Talion

The Talion is the key to unlocking the door to the Temple of Xian, in Tomb Raider II. It was stored in the Ice Palace underneath Barkhang Monastery. The Talion was guarded by an ice beast, the Guardian of the Talion.

The Guardian of the Talion

The Guardian of the Talion is a bird creature with yeti-like features you must fight at the climax of Ice Palace in Tomb Raider II.

When you fight him, you can either choose jumping around like mad, using grenades or the Uzis. However it is recommended, that you retreat to a depression, inside the temple or onto the roof of the temple from where you can take out the Guardian using pistols.

The Guardian appears in a different colour in Tomb Raider II Gold.
