The final boss of Generation 11. Uroborus, sometimes written as Ouroboros and also known as the Guardian of Partholon, is a symbol representing a Dragon or a serpent eating its own tail.

Notes & Advice Notes In the secret mission Guardian of Partholon its heads will have approximately five times more hp and its bodies will have approximately twenty times more hp. HP in parentheses are from Guardian of Partholon. There are 3 kinds of Fire Breath attack: Fire at one place. Sometimes all heads will fire simultaneously. This occurs often when you continually attack a single Uroborus. You can easily avoid this by moving to another place. Breathes a continuous stream of fire directly to the right, forming a rectangular shape around the battlefield. This only occurs when any head has less than 30% health. It is safer to be in the middle of a stage. Breathes a continuous stream of fire directly on the center, forming an X on the center of the battlefield. This only occurs when any head has less than 30% health. It is safer to be between the individual Uroborui, but not behind a body. All four heads different breath attacks: Red and Yellow's breath attack is stronger than the others'. Blue's breath attack is weaker than the others' but inflicts Poison Attack. White's breath attack is a wall of teeth moving in that forces impacted targets to walk. These attacks are used every few seconds, making it hard to continuously attack. It is possible to avoid these attacks by moving from the location before it hits. After a few minutes of fighting, the attack area of the breath attacks grows larger, exceeding the fireball damage area. If the player is standing next to a Uroborus body, it will attempt to swing its body in an arc in front of it, knocking players down. To defeat Uroborus, all four Uroborui must be defeated. Each Uroborui have two parts: a head and a body. The body must be defeated first, in which the Uroborui will be stunned, collapse to the ground, and allow its head to be attacked. After a few seconds, the body will heal fully and the Uroborui will rise again, forcing the process to repeat. After defeating a Uroborui's head, the entire Uroborui will turn black. However, it is not dead and will still attack. After downing a body multiple times, a shield appears around its body, reducing all damage to 1. The aura will eventually disappear on its own. Ice Spear has no effect on Uroboros. However, Ice Mines will work. Dragon Support has no effect on Uroborus. Fighter and Puppetry Skills directed to the head will attack the body instead, though the head will still take damage. Advice Continuous movement, preferably on a mount, will evade the single-fire breath attacks. Hydra Transmutation can directly hit the head and bypass its body shield.
