The Crimson Warden is a former Greymane archer who defected and now hunts humans as prey. Encountered during the Corrupted Greymane faction quest in Demeniss Wildlife Park, she is a highly mobile ranged fighter with only one health bar but extreme evasion. This fight is unique because players can learn three exclusive combat skills through the Watch and Learn mechanic.
