  • A laser is their primary offensive attack. It takes several seconds to charge, emitting a distinctive sound and changing color from purple to yellow in the process, and does significant damage when the charging completes.
    • There is no way to dodge the laser, but the guardian must maintain line-of-sight during the charging process. If you can get behind a wall or pillar, the attack will be canceled and will do no damage. Circling narrow pillars therefore can be used to circumvent multiple attacks from all sides.
    • The laser has a maximum range of about 15 blocks. If you can get far enough away before the charging completes, the attack will be cancelled and do no damage.
    • If the player gets too close to the guardian, it is liable to abandon the attack and swim away.

Equipment checklist

Equipment that is particularly helpful when infiltrating a monument:

Defeating the monument

Make sure you have turned auto-jump off before entering.

The first step is to get inside the monument, which can sometimes be difficult as guardians spawned outside the monument and will attack you. Options here include:

Once inside, it can be advantageous to set up a base of operations. Doors or slime blocks can be used to seal any entrances to the chosen room, and slime blocks can be used to quickly clear it of water. Then you might move in resources such as furnaces (for drying sponges), chests (to hold potions and other supplies), a bed (in case you die, you`ll respawn closer to your dropped items), a nether portal (for easier access via the Nether), and even a cow (for milk refills).

Your goal inside the monument is to take out the elder guardians to eliminate the Mining Fatigue "Healing" redirects here. For health, see health.

There are three per monument: one in the "penthouse" at the very top and one in each of the wings flanking the main entrance. The elders themselves are not extremely difficult if you`re prepared with strong armor and weapons, since they move and attack relatively slowly, but finding them within the maze can pose a challenge. It might help to wall off dead ends as you investigate them, and note that the wings are connected by a long hallway around the back of the monument that bypasses the maze.

After the elders are defeated, you might simply take the sea lanterns, sponges, prismarine, and gold and leave. Or you might remove the water from the monument ("dry it out") to turn it into a base or a guardian farm Guardian Health points 30 ( × 15) Attack strength Easy: 4 () Normal: 6 () Hard: 9 () When attacked: 2 () Drops Raw Fish (0-1) Prismarine Crystals(0-1) Prismarine Shard (0–2) Rare drops Clownfish Pufferfish minecraft . Now that Mining Fatigue is no longer an issue, you can use any method you`d like to accomplish this; if you were lucky enough to find a sponge room, the sponges will be particularly helpful in this task.
