Unless he absolutely does know which way is west because he has, like, gone outside at least once. Or owns a compass.
Sounds like we're making a lot of modifications to the setting here, but that would require the other guard to also not know because he actually doesn't. If either of them makes a definitive answer which you can then verify, then you can solve it.
The part about not being able to see the sun is almost certainly true, though, and the usual premise of the riddle is that one of them ONLY tells the truth and one ONLY lies.
As such, either you're in something as implausible as a dungeon with a skylight or that guard is the truth teller.
