Step-by-Step Guide
Phase 1: Physical Form (100-75% HP)
Guardian appears as a massive mech. Attacks: Gatling Gun (rapid-fire bullets), Missile Barrage (homing missiles), Ground Slam (shockwave). Weak point: Glowing core in chest (2x damage). The core opens after each attack for 3 seconds - DPS window.
Phase 2: Digital Transformation (75-50% HP)
Guardian digitizes into pure code. New attacks: Data Spike (vertical laser from top), Virus Spread (spawns infected zones on ground), Firewall (creates barriers). Weakness: Electronic attacks. If you collected any EMP power-ups earlier, use them now for 3x damage.
Phase 3: Hybrid Form (50-25% HP)
Guardian merges physical and digital - most dangerous phase. All previous attacks available plus Perspective Hack (rotates screen like Server Room). Arena shrinks by 30%. Weakness: Attacking during perspective rotation (Guardian freezes for 1 second during screen rotation).
Phase 4: System Crash (25-0% HP)
Guardian initiates system-wide shutdown. You have 60 seconds before System Crash (instant death). Guardian is immobile but generates bullet hell patterns filling 80% of screen. Ultimate DPS check - ignore dodging finesse, just survive and maximize damage output.
Elemental Weakness System
Guardian has 4 elemental weaknesses (one per phase): Phase 1=Explosive, Phase 2=Electric, Phase 3=Freeze, Phase 4=Fire. Exploiting weaknesses (using matching weapon types) deals 1.5x damage and counts toward objective. Not required but highly recommended.

Boss Battle Tips
- •Phase 1 core timing: Gatling Gun → core open 3 sec. Missiles → core open 3 sec. Ground Slam → core open 4 sec. Slam has longest opening - save burst damage for after slam
- •Phase 2 infected zones: Purple floor areas that slow you. Don't panic if caught - movement is reduced 50% but you can still dodge. Plan your movement to avoid zones
- •Phase 3 perspective hacks: Unlike Server Room, rotations are random (not timed). Watch for the screen shimmer effect (1 second warning) before rotation
- •Phase 4 bullet hell patterns: They rotate clockwise. Move counter-clockwise to 'swim against' the pattern - this creates larger gaps to survive in
- •Elemental weakness optimization: Check your weapon loadout before the fight. Having 2-3 element types available lets you exploit multiple phase weaknesses
- •Phase transition healing: Guardian heals 5,000 HP during each transformation (about 2% of total HP). Factor this into your 8-minute timer calculations
- •System Crash countdown: Don't save your bomb for 'emergency'. When Phase 4 starts, use bombs immediately. You need the DPS more than the safety net
- •The Guardian 'learns': If you use the same dodge pattern 3+ times, Guardian will predict it. Vary your movement. True AI adaptation!
- •Positioning priority: Stay in bottom 40% of screen in Phases 1-3. Phase 4: anywhere, just keep moving
- •This boss is a skill check for the final chapters. If you can beat Guardian, you're ready for Chapters 5-8
