Ship

The Guardian Structures are aroung 900 Lys away so you will need a ship with a decent jump range. I use a DBX as the terrain around the sites is very tough and I can land within the site. If you want to use a bigger ship then be prepared to struggle to find a place to close by. 

Outfitting:

SRV

Point Defence outfitted to the top utility mount (Explained later)

Enough Synthesis materials for SRV Refuel, Ammo and possibly repair.

once you have landed you will encounter the following:

Destructible Panels and Ancient Relic

These are angled Pillars and have 3 destructible panels, which when shot drop Guardian loot. In the picture above there is also an Ancient Relic tower in the middle which to collect the relic by targeting it in turret-mode and shooting it. Once it drops to the ground, collect it with your SRV as you will need it later.

Sentinels

Sentinels have Kinetic and missile attacks that will move your SRV. There are usually multiple per Structure. I would suggest you drive around the site killing them before you attempt collecting the Blueprint. When you destory them they drop Guardians materials too. This is where a point defence comes handy as it will take out the Sentinels missiles if it is in range.

Pylons

There are usually 6 of these per site and appear like triangles that can be missed.

 

This is what they look like when the appear out of the ground. You need to approach one that is near the Databank before the others will appear when you drive close to them. Sometimes Sentinels will spawn which you will need to destory.

As you can see in the picture above there is a blue light which needs to be charged up. This is done by shooting at it with your SRV. I do this in turret mode. Once it have been charged up a beam of light will appear out of the top, a message will appear on the right hand side states "Pylon fully charged" and a timer will appear. This will increase every time you charge up a pylon. Sentinels will spawn once you have charged all pylons. I suggest the you drive around site first to make all Pylons appear before you attempt to charge any of them. That way you can destory the Sentinels without worrying about the timer.

Guardian Databank

The Databank is ussually on a raised platform and lights up six panels. If you don't see all six panel lit up that means 1 or more of the Pylons have not been charge up properly.

In front of the Panel you will see a small blue light on the ground. This is where you need to drop the Ancient Relic that you picked up earlier by drive over the top of it and jettison the Relic.

If you have dropped the Relic in the correct place an Orb will appear. This you need to scan to receive a Bluprint Segment. Sentinels will spawn which will need to be killed.

Once you had done that its a case of Rinse and repeat until you have the required number of Blueprint Segments.

Guardian Weapon Blueprint Site

COL 173 SECTOR HR-M B23-3 Planet B7

 

Guardian Module Blueprint Site

SYNUEFE NL-NC23-4 B3

Pattern Obelisk Scans

There are obtain by scanning Obelisks. There are about 4 on the sites I have shown above but I would suggest you go to The Ancient Ruins below as it has 18 scannable Obelisks and there are no Sentinels so it makes it easier. The Pattern Scans are random so you will need to Rinse and Repeat until you get what you need.

 

Guardian Fighter Blueprints

To obtain a Guardian fighter bluprints you first need to visit a Guardian Beacon

 

Once you get closer to the beacon 3 pylons will appear. As at the Guardian Structures these need to be charged up. This is done by shooting at them with your ship's laser. I only used 1 beam laser.

When you have charged up all the pylons The beacon will become active. In the center you will see an orb. You need to scan this as this gives you a location of a Guardian Structure where you will be able to obtain a Guardian fighter Blueprint Segment. Once you have scanned the Orb an Ancient Key will appear. You need this key to instead of the Anicent Relic to unlock the Fighter Blueprint. You will need 3 keys id you want to unlock all the Fighters. No need to board hop for this. Once you have collected the Ancient Key, just start over again.

The procedure to obtain the Fighter Blueprint is the same as when you want a Weapon of Module Blueprint. The only difference is you drop the Ancient Key in front of the panel instead of an Ancient Relic.
