Guardians

Guardians are unique hostile NPCs which inhabit a particular zone, typically on the last level. Defeating a guardian often completes or advances a quest. Guardians often drop high-quality equipment or artifacts.

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.
