Maestro Evengarde Rest is the master of the Temple of the Blade and the current Maestro of Etrea. A powerful individual, he will train and assist only those who he sees fit, so that Etrea, its people and its culture may not be swept away in the machinations of other nations.
Upon challenging Maestro Evengarde Rest to a fight, the player is transported to the Temple Sparring Hall dungeon. Winning the fight will allocate the player a chest of rewards. If it is his first defeat, a guaranteed smaller chest will spawn, holding a unique weapon based on what weapon type you are using; (Purple Cloud for medium, Pale Briar for heavy, Cerulean Thread for light). Losing will cause the player to lose a life and gain the Disgraced flaw (which can be removed by eventually defeating him). After beating Evengarde once, you will not gain the Disgraced flaw upon further losses.
Maestro Evengarde Rest is a rather straightforward fight compared to most other bosses, opting out of any gimmicks or puzzles and instead being a simple duel. A decent mastery of how to parry trade with humanoid NPCs is required to resist his attacks.
Despite his loot-pool's variety and size, he will mainly drop Enchant Stones, and good starred equipment, though farming him for relics such as Sinner's Ash may prove faster than farming Duke Erisia due to the ease and speed of accessing his fight.
