If you have done all test od strength shrines of one kind you can't fight that type of guardian again? or they respawn?

They respawn, you might have to wait for a blood moon though. I know I farmed for parts using the one on the great plateau from the champions ballad.

Theres 6 Giant cores in various shrine chests, Skywatchers and Stalkers are the only ones who can drop Giant Cores you won't find them from scouts or trial guardians. Note it is stalkers not damaged Guardians that drop this.

The Giant Cores are probs the biggest hold up in the game, they are fairly rare and only drop from those two enemies (probably more common via the skywatchers) I'd say just get the 6 cores from the shrine chests as those are enough to max the Ancient Armor.

There is sadly no fast way of farming the Giant Cores save for getting very efficient at slaying Stalkers and Skywatchers.

You can buy them from Teli. You can find him at Hateno but he's also seen at Dual Peaks stable. The merchants seem to seel more rare items when it's raining though. So the chances to buy an ancient core from him might be higher when it's raining.
Another way to collect them is to go to Hyrule Castle. Kill all enemies including all guardians and watchers. You might end up with a couple of cores. Blood Moons won't happen when you're at the Castle. Leave the Castle after you've killed everything and return after a Blood Moon happens. Might take longer but at least you've got a couple of Ancient Cores

Do they sell Giant Ancient Cores? Cuz that would've saved some effort for me

That's the thing. It depends on the weather. I haven't bought anything from him when I came across him but he sells ancient cores on rare occassions. Some people said he sold multiple ancient cores and others said they could only buy one.

So rain is actually useful... Btw how much do they cost? (although ill probably have more than enough rupees)
