This massive enemy has characteristics that resemble that of a [[Beamos]]. When it sees [[Link#Breath of the Wild|Link]] in the distance, its eye lights up, it charges for a few seconds, and it shoots a powerful laser beam toward him. These beams cause massive destruction and cause objects in the distance to light on fire. | This massive enemy has characteristics that resemble that of a [[Beamos]].

Guardian Stalkers have 1500 HP. | |||
Like Beamos that have appeared in modern ''Zelda'' games including ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword| Skyward Sword]]'', Link is able to defeat this massive 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. The [[Master Sword#Breath of the Wild|Master Sword]] is also a wise choice, not only for the fact that its power is elevated to 60 when near a Guardian, but also due to Link being able to destroy the creature's legs, immobilizing it. However, this can be done with any sharp weapon. | Like Beamos that have appeared in modern ''Zelda'' games including ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword| Skyward Sword]]'', Link is able to defeat this massive creature by shooting its eye with the use of a [[Breath of the Wild Bows|Bow]] and [[Arrow]].

Successfully cutting each leg of the Stalker will shave off 100 HP from it regardless of the power of the weapon or any bonuses or buffs from armor or consumables. | ||
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 deal significant damage to the enemy (this method can be done with any shield, regardless of the durability or defense value). It takes three successful parries to take down a Guardian Stalker. Link should be wary though, since if he fails to Perfect Guard, the laser may still hit him and cause devastating damage, or it may hit his shield and can possibly destroy the shield with a single shot. | 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 deal significant damage to the enemy (this method can be done with any shield, regardless of the durability or defense value).

The [[Ancient Shield]], which can be purchased at the [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]], can directly reflect the Guardian's beams back to their eye without the need to perform a Perfect Guard, but at the cost of the shield's durability. | The [[Ancient Shield]], which can be purchased at the [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]], can directly reflect the Guardian's beams back to their eye without the need to perform a Perfect Guard, but at the cost of the shield's durability. | ||
If turned over, Guardian Stalkers are also vulnerable if hit in the blue engine underneath them, which has similar vulnerabilities as their eye. | |||
