Guide:Dungeon Guardian strategies

The dungeon guardian is pretty much skeleton prime locked in his head spinning phase, flying incredibly fast. He can pass through all blocks, so containing him isn't an option. To kill him, you will need:


 * Wings (Any type, but ice wings are preferred)
 * A world where skeletron has NOT be defeated
 * Lots of asphalt blocks and mud
 * Vampire knives
 * A few wooden platforms
 * A shield that deflects knock back
 * Minions from the raven staff or the optic staff (Optional, but helpful)
 * Patience

The general plan is to run on asphalt in a upside down triage shape, so the guardian doesn't kill you. Place torches along the track to keep light. The track should extend INTO to dungeon There should also be a upper track and a lower starting track so you don't attract multiple dungeon guardians while fighting. Here is a full picture of a completed track and an example of a upper and lower track.



This is the upper/lower track. See how the wooden platforms are placed, allowing a one time passage through the bottom. The gaps to the far left and the bottom allow you to see when the guardian comes so you can start running.

You will start running to the right when the dungeon guardian is sighted. Run up the ramp, and fly to the left to the LOWER area of asphalt. Run up the ramp to the left and fly in a half circle out and back onto the asphalt. This is so you can dodge the guardian. Run off the top platform and land onto the ramp that leads down and to the left. Keep running and you will get back up to the middle asphalt area. All the while, throw the vampire knives at the dungeon guardian WHILE running. It is suggested to wear a shield so you don't get bumped by stray monsters. Keep going at this for a while and you will whittle his health down. You can use a minishark or a megashark, but those require ammo. If you kill it, you get an item that summons a baby skeleton head! Cute!
