How to find it

The shrine is one of the hidden ones and appears only after you complete the Sign of the Shadow shrine quest. It lies south-east of Gerudo Tower on a ledge by an exposed Sheikah platform.

Solution

Guardian Scout III

Fight the Guardian Scout III

Dodge each attack and punish with flurry rushes. It carries a sword and a spear and has 1,500 health, so expect a longer fight.

Halfway through it hunkers down and spins a laser. Back off, use the updraft and strike from above.

Finish it

Near death it charges a laser volley. If its health is low enough, rush it down; otherwise run and dodge the multiple shots.
