Guardbots are robotic enemies that appear in both Gothica and Omnitopia. A pair of them, though with greatly lowered stats, are notably fought as the first enemies in the game.

Strategy

Concept art.

The first Guardbots do very little damage and are easily killed with a single Bazooka shot each.

Later in the game, Guardbots are considerably more dangerous. They move quickly, have long-range projectile attacks as well as melee attacks, and have a lot of HP and defense. Alchemy is best against them, as their physical defense is high. The player only encounters 2 of these in Gothica and 8 in the Alarm Room (if the player didn't shut down the alarm).

Player improvement

The Guardbot gives a large amount of experience, but the player can only encounter it a finite number of times and so cannot level grind against them.

Trivia

• It is possible for the player to shoot away all 100 of their Thunderball ammo. The ammo will not refill, as opposed to the player's HP going back to full when they reach 0 HP. This results in the player being forced to beat the 2 Guardbots by attacking them with the Bazooka's melee attack, in order to win the fight.

Carltron in Antiqua.

• If there are zero Bazooka shots left after the second Guardbot has been destroyed at the start of the game an Easter Egg sequence will be triggered at the beginning of Antiqua. A short animation of Carltron will be displayed in which he cleans the wood boxes and then leaves the screen in the next scene after the boy was driven to the beach with the current.
