Guardians are unique hostile NPCs which inhabit a particular zone, typically on the last level. They are the main (story) bosses of Tales of Maj'Eyal. They are fixed (not randomly generated) bosses, as opposed to the random bosses that can appear in certain situations, or as regular enemies on higher difficulties. The name "Guardian" comes from the game's code.
Defeating a guardian often completes or advances a quest. Guardians often drop high-quality equipment or artifacts.
List of Guardians in Maj'Eyal: The Age of Ascendancy
Backup Guardians
After returning from the Far East, players may find new or 'corrupted' bosses in many zones throughout the West. They are found on the same-numbered floors of their zones regardless of whether or not it is the alternate version of each zone. Backup guardians only appear if the original guardian of the zone was defeated. The existence of the backup guardians is hinted at by rumors randomly spoken by town NPCs.
