The Ancient G.A.R.D. Construct (Slicer) is a combat construct of the Ancient Constructs. It is the Slicer version of the G.A.R.D., the Guarding and high Alert Resolution Defender. Each arm carries a long gold blade beside a claw of thin metal fingers. A curved gold crest with a round lens sits on top of its round blue-grey body. It guards the Gardens Of Earthly Delights, the Proto Vessel Bay and the beacon dungeons of Cinder's Cradle.

Where to Find the Ancient G.A.R.D. Construct (Slicer)

It lives in Cinder's Cradle. It is met at Gardens Of Earthly Delights, the Proto Vessel Bay, Manathor's Plaza, the Engine Chambers and the Veilwater Basin Dungeon Entrance.

Behaviour

Artificer Constantio built the G.A.R.D. to defend Ancient sites when an alarm is raised. The Slicer fights up close with its arm blades. Some stand dormant until an alarm wakes them. It is one of the elite constructs that can drop an Archaic Core.

Notes

The Slicer is one of three G.A.R.D. forms. The Ancient G.A.R.D. Construct (Burner) resists fire better than any other construct. The Ancient G.A.R.D. Construct (Dozer) walks on long, spider-like legs and only guards the Sky Islands. The Slicer is the close-combat member of the family, with a long gold blade on each arm. It also guards the Gardens Of Earthly Delights, the garden island of Elder Claravinta. All three forms are elite constructs that can drop an Archaic Core.
