The Guardian Scout III may start attacking with either its weapons or its laser ability. It will likely switch strategy mid-battle to catch you off guard; this can happen when its health drops to a certain amount. When it uses its laser ability, you can parry the pulse with Link's shield using a [[Perfect Guard]] to reflect the projectile back at the Scout. | The Guardian Scout III may start attacking with either its weapons or its laser ability.

When facing this scout in a | When facing this scout in a [[Test of Strength]] Shrine, the scout will use a wide variety of attacks. The scout may stop attacking Link at close range and jump far away. Be prepared to find a stone pillar or to create an obstacle to hide behind as the scout will extend its weapons and come spinning towards Link. You can also stop it spinning before it hits you with a precise shot into the eye with an [[Arrow]]. Once the scout has stopped spinning, it will take a moment to regain itself, leaving you time to attack it. | ||
Another attack the scout may use is retracting its upper part into its body and spinning its eye around, charging its laser. This renders a circle of the battlefield harmful and will knock Link back if the circle is too close. However, the spinning motion also creates an updraft that can be used by Link to get some height above the circle and attack from above with a melee weapon. Another way of stopping the scout spinning is by carefully firing an [[Arrow]] into its eye. This is difficult to pull off though because its eye is spinning rapidly; timing is crucial to land a hit on the eye. | Another attack the scout may use is retracting its upper part into its body and spinning its eye around, charging its laser.
