Chapter 4 · Temple of the Red Sun
How to beat Temple Guardian
Reward: Firebrand progression
Temple Guardian waits at the end of the Temple of the Red Sun puzzle chain. Finish orb, sequence, and mirror rooms first, then enter with full HP and a stocked inventory.
Phase one is a single massive target with wide sweeps—longer defend windows reward patience. At ~50% HP both hands detach and act independently while the body keeps swinging.
Focus the hand that begins charging first; defend against the other’s wide arc. Deep Focus + SP Saver help in long fights; Aggressor speeds phase one if you already cleared Finn McCool.
