How to defeat the Lightning Guardian in Wilderness Origin Survival Challenge: A quick guide for defeating the Lightning Guardian in Wilderness Origin Survival Challenge

In the initial 01 survival challenge of Wild Origin, the Lightning Guardian, as one of the early mechanical bosses encountered by beginners, often causes players to fail due to stamina depletion or operational errors from its high-frequency slashing and dive attacks. However, today, I will summarize how to defeat the Lightning Guardian in the Wild Origin survival challenge for you. This will help you master the output rhythm in this boss fight and strive to defeat this potential BOSS in one go.

Preparation before the battle requires ensuring stamina sustain and attribute enhancement. At the start, consuming a combination of Lollipop Fruit + Roasted Chicken Leg + Roasted Mushroom can stack the Well-Fed buff, increasing your stamina cap by 20 points and health by 40 points, while also triggering a 12% damage increase. For weapons, I strongly recommend the spear and shield combo; the former provides a safe mid-range attack space, and the latter can block frontal slashes through shield-raising, but be mindful of the shield's durability consumption.

The combat phase requires a tiered response to skills, the Lightning Guardian's attack patterns are divided into three stages: Regular Slash: The BOSS swings its right mechanical arm for a two-hit combo, at which point maintaining a shield raise can steadily absorb the damage, but be aware that after blocking twice consecutively, it will trigger an overload state, reducing the shield's defensive efficiency by 30%. It is recommended to perform a side roll after the second slash to avoid any possible follow-up attacks. The second is Dive Attack: The BOSS charges for 0.8 seconds before leaping, with a fan-shaped warning area appearing on the ground. At this time, you should preemptively run to either side, and if too close, you can backflip under the BOSS, taking advantage of its landing stun to launch 2-3 spear thrusts. The third is Electric AOE, when the BOSS's HP drops to 40%, it releases a ring of electricity around itself, covering a radius of about two body lengths. This skill needs to be dodged in advance; do not get greedy with your attacks.

When the BOSS has been hit by 5 consecutive spear thrusts or successfully shield-blocked 3 times, it will enter a 10-second imbalance state. At this moment, approach its core (the glowing part on the chest) to execute, causing critical damage. Note that during the execution, the character is in an invincible state, but if the stamina was below 20% before, it will be unable to dodge subsequent skills in time after the execution. It is suggested to reserve at least 30% stamina before initiating.

The key to defeating the Lightning Guardian lies in controlling the battle pace and resource allocation. Prepare suitable food to enhance attributes before the battle, and use rolling and shield-raising reasonably during the fight to reduce damage. Seizing the opportunity to execute when the BOSS is down can significantly shorten the battle duration. Throughout the process, pay attention to stamina consumption to avoid being unable to dodge skills at critical moments. As long as you familiarize yourself with the attack patterns and prepare accordingly, even with average gear, you can consistently clear the stage.
