You'll need to go and hunt down some Eridian Guardians using a snare grenade, meaning you can't kill them. However, there's a catch, as you need to make the Guardian Wraiths transform into their elemental form and they have to be a specific form (they will change forms every so often). In order to capture them with the snare grenade, their health has to be under 25%.
| NOTE |
|---|
| The Wraiths will continually respawn if you kill them without trapping them. This is a great source of XP and probably the best place in the game to actually level your characters. Once you capture all four Wraiths, you won't be able to do this mission again until you reach TVHM. |
The first one is the Fire Wraith, followed by Corrosive, Shock and Cryo for last. Once you have all four, wait until you get told to go back to the drop-off point, where you have to make a choice. You can either turn over the Wraiths to the poacher (receive assault rifle) or kill the poacher (get shield). If you opt for the latter, you need to kill the poacher and the other Scavs that appear. Either way, talk to Sterwin after to finish.
| TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT ALERT |
|---|
| The only way to get the Guardian Guardian achievement/trophy is to kill the Master Poacher at the end of the mission. If you choose to hand the Wraiths over, then you will not get it. |
