The Ancient Guardian is a mini-boss found in the Labyrinth of the Caves. It's a powerful, fast-moving enemy that charges players. Prepare with good armor, weapons, and healing. A common strategy is to kite its charges and attack between them. Defeating it drops the Horn (used for the Ancient Pseudoscience Station) and the Ancient Key, crucial for late-game progression.
