Guardian Challenge

Boss Fight: Ancient Guardian

The Ancient Guardian has three phases:

Phase 1 (100% – 70% HP)

• Standard melee attacks with wide sweeps — dodge backward
• Summons vine traps periodically — destroy them quickly
• Weak point: glowing crystal on its back

Phase 2 (70% – 40% HP)

• Gains ranged thorn projectiles — use side-dashes
• AOE ground slam every ~15 seconds — jump to avoid
• Increased summon frequency

Phase 3 (40% – 0% HP)

• Enters berserker mode — attack speed doubles
• Core exposed — deal bonus damage to the core
• Avoid standing in the center during the final slam sequence

Tips

• Bring at least one healer character
• Stock up on healing items before engaging
• Use crowd-control skills during the vine summon phase
