📍 Spawning

Draugr spawn in:

Open areas of the Swamp
Sunken Crypts
Draugr Villages within the Swamp

They frequently patrol shallow water and ruined structures.

Starred variants (1★ and 2★) have significantly increased health and damage.

⚔️ Behaviour

Draugr are aggressive and will attack on sight.

Two main variants exist:

**Melee Draugr** – Uses sword or axe attacks at close range.
**Archer Draugr** – Uses a bow to deal ranged damage.

They:

Often attack in groups.
Patrol ruins and structures.
Deal high damage compared to earlier biome enemies.

Archer variants can quickly drain health if ignored.

🛠 Combat Strategy

Use iron-tier weapons when possible.
Prioritize killing archer Draugr first.
Use blunt weapons for strong stagger potential.
Maintain high stamina — swamp terrain slows movement.
Always carry Poison Resistance Mead when exploring the Swamp.

Fighting in water reduces stamina regeneration and mobility.

Common dangers:

Being shot by archers while slowed by water.

Underestimating their melee damage.

Proper preparation is essential before deep swamp exploration.
