异界尊师守护者

The 异界尊师守护者 are four map bosses from the War for the Atlas storyline, who each drop a different map fragment that is required to fight 异界尊师. They are the guardians of the The Elder.

Mechanics

A Elder-influenced map of Tier 14 or higher can be occupied by one of the Guardians. The map boss is replaced with the Guardian. Approaching the map boss will spawn a portal leading to the Guardian's arena, chosen at random out of three possible arenas for each Guardian. They will be affected by the map's modifiers.

The boss fight is split into three phases. At 2/3 and 1/3 health remaining, the arena switches locations. Each arena contains different stage hazards.

Upon slaying the boss, they will drop a Map fragment. Open a complete set of fragments in the map device can open portals to fight 异界尊师.

Notes

  • Defeating an Elder Guardian does not count towards map completion.[confirmation needed]

Lore

Elder Guardians are the side-bosses that aid 异界尊师, akin to Shaper Guardian. During War for the Atlas and Betrayal expansions, in order to beat 终极异界尊师, the player need to spread Elder influence to Shaper Guardian Maps (which at that time on the Atlas at the centre) first to convert them to Elder Guardian Maps (the base map is still the Shaper Guardian Map) and beat all 4 of them to convert 塑者之界 into Uber Elder variant of the area.

However, due to the introduction of Conquerors of the Atlas expansion, such end-game lore is rewritten by the game developer. Instead of the player as the protagonist to beat the Elder, Shaper and their guardians , another group of NPC / exiles, known as Elderslayers / Conquerors beat the Elder instead. Elderslayers themselves also turn into new villain in the expansion. To fill the plot hole that how the player can still enter and play the Elder Guardian Map (Shaper Guardian Map as well), new Zana voiceline was added:

You must think me a fool for taking so long to understand just how mad the Elderslayers have become, but... you don't know what we were up against. 
Look, I'm going to show you a memory of a battle against one of the Elder's guardians. Perhaps then you'll see why it wasn't so clear.

- Zana

The next annual expansion, Echoes of the Atlas, add 释界 as new end-game boss, which she has the ability to clone bosses to her crucible. A new atlas region, The Uncharted Realms, was added to the game as well. Elder Guardians is the objective of 释界之邀:扭曲.

These new lore explain the in-game reappearance of Elder Guardian as map boss, which the atlas and the Maven has ability to clone it.
