Blightguards are a group of Taken Knights, Taken Wizards, and Taken Ogres protect a Blight during Overthrow in The Blooming.

Gameplay

Blightguards appear in the Blooming on a path near a large red hand. Before they spawn, a massive Blight will appear, protected by regular Taken. After the first group is defeated, the Blightguard Wizard will arrive with reinforcements. Defeating the Blightguard will make it drop a ball of Taken energy, which must be picked up and thrown at the blight to weaken it. After this, the Knight will appear, which must be slain to obtain another ball to throw. At this point, the Blight will collapse, revealing the Ogre. Defeating the last Blightguard completes the event.
