This page is about Malice Guardian from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Read on to learn about how to beat Malice Guardian and which battles you can find them in.

How to Beat Malice Guardians

Relentless as a Waterfall

Dodge the Beams

You'd be better off dodging the beams than trying to parry them (if you have a shield, that is). When the Guardian's eye glows, quickly dodge to either side to avoid the attack.

You can also use abilities with iframes such as Impa's YYX combo or just the Remote Bomb rune.

Follow Rune Prompts

Again, follow the rune prompts to interrupt its attacks and expose its weak-point gauge. Keep an eye out for these prompts especially during the first encounter where you'll have a hard time dodging due to the size of the room.
