The Bridge Sentinel is the first boss of The Shatters.
The Realm Eye says: |

The stalwart sentinel positioned at the main gate of the Shatters was once the head of the royal guard. He was among the first to sense something wrong with his lord. When the possessed king was finally ready to launch his assault on the realm, the sentinel knew what must be done. As the crystal clear waters of the castle moat were devoured by a purple sea of Pure Evil, the sentinel jammed the drawbridge of his castle, locking the king inside. The effort was not enough to prevent the villagers of the kingdom from being consumed, but he was at least able to stop his king from reaching the realm. |

The Bridge Sentinel is found in a large chamber at the end of the Shatters’ drawbridge, which can be accessed after destroying the 8 monuments in the Derelict Village to drop the bridge. He is initially found in a kneeling stance, rising up after being approached. After a taunt, the exit to the drawbridge will be slowly sealed off, the four Paladin Obelisks around him flashing and turning gold to signify the battle’s start.
“Who goes there…? Turn back at once.”
Taunt: “Beyond this bridge is nothing but shadows. Abandon your arms and leave this place, for you will not find what you seek.”
The Bridge Sentinel will start with one of two attack cycles at random, transitioning into a random one of the two (which can be the same one) each time a cycle finishes. Each cycle consists of three attacks performed in order, with small amounts of invincibility between them:
Throughout the entire fight, the four invulnerable Paladin Obelisks around him will periodically summon claymore swords that initially spin idly around them, before launching at nearby players.
Taunt: “You have already seen what came of this place… Is this the fate you seek?”
At 80% HP, the Sentinel goes invulnerable as the four Paladin Obelisks become dark and vulnerable. Destroying one obelisk will make the others return to normal, and make the Sentinel start taking normal damage again.
Whichever obelisk is destroyed will crumble, turn purple, and stop spawning swords. That obelisk will instead start periodically summoning groups of Blobombs that follow players, flashing and exploding into short-ranged novae of purple Unstable/Silence shots on proximity or death.
Taunt: “Why is it that you still stand your ground? Do you too seek power, as did my liege?!”
At 60% HP, the obelisks go vulnerable again, requiring another one to be destroyed in order to progress the fight. When that one is destroyed, it will act as the first one did, periodically spawning groups of Blobombs.
Taunt: “Your persistence will only worsen your fate, adventurers. You are not the first to take on this accursed quest, nor will you be the last.”
At 40% HP, the Sentinel activates the remaining two obelisks, following the same formula as the last two phases. However, after the Sentinel completes his current attack cycle, he will move to the top of the bridge and darken the screen, thrusting his sword into the air and grasping it with both hands as he prepares to launch a desperation attack.
“I SHALL DEFEND THE REALM WITH MY LIFE!”
The Sentinel then changes his ordered attack cycle to the following cycle, repeated three times with slight variations:
During any of his chasing or leaping attacks, he will be destroying decoys he comes into contact with.
If he finishes three cycles, the screen will brighten and the Sentinel will start using his regular attacks again. However, his desperation cycle will now become one of his potential attack cycles when choosing one to use.
Taunt: “For the good of the realm…I must strike you down!”
At 20% HP, the final obelisk becomes vulnerable. Once that one is destroyed, the Sentinel will be left completely vulnerable for the rest of the fight, save for the brief periods between attacks.
Upon defeat, the Bridge Sentinel crumples over and finally collapses, perishing. Blobombs stop spawning and his loot is left behind as the bridge behind him opens, allowing passage into the Royal Castle.
“I tried to protect you…I have failed…”
“You release a great evil upon this realm…”

Until Release X32.4.1, the Forgotten Sentinel spawned a Test Chest which, when destroyed, provided a chance at loot. The chest has since been removed and any loot will drop directly from the boss upon its death.
Before Exalt Version 2.0.2.0 (Aug 2021), the Bridge Sentinel was named The Forgotten Sentinel and had the following sprite:
