In contrast to the large, central spire rising from the top of the map, the Guardians can be found patrolling around one of the six different smaller ones closer to the edges.

For the Guardian of the Bay, she can be found just to the northwest of the central Spire. If you’re having trouble, just look for the area near the head of the bay that looks like Fall hit it a bit early.

It’s important to note that while you’re carrying the orb you can jump higher, but not shoot or use any items. Getting it to the center without getting sniped will be a tall order in solos, but should be much easier in squad game modes.
