The fight will begin with you fighting an Alpha Sanddigger for a brief moment. First, when the Alpha Sanddigger is not infected by the Dark energy, shoot it in the face with a few Power Beam shots (like a regular Sanddigger). In a few seconds, the Alpha Sanddigger will get infected by Dark energy, transforming it into the Bomb Guardian. The Bomb Guardian is fast -- never stand in one place. It also has a variety of attacks. As you might expect, the Bomb Guardian uses your morph ball bombs against you. It will throw bombs at you, leave some behind as it slithers across the arena, and hurl some out of its mouth. The easiest way to evade the bombs it throws is to keep your reticule locked on to it and strafe. Its other attacks include charging at you, and biting you if you get too close. You should also lock on and strafe to avoid these attacks Note: When you avoid the Bomb Guardian's charge attack, it will get behind you, making you lose your lock-on. When this happens, quickly turn around and lock back on to it. During the battle, you will notice a purple glowing thing on its tail. Lock on to it and shoot it when you get the chance while avoiding its attacks, until it is red and not glowing. Two Charge Beam shots should be sufficient. When you shoot it, the Bomb Guardian will prepare its attack. While it is doing this, shoot it in the head to whittle down its health. Be careful, as it will soon hurl some morph ball bombs from its mouth. It is practically possible to avoid this attack -- do not get hit more than one time. Repeat this process until it is dead. When you kill it, you will obtain your morph ball bombs again. Note: When the Bomb Guardian throws bombs at you or charges at you, its weak spot on its tail will stop glowing. Ignore this, as you still cannot damage it until you make it stop glowing.
