Arcane Guardian

Compendium recommends being very well prepared before going up against it in battle.

Arcane Compendium Entry[]

Arcane Guardian

A mage of ancient times, the Arcane Guardian has access to a wide range of spells. From attacks to buffs to debuffs, prepare for a magical duel that will test your counterspell knowledge.

Loot[]

Like all other bosses, the Arcane Guardian drops an Infinity Orb (green), with a rare chance of either its own element, or an item called the Arcane Spellbook, which has the Soulbound enchantment, and will soon increase the effectivness of all spells cast from it.
