We\u2019ve got everything you need to know so you can get the upper hand on these ruthless giants. [jwplayer hRlzg0BA] Genshin Impact is the latest craze to sweep 2020 by storm. First, we had Fall Guys, then Among Us, and now it\u2019s miHoYo\u2019s free-to-play action role-playing title. Fans are transported to the realm of Teyvat where they meet a whole host of characters who they can recruit to their team via gacha mechanics using real money. The game is heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in its design, with players exploring its vast open-world to discover new locations, defeat enemies, find treasure, and more. One such foe you\u2019ll encounter is the Ruin Guard \u2013 a scary-looking mechanical monster who can cause devastation if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing. But that\u2019s where we come in to help. Where to find Ruin Guards in Genshin Impact If you haven\u2019t come across one on your travels yet, you\u2019re lucky \u2013 they\u2019re terrifying. It\u2019s self-explanatory, but they can be found guarding ruins and treasure. This means if you want to get your hands on the goods, you\u2019ve got to go through them first! Their loot can be pretty good though, so if you\u2019re up for the challenge, it\u2019s worth seeking them out. The first Guard you\u2019ll probably find yourself up against is the one at the Thousand Winds Temple in Mondstadt. The RPG\u2019s story takes you there in the first couple of hours, so you don\u2019t need to go out of your way to find it. Once you\u2019ve conquered that one, there\u2019s another at Brightcrown Canyon \u2013 which is on the northeast coast of Cider Lake \u2013 and also one in the Stombearer Mountains. There are likely more in other regions of the world, but they\u2019ve not been discovered yet at the time of writing. How to defeat Ruin Guards in Genshin Impact So, you\u2019ve found yourself in a Guard\u2019s path, whether that\u2019s deliberately or not. It locks eyes with you, and starts to chase you down, sending homing missiles your way as you try and dodge the carnage\u2026 What do you do?! There\u2019s actually a specific method to the madness, but we suggest you\u2019re at least level 18 before taking it on. If you look at the giant\u2019s head, you\u2019ll see a glowing orange eye \u2013 that\u2019s where you want to strike. There\u2019s also a similar area on its back as well, which is revealed when it stops to ready the explosives it sends your way. In this case, you\u2019ll want to play as an archer character to make hitting those critical spots a lot easier. Amber is great for this, and you get her early on in the main story campaign so there\u2019s no worries about not having someone on hand who can wield a bow and arrow. Fischl and Venti can also be used if you\u2019ve been lucky enough to recruit them via the Wish mechanic. Once you\u2019ve struck the monster at its weak points enough times, it\u2019ll fall to the ground and this is when you\u2019ll want to switch to a melee fighter and hack away at it with your sword or claymore. It\u2019s also a good opportunity to unleash special attacks for maximum damage. Read More: When is Genshin Impact coming to Switch? – Do this enough times, and you\u2019ll eventually win the battle.
