Last checked Sources

Drill to Earth's Core Watcher: A big stone miner with a lamp and a pickaxe. It only moves while nobody is looking at it, and it kills on contact.

Only in the Mineshaft. Fandom's Mineshaft page gives a 25% chance of one appearing after a minute inside, and several can come at once. The Mineshaft is on the dungeons page. The Nightcrawler class fights best in the dark, but Watchers re-target a Nightcrawler who hits them.

Stats are from Fandom's Enemies table; where another source gives a different number, it is in brackets. Enemy health and damage grow with depth, so deeper layers hit harder than these base values.

How the Watcher Attacks

  • Walks fast toward you whenever no player is looking at it; its helmet light turns red when it moves and white when watched.
  • Kills you outright once it is close enough.

How to Beat the Drill to Earth's Core Watcher

  • Keep your camera on it; it cannot move while watched.
