They are first seen in Eventide protecting the entrance to the Deep Stone Crypt with Shrapnel Launchers. Later during the sparrow encounter, Guards with Molten Welders will spawn to eliminate the Guardians and bombard them with Solar blasts.

In the later encounters the Guards will spawn with Arc Shock Blades to protect Atraks-1 and Taniks, the Abomination. Due to their high durability, a Heavy Sword such as Falling Guillotine is recommended to eliminate the Guards.
