11Plague Crusher is a Senkamati Giant variant encountered in the Cursed Swamps. It is part of the plague-family Giant template in Windrose, sharing its internal asset class with the Plague Berserker and the Chick Chan quest boss. Plague Crushers appear during the post-Stargazer phase of Cursed Swamps progression, most reliably near the warlord's death site after the player has solved all three Stargazer Observatory puzzles.44Summary66PropertyValueCategoryCursed Swamps plague-family enemy, Senkamati Giant variantBiomeCursed SwampsFamily templateSenkamati Giant (same as Plague Berserker)Spawn areaNear the warlord's death site, after all three Stargazer Tower puzzles are solvedPrimary dropTear of SorrowRecommended gear tier12 to 15 (Cursed Swamps upper band)88Combat Profile99Plague Crusher shares combat framework with other Senkamati Giants: a high-HP melee bruiser that applies heavy Crude damage on its swings and a signature non-targeted AoE attack at point-blank range. Exact HP and per-hit damage values specific to Plague Crusher are not publicly documented; the Senkamati Giant family baseline is approximately 5,520 HP with Crude-type attacks in the 270 per-hit range and a 325 AoE burst, but Plague Crusher itself may vary from the Plague Berserker baseline.1111The enemy's movement pushes through vegetation, which is why the developers explicitly fixed a tree-collision bug in hotfix 0.10.0.2.54 on April 17, 2026. Before that patch, Plague Crushers could snag on trees while pursuing the player; the fix makes them correctly destroy trees mid-charge.1313It is a level 15 enemy, near the ceiling of the Cursed Swamps power band, and hits hard enough that a clean combo can stagger an under-geared player. Alongside its Tear of Sorrow payout it is one of the most reliable sources of Swamp Creature's Tooth in the biome.1515Drops1717Plague Crusher drops Tear of Sorrow in quantities typical for its Giant family tier (the Plague Berserker sibling drops 11 to 19 Tear of Sorrow per kill, split across two guaranteed rolls). Other drops (ancient artifacts such as the Gold Mask of the Priest, Ancient Chalice, or Gold Temple Jug) may roll from the shared Giant family loot table, but specific Plague Crusher loot is not cleanly separated in community trackers.1919Tactical Notes2121Do not commit to melee lockdown. The Giant-family AoE attack punishes stand-still damage. Use spacing, dodge the telegraphed attack, then punish the recovery.Crude-type damage against Plague Crusher is not documented as reduced or buffed; Plague Berserker's export is empty on weakness multipliers. Pierce and Crude are safe choices; the standard Cursed Swamps approach of stacking Plague Marks and applying Vulnerability before Heavy Attack applies as well.Bring Truffle (the Boar Whistle companion) for extra poise-break damage. Truffle's Blunt damage pressure complements a player weapon that favors crit scaling.Use the terrain. Pulling the Crusher through the Plague Wood trees lets the trees it smashes through fall onto it for free chip damage. Bait its point-blank burst, step out of range as it commits, then close back in during the recovery.Truffle aside, ranged openers from a Blunderbuss or Musket let you whittle the Crusher before it reaches melee range, which matters because its swings apply heavy Crude damage.2323Quest Variant: Chick Chan2525A named Senkamati Giant called Chick Chan spawns near the warlord's death site as a one-time quest variant after all three Stargazer Tower puzzles are completed. Chick Chan uses the same Giant family template as Plague Crusher and Plague Berserker, but it is a scripted unique spawn tied to its quest and does not respawn. Its loot uses the shared Giant family loot table.2727Patch History2929Hotfix 0.10.0.2.54 (April 17, 2026) fixed a tree-collision bug that allowed Plague Crushers to get stuck on trees while pursuing the player. Post-patch, the Plague Crusher destroys trees in its charge path correctly.3131See Also3333Plague Berserker sibling Senkamati Giant variantCursed Swamps the biomeStargazer Observatory the puzzle chain that gates Plague Crusher spawnsTear of Sorrow primary dropHigh Priestess Cursed Swamps biome boss3535Game Data3737Drops3939FromDropTear of Sorrow5-12Ancient Incense Burner1Ancient Chalice1Pot with Golden Horns1Gold Mask of the Priest1Gold Temple Jug1Gold Vase of the Chief1
