Guardian Scout III 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 its spinning attack. First, it will jump back and from its position, then 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.
Perfect Parry Its Spinning Attack
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.
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.
