X-Blades/Stairway to Heaven (evening)

Head up the flight of stairs to the top and a single Dark Guardian will appear. The only thing you need to combat this being are light spells, preferably the Ray of Light. Also stay on the move to avoid its violet ray blasts, as they can pass through walls. When struck a few times, it will send several Dark Elementals. Although they do little damage, they attack in clusters that will hit one-by-one. It will do no good to just avoid them as they will follow until they hit their target. After a few more hits, the Guardian will split into several Elementals. Use the Ray of Light on a few, forcing them re-merge into the Guardian. Once the Guardian is defeated, collect the leftover items and exit the area.
