The way most people are doing it right now is to basically focus the Big guy (the original one) and kill him at the 2nd spot before he runs away. This should be doable every time, but all other aspects of the fight is essentially RNG (with this strat, at least).

Ideally, you should also kill 1 more Guardian at the 2nd spot or shortly after getting to 3rd spot but this may not be possible every time. I'm not sure if damage just needs to be really high, or if it's just dependent on if a Guardian stays longer than usual (RNG).

Newly spawned Guardians seem to run away once they hit 80%, but sometimes you can get lucky and they'll do a poison channel before running off.

I believe there are also timers for when a Reef Guardian does another Reef Heart channel. I'm fairly certain the Big guy won't do another channel for exactly 2 minutes, but the Medium and Small ones feel more random.

I could be wrong about some things though, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
