Direct answer
Direct answer
After the Brewing boss reshuffle, Galley Slave became the Scarlet Coast Familiar.
Older guides that identify Shieldbearer as the First Familiar describe the pre-reshuffle state; the official patch history says Shieldbearer moved to a Calamity role.
Evidence boundary: The identity correction is supported by official patch history and a dated secondary update record. Current spawn routes, loot and tactics are outside this page's evidence.
What changed
The Brewing update reorganized the boss roles. The later official record names Galley Slave as the Scarlet Coast Familiar and places Shieldbearer in Calamities.
How to read older search results
- Treat a Shieldbearer answer as legacy information unless it clearly states a current checked version.
- Use Galley Slave for the corrected identity question after the reshuffle.
- Do not reuse an old Shieldbearer pit route as a current First Familiar route.
This is not a current boss walkthrough
The approved sources do not support a guaranteed Galley Slave spawn procedure, current reward table or best strategy. Those claims need a separate page-matrix task and new evidence before publication.
