Description

The Grave Digger was the first major boss in Hardcore mode and the original final boss of Easy mode, though it was replaced by a new version which was later moved to Casual, with this enemy being a legacy enemy. Currently, it can only be spawned in Sandbox mode if the player has the Sandbox Plus+ gamepass. The Grave Digger has Stun Immunity, reducing the effectiveness of the stun from stunning towers like the Electroshocker and Warden, while also preventing it from being knocked back. As it is a boss enemy, it is also immune to being frozen by freezing towers, slowed down by the Toxic Gunner, confused by the Jester, damaged from the Nuke's fallout and slowed down by the DJ Booth.

It has very high health compared to anything that spawns before, but to compensate, it moves very slowly. In addition, it can stun towers and damage units by performing its Stomp abilities. It can also perform its Triumphing Sheol ability which "unearths" multiple enemies.

The Grave Digger was replaced by the Toilet Boss in Headache Headquarters.

Strategy

This strategy refers to the state of the game while the Invisible still appeared in the Hardcore mode.

• High DPS towers such as the Turret, Ranger or Golden Minigunner are recommended against this.
  • The Commander and DJ Booth should be used to support these towers.
  • However, do note that Hardcore mode gives very little cash and not much time to use Farms when the Grave Digger appears, so expensive towers will be harder to get. Cheaper towers with good DPS like the Minigunner can also be used.
  • Be aware that the Grave Digger can spawn multiple enemies at once. This means that if the Accelerator locks onto the Grave Digger, you may need to place other towers like the Minigunner or Turret to deal with the summoned enemies.
• Rocketeers and Mortars can be helpful against this boss as they are able to kill the enemies summoned from the Grave Digging ability fairly well, as well as being able to deal with lead enemies.
• Towers near the path are vulnerable to the Stomp. Try to place towers away from the path, if possible.
  • Cliff towers, air-based towers and the Medic are immune to its Stomp attack. The Gladiator and Warden can also block the attack once every few seconds.
    • The Medic can be used to shield towers from its stuns.
  • It can also damage units. However, the damage dealt is quite low and only a few units will be killed by it.
• The Toxic Gunner cannot slowdown the Grave Digger, the DJ Booth cannot slow it down, it cannot be knocked back and the Jester cannot confuse it. All other stalling towers are usable, though some will be much less effective because of its immunities and large size.

Trivia

• This enemy replaced the Gravekeeper.
• There is a Roblox bundle based on the Grave Digger, namely the Grave Digger bundle.
  • Weirdly, the bundle used to call the Grave Digger a goblin in its name, despite it not being a goblin in-game.
  • The individual items of the bundle, such as the Grave Digger Goblin - Torso, still call it a goblin.
• The Grave Digger's second final wave music is a remixed version of Cursed Abbey.
  • Coincidentally, the Raider Boss also used the same song, just not remixed.
• When the Grave Digger was first added, the icon of the Gravekeeper was still used, even though it was removed.
• Prior to the Entity System Update, the Grave Digger could stun the Mortar using its Stomp ability due to a bug. This was the only major boss that could stun cliff towers with a stomp ability.
• The Logbook it drops only unlocks the entry for the modern version but not the legacy Grave Digger.
