The Guardian Scout IV is an enemy which appears in Breath of the Wild.

"An ancient civilisation originally designed Guardians to combat Ganon but then scaled them down to place inside 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."

— In-Game Description

They have 3,000 HP and wield a Guardian Spear++, Guardian Sword++, and an Ancient Battle Axe++. The configuration of these weapons and whether or not they also wield a Guardian Shield++ depends on the instance of this enemy you encounter. It will likely switch strategy mid-battle to catch you off guard; this can happen when its health drops to a certain amount. When it uses it's laser ability you can parry the pulse with your shield using a Perfect Guard to reflect the projectile back at the Scout.
