How to Unlock Guardian Raids in Lost Ark?
Here's how to unlock the Guardian raids in Lost Ark:
1). You will first need to be Level 50 before you can even think about trying to unlock Guardian Raids.
2). You will want to head over to North Vern and complete the Guardian Raid Qualification Certificate guide quest.
3). In Vern Castle, you'll find the Guardian Raid Certificate Qualification test, asking you to speak with Raid Manager Seifeltz.
4). It's a straightforward quest that ends after signing the certificate.
5). After doing this, you'll be able to queue up for a Guardian Raid at the icon that looks like a red banner in any significant hub city.
6). When you hover over it with your mouse, the icon will say Guardian Raid.
How to Complete Guardian Raids in Lost Ark?
Here's how to complete Guardian Raids in Lost Ark:
1). Before you begin, you'll be given the option to harvest the boss' soul or not. Doing so will give you much more loot, but you can only do this twice daily.
2). For defeating the boss, your group will need to coordinate to counter the Guardian's mechanics and beat the boss.
3). The daily limit to grind on Guardian raids is two. Failure of the challenge will not count towards your daily limit. You will be able to reset and retry to complete the raids.
4). As you start the raid, your team will receive three respawns with a tickling twenty-minute timer. The raid will fail if your team doesn't survive after three respawns.
5). You won't have every tier of the Guardian Raids unlocked when you start, so you will need to complete all of the Guardian Battles within each tier before moving on to the next.
6). You may need to challenge a Raid several times before success, especially at higher levels. Guardian Raids have a 20-minute limit, and it takes roughly 15 minutes to defeat some of the bosses. More powerful foes also have a teleport skill that moves them elsewhere on the battlefield and makes it take even longer. Take a Flare or two with you to create tracking it down easier.
7). Finally, make sure to challenge Guardians with a party of other players. Unless you're at a substantially higher level than the Guardian itself, you'll be hard-pressed to complete the Raid within the time limit.
Rewards for Completing Guardian Raids
After you have successfully slain the Guardian, you can harvest their souls to receive the loot:
• Tier 1: Jewelry, Stone Fragments, Ability Stones, Class Engraving Books (Uncommon and Rare), Galewind Rune (Uncommon).
• Tier 2: Jewelry, Stone Fragments, Ability Stones, Class Engraving Books (Uncommon and Rare), Galewind Rune (Rare).
