Biography[]
After obtaining the shovel from The Great Flocci, the player can dig under sand while also gaining access to a ladder. The player and Calypso climb the ladder to be met with Captain Trotter. In the room, there is a hieroglyph Captain Trotter is curious about and asks Calypso what it meant. Calypso states that it's just a hieroglyph hinting to a guardian of the temple. The three move forwards until they reach a bridge, where they are ambushed by the Temple Guardian, which breaks the bridge. This initiates a battle between the Temple Guardian and the player and Calypso with Captain Trotter falling in the background. After the player and Calypso defeat the Temple Guardian, the three fall in the Red Sun River Zone where the Temple Guardian and the rest of Captain Trotter's crew dies, making him slowly lose his sanity.
The Temple Guardian can be refought on the forty-eighth of The Pit alongside Fear. (previously Captain Trotter) However, this doesn't affect the storyline whatsoever.
