"Please escort me to the base of the ancient battlefield. Just be mindful of the Swamp Guardian. I beat him in a game of Tentacle Tag, and he's a sore loser." ― Knight McKnight, about the Swamp Guardian.

Strategy

Tentacles will stretch out from the mud areas and reach towards Dan if he gets too close, though they can easily be defeated with ranged weapons, such as the crossbow.
