Escape From Duckov Kill the Warden Guide
The Warden is one of the first real challenges you can face in Escape From Duckov. He appears right at the start of the tutorial, armed to the beak and ready to ruin your first day. Killing him is possible, but it’s more of a test of skill than a guaranteed payday.
Where to Find the Warden
After waking up in the prison tutorial, move backward instead of following the path forward. You’ll reach a small office where the Warden patrols. He’s the duck with grenades and an automatic rifle, acting as the prison overseer for the intro area.
How to Defeat the Warden
The Warden has high health and strong aim. He’ll often toss grenades early in the fight, which can work against him if they bounce near his position. Use cover around the office door or lure him into his own explosion range.
Lowering your difficulty helps if you just want to test his drops. On normal or higher settings, his damage output is brutal, and you’ll die in seconds if you rush him.
What Loot the Warden Drops
If you manage to kill him, you can get things like:
AK-74U rifle
Headshot II Totem
Shining Glasses (+10% visual range)
White Lab Coat armor
Pistol ammo and standard loot
His drops are not unique and can all be found later in the game, but it’s an early boost if you pull it off.
How to Farm the Warden
You can respawn him by entering and exiting the difficulty selection screen at your base. This resets the area, allowing another fight and another drop chance. His loot sells well at the vending machine, which helps early players make quick money before leaving the bunker.
Farming him is risky, though. His high damage and grenades make the fight inconsistent, and most rewards aren’t rare enough to justify repeated attempts.
Should You Kill Him
It’s not required and doesn’t change story progress. Most players agree it’s mainly for bragging rights or early-game money. If you’re confident in dodging explosives and headshots, it’s a fun challenge. Otherwise, just let him live and move on.
Final Blurb
Killing the Warden in Escape From Duckov feels like breaking the rules of the tutorial, and that’s exactly what makes it fun. He drops decent loot and can be farmed for quick cash, but you’re not missing much if you leave him alone. Survive first, flex later.
