Sacred 2:Temple Guardian

Temple Guardian

[IMG][/IMG]

An archaic cyborg, half living creature and half machine, the Temple Guardian is gifted with the ability to modify his mechanically enhanced arm to adapt to tactical situations. He is very dangerous in close combat, but has also mastered technological weapons. Due to the nature of his origin, he can also manipulate the powerful T-Energy and use it to influence his environment. The Temple Guardian is a cyborg consisting of organic tissue and mechanic technology. He is animated by T-Energy. Due to his divine origin, he is also able to control this energy and to utilize it for his purposes. This cyborg creature’s special feature is his left arm. He is able to transform it into a variety of weapons in order to use T-Energy in all available forms during battle. Thus, the Temple Guardian is able to wield devastating melee weapons but he can also launch equally destructive ranged attacks. These abilities render him one of the most powerful beings in Ancaria.

Devout Guardian

The Temple Guardian is a cyborg and as such, a deadly, efficient and unemotional war machine. Once, he had been created to protect the Great Machine; now, he is able to inflict severe physical damage to his opponents by using T-Energy purposefully. He boasts features that no other character possesses.

• Dedicated Blow

A portion of physical damage is converted to the damage source, which the opponent has least resistance to.

• Battle Extension

An additional arm that will fell opponents during battle.

• Deathly Spears

Long spears will sprout from the Temple Guardian’s body in order to protect him from attacks within range.

• Combat Alert

Increases the attack and defense value.

• T-Energy Shroud

Raises a force field that partially absorbs incoming damage while enough energy remains to sustain the shield.
