Elder guardians are slower and do not swim or run away from players when they approach them. The Eyes of the guardian will follow the players even if they are under the potion of invisibility.

The Elder Guardian has 2 attacks and 1 de-buff that affects the player. These are:

  • The Elder guardian shoots a beam of Laser that deals 8 hearts damage to the player. The beam takes a while to charge and transforms to green when firing. Players can move away during the Charge time to avoid the attack. However, once locked on, the beam cannot be avoided.
  • The Elder Guardian also has natural defense on its body as Thorns. Players or mobs who go too close to the mob will get 2-3 hearts of damage.
  • The Elder Guardian also applies Mining Fatigue III de-buff to the player which decreases the attack speed of the player by 30% and decreases mining speed by almost half. This effect will be applied to the player if they approach within 50 blocks of the Elder Guardians and is unavoidable.

However, Elder Guardians are affected by the Impaling Enchantment.
