Boss Battle: Corrupted Custodian

Unfortunately, the final Heart Stone has been infested with Corruption, and the vile presence overpowers the Maker Custodian that Death used to enter this chamber. Karn becomes trapped behind a gate, so the Reaper will need to combat this Corrupted Custodian on his own!

You’ve piloted enough Custodians to know that their blows are devastating—it takes only a few hits to spell Death’s end. Evade each blow, and then be quick to counter with combos of your own.

Don’t mess around with the Corrupted Custodian. Call upon your Reaper Form to pile on the damage, and then use Wrath-based skills to facilitate its destruction. Above all, ensure that you avoid this powerful construct’s crushing blows.

The Guardian Awakens

With the Corrupted Custodian reduced to rubble, Death and Karn are at last able to slot the final Heart Stone onto the Guardian. The young Maker has misgivings about placing the Corruption-laden stone onto the titan, but the Horseman wagers that the purity of the other two Heart Stones will be enough to cleanse the third.

Unfortunately, the Reaper couldn’t have been more wrong. With a terrible roar, the towering Guardian rips free of its bonds and storms off, causing immense damage to the Foundry along the way. Something must be done to stop this monstrosity!

Trek to Tri-Stone

Make your way back to Tri-Stone, taking the north passage back to the Crossroad Chamber, whose north door has been shattered. As you pass through the Foundry Forge area, notice that the massive central hammer is now missing. The Guardian seems to have armed itself!

Tri-Stone has paid a terrible price for Death’s lapse in judgment. The Makers’ once great city now lies in ruins, and Eideard is nowhere to be found. Question the other Makers to learn that the old one has pursued the Guardian to Stonefather’s Vale. It is there that the Maker’s greatest construct must be confronted...
