Guardians in Minecraft: fighting tips
Fast, strong, deadly - the guardian in Minecraft is one of the most aggressive and dangerous monsters in the game. In this article, we will tell you exactly how he behaves and which tricks you use to defeat him in battle.
Minecraft: Guardian's behavior and attack
The Minecraft Guardians only appear in and around ocean monuments. You can differentiate between two different types of guard:
- The normal guardian can appear anywhere in and around the ocean monuments. He has 15 life points.
- The large guardian species, on the other hand, only occurs three times in an ocean monument. It appears in various places such as the main chamber or the column room. The Groß-Kächter each have 40 life points.
- Both monsters attack players and squid. You can move both under water and on land. When they get into their field of vision, they send out a magnetic beam that extends up to 14 blocks. Initially the beam is blue, but then changes to a yellow color after a few seconds. From this point on, the guardian causes damage.
- Particularly nasty: in a radius of around 50 blocks around the ocean monument, the guardian can appear to you as a ghost and enchant your character with an inhibition of degradation. Then all blocks can only be removed very slowly.
Defeat Minecraft Guardians: The Best Battle Tips
- There are only two ways to escape the guardian's beam: either swim far enough away or hide behind solid blocks such as earth, stone or sand.
- Since you move particularly slowly in the water, close combat is very difficult. So it's best to use a bow and arrow to damage the Guardian.
- It is best to use the drink of speed and water breathing. So you can move faster under water and no longer have to show up to take a breath. Strong armor is of course also essential.
- You can also use a fishing rod in shallow water to pull the guard out of the water. Then fight him with a sword.
In addition to the Guardian, the Ender dragon is also a very dangerous monster. If you want to fight this one too, you first have to find a fortress and then teleport to the "End".
