Many players know of the Pentagon simply as something to be slain for a slight XP boost, the Crashers as nuisances that pester the wanderers of the Pentagon Nest, the Alpha Pentagons as a huge prize to be destroyed before anyone else can... but the Guardian of the Pentagons is no pushover.

This Boss is a positively gigantic Crasher outfitted with a single Spawner that pumps out miniature versions of the pink triangular pests at a terrifyingly fast rate. It patrols the exterior of the map, constantly looping around in the same circuler pattern. If it sights a Tank above level 15, it will command its Crasher army to swarm the unfortunate individual, leaving them to die of a thousand cuts. Three times as tough as an Alpha Pentagon, it takes a monumental effort to bring the Guardian down. Being a Polygon, don't expect it to get hurt by a fellow Polygon or to hurt any Polygons.

The Guardian has a chance of appearing 10-14 minutes after a server starts, and 15-24 minutes after the fall of another Boss. Its field of view is slightly larger than that of a Hunter's, making it hard to escape from. If a player successfully escapes the Guardian's sight, its Crasher army will stop chasing its target. Its immense recoil gifts it a significant speed boost when summoning its army. It cannot target invisible Tanks, however, and for some reason does not target any Tanks under level 15 unless it attacks first. All of this power does come at a price; the Boss has a bounty on its head of a whopping 30,000 XP to the player who slays it.

Taking down the Guardian of the Pentagons is tough, but if it can be taken down the XP it rewards is most certainly worth it. While it is possible to defeat it alone, this is a very hard task, so it is recommended to bring a team of players with you. Although its maximum amount of Crashers it can control at any time is 24, their numbers can be replenished almost instantly, so don't try to waste time killing the Guardian's Crashers. Tanks with a powerful Bullet or a wide spread can shut down the pest swarm and damage the Guardian itself at the same time, while Tanks with enough damage per second such as Triplets and Gunners, while unable to hurt the Guardian while dealing with its Crashers, can defend themselves from the swarm should the need arise. Do try to avoid the Guardian if using a ramming build or if your Bullets aren't very powerful or numerous, as the titan's swarm will quickly cut you down.
