How can I defeat guardians in Breath Of The Wild?
Posted On: August 9, 2023

I have not been able to discover a method of defeating guardians. I have to run away every time. What are some methods to defeating these giant instant death laser creatures?


Question from user GarrettJ at stackexchange.


Answer:

Moving guardian : the player turns around the guardian, dodging its attacks, and firing explosive arrows to weaken it. Then he fires an arrow directly to its eye, which destroys it.


Immobile guardian : the player fires arrows to the guardian eye while it is preparing an attack. Then, between each guardian fire, the player hits it with his sword, until the guardian is defeated. The player will eventually dodge the guardian's attacks, as they are one-shot-attacks.


Also, it has been proven that any shield can parry a guardian laser attack back at it to defeat it. This is the quickest method, though you need good timing. Immobile guardians only require one parried attack, but mobile guardians require that you parry 3 attacks back at them.


Ancient arrows will also make short work of guardians, purchasable at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.
