If you’ve chosen to equip the Harmony Buckler Shield, you should be just dandy for close quarters combat. Attack after his combo and dashes as this gives you enough time to ensure your attack makes contact. He’ll also rush you immediately after the fireballs come for you, so be careful.

Use your Gauntlet at range, avoiding his 2-hit combo and rush attack that you should be able to dodge fairly easily. When it reignites, it’ll explode, so you don’t want to be standing too close. If you aren’t particularly fussed about the bonus requirement, you can charge the goblets, knocking them over and causing the Guardian to run over and light it again and giving you a brief opening for an attack. If you’ve opted for heavier armour, you’ll need to utilise your dodge instead, as you won’t be fast enough to just run away. When the Guardian kneels and the fire goblets start to glow, get to the outer edge of the arena to avoid the balls of fire that have tracking capabilities. In terms of battle range, once again ranged is advised. Almost all of his attacks are fire-based, so you might want to consider whipping out the Harmony Buckler Shield with a couple of Lesser Fire Runes to grant you 100% defence against fire and physical attacks. The theme of fire-based attacks in this portion of the game carry over to the boss. Kill the Guardian and collect the Firewalker Shortsword for your troubles.ĭon’t knock over any of the fire goblets if you want to fulfil the bonus requirement.
