Step 1. Escape With Zelda
At the start of this mission, you will have to escape with Zelda to the center of the map. Run south and to the west, but make sure not to stray too far away from Zelda herself.
↑ You'll get a chance to learn how to use the Magnesis tool - it works best against opponents that have metal weapons.
When you get to the center location, a Guardian will suddenly appear and start chasing you. Don't waste your time trying to attack the Guardian, as it won't be killable at this stage! Try to stay ahead of it and run for cover when it locks onto you with its beam.
Step 2. Activate The Unearthed Guardians
For this part of the mission, you'll have to make your way to two deactivated Guardians and turn them on. There will be plenty of enemies along the way, including Moblins and an Electric Wizzrobe, so be ready.
↑ The first unearthed guardian. Go south and then up to access this one.
↑ The second unearthed guardian, in the upper left of the map. You have to access this from the left-most path - you can't climb up the mounts to get to it.
Step 3. Lure The Guardian
After you activate the two guardians, you'll have to lure the aggressive one to a certain location. Simply walk up to it to get its attention and then run backwards. If you get locked on, try to outrun the beam.
Step 4. Defeat The Guardian
Your final mission in this stage will be to take out the guardian. During its lock on ability, take shelter behind a nearby rock. The Guardian will also do a small jump ability - if you time your dodge well enough, you can trigger a powerful counterattack with Y here! Pay close to attention to its jump timing and defeat it.
