Handling guardians and elder guardians
Guardians shoot a beam that damages you underwater, and each monument holds three elder guardians. Elders afflict you with mining fatigue, which slows your arm. Drink milk to clear it.
- Preparation: bring potions of water breathing or a helmet with Respiration, plus a Depth Strider pair of boots.
- Combat: sneak behind pillars to break their line of sight, then strike quickly.
- Treasure: eight gold blocks form the core room, and prismarine drops shards and crystals.
Sponge rooms in the wings hold wet sponges. Dry them in a furnace and they help you soak up water for building and clearing the structure.
Fight at night, when the visibility is lower, only if you are confident.
Turning the loot into a sea base
Prismarine bricks, dark prismarine and sea lanterns make a cold, glowing set of blocks. Sea lanterns also give great light underwater, so they suit an aquarium or a submerged house.
Another reward is a conduit. Craft one with a heart of the sea and eight nautilus shells, then surround it with a frame of prismarine. It grants water breathing and night vision in the area, plus faster mining underwater.
- Drain the monument with sponges to work in air.
- Find shells by fishing or killing drowned.
- Build an air pocket with a door at the top for a quiet resting spot.
Keep a boat at the surface so you can leave quickly.

FAQ
How do I cure mining fatigue from an elder guardian?
Drink a bucket of milk. The effect lasts a long time otherwise, so carry one before you go in.
What is in the middle of a monument?
The core room holds eight gold blocks surrounded by dark prismarine. Mine them with a pickaxe once the guardians are cleared.
Can I get a conduit without a monument?
You need nautilus shells and a heart of the sea. The heart comes from buried treasure, so shipwrecks and maps help.
Why is the monument so hard to see from a boat?
It sits below the surface in a deep ocean, so you may only see dark shapes in the water. A helmet with Respiration helps when diving in.
