Guardians & boss patterns
Every timed guardian, final boss, and attack pattern across the five worlds.
Prepare for the warning
A six-second warning announces the next guardian. Arrival brings a name, a dedicated sound, boss music and a health bar. Each guardian changes phase at 65% and 30% HP; expect greater pressure as the fight progresses.
Intermediate guardians award XP, healing and chests. Their defeat is progress toward the clear; it does not grant the final victory Gold bonus. Daily Hunts use their stored objective instead of this standard five-fight schedule.

| Pattern | Response |
|---|---|
| ring | An expanding projectile ring leaves a gap. Look for the opening before committing to a direction. |
| charge | A warned rush targets an approach line. Sidestep once the direction is clear. |
| sigils | Marked ground becomes dangerous after a delay. Move out of the marks. |
| thorns | Ground hazards constrain movement. Preserve a safe route between them. |
| spiral | Rotating projectile lanes demand steady movement through openings. |
| summon | Adds arrive around the boss. Control the crowd while keeping an exit. |
| teleport | The boss relocates, leaves a hazard and fires a spread. Track the new position. |
| shield | Damage is reduced during a short shield and adds arrive. Use the window to reposition. |
| sweep | Spaced ground marks form a sweeping attack. Move into the gaps between marks. |
