Location:  Meso 42k, 65k     - Ridle
There is a building with 4 doors leading into it.  Each guarded by red and purp mobs.  The tablet is inside a box in the building, but there is more than one box... its like treasure island where mobs pop from the boxes.   Nov 7

The Guardian lies to you. When she says she is weak to something, she is actually immune to it.  Feb 10 2004

Done it with <6> ,3 animists,druid,bard,hero.
Once you get into centre of room but shrooms ontop of middle chest ,and healers one side animsit other side ,put spread so not all are ae`d. Hero opens middle chest, guardians spwns, spam heals who ever gets aggro usually healer have hero gaurd, took few seconds with all the shrooms to take down.   May 17 2004

We attempted this last night with two groups.  The entrances to the Library are guarded N-E-S-W by two purple triton guards (at each entrance).  They do not BAF, so just pull the first one out and kill, then drag the second one inside the Library, as they have a pretty fast repop.
 
Once in the Library, stay away from the walls, or you'll aggro the guards on the outside.
 
There are five chests on the floor.  Have a single person (still grouped - we used a warrior) pick a chest and open it.  If it is the wrong chest, the opener will get a hefty chunk of damage and a purple triton will pop.  Defeat the purple normally.
 
When you get the right chest, the quest mob will pop.  She will do two things: heal herself if you hit her with either a certain kind of damage (or *possibly* being a certain class), or split in two and spawn a new Guardian.
 
The Guardian advertises that she is weak to a certain type of weapon or magic, but meleeing/casting that damage type on her causes her to heal...  Also, she appears to "come out of the box" resistant to two forms of damage (one melee, one magic) which can cause auto heals and splits without prior warning.  Weapon procs, armor procs, and style effects may also cause her to heal/split.
 
You may need to kill the splits before you can damage her again.
 
Do not /stick the Guardian as she'll swim to the exits of the library every now and then, which can aggro the outside guards.     Nov 15

Tips:

when she says she's weak to cold, she's really weak to spirit....
I was smackn her with my Smiter for around 200 a swing, thurg usen spirit dd and gettn same result... she goes down fast like this....   Apr 11 2004

 When it says weak to heat, its really weak to cold.
When it says weak to cold, earth spec gtae(matter) shows no resists however fire and cold spells cause it to split and heal.  Mar 16 2004

Its a very difficult encounter that pushes the limits of a good group and often takes 2.   Jan 13
We used 2 animists yes, but the last time we killed him he was immune to energy damage until 25% so MW didn't do jack crap. I actually didnt even use mine. That was a pure 1 group kill. Heal and power fields make it a LOT easier.   Jan 18

OK this was REALLY odd, dunno if it's a seroius bug or just whatever, but here's what happened:
1 - We had 16 people.  One warrior opened up 3 treasures chests, all with the aggro mobs.
2 - Finally guardian came out.  We zerged him, and then when he was at around 95% we aggroed two guards.  We started zerging the guards, the guardian left (none of us quite remember HOW but all of a sudden someone said "Umm where's the guardian?"), and after we finished killing the guards, one of them dropped the Tablet of Atlantis...
3 - We laughed our arses off all the way to the guild meeting.   May 4 2004

If you're unfortunate enough to wipe and have to try this more than once, I believe I found the order in which the correct chest rotates.  Unconfirmed, but this is what it was last night.
South
North
East
West
Center
So if she pops out of the eastern chest, you wipe and come back, I believe you'll find her in the western chest the next time.  May 18 2004

We dropped the guardian using a gaggle of Wizards and Theurgists.  Only 1 had MW, so it's not a prerequisite.  Just wait until the mob says it is weak to heat, then everyone who has a Cold-based nuke goes to town.  We had a Sorc spamming cold debuff as well.   Feb 24

 We did this encounter last night. The first time we got rolled when the guardian was at about 40%. The next time we did it, we assigned 1 group to deal with the adds and everyone else staying on the guardian. Having 3 theurgists and a ml8 perfector there helped a ton. Mob dropped pretty quickly actually. The splits that happen do self heal so they were a pain.  Feb 3
