Monster Inside the ocean monuments' chambers. Three per monument. Does not respawn. 80 ranged: 8; melee: 2 8 The eldest guardians of ocean monuments. These monstrosities deal heavy damage. They kill squids on sight, much like the more common variety.
They attack by shooting a beam out of their single eye. This will not deal damage until about four seconds of charging. You can avoid damage by hiding behind cover.
They will attack anything that gets too close to it by extending its spikes. *1 - 3 prismarine shard
0 - 1 raw cod
0 - 1 wet sponge
10 exp. points Avoid ranged damage by hiding behind cover, and get in close as soon as possible and kill it with a sword. It's extremely hard to avoid damage, so be sure to have strong armor.
Arrows don't work well in water, but tridents do. A trident can be a way to avoid melee damage, but remember that they are rarely left unguarded by the smaller guardians.
