Guardian Skywatcher: Difference between revisions

}}

This type of Guardian battles air-borne, which can make this particular enemy difficult to defeat, as [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link's]] offensive options are narrowed down. They fly around an assigned path, shining a spotlight on the ground below. If Link enters this spotlight, the Skywatcher will activate, and, as with other Guardians, will begin charging its laser beam. Design-wise, they resemble [[Guardian Turret]]s with propellers.

Like [[Beamos]] that have appeared in modern ''Zelda'' games including ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', Link is able to defeat this creature by shooting its eye with the use of a [[Breath of the Wild Bows|Bow]] and [[Arrow]]. [[Ancient Arrow]]s in particular are very powerful against these enemies, since one successful shot to the eye will take it down instantly. When defeated, they will fall to the ground and explode as with any other enemy.

Other strategies that can be used to defeat Guardians include utilizing the [[Perfect Guard]] ability, where Link can deflect the Guardian's laser with his shield at the right moment to take down the enemy upon three successful deflects. Link should be wary though, since if he fails to Perfect Guard, the laser may still hit him and cause significant damage. However, the lasers deflected by the [[Perfect Guard]] may not always hit or do full damage, as opposed to other guardians, as Skywatchers are constantly swaying around. Sometimes, the laser will clip the Skywatcher and not do complete damage.
