The Castellan occupies the great hall of Last Lantern Keep. Its crown-like silhouette, glowing core and visible boss health bar distinguish it from the smaller Sentinels stationed elsewhere in the fortress.
Each attack crosses the front in three deliberate sectors rather than one simultaneous swing. The order reverses on the next attack. After the third sector, the Castellan lowers its pose and armor for recovery. It drops a Foundry Hammer; the Seal of the Last Keeper is found separately in the Keep’s reward chest.
Place in the story
The Castellan guards the keep where the story’s two impulses meet: shutting others out and opening the gates again. The final chapter admits that hospitality was narrowed until the lights served only those inside. Enna’s nearby order and the unsent message both ask that other people be let through.
That clash gives the encounter its story context, but the writings give the Castellan no biography or earlier identity. Defeating it does not resolve the missing keeper’s fate. The Seal is a separate trophy in the keep, not proof of a revealed identity or a triggered restoration ending.
