How to find Guardian Blueprint Segments in Elite dangerous

[@philiphoeffer7442]

Also use a SMALL ship DBX, or ASPX (med ) it takes some searching but you can find spots CLOSE to the site to land, have a point defense equipped on the TOP of your ship. put power to shields & 2 pips to wepon the ship before you deploy the SRV. The point defense will shoot down ~95% of the missiles fired as long as you aren't parked too far from the site. Makes it very easy as you can ignore the missiles. It's also important to keep in mind that you MUST find /drive close to the pylons at the structure where the terminal comes out FIRST, otherwise the other pylons wont come out of the ground. I usually drive the circuit to get all the pylons to come up, then go around again to charge them. This also has the benefit of you having killed most of the Sentinels so you don't have to deal with more than the 4 that spawn when you charge the last two pylons at the Terminal spawn point.

[@ClassicDOOM]

Philip, those are all excellent tips, thank you. I never would've bothered with Point Defense on my stripped-down long-range DBX... but now for the lonnng grind to get blueprints there's 2 PDs on top. I was able to park it close to the site at HD 63154, and it has saved my SRV from about a gabillion missiles. And thanks of course to D2EA for the great video. Cheers guys. :)

[@12tanuha21]

thanks for the tip No missile reached my SRV ^^

[@JetFighters]

Thank you, Philip, that's very useful advice.

[@sabatheus]

Can confirm. I showed-up with a Beluga...I could do nothing--3 hours wasted. Also, yes, point defense is a life-saver here.

[@sjgoff]

Great tip. Not a single missile hit.

[@DziadekOi]

Good job, I learned the basics from this video. Anyway, I would strongly recommend the COL 173 SECTOR GS-J B-25-4 , planet D2 (around 30.000 ls from the main star) for the module blueprints. It`s much easier, because it`s ususally much brighter there, the gravity is friendly, and the nearby terrain is so flat, that even a capital ship could land there.

[@khaleefajointz9208]

Jędrzej Paszak ok

[@EliteFireSaint]

COL 173 SECTOR GS-J B25-4 NOT B-25.

[@S.ASmith]

CMDR's be careful with the platforms leading up the data orb altar. Your SRV wheels can clip through them and get stuck. Found out the hard way when I was boosting up, run out of juice (despite 4 pips to engines) and the SRV landed, rolled backwards, and the wheel axel clipped through a tiny strut. Always epic when you can't move in any axis...just great game play...10/10

[@raf.b]

@@S.ASmith you can bypass them by using side way to go there.

[@stuartaparker]

Just did the grind on this yesterday. I went to COL 173 SECTOR GS-J B25-4 D 2 as I just wanted the FSD Booster and the reinforcement modules. Took an ASPX with 3x Point Defence mounted in the top utility slots, and parked on the corner of the Guardian Stucture. The Point Defence took out every Sentinel missile, so saved a lot of pain. My method: - Zoom around with a detatched camera to get a view of the layout including where the pylons are. - Collect materials from the distructable panels and scan obelisks first while getting familiar with the layout - Grab an Ancient Relic in preparation - Zoom up the hill to the "alter" and activate the 2 pylons next to it. Do NOT charge them yet. Kill any Sentinels - Do a lap and activate the other 4 pylons, again don't CHARGE any. Kill any Sentinels - Do a lap and CHARGE the pylons but leave the alter ones til last. - When you're up at the alter and have charged those pylons last, jettison the relic, jump in your turret and point at the ejected orb. Scan it. - Drive your SRV like you stole it, far away from the spawned Sentinels AND from your ship. Log out. - Log in and repeat On about the 3rd cycle, I was lapping without confusion. It's easier when you can see the pylons to race round and charge them not worrying about wasting countdown time finding them and raising them. For obelisk data, find an ancient ruins (there are videos on here). You can farm all you need without Sentinels worrying you. Good luck CMDRs o7

[@S.ASmith]

Would be so bad if the SRV wasn't like driving a plate of jelly on an ice rink that clips into just about every guardian site strut and object going, or just fails to respond to throttle input or just..ignores the handbrake...SRV is AIDs, even if the actual act of doing the site and the mechanics aren't that bad.

[@Justanotherandy63]

This is brilliant advice. I got there in my DBX and the place was in ruins and nothing like the vids I'd seen on youtube. I parked right out front and the 3 point defence turrets dealt with every missile fired at me. The sentinels were a pain until I got used to fighting with the SRV but the key is to not panic. I had to return to my ship 3 times from bashing into things and getting my hull under 20%. My only gripe was that I had to log 4 times just to find 21 technology comps - it was so frustrating that I gave up on the idea of getting the shield blueprint on this run. Still, my DBX and Conda both have 70ly range now so I'm a happier bunny. Thanks, dudes.

[@lordsith8319]

shit

[@raf.b]

This calls for video manual

[@raf.b]

@@Justanotherandy63 you need only one on top of it (dbx, first utility slot is most upper one)

[@jpowell6418]

I appreciate this guide. I had a fellow cmdr try and show me this while I was playing with him. But he ended up just doing everything himself and it was safe to say I was lost. Lol he said "make you sure you remember this" and I'm like, what exactly am I remembering? This makes a bit more sense. Thanks again o7

[@ralphm2425]

I cannot believe that relogging is part of the gameplay if i want another blueprint

[@josephorr5175]

[@senseinathan1]

hi. do you still only get one segment per run?

[@mr.gamenervy7357]

Nice one! Although I've done a lot of these guardian sites already, I never knew the SRV camera trick. I wish I'd known before, as I'm so directionally challenged!

[@soliderarmatang5664]

[@ladycaruso]

Great guide, and great tips for using the free camera! I’m trying to get the FSD for the first time, and I keep ending up at the site at night. Night vision doesn’t help the directionally challenged so I’ll be trying driving with the overhead view tonight! Wish me luck 🤣

[@onlythetruthwillsetyoufree8872]

How do you get so much time? I get like 3 minutes for all the pylons and then I have too be lucky when dropping the relic in the curvy terrain. Missed it 3 times already. Seconds on the clock. For me its a very tight race and anything less then perfect is a fail. I know exactly what the shortest route is. And yet. I haven' t got it yet. Close... but no cigar. How do you get so much leisure time???? 10 minutes?? That' s not fair! Your time increases when you shoot a pylon. How come mine does not? I just get the initial 3 minutes and that is it. I will make it though. It has to be.... perfect! No room for driving errors. Starting retry number 5.

[@BrianThomas]

Tip: Make sure you pick up a Point Defense for your ship and land close. This works really good at protecting you from a guardian missile strike.

[@TheProsirius]

Thank you. Very useful Infos, like always. For me you are the best Channel for Elite. I think often at you, mainly i use my lovely Shield booster with such high Resist Values. This is for shure one of the best, and most overlooking Tips from you. i like them much. They made my loved Clipper to a quiet tanky and dangerous Ship. So Thank you Kudos

[@TheProsirius]

i found the Guardian Structure, and all material. Without your Infos i would never get them so easy. I am real happy now, even it was a bit grindy, and i was driving once more the SVR like a drunken Ape. My Phantom jump now 64 LJ, The Ana in full Fight Loadout even 47. Thank You so much ♥

[@dinocarpetner7742]

[@sausageslaps]

so to get modules from the same place just log out and in and the site respawns?

[@Mon18896]

I got the segment thanks to your channel. Great elite dangerous guide. Question? How do I find the focus crystals and all the other things you need to unlock the fsd boosters….

[@congruentcrib]

I’m not certain what one I was at but the terrain is horrible. The structure has a ton of bumps and you’re goin to need to boost to over them (there like big speed bumps) and he ground around it is a mess so going anywhere is a challenge.

[@urded1145]

Maybe it has not happened before, but for some reason even if the terminal is on, when I drop the relic on the ground right above the light nothing happens.

[@Pharesm]

This video is a gem in more than one way. thx! :)

[@afatdude]

Thank you so much. This video shows me everything I needed!!! I will check out your camera tutorial too. My setup just isn't cutting it...hehe.

[@robertboomer7632]

Thanks.. I havent done any of the guardian sites yet because of FDEV working bugs... nerfs... ect out. So i wanted to wait... thanks for the info.

[@K1lostream]

Robert Boomer - if you've done regular base-running for CIF/MEF you'll be fine with these - you have plenty of time, even accounting for stopping to deal with the guardian skimmers which, as you saw in this vid, present no problem if you have pip management in mind as you do it. The only real gripe I've got is the scenery seems 'stickier' than regular bases - expect to get caught up on relatively innocuous-looking bits of scenery A LOT. My friend even had to re-log, as when you log in, the game moves you just to the outside edge of the base, and it spawned him with the front wheels of his SRV embedded inside an obelisk, so he couldn't move! :edits: oh and the irony is, you waited because of bugs, but the effect of the main initial bug was that the sites gave out too much data, so it's actually harder now the bugs have been fixed! :o

[@Jedislayer19]

Fantastic guide. Helped me tons! o7

[@commonsense31]

God danm I didn’t knew you had to relog to get it again! Well I’m just above the planet. So I’ll do it tomorrow again 😂

I just want to find some micro - weave cooling hoses... been looking at wreckd, salvaging from planets, as well as board hoping for mission rewards for tons of stations at different systems of various states or eco... still haven't found 1 since 3.0 drop

[@smokin_moses]

Do some VIP passenger missions to systems with more than 200, 000Ls travel from the arrival point (so you're looking for 2+ mil missions while allied), my favourite are rich tourist VIPs - they basically guarantee no risk and no interdiction. I was practically drowning in that shit when I was looking for grid resistors and biotech conductors. Just get that rep up to allied first, they didn't seem to appear in the mission rewards until I got allied.

[@AquaPixMedia]

It was confirmed as a bug and has been fixed with update 3.0.4. Micro-Weave cooling hoses are available again as mission rewards. I went to TUN last night and there were plenty of missions that gave m-wc hoses as reward. I picked up a mission that gave me 36 units (!) for a single cargo haul.

[@zomgl2pnoobffs]

Hmm, activated all the pylons, get the activated message, drop a relic on the X. Nothing. Tried dropping it in various positions. It just sits there. IC 239 1 SECTOR FL-X B1-7 A 3.

[@jcbatalha1969]

That one may require a Guardian Beacon (HIP 36823) and get a Guardian Key. Some sites use Guardian Relics, others, Guardian Keys.

[@Tekraftian]

Just a tip for everyone. You can target and shoot down the missiles that the skimmers shoot at you but is more difficult the closer you are. What i did was speed by each skimmer spawn trigger location and then retreat up to a hill and shoot the skimmer from a distance. When they fire missiles you can just wait for them to level out and shoot them. This helps when doing the runs solo.

[@charlesb8693]

Can you do this as part of a wing? If I have a friend with me and we are both in our os SRV, do we both have to shoot all 6 pylons or If one of us shoots will it count for both of us? If it does not count for both of us, are we both able to shoot it or can only one person run it at a time and have to leave/come back for things to reset?

[@rikishindi2084]

The pylon won't extended, bug ?

[@1invag]

Did they change how this works, because shooting pylons doesn't give me any extra time as I do it right now. I seem to just get 4 minutes and that's it, and I keep failing lol

[@viske00]

i keep shooting them with the SRV and i'm never getting the pylon charging warning... The are glowing and opening like on your video, same location...

[@viske00]

So i switched from elite horizons to elite odyssey and now it works. If anyone else has this problem, this can fix it...

[@davidhowes7347]

do you recommend guardian weapons vs NPC players and if yes which do you find the best

[@iFilmLiveMusicUS]

So I'm not sure if my game is broken or something, but I've done this whole process 3 times now and each time, I just idle over the ancient terminal and it never says I collected any blueprint. I've spent probably 6 hours on this now, super frustrating! Your guide is excellent though, I just think my game is bugged for some absurd reason.
