The Guardian Scout I is the smallest and weakest of the four shrine Guardians. It carries no weapon and relies on a laser, and it has only 13 health, so a single arrow into its eye or one reflected beam destroys it.

Behavior

It walks toward you on its legs, locks its eye on you and fires a red laser after a short charge. Keep out of the line of the beam and it has little else to threaten you with.

How to beat it

Reflect the laser

When the eye glows and the charge tone rises, raise a shield and press the guard button just as the beam arrives. The parried beam flies back and destroys the Scout.

Shoot the eye

If you have no shield, nock an arrow and hit the eye from range. One hit is enough.

Strike it up close

Any melee weapon also does the job. Step aside as it charges, then hit the body once or twice.
