The Vault Protector
In its shield

The Vault Protector is a Dwarven Centurion that serves as the second boss of Frostvault. It will encase itself in a glass prism and activate a searing ray trap, though the lazers can be avoided by hiding behind its shield. It can also summon other automatons, which should be killed before being allowed to charge up.

At 80%, 60%, 40% and 20% health, the boss will run to the center of the arena, summon a shield around itself and activate Searing Ray Traps. The number of rays increases as the boss's health drops.

Searing Rays
These rays deal very high flame damage to anyone touching it, this is lethal on veteran mode. To avoid the rays, simply jump over, roll through, or use the boss's shield to block them for you. The end of the beam with the red bloom effect is opposite to the emitter and is the side of the boss that you need to hide behind.
Shield Shock
Standing inside the boss's shield will deal high shock damage. Avoid doing this.
Summon Volatile Sphere[verification needed — I have never seen this recently, esp after the frostvault rebalance]
Smaller rolling spheres will appear and travel slowly towards the opposite wall. Touching them will deal moderate shock damage and stun you.
