The ring guardians ?

[Powersword]

Just wondering if its possible to kill them? tried everything I can think of..

[[Mi.Sa]Skullduggery]

Yeah you can kill those guardians you just got to kite them, half of the time I don't realise I've killed them and have to backtrack for their eggs. Are you just beelining for the rings/metaglio? If you are it would explain the struggle.

Don't pick mad groove as your first arcana unless you got some move speed. xD

[Powersword]

I guess you don't need to kill them? I've had a try but their HP seems pretty high. I normally just run past them. got the 120/120 achievements but seems strange nothing mentioned about killing them

If you use it, they won't spawn until you pick the items up. So you can safely use it, just don't pick up items until your build is ready.

That has not always been true, if it is now for the new patch I am not sure yet. They spawned on me for getting near the items. I didn't have to touch them. If it WAS always this way, then it was bugged out since picking mad groove would suck everything into a circle around me and that would include the 4 guardians at once before I even moved. I really hope it's fixed because I like using mad groove to suck certain items up on some maps to get a quick start on my intended build.

Dunno if it used to suck out the guardian, but they do Telleport when you take the item.
Howether they do Teleport, not spawn.

I don't know if they would agro you from the whole map (that would require to never touch the item but stay in place as an AFK build) , but if you go near the item, then start going toward the original place of the ring/metaglio (says, far-left or far-right for the library) , eventually you will meet the guardian that are walking toward you.

So I would argue that Mad Grove attract the item and do activate the guardian, but they don't attract the guardian themselve. So if you go near the item maybe at one point the guardian will reach out to you.
Touching the item (where ever you discard or take them) would insta-Tp the guardian to your position tho'.

The seem to guard the area around where the items spawn.

If you use the arcana that teleports stage items, they will teleport over when you interact with the item, but aren't near it.

And yes, you can kill them, they just have a lot of health.

Seems to be the case. I was doing a run in Gallo Tower and they were hanging around near the items. I did another run in Inlaid Library and used Mad Groove and all the items came to me and I didn't notice any guardians teleporting to me until I actually picked up the items.

I mean, it's not only possible, it's relatively easy. Just keep hitting them until they die. It takes a while but it's not like you can't outrun them.

They have a lot of HP which scales with player level and Curse. Something like 35000 at level 1.
With high Curse they can quickly become an inescapable death sentence since their damage is also high, they're knockback immune, and can only be frozen by the pickup item.

Mad Groove won't pull them until you pick up their associated item. This is good since Yellow Sign permanently unlocks those items, but places them out of your way. If they aggro'd from Mad Groove, the arcana would lose its value for some runs.

The easiest way to kill the guardians is with the spicy food. The flamethrower is massively more powerful than any other weapon and will kill them pretty quickly even with their hefty stats. Otherwise, just kite them until you complete Infinite Corridor and that'll take care of them after a bit.
