Guardian Scout II Tips and Strategies

Use the Pillars to Block Its Spinning Attack

One of the guardian's first attacks that you should look out for is the spinning attack. It will jump back and from its position, begin spinning, and charge at you. Hide behind the pillars to block the attack before getting in a few hits while the guardian is staggered.

Deflect Its Short-charged Shots

The other attack that you should look out for in the beginning is the guardian's short-charged shots. Though you can dodge them easily by simply walking around, you can also deflect it back to the guardian with a perfect parry.

How to Parry (Perfect Guard)

Glide During the Spinning Laser Attack

After the guardian's health drops to about 50%, it will start spinning around while firing a laser. This will create a strong upward wind that you can glide on before approaching the guardian and landing an attack on it.

Watch Out for Its Last Resort

Once you have whittled the guardian's health down to critical level, it will start charging for several consecutive beams. Dodge these beams while trying to get close to the guardian, then quickly attack it while it's recharging. Get back when it's close to firing more beams. Repeat this process until it is defeated.

You can also try perfect parrying one of the beams to end its suffering, though you should also be careful as it can kill you instead if you fail to parry it.
