Zelda BOTW: How To Get Guardian Parts (Tips, Tricks, & Farming Guide)

screenrant.com:

Guardians are one of the toughest enemies players face in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and these ancient machines pose a significant threat throughout the entire game. Their powerful lasers can easily kill Link in just one or two hits, and they're able to lock onto their target from a distance that makes them difficult to approach. However, once players have the right equipment, toppling these technological terrors can yield some valuable Ancient Parts.

Ancient Parts not only sell for a fair price in Breath of the Wild but they can also be used to purchase the Ancient Armor Set and Ancient Weapons from the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. The Ancient Armor Set is one of the best armor sets in the game, offering incredible base defense as well as the Ancient Proficiency Set Bonus once it's upgraded. This set bonus boosts Link's attack power when using Ancient Weapons, allowing him to dish out some serious damage. Ancient Weapons are extremely effective against Guardians, Blights, and even Calamity Ganon himself, and combined with the Ancient Proficiency bonus; Link can become an unstoppable force against Hyrule's biggest, baddest enemies.

The Ancient Armor can be upgraded at any of Breath of the Wild's Fairy Fountains, but all four fountains will need to be unlocked before players can fully upgrade the set. The fully upgraded Ancient Armor offers 84 defense, but players will have to find dozens of Ancient Springs, Screws, Gears, Shafts, and Cores in order to max out the entire set. Fortunately, Guardian parts also sell well, so farming them is also an excellent way to make money from extra parts while grinding for the necessary upgrade materials.
