How much does it take for the Warden to spawn?

To spawn a Warden, a player must activate a naturally generated Sculk Shrieker four times, and there must not be another Warden within 24 blocks of it, with the entire process relying on sound detection rather than traditional mob spawning mechanics. The Warden will then emerge from the ground near the Sculk Shrieker that summoned it, taking approximately 6.7 seconds to fully emerge and become vulnerable to attacks.
