Drops

• Throwing Knife x2 (10% Chance)
• Throwing Knife x5 (5% Chance)
• Painting Guardian Sword (2% Chance)

Attacks

• Quick One-Handed Swing Attack
• Heavy Two-Handed Swing Attack
• Quick Running Attack

Strategy

• They are big trouble in groups, its best to try to deal with a couple or so at a time. Do not let them get behind you as they will do a back attack. Wait for them to throw a dart or attack, and then sidestep and attack them. They are very fast, so attacks have to be quick. Do not let them heal.
• Try luring them out one at a time. Block the first swing then kill it.
  If fighting multiple Guardians, let both of them hit your shield at the same time, then kill them.
