Automaton Guardian

Automaton Guardians are melee-based opponents created by the Guardian of Guthix Cres to protect Guthix's chamber. They can be found in the central room of Guthix's lair after the completion of The World Wakes. They require 67 Slayer to be harmed and are known for their various mid-priced stackable drops and their ultra rare glove drop. Level 80 weaponry is strongly recommended; any lower will sharply cut profits. Players should be aware of the monster's special attack, which does a pulsing area of effect damage around the automation at regular intervals, but roots the monster in place (note it can still perform regular auto attacks while the special is active). This can quickly do 1000+ damage if multiple pulses contact with the player. Torment and its equivalent curses significantly increase damage when fighting this monster, as the monster has high combat stats in all areas (Torment provides the correct bonus against its weakness). Safe spotting the monster west of the middle area (trapping them by the walls dividing of each boss npc during the quest) is the easiest approach, as the player takes no damage (Void Knight equipment is recommended to take advantage of this). Other conveniences include: the quest reward Sixth-Age circuit, providing a quick teleport back to the area; Solomon's General Store pet variants, which automatically loots the plethora of stacking objects.

Currently, the guardians are the least resource intensive variant due to lack of damage taken. Torment is highly recommended; due to the approximately 30% increase in profit/kills exceeding the cost of prayer dosage.

Currently, there is a glitch where if you attack a Automaton Guardian then run away, it will walk around and use its special attack on the ground in a "rage" like state and will auto attack you if you get close despite their non-aggressive nature until it is killed. So it is recommended to follow though with your kills so they dont sneak up on you while you are training on another Automaton.
