Esfera Guardian is the Arcane River Special Content located near the Esfera region. To participate, talk to Shubert at the Base Camp. Esfera Guardian can only be attempted alone, and you will have 3 clears per week, meaning that you can reattempt or reset a run that you've already entered. Esfera Guardian has a recommended Arcane Power of 640.

Destroy the Twisted Dimensional Gates that have appeared in Esfera using Shubert's Special Turret!

Map

Esfera Guardian

Esfera Guardian only has one map, with a time limit of 40 minutes. The objective is to destroy all 10 Twisted Dimensional Gates (displayed in red on the minimap) in varying sizes that are throughout the right side. To destroy them, you must fill up the Erda Gauge by defeating the Light and Dark Executors on the left side of the map; you are allowed to fill up the gauge and hold up to 10 Erda Shells at a time. After gathering Erda, you can press the Sit key near Shubert's Special Turret to use it. While sitting on the turret, you can press the Up and Down arrows to change the angle of the shot, the Shift key + arrow keys to move the camera, and the Spacebar to fire your shot.

The turret itself will allow you to use one of two shots. The first shot fires the Erda Shell, activated by pressing the A key, costing 1 slot on the Erda Gauge and firing the shot in a parabolic curve. The second shot fires the Super Erda Shell, activated by pressing the S key, costing 3 slots on the Erda Gauge and indicating the direction of the shot beforehand, which will fire in a straight line. If you spend at least 3 minutes inside the map, the Executors will begin to drop Shubert's Support Shot at a low rate, which will instantly destroy 2 random Twisted Dimensional Gates upon pickup.

Upon successfully destroying all 10 Twisted Dimensional Gates, you will be taken to the Reward Stage.

Note: there are only 2 possible patterns for the locations of the Twisted Dimensional Gates, meaning that the gates will always be in the same spots within these 2 patterns. A cheat sheet can be found here.

Reward Stage

Esfera Guardian Exit Map

This stage serves to give your rewards. If you successfully complete Esfera Guardian, you will obtain EXP and Arcane Symbol: Esfera. If you fail, you will be given no rewards, but the run will not count toward your weekly completions.

Rewards

Upon completing Esfera Guardian, you will receive Arcane Symbol: Esfera x 40 in the form of usable vouchers. Additionally, you can choose to receive 1,161,754,860 EXP, up to 3 times per week per world.

You can also immediately complete weekly runs for every additional area you complete in Arcane River.

  • When Moonbridge is completed, you will be able to immediately complete 1 run to receive the Symbols instantly.
  • When Labyrinth of Suffering is completed, you will be able to immediately complete 2 runs to receive the Symbols instantly.
  • Note that the EXP reward will NOT be given if you choose to immediately complete the run.
