Muck: How to cheese the Guardian Statues

The Guardians are arguably the hardest boss in the game, and defeating all the of the Guardian Statues can be difficult. In this guide, I will show a technique which I believe I’ve come up with myself for fighting the Guardian Statues both easily and systematically.

The Technique is very simple. All you do is build an enclosure around the statue with four walls and some stairs like this:

From there, activate it without falling in. (If you fall in the enclosure, there’s not much you can do other than hold down the left mouse button and pray you don’t die. Perhaps you can come up with a better design which would solve this problem.) The Guardian will spawn right where the statue is and will not be able to move. (He’ll clip out if he spawns to close or inside a wall) All you have to do is stand atop the stairs or walls and hit it. You may want to hit the Guardian through the wall to avoid falling in. When it tries to attack you, simply hop back down until he’s finished with the attack. Then go back up and resume hitting the Guardian.
