I upgraded a great club to +14 just for these guys. I haven't tried a two-handed strike on it. My char has 36 str and still takes 3 strikes to kill it with one hand. I always strike after the guardian's overhead smash as its poise seems to make it immune to stagger. I only have time for a single strike or else the ground upheaval would lift me up and take half my health. Prefer to use one hand for a shield as the guardian's attacks tend to track you and can hit from a surprising distance.
