Associated Quest: Clockwork Guardians

Nightfall Sanctuary was home to the Light Stealer, the Celestial Emperor. As time went by, his trust in others began to dwindle. To ensure he could not be betrayed, he constructed an army of clockwork guardians to watch over him and his palace. These guardians were powered by the Emperor’s prized possession: the Kuranos Cube.

Upon the Emperor’s passing, his incredible power was hidden in Nightfall Sanctuary surrounded by his trusted automatons. Decades later, Chol Mugo, wielding the Kuranos Cube, awoke Nightfall Sanctuary and its guardians from their eternal slumber. The guardians have whirred back to life, and will protect their new master at all costs.

The Peacekeeper

The Peacekeeper is the first boss you’ll encounter when exploring Nightfall Sanctuary, located inside the Peaceful Burial Chamber. The Peacekeeper is made up of two deadly machines; the top half of him wielding a scepter/axe, and the beast that he rides atop. These two halves will often act independently, but at times will work in tandem to unleash devastating attacks.

The Shield Bearer

Standing tall and guarding the next area of Nightfall Sanctuary, this guardian is well equipped to handle any foes who dare threaten their new master. His large shield and lance allow him to make quick attacks while defending against incoming damage. You’ll need to coordinate to be victorious—the Shield Bearer will not go down easily.

The guarded treasures are said to be straight from the Emperor’s private vault, and would make any warrior that’s reached them rich and powerful beyond imagination. You’ll be able to pick up new elemental accessories, new Soul Shields, and even costumes and weapon illusions fit for a ruler.
