This variation on the Tests of Strength requires Link to demonstrate the use of various techniques, as specified by Monk Ta'loh Naeg. The [[Guardian Scout II]] in this shrine does not walk and can only attack. This Scout does not go through the aforementioned fight stages, and does not regenerate with a [[Blood Moon]] once defeated.

=====A Major Test of Strength+ (DLC)=====
This is part of [[The Champions' Ballad]] downloadable content. Link must face all types of Guardian Scouts, generally with relevant-level Guardian Weapons, while wielding the [[One-Hit Obliterator]]. This weapon locks out all other weapons (although not bows or shields) and allows him to kill any enemy with a single hit, while having his own HP locked to the minimum and thus being vulnerable to death in one hit himself.
