Guardian's Haven

The Guardian's Haven is a boss biome right after the Cavern. The Giant boss is found here.

The room consists of a chunk of land surrounded by lava. The room starts with a platform over the lava, but it vanishes after you enter the room and the boss fight starts.

Access and exit
The Guardian's Haven can be accessed from either the Cavern, which is the natural route, or from the Forgotten Sepulcher. The path from the Sepulcher requires 2 BSC active, as it is locked behind a door close to the Clock Room exit, and only becomes available after beating the Giant once.

Boss Stem Cell
Defeating the Giant with 4 BSC active will award the player the 5th Boss Stem Cell.

Enemy tier and gear level scaling
In the table below, you will find the gear level and enemy tier of the Guardian's Haven based on difficulty.

Exclusive blueprints
Beating the Giant for the first time will drop the blueprint for the Giant Killer sword, which does critical hits against Elites and Bosses.

Giant outfits
Beating the Giant will also reward the player with one of his outfits. There are 5 Giant outfits, one for each difficulty from Normal (0 BSC) to Nightmare mode (4 BSC). Note that the outfit of the lowest difficulty remaining is always the one that drops., e.g. the Classic outfit will drop on 4 BSC if it hasn't been looted yet.


 * 0 BSC: Classic Giant Outfit
 * 1 BSC: Disappointed Giant's Outfit
 * 2 BSC: Cursed Giant's Outfit
 * 3 BSC: Misunderstood Giant's Outfit
 * 4 BSC: Frustrated Giant's Outfit
