    Zelda Breath Of The Wild had that too. You could reflect the guardian’s beam by raising your shield at exactly the right moment.

      Of course we all know that Link and Doomguy are the same person.

      Did it need to be the right moment, though? I remember going through that canyon temple with the guardians and just standing and waiting for the attack with my shield up, and needing to reposition to get it to hit them back… but that memory might be incorrect…

        You could raise your shield and have the guardian destroy the shield but deal no damage to you, and you could also parry while your shield is raised to reflect the beam back. BotW had a parry button you could use while your shield was raised.

        The Guardian and Ancient shields would auto-reflect beams, but still consume shield durability. Any shield could be used with the parry and not consume durability. (This goes for most if not all monster attacks.)

          Maybe that’s what it was, idk. I’m terrible with parry mechanics but it was also a few years ago.
