Hia Miu Shrine Tips and Tricks

Perfect Parry Its Spinning Attack

As the arena lacks stone pillars, you'll have to parry the Guardian's spinning attack to stun it. 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 failed to parry it.
