The Gardener is a special monster that only appears in the subdungeon where {{g|The Earthmother}} is unlocked. Several Gardeners spawn among the plants, all at level 9. Due to the combination of {{t|Physical resist}} and {{t|Retaliate: Fireball}}, they are very difficult to fight, although effects such as {{i|Avatar's Codex}}, {{i|Really Big Sword}}, {{boon|Cleansing}}, or the {{c|Half-Dragon}} trait {{t|Dragon Breath}} are just a few of the possible ways to work around their defenses.

However, there is no purpose in fighting them except as a self-imposed challenge, as they give {{t|No Experience}} and do not drop any rewards when killed. The player can simply walk around them, cutting a path through the plants, to reach the altar of {{g|The Earthmother}}.

Once {{g|The Earthmother}} has been unlocked, Gardeners no longer appear anywhere in the game.
