The bosses in No Rest for the Wicked are challenges that test players' skills and their understanding of the game's mechanics. Action-packed duels will force you to carefully observe the enemy and learn their behaviors. The list presented below is a collection of the most important information and tips regarding all bosses in the game. The knowledge contained here may be helpful in defeating these powerful opponents.

Warrick the Torn

The first boss of the game, which you will encounter just before reaching the Sacrament town. During the fight with the twisted soldier, there will be several important things:

1. Before starting the fight, it is worth reaching at least level 3 or 4. Look around the area, fight with minor opponents and invest some attribute points in developing the most important statistics (health, stamina).
2. You should also collect useful loot. In addition to equipping basic weapons and armor, it will be crucial to prepare a sufficient amount of healing soups, which you can prepare at the campfire by combining yellow mushrooms common in the area with Artemisia Herb. Weapon oils or potions that restore Focus, randomly found in chests, can also prove to be useful.
3. During the fight, the most important thing will be proper positioning and stamina management. Warrick has a very wide range of attack and moves surprisingly fast for his size. For this reason, you must always be prepared to quickly dodge or jump away from incoming attacks. A character with a depleted stamina bar cannot dodge, which exposes them to mortal danger.
4. Therefore, it will be very important to move calmly around the monster and wait for a chance to attack. In our opinion, it is best to dodge diagonally and slightly towards the boss, so you can get behind his back as quickly as possible. Once you get there, attack once or twice and then quickly back off. Don't use up all your stamina by swinging your sword, because then you won't have any stamina left to escape.
5. The boss has several attacks, the most dangerous of which are probably the wide sword slash and the spin attack. However, these moves are signaled by animations where Warrick swings his sword. Over time, you will learn to recognize them and react by dodging far enough.
6. Slightly less dangerous are his various pushes and high jumps. These attacks are quite easy to avoid and are also preceded by a characteristic animation.
7. Roughly halfway through the fight, the boss will go to the center of the arena where he will start to scream terrifyingly, sending a wave of energy around him. Move away, because the wave may throw your character off balance, exposing you to further attacks.
8. After each of the more powerful attacks, the boss will take a few moments to gather strength for another strike. This is your opportunity to counterattack. However, don't be too greedy - attacking for too long and using up all your stamina can end tragically for you once Warrick starts fighting back.
9. Use the size of the arena. A few backward dodges will give you some distance and a few precious seconds, which you can spend on drinking the healing soup. However, remember that food has its own cooldown (10 seconds) so use healing wisely.
10. Don't rush. Fighting Warrick is more of a test of patience and composure than of pure agility. By properly managing your stamina and space, waiting for opportunities to attack and methodically learning the boss's attacks, you will eventually defeat the beast.

After defeating Warrick, you will gain access to the town of Sacrament, which will now become your main hub and base when traveling around the island.
