Same , no Guardian for me either. @ C3LLDW3LLER did you use a brand new save or continue a save in the tutorial. I used an existing one. I'll try it on a new one.

It's there, make sure you dig through the first layer after you go underwater.

Wasn't there for me either, so I started fresh again. Second time I never set the game to peaceful and he was there. Maybe using peaceful will permanently despawn the guardian, or it's a random spawn.

@AL1 thanks think that was my problem, worked on a fresh save on easy. Must have set the game to peaceful to get into position reloaded on easy last time.

Solution worked perfectly. Like some of the other commentors, i did have to load a new tutorial world that was never on "Peaceful" in order for the Elder Guardian to spawn. Once I did that, he was there and the rest was precisely as shown. Hit him a couple times with the enchanted sword and pop goes the achievement.

Had some trouble unlocking this on my world. Had a diamond sword with Sharpness 3, and Fire Aspect 2. Changed to an iron sword and unlocked it as soon as it died.

I can’t break through the lair with a diamond anything. It wont break at all. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

@DARK FALLOUT93
I am having that problem too. I immediately get Mining Fatigue 3. And I noticed that the Elder Guardian can be seen through the ceiling at certain points. Did I get too close?
With Mining Fatigue 3, I'm unable to mine anything.

You need to use a boat to get there quickly or you'll be cursed. Jump out of the boat right above the hole and start digging immediately. That's how i got it.

If you're achievements don't pop just hard reset and reattempt from a save point. I was stuck on this achievement for an hour until I decided to hard reset and what do ya know, success.

As of May 2019, this worked great but I was having the same problem getting cursed with Mining Fatigue III. I couldn't even get there quick enough in a boat. So I collected dirt, made a bridge to right above the temple and ran all the way there, falling off right above it. It may seem like a lot of extra work, but that's the only way I was able to get there quick enough.

I know this is an old achievement now, but I just recently went for it, and remembered that I could use a bucket of milk to clear the mining fatigue debuff. So I got a bucket of milk and was set to go, swam to the location and had the debuff put on me. I downed the milk and dove down to dig and kill the guardian, worked like a charm.

^Bringing Milk to avoid the miners fatigue is a great idea! Thanks!

I had no idea tutorial have Elder Guardian, I assumed It's just decorations.
I used enchants and underwater potion cuz I'm overprotective.
Very nice!

Original poster's solution worked great for me. A lil note to help with ach. When you start tutorial go to the villager's in the center of tutorial world and do the trade tutorial. There you can get easy/free enchants. From there go left and get the IRON blocks out of the pumpkin/golem tutorial and make an iron Pickaxe. From there go to the enchanting tutorial and get a free diamond sword and enchant potions as well as under you is the diamond beacon you can mine to make diamond armor. I had full prot 3 diamond armor & a free fire aspect 2 sharpness 3 diamond sword. The elder guardian took away 1/2 heart. SUPER easy and not very time consuming.

Here is a quick and easy guide on how to find and kill an elder guardian in the tutorial world. Go to the cordinates x -298, y 63,z 319. Once there you will be right over the guardian. All you will have to do is dig through the roof and fight him. Be careful though he is tough bring armor and a sword. Also make sure you don't run out of air.

A very easy achievement to unlock.
Elder Guardian only spawns inside underwater temple, protecting treasures. It looks like a big pufferfish with a long tail (a larger version than the guardian).
All you have to do is load the tutorial world. Mine some diamond blocks with an iron pickaxe. Craft a diamond armor and a diamond sword then go to the underwater temple at the coordinates X:-297, Y:63, Z:319.
Just stand on the roof of the structure then dive a few times to mine some of the blocks on the top of the underwater structure. But don't mine too many of them so the Elder Guardian, which is right below, gets stuck inside the temple. Get to the surface then dive and hit it a few times to kill it and the achievement is yours.

Same method as above! Very easy achievement, just a little more in depth and detailed walkthrough. This video will show you what you need, where, and how to defeat an Elder Guardian in the Tutorial World!

Happy Hunting!

Seed: 3569888
World Size: Large
Biome Size: Medium
X: -1178
Y: 63
Z: -2296

-You can find Ocean monuments by either exploration, cartographer villager, or the seed and location above
-There are 3 Elder Guardians per monument
-Bring Potions of water breathing (Nether Wart, Puffer Fish, Redstone) or helmet with enchantment of respiration
-A set of Iron armor and sword will do fine as the Elder Guardians aren't actually that hard to kill
