| An Ancient civilization originally designed Guardians to combat Ganon but then scaled them down to place in shrines as part of the trials. This model is very resilient and has been outfitted with triple-blade functionality, allowing it to wield three weapons. This will put any would-be hero to the test for sure. A great deal of strength and confidence alike are required to contend with one of these. | |

One of the guardian's first attacks that you should look out for is its spinning attack. It will jump back and from its position, it will start spinning and charge at you. Hide behind the pillars to block the attack before getting in a few hits while the guardian is staggered.
Alternatively, you can parry its spinning attack. It takes some practice though and blocking its attack can quickly lower the durability of your shield. It's best to use a Guardian-type Shield against it as it has higher resistance to attacks from Guardians.
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.
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 failto parry it.
