EX Alert: Forgotten Temple - Tips and Strategy Guide

Cook Food Before Starting the Challenge

To defeat the Battle-Tested Guardian as fast as possible, we recommend cooking food that boosts your damage output.

If you have completed all cooking quests, cook Spicy Pepper Steak, Meat Pie, and Salt-Grilled Gourmet Meat to get a total of +22% damage.

Upgrade Your Weapon

If you find that you cannot whittle down the Guardian's health quickly, you may need to upgrade your weapon. We recommend unlocking the Working with the Blacksmith Guild quest in the Royal Ancient Lab to raise your weapon level cap to 50.

Weapon Fusion Guide

Guard or Dodge the Beams

The Battle-Tested Guardian makes use of a variety of beam attacks, most of which can be blocked or dodged. If you cannot dodge at the right time, press and hold the ZL button to guard against the attack.

Do Not Parry Its Beam Attack

Unlike other Guardians, the Battle-Tested Guardian is immune against the shield parry. Doing so only causes the boss to deflect the beam towards your direction.

Parrying Guide: Who Can Parry?

Use the Statis Rune When Its Weak-Point Gauge is Exposed

The boss may sometimes perform moves that cause its Weak-Point Gauge to be exposed. Use this opportunity to use the Statis Rune to break its Weak-Point Gauge and perform a Weak-Point Smash.

How to Perform a Weak-Point Smash

Run Back When the Orange Circle Appears

When an orange circle appears on the floor, run back or dodge backwards as this indicates that the Guardian is charging up a powerful attack.
