If you follow the quests of the Alchemist in Enshrouded, he will task you with slaying The Scavenger Gorger Matron to unlock a crafting recipe. Although she deals a lot of damage, she is easy to defeat if you know how to use the level to your advantage.
Hill of Scavengers Walkthrough in Enshrouded
Although you can fight the Matron in melee, she is weak to arrows and spells. If you have a staff, I recommend crafting Fireball spells and getting some mana potions before heading to the camp.
Head to the Hill of Scavengers north-east from the Ancient Spire of Springlands. Before facing the Matron, you will have to defeat some of her minions; mostly Scavenger Archers are wolves.Be careful with the explosive trapsby the entrances of the palisades, andmind the explosive barrelsthat are scattered all around the camp.
Make sure to loot the fallen enemies because some drop Explosive Powder Bombs; although these aren’t effective against the Scavenger Matron, they can be useful against other strong enemies like the Fell Thunderbrute.
Head inside the tunnel; there’s an anvil whereyou can repair your toolsbefore the fight, andthere’s a silver chestthat might give you a decent weapon. Be sure there are no minions that can spot you and disturb you during the fight against the boss, and head up the ramp at the end of the tunnel to find the Scavenger Matron.

Tips to fight the Scavenger Matron in Enshrouded
You can sneak inside the arena without her noticing you, which I recommend doing to get somebackstab damage with your first Fireball. You can also wait until she stands near the center andshoot the explosive barrelnext to her, to take a chunk out of her health.
She has two ranged attacks: one throws two sets of three poison bombs, which are easy to dodge, and the other is a short range poison breath attack, which is dangerous becauseit can stun you. Try to avoid the second one by all means, since getting stunned will make you unable to move, and you’ll soak all the damage.
