Guard or Dodge the Beams

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity - Guard Beam Attack

The Battle-Tested Guardian makes use of a variety of beam attacks, most of which can be blocked or dodged. If you cannot dodge at the right time, press and hold the ZL button to guard against the attack.

Do Not Parry Its Beam Attack

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity - Do Not Parry the Beam Attack

Unlike other Guardians, the Battle-Tested Guardian is immune against the shield parry. Doing so only causes the boss to deflect the beam towards your direction.

Use the Statis Rune When Its Weak-Point Gauge is Exposed

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity - Statis Rune

The boss may sometimes perform moves that cause its Weak-Point Gauge to be exposed. Use this opportunity to use the Statis Rune to break its Weak-Point Gauge and perform a Weak-Point Smash.

How to Perform a Weak-Point Smash

Run Back When the Orange Circle Appears

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity - Run Back when an Orange Circle Appears
