, but it charges faster and will chase you
around the lair. Keep it in melee range where it can't corner you against a wall.
Its hits
Each strike deals 85 🗡 before your
Defense 🗰 soaks it. Stack armor Defense so those hits become
survivable. See the combat stats for how Defense scales.
Respawn
Once slain it stays down for a full 10 minutes before returning, so make each attempt
count.

Frenzy before the fight. Escalating-damage effects
shine against a single high-health target like this one.
Drops #
Only players who deal at least 10% of the boss's total damage qualify for loot, and each
qualifying player rolls the table independently.

1 / 5 |
Every kill pays out a big chunk of Flesh (far more than a common mob),
which you can spend with the Alchemist. The prize, though, is
Venom: a Legendary
accessory that adds Damage 🗡
and rolls a Strength multiplier. At a 1 in 5 drop it's
far more attainable than most Legendary items, but it's the only place Venom comes from,
so this boss is worth farming.
