-Ick Swamp is a Hard difficulty dungeon filled with plants and other dangerous monsters. It is unlocked by completing the {{d|Southern Swamp}}.

-== Overview ==
-−
-'''Monsters:''' Gorgons, Vampires, Warlocks, Naga, Meat Men, and Wraiths. Additionally, the dungeon is mostly filled with plants of all types, including barbing bushes. Monster difficulty is 120%.
-−
-'''Bosses:''' One random boss and Itsssama the Naga, with 318 hit points, 37 damage, 50% physical and magical resistance, and weakening blow.
-−
-'''Special Rules:''' All Warlocks killed drop Wisp Gems, small slot items that give a +5% attack bonus.  Mana burn, poisonous and corrosive plants have a small chance to drop a spoon.
 == Strategy ==
 You want to level up using gorgons, vampires, and warlocks because they all have relatively low hp. Nagas are to be avoided unless they can be killed without incurring any weakening. The plants are very dangerous and hinder your movement, but avoid killing the poison and mana burn plants unless you're about to level up. If possible, before you level up, clear out all the poison and mana burn plants. Corrosion can not be removed easily, so it is recommended you avoid getting any. Before you begin the boss fight, make sure you have killed all sorcerers and pick up all wisp gems.
 == Special interactions with plants ==
-The harmful plants of the Ick! swamp can be exploited as a resource under limited conditions. A worshiper of Glowing Guardian equipped with HALPMEH can and should poison himself whenever he is at full mana and about to explore, and at any point in time during a battle where he intends to cast HALPMEH. Whenever practical, you should also try to get poisoned and manaburned just before leveling up. A character following this strategy will actually want to conserve the plants rather than just cut them down.
+It may not look like it, but the harmful plants apply their effects by making a zero-damage attack. This attack can be dodged like any other attack. Rogues following {{g|Tikki Tooki}} can gain very large amounts of piety by harvesting the plants right before level up. Taking the {{boon|Dodging}} makes this even better.

 Killing a plant, even the harmless green ones, still counts as a kill and still discharges {{s|IMAWAL}}. Be cautious that you don't waste your {{t|Experience Boost}} on a 0 xp kill!

If you decide to go the spell casting route, it is highly recommended you bring the piercing wand to counteract his high resistances.

If you find a [[CYDSTEPP]] glyph, start killing sorcerers, gorgons, and vampires 2-3 levels above you. If you find [[HALPMEH]], it will be monsters 1-2 levels above you. If you find [[Taurog]], only pick up the sword, armor, and possibly shield, as you need the rest of the space for wisp gems. If you go the [[Berserker]] route it's Taurog time! Grab the sword, armor, and helmet first converting all glyphs and killing high level sorcerers with your new 65% magic resistance. The boss should be easily outlast-able with any of the 4 tactics.
