Help for killing the Guardian at the gate

[ally17]

Can someone give me a few hints on killing the guardian in the dome, I'm stuck there, no matter which guns, which way I go I just keep getting killed, ps I'm not a young gamer. I've watched one you tube video on it but I cant move around that fast .............

Do you mean boss where you need to shoot barrel looking things when he is near them to stun him?

If yes then just hide behind cover and peak to see when he is near shock thingy and shoot it.

Once he is down shoot his blinking weakspot on his back like 5 times and then run to opposite side cover and wait till he gets close to another stun thingy.

There is no point in shooting him at all if he is not stunned.

So just keep circling arena from cover to cover and shoot stun thingies stunning boss.

Dont try to rush it and shoot him while he is stunned too long. Just chip his hp little by little.

Stun -> 5 shots -> next cover -> stun -> 5 shots...

Ya, just did this battle if you're talking about the desert red robot boss - like WF mentioned, lots of running around - to avoid his artillery, run and double-jump and that should help you avoid taking as much damage.

Beyond that, I would use my assault rifle to shoot the blueish barrel things as he walked near them, then quickly switch to my shotgun while he is stunned, run behind him and unload a handful of quick shots at his weakpoint and then run for the hills to create distance. Reload weapons and repeat the process until you win.

okay thanks guys will try that I was shooting the blue barrels but maybe staying to long, and yes I was shooting him while he was standing ....... oops.

I still can't get it. On about my 20th attempt. Super annoying, not fun. **Finally got past the first wave of attackers maybe 25 minutes after posting this, and my god what a torture that was. The torpedo men are bad enough on their own....

Hi, Torpedo are going to be fixed in todays update. For the boss - you need to shoot in the blue generator (there are 3-4 on the arena). Whenever the boss is near them. It's going to stun gim. Then go around him and shoot at his back at the weak point.

Hi Devs yeah I'm doing that but he doesn't stay for long enough I get 4 shots off and he come back to life, he is also sliding towards me (not walking sliding at me) it seems to be when I use the shift key, I'm on try 20 this is not fun :-( ......

Well after 30 go's and a change of weapon, and advice from players I finally killed him :-)
That was stressful ..... thanks Guys .....

I'm happy you were able to do that :) However if you shoot at generator and stun him it should be way easier to kill him.

Hi Devs just an update, I have finish the game and really like what you have done, but I did have some issues when fighting this boss/guardian for some reason after shooting the blue barrels and he went down on one knee as I started shooting him he would slide at me (still on one knee) until he was over the top of me, I even had a couple of times I was pulled towards him while he was on one knee.
The other issue I had was on the planet with the drones on red wires and missiles.
I destroyed the pillars out of order top one then bottom one (shield came down) but I went back up to the one with the boxes and completed that, but then I could not go though as the shield was back up but all pillars were destroyed, so I reverted to an early save with only 2 pillars and just jumped through .......... bit long winded I know ....

I had the slide thing happen as well. Once with the guardian, and on several occasions I was also slid/thrown across the arena. It was actually one of the things that allowed me to finally beat that part, because it threw me so far away that I was no longer in the warpath. I also found that another way to chill out for a few seconds while also knocking a few health points off the guardian was to go real close and low and shoot him from between his legs. Many times it would blow me up, but sometimes it gave me a much needed break in the action. I eventually beat it was really difficult and really tried my patience and felt like a partial victory because the winning pass exploited that slide bug.

Equip the pistol and don't reload while running if you need to get farther away from it, you will run faster this way. Circle around the big structure, luring it toward a generator (machine with glowing blue orb). Shoot the genny when it's near it, then run to the back of the Guardian and shoot the bluish glowing item on it's back while it's stunned.

Rinse and repeat this. I recommend as well when other bots spawn in running to the far right from where you came in, to use the large structure there for cover from the Guardian while you shoot the other bots. It's an easy fight really if you use these methods. There are also other places to grab ammo other than this second structure I mentioned.

This "Boss" is stopping me from playing the game. hes always hit me with the grenades, how fast i run, nothing helps. i used the stun things, stunned him, shoot a few - and run away for cover, but hes always hit me, wherever i search for cover. and after hit him a few times, the robots spawn and kill me again.

frustating.

i think, hes to strong for this point of the game - and im playing shooter games since 25 years.

When you're running from him, double-jump. That'll help you avoid damage while you get some cover.
