Step 2: Confront the Guardian Construct

Schedule I: Prepare to face the Guardian Construct in a circular arena. Learn to dodge its sweeping melee and energy projectile attacks to defeat this first mi.

After escaping the initial ruins, you'll enter a circular arena. The 'Guardian Construct' will activate. This is your first mini-boss. The Construct has two main attacks: a slow, sweeping melee attack and a ranged energy projectile. Both are telegraphed with a clear wind-up. Your strategy should be to dodge through its melee attacks to get behind it and land 2-3 primary hits. When it prepares its energy projectile, dodge to the side. Do not try to block its projectile, as it deals significant 'Stun' damage. If your health drops, use your 'Basic Healing Salve'. The Construct has a weak point on its back, indicated by a glowing blue core; focus your attacks there for increased damage. Defeating it will grant you 'Construct Core Fragments' and unlock the path forward. This fight teaches you the importance of dodging and identifying weak points.
