When the Warden was first revealed, many players thought they could sneak in and explore deep dark caves for as long as they wanted. Players had a false idea that the Warden would only discover them using vibrations.

But apparently, the Warden also has a strong sense of smell. If it fails to find the player, it will try to locate its location by whiffing.
