Warden

:Not to be confused with the similar enemy, Keeper.
The Warden is a giant enemy found in throughout the entirety of the Infinity Blade Trilogy. It wields the Forge in Infinity Blade I and II, and is clad in a strange, spiked helmet and a piece of chainmail. The Warden appears to have large scars and stitches throughout its body, possible indicting an origin of being stitched together. But there is not direct mention of these scars and stitches. 
==Location Infinity Blade I==
He appears in the Courtyard, Prison, Atrium, the Central Gate. He also appears on round 14 of Survival Mode. And can be played in the new discontinued Multiplayer Mode, after the Iron Golem. 
==Infinity Blade II==
The Warden returns in an identical state to his appearance in Infinity Blade I. However, there is now a very similar enemy, named Keeper, which is commonly mistaken for a Warden.
==Combat Infinity Blade I and II==
The Warden is a large sized enemy, with a similar fighting style to similar to other large titans. He has long drawn out and telegraphed attacks, giving plenty of time to dodge, but if he manages to hit you, he can deal substantial damage, so dodging and shielding are the safest options. 
===Stepback's Infinity Blade I and II===
The Warden has three Stepbacks
Upper-cut Slam 2
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Warden move's back for an uppercut, striking the center. Then he follows up with a one-handed slam.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways. The most optimal is to dodge in any direction to avoid the uppercut, then right before he brings down his weapon, a stab icon will appear on Warden's chest, hitting it will allow you to interrupt his Stepback and deal extra damage. Alternatively, one can easliy dodge in either direction twice to avoid the Stepback. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and The Warden can still deal damage sense if he has elemental attacks attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defence shield.

===Combat Tips Infinity Blade I and II===
The Warden has incredibly telegraphed attacks, sometimes doing an intimidating slam in the direction he's going to strike. The Warden has slightly more moves that pierce through shields, but this is hardly enough to make him that substantial of a threat. With his lack of any truly special abilities, combined with his drawn-out attacks, The Warden shouldn't be much of a problem. As you can pretty easily dodge out of the way of nearly all of his attacks. But to ensure victory, you should dodge out of the way for all of his attacks except his final attack for his combo, (except during his Stepbacks, in which you should go for the Stab Icons) that way you can get a parry break which will give you the most time to strike back.
==Infinity Blade III==
The Warden, like most enemies in Infinity Blade III, can wield several different types of Weapons, and can also be disarmed mid fight, causing him to swap to a different Weapons.
