Location: Heart of the Mountain
Phases: 3
Weakness: Slow movement, predictable attack patterns, vulnerable to sustained damage on specific body parts.
This colossal, stone-clad guardian is a test of patience and positioning. In Phase 1, he uses slow, wide-sweeping attacks and ground slams. Stay close to his legs, dodging his stomps, and attack his ankles. When he raises his arm for a slam, dodge away. In Phase 2 (around 70% health), he gains a ranged rock throw attack and may summon small stone golems. Prioritize eliminating the golems quickly, then return to attacking the Guardian's legs. Use pillars in the arena for cover from his ranged attacks. In Phase 3 (around 40% health), he becomes more enraged, his attacks are faster, and he may perform a devastating charge. Continue to exploit his slow recovery times. Rewards include a Strength-scaling weapon and a large amount of Vigor.
