The Ancient Guardian is a boss in Minecraft Dungeons. It can be found in the Abyssal Monument mission and in The Tower. It is the sole boss of the Hidden Depths DLC.
It is a gigantic, darkened, and purple variant of the normal Guardian.
The ancient guardian, as its name implies, is the oldest guardian of the Abyssal Monument. After the shattering of the Orb of Dominance, one of its shards landed within the Hidden Depths, corrupting the ancient guardian.
With its newfound power, the ancient guardian was emboldened and empowered. The shard of the Orb of Dominance attempted to use it to spread its corruption, but it was bested by heroes journeying the ocean's depths.
In the Abyssal Monument, the ancient guardian has a unique spawning cinematic where it breaks through a wall in the structure.
When the hero reaches the arena, the ancient guardian enters by bursting through a wall. After taking notable damage, it can swim away from the arena to avoid further damage. In addition, it has five attacks:
Spike attack
The ancient guardian can attack nearby heroes or summons by piercing them with its spikes, which creates a high-damage shockwave.
Spike protection
The ancient guardian sometimes pops out its spikes as a means of defense. Attacking it with a melee weapon results in the attacker taking some damage back in a similar manner to the Thorns enchantment.
Laser attack
The ancient guardian is capable of firing a yellow beam at its target, which behaves the same way as its weaker counter parts but deals more damage. After doing this attack, the ancient guardian retracts its spikes, and can be attacked without suffering thorns damage.
Summon minions
The ancient guardian can summon guardians to assist itself during battle. It usually summons about three guardians near a hero, but this attack sometimes summons an elder guardian instead. It cannot summon elder guardians if there already is one alive.
Summon biomines
The ancient guardian summons 3-5 biomines that explode shortly afterward, although it cancels this attack after becoming sufficiently damaged. When the biomines explode, they leave behind a temporary poison cloud that deals continuous damage to nearby heroes or summons.

A fake ancient guardian is the version of the boss that is seen before the boss fight.
Attacking the fake ancient guardian eventually results in it disappearing and dropping an item from the Abyssal Monument loot table.
