Abyss Guardian

* Current
* Legacy

**Abyss Guardian** is a NPC Boss that spawns in the main area of the Abyss. It is a large radiant boss with a very high FoV that able to hunt down players, however it does not do the best job at it. It mainly runs around in circles in the main area of the abyss, and if it sees a player there is only a small chance that it will attempt to kill you directly. Otherwise, it will just continue running around in circles. Abyss Guardian is also able to enter Wormholes due to its level.

It can also use the one way gates to bounce in certain directions, sometimes into unsuspecting players. The abyss guardian, occasionally and randomly, will move around extremely fast. This may also happen if there's no entities for the Abyss Guardian to hunt.

If it does this and you are in its way, you will die instantly as it will ram and kill you. This usually only occurs if you are unlucky enough, and you will never see this coming as it zooms past you almost instantly.

Abyss Guardian is considered the most powerful entity in the game.

## Strategy

#### Against the Abyss Guardian

STAY AWAY! The Abyss Guardian has a monstrous speed and HP multiplier of 20,000,000. There is no way to kill it, even with the biggest team you could get. If it is chasing you, enabling passive mode (if you're using damaging auras) may help you to not get its attention, don't damage polygons or the Abyss Guardian and wait until it goes away. It's also recommended to shoot bullets to reduce the damage you take from the big cannon. You must run to the middle of the map to circle around it, then it will stop targeting you. It has been known to stop targeting the player randomly, if you are lucky enough.

Stay away from the trap launchers as well. The traps can instantly kill any non-Saw/Ziggurat users with low HP stats and most Celestials, and deal around 1/2 HP of damage to celestials. If it is targeting someone else, it is generally safe to move around it because it does not switch targets usually, but be aware of the trap launchers.

## Trivia

* The Abyss Guardian is on the yellow team, and ironically instead of “defending” the realm, it is hostile to shapes.
* It's purpose is to kick players out of the Abyss, which explains it's insane speed and HP.
* The Abyss Guardian's respawning mechanic was abused to create lag in Test Servers.
* The Abyssling is designed like the Abyss Guardian.
* Abyss Guardian was completely changed, re-designed and re-added alongside with the Abyss in ALPHA 0.11.0.
* Abyss Guardian's old weapon and body ID were **[***Abyss* for Weapon**/***Guardian* for Body**]**
* The new Abyss Guardian is stronger than its old version.
	+ Statically, but in the old version, Abyss Guardian detects better which means it would hunt a player until its death.
