Location: Data Hub Core

The Corrupted Guardian Alpha is your first major boss, encountered at the end of Chapter 1. It's a large, heavily armored automaton with powerful melee attacks and a devastating 'Energy Pulse' ability.

Phases & Attacks:

• Phase 1 (100%-50% HP):
  • Ground Slam: Charges and slams its fist, creating a small AoE. Dodge sideways.
  • Energy Swipe: A wide, sweeping melee attack. Parry if possible, otherwise dodge backward.
  • Energy Pulse (Charged): Charges a glowing orb, then releases a slow-moving projectile. Dodge through it or sprint to the side.
• Phase 2 (50%-0% HP): Gains new attacks and increased aggression.
  • Dual Slam: Performs two consecutive ground slams. Dodge twice.
  • Rapid Swipes: A faster, three-hit melee combo. Requires precise parries or multiple dodges.
  • Overload Pulse: Releases multiple smaller energy projectiles in a cone. Stay at mid-range and dodge between them.

Weaknesses & Strategy:

The Guardian Alpha is vulnerable to 'Shock' damage. If you have any 'Shock Infusion' weapon mods, equip them. Its back is its weakest point; try to bait its attacks, dodge behind it, and unleash a 'Heavy Energy Blade' combo. The 'Chronos Module' (if acquired early) can be used to slow its movements during its charged attacks, giving you more time to react. Focus on parrying its melee attacks to create openings for counter-damage. Reward: 'Guardian Core Processor', unlocks 'Heavy Armor' schematics.
