The **Boss Scavenger**, or **Boss of the Scavengers**, is a [boss](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/chapter/bosses) in *Tunic*. She is encountered within the Hidden Vault of the [Rooted Ziggurat](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/rooted-ziggurat). Defeating her rewards the player with the blue key.

### Appearance

The Boss Scavenger is a large, beefy Scavenger. She wields a strange shield-like weapon, made from harvested parts.

### Plot

The Boss Scavenger is mere moments away from pillaging the blue key from the Hidden Vault before she is interrupted by the player.

### Abilities

The Boss Scavenger slashes her weapon around as a sword and uses it to perform the Admins' shockwave attack. She can also fire a shotgun and throw bombs, which can damage herself if she gets too close.

### Strategy

The player needs to be proficient at *Tunic*'s combat in order to defeat her. She can be instantly defeated by triggering the battle outside of the arena with the Magic Wand, then by using the Magic Orb to drop her into the pit.
