49 SECRET Combat Skills You May NOT Know (Tears Of The Kingdom) 

What is Your FAVORITE Combat Tip? And Why? 🤔

Some tip I saw online: if you fuse two chests and save them on autobuild, the Lynels would try to break them as if it were another zonai build. For some reason, chests cannot be broken by the attack and the Lynels will keep trying. This keeps them stunlocked allowing you to keep hitting them for free.

You can attach a cooking pot zonai device to an arrow to instantly break an enemies armor. This has been my go to method for those pesky things. 👍

Here’s a tip I haven’t seen ANYWHERE: The weather attack up armor (ember armor, frostbite armor, and charged armor) have a really cool effect. If you’ve ever wanted the power of a normal fuse material like a Silver Lynel Horn but also the elemental power of something like a Gleeok Horn, it’s possible with the armor. In areas where the armor’s attack up kicks in (like most of the hebra region for the frostbite armor), the final hit of a combo or any stamina-charged attack has an elemental effect corresponding to the armor you’re wearing. For example, when the ember armor has its attack activated (or when it glows) the final hit of a combo creates a ring of fire spinning around you (this works on ANY weapon type and fuse, even if it already has an elemental effect). The charge attack does the same thing, but WAY bigger. More like an explosion you never get hurt by. By wearing the whole armor set, that extra elemental power does EVEN MORE damage.

Using muddle buds, you can indefinitely chain mounts on Lynels. If you jump off the lynels back, immediately activate bullet time, shoot the ground next to the lynel with a muddle bud, and shoot the lynels head, it's instantly re-stunned and you can mount it again.

Blood moon will revive a boss even if you just killed it, the reason it didnt happen in your clip was that the health bar was still active and the boss was still in its death animation, which meant it died after the blood moon, not before.

For the Sidon-Malduga tip: If you don't want to use too many bomb arrows, pull up the sidon water shield while Malduga charges you, then drop a time bomb right next to you. Malduga eats bombs explodes and falls on ground. You fly to his belly, remove a powerful two-handed weapon with lynel attachment and do the full charge attack. With the radiant set+zora longsword+Silver maldugo jaw+3xAttack boost you can kill a Malduga with one charged spin attack. Even if the above strategy doesn't work in 1 go, by the time you do all of the above you should have sidon shield back and you can just do all of it again.

About the elemental chuchus - just collect all the water ones as they are. then if you want ice, fire or lightning you can bust out as many water ones as you want and just use one elemental attack to transform them all

14:32 Rotating fused weapons using ultrahand is an additional a way you can attack using recall.

21:32 A detail I noticed about attaching gems to swords and such is that if you attach a gem is any weapon it has the same effects as the Fire Rod, Ice Rod, or Lightning Rod from BotW. While attaching gems to a Magic Rod, Magic Scepter, or a Magic Staff it has the same effects as the Meteor Rod, Blizzard Rod, or Thunderstrom Rod from BotW. I took note of this because one of my friends play the game for a short period and found a Wizrobe, but had disappointment because he figured the new fused gems means they got rid of the effects of the Blizzard Rod.

Amazing video as usual

I once had multiple bomb shields and was able to chain them and it was a pretty fast way to get around. It also works with springs.

Thank you so much ❤ your my source for entertainment in totk

Love your videos and the helpful folks in the comments!

My first time seeing a Gleeok I ran the other way. Then I realized with a decent bow and some bullet time they are like the easiest boss in the game 😂

this is really helpful

7:25 muddlebuds are very effective on archers as well

Bro I’d be surprised if you covered SBRs or Ascend Rush in this video 😮 will watch soon

Nice video! I did know a lot of the stuff, but those I didn't were awesome to see (and later try myself n.n). Btw since you did elemental boomerangs in this one, I dont know if you covered it already but an Eightfold Longblade will carry the elemental property of whatever you attached to it (ie a flame gleeok horn) to it[s wind attack, meaning you can freeze/burn/shock enemies a short distance away of you with a weapon that is probably better for going melee than a magic scepter or a weapon with just a gem as attachment.

great vid

16:40 you can also smuggle indestructible U shape parts from the fifth sage quest line challenge and use auto build to summon it, the lynel will just keep roaring for the rest of the fight.

For the muddle bud trick on lynels you kept commenting on the stun when you were getting headshots (or at least it both looked and sounded like it). The very first shot clearly reset/delayed the lynel's animation for a very shot duration (definitely not long enough to mount it from that distance) and the only other time you didn't hit a headshot it immediately cut to the next scene. Not saying its necessarily wrong, just mentioning a detail where the commentary almost seems misleading.

This is pretty cool

19:45. two yoga bases in the depth you can two diff blue prints for the similar set up. Same one of ur favourite auto build slot.

You can transfer chuchu jelly to a different element after killing the chuchu

20:39 Literally right after you had a blood moon, I started having a blood moon in my game! You spread the blood moon disease!!!

Keese eyes do more than go far they follow enemies and aim for weak points

9:18 OMG, thank you! Constantly fighting those "undead" enemies at night and in the Depths was driving me crazy! They are not interesting to fight, they do not drop anything useful, they spawn in at random times (often disadvantageous, like when I'm trying to solve a Korok puzzle or already engaged with other enemies), and they refuse to go away unless you take out their head as well as their body. In sum, an infuriating nuisance fight, and not even a challenge; just annoying. Now I'm going to stockpile dazzlefruit and hopefully never fight them again!

Use a muddle bud on the battle talus. It will take out all the bokoblins for you. Then just ascend up and kill it.

Something I haven't seen anyone mention is that weapons attached to devices can cause damage. Not particularly surprising, perhaps. But you can take, say, a silver lynel scimitar of the seven and fuse it to a drone. This costs six zonaite to autobuild and the sword does an insane amount of damage, with full durability. The only issue is getting it to hit enemies is a little random, a lot of the time it just hits the enemy by itself, but when the sword hits, it oneshots most normal enemies. All for little risk to yourself, low battery cost, and cheap to make. You can even get the original weapon back and save it as a favorite. I dropped like 10 of them down for the enemy army segment and they even managed to kill gibdos, which i assume is either an unintentional bug or a measure of just how much damage it really does. Probably the biggest drawback is that they can hit you if you aren't careful, and that weapon does 138 damage which... is a lot of damage. So be careful where you stand.

4:28 first time I was using my amiibo I got one of these and I was thinking sweet we get ancient weapons back! I was sadly disappointed.

Lynels have an interesting property. When you mount them not only do gloom weapons not cause gloom,also none of your weapons lose durability. Because of this, the best weapon to damage a Lynel is an almost broken Royal Guard Claymore fused with a silver Lynel saber horn.

7:00 I’m wondering, could you call Riju after Sidon, let Molduga bring you into the air, then use Riju’s thunderstrike on the Molduga instead of a bomb arrow?

3:43 I was wondering how powerful it was!! I wasnt sure if sneakstrikes were still octupled damage. Then I was wondering what the improved sneakstrike is. I was just shooting puffshrooms, then using my swords. I've been fusing silver lynel sabers to 8fold blades. I think they're just 6, so that's (55 + 6) * 16 = 976 damage!! Combine that with 1.5 multiplier from fierce deity armor & it's 1464!! To think, I was totally obliterating monsters...

For the fire and ice chu jelly, you can save your fruits and just drop regular chu jelly on the ground in fire or ice climates. Alternatively, you can also save up then drop a bunch, and use 1 fruit on 21 (max items you can drop at once) chu jelly at a time. With 21 chu jelly youll probably moss a couple, but its definitely more efficient

One of the REALLY fun things to do to a Battle Tallus is hit it with a Muddlebud. I'll just say I'm not sure I've seen a Bokoblin fly so high.

Also fusing a wing to a shield and surfing gives you bullet time

You should attach a sled to a shield for longer shield surfing sessions (it's cool!)

The chuchu jelly can also be changed while in it's material state. Like how setting fire to meat changes it and how freezing a meat changes it. Edit: You can actually see the effect happen here lol 18:02

Lynel coliseum is so fun! I’ve done it like 20 times just force blood mooning to keep training, good on aim flurries and weapons, just parties now🤷‍♀️

Something I found out on my own is if you get out of melee range of any Hinox or Stalnox, it will start to throw bomb barrels at you until you reenter melee range, but you can use rewind on the bomb barrels to cheese them.

Hahaha, I was lmao. Great vid!

the ass whiplash from the pushroom at 3:20 kills me everytime

Fusing a glider to a shield is my go to for killing Lynels. Not only can you achieve bullet time with the shield but if you're good enough you can shield surf hop straight onto their back.

20:34 one time i was looking for bubbulfrogs at the colosseum cave and a blood moon happened right before i went in (after i defeated the gleeok) and it also almost spotted me

hey I was wondering if lynel swords are in totk because I love them

⭐️I've had a blood moon appear right after defeating enemies a few times and resurrect them... it definitely happens...⭐️ always freeze enemies for that 3x damage or switch to fire for a chance to instantly kill them...👍

12:39 you can change the standard blue jellies to other elements after you collect them by tossing them near that element

The blood moon will absolutely revive an enemy that you just killed it just depends on how far in the animation it was when it died... If the enemy has already dropped its farmable items, It will return after the blood moon cut scene... I have seen it happen many times with gliocs

One thing I found OP in this game is elemental keese eyes. Using Savage Lynel bow you can literally kill bosses easily esp. when you have a bad aim like me. Well, except lynels coz it is not affected by homing shot

for armored enemies you can use rockets or bombs fused to an arrow, or if you want to swag on them use cannons on either a stabilizer or the roomba

Imagine what would happen if you use Riju’s ability with an ice fruit fused to your arrow over a campfire

A portable cooking pot fused to an arrow should break most armor in one hit.

You can shorter anything into a frog's month, not just bombs.

4:19 i wish they made a throwing animation for the blade, i want to see link throw it and the blade actually spins like a blade would and be faster

Steering Stick vs. Wing Shield. Wing Shield jumping can be done anywhere into arrow time, the steering stick or rock requires you to be in one specific place. 5:06 This is a waste of bombs, make sure to get launched upwards and enter glider mode and shoot it in the eye with a slow motion shot, it will always look up at you with it's mouth open expecting you to fly into it. This exposes it's eye to being shot from above. As long as you keep getting launched in the air and have a arrow and bow, you can easily stun lock it perpetually. There's also the fact that you can use Wing Shield to jump into the air to snipe it's eye at the start of the fight to get on top of it to do this before it can try to inhale you. 5:33 You don't need flint to light wood. A throwable fire elemental item or a fire elemental weapon swung over it will do the same thing. 6:32 Frozen or wet enemies have this effect, yes and I bet it gets brought up again later. 8:36 Puffshrooms work as good, they can make you invisible to the lynel, you can sneak mount lynels and puffshroom them into standing still and mount them. 9:02 The best use for a bomb shield is as an emergency escape method when surrounded, otherwise I stick with wing shield. 9:57 Throw a single dazzle fruit, saves on arrows and bow durability. One dazzle fruit kills all regular, not boss, Stal enemies in a given area. 11:56 You can save on arrows and bow durability by throwing apples or non-explosive items at Zonai devices to activate them. Arrows still used for activating more distant devices. 12:14 This is also a decent way to mine through thick rock walls, but you're likely to get caught up in the back-blast, there are safer and more free mining methods depending on the main quests you've done. 12:22 Weapons don't lose durability when mounting a Lynel, that said, the Lynel is immune to elements and since you start riding it for a bit you are immune to gloom effects while attacking it while mounted. 12:52 I prefer converting chuchu jellies with the environment, regular chuchu jellies count as water or fluid element. For free chuchu jelly conversions drop them next to fires, in snow or drop a metal weapon and get them struck by a lightning bolt in the Faron region for some free jelly conversion. 14:44 Zoanite on ground, shoot a corner of side with an arrow so it rapidly spins on the ground, quickly attach anything to the zoanite, hit recall on the zoanite. 16:17 Dropping metal weapons for the enemies to pick up during a lightning storm. 19:26 Homing tread plus sideway big wheel with several hydrants on it to spin and spray, equal sprinkler robot. Useful against several enemies and bosses, for example... if you have problems with a gibdo swarm, then the sprinkler robot has you covered if you stay right next to them as it will spray water everywhere and gibdo will generally stay stunned while within spray range and take damage. 20:06 you can do this with any Talos and not just Battle Talos, you don't have to wait for a Talos to be stunned, ascend straight through it's body after being thrown or having to hop off to get back to work on it.

Is the max weapons stash 20? Or is there a way to get more weapons stash?

I had never considered the steering stick by itself to be useful, now I’m going Lynel hunting

Can you do a twilight princess short now please for the armor set

Plz do a guide on arrow farming

20:50. The BLOOD MOON respawn will only happen if the targeted creature is no longer on screen. This certainly works for overworld bosses in BOTW as I defeated an Igneo Talus and a couple of seconds later the BLOOD MOON activated and I ended up fighting it again.

12:12 by time you're late game enough to power that, you're better off using Minera with a Frost dragon horn to destroy it in seconds

The time bomb was cool

Here's a little tip for Hinoxes. If you're fighting a Hinox and can get up to a high place, do exactly that and the only thing the Hinox can do is throw rocks at you. But when he throws a rock at you, use Recall and the rock will actually damage the Hinox.

Tip:fuse a wing to any shield so when you start to perform a shield surf you go high enough to bullet time (ZL,A,B,ZR spam)

“All the balls will fly everywhere”

For the rock bullet time at 7:34, the surface must be flat, and you have to ascend through the rock quickly for it to work.

Put a lizolfos tail on a boomerang or gives you a pretty great whip and also does a pretty awesome throw, it’s one of my fav things to fuse to the rang

Yahaha! You found me!

Where do you get the ice helmet and Ancient Blade from?

Puffshroom + Eight Fold Blade = Beautiful Stealth Dmg

Alongside Gloom weapons not hurting you when you're riding a Lynel, all weapons won't lose durability, either. This means you should get a Royal Guard's Claymore, fuse it with a Silver Lynel Horn or Molduga jaw, use it until its last hit, then save it for the Lynels. You will be doing tons upon tons of damage this way.

For a frox when they knock you of you can go into bullettime and shoot them in the eye agin

I've never even thought of throwing bombs in a frox's mouth while I'm airborne. I just go for eye shots (works just as well, but a little harder).

21:10 bad tip you can do this with any weapon. The mage weapon is a rate wand drop from Magirobes

You can flurry rush the gloom hands and it makes them look like an idiot

pro tip: on the colosseum gleeok you can ascend up the edges and get bullet time

Some fact I've seen before: Hitting a Lynel with a Muddle Bud will force them to don't draw their bow for the duration of the muddling effect.

One tip you missed out on is attaching a saber lynel horn on any Zoe’s spear (lightscale trident recommended.) and just simply using Sidons ability. If you put a saber lynel horn on a lightscale trident it ends up doing an insane 154 damage and not only that but it’s the most durable weapon in the game. I killed a silver moblin with only 1 charge attack by doing this.

What about using Gloom weapons while having the rupee padding effect of the Mystic Armor?

"you can get bullet time and defeat enemies" [shoots an innocent fox who was just minding its own business]

I love da molduga theme

You should have used a muddlebud when the boko picked up the bomb flower sword lol

- Try dazzle fruits on bats when they leave a cave!!! Surprise... And with the lynel bow you can use the dazzle fruit as well on a stalnox, just shoot in the approximate area of the eye... - Elements of jellies are all interchangable, and that since BotW... - If the enemy leave the material before the blood moon it comes back fast, sometimes out of your sight...

Yo, subscribe to this channel. You honestly won’t regret it. Great tips, likable dude, right up there with Austin John. Philly is the man 🤙🏻

The big question I have… When a Frox is staring up with its mouth open, will simply dropping a bomb while paragliding work, or do you have to shoot it?

Did you know frox can jump like 100 meters in the air? One took me off my hovercraft and i wasn't expecting it, it was fricken awesome!

Keese eye's give homing properties to arrows, Keese Wings make them go farther.

surprised you didnt mention using muddlebud on battle talus to have it kill the bokablins on top for you

Does the BotW trick where you grab a thrown giant boomerang mid-air with magnesis work in TotK with ultrahand? That could result in some op crap

Does the Forest Dwellers Shield have the same effect as the weapons? Might be nice as a bomb shield.

Personally with Frox I like to wait for them to suck, then pull a timer bomb out. It’s way easier. Other bombs or cannons require some skill to get in there, but timer bombs don’t.

Your able to put blue chu chu jelly on the ground and then throw a fire or ice or whatever at it and it changes the color of the chu chu to whatever you threw at it

19:10 ah yes the FIRE hydrant

Shoot Lynels with muddlebud from a ledge or tree and they can't find you. They'll roar but that's it and you can shoot then with bombs til they die. Takes several shots so extra bows and damage potions are a good idea.

I had a Blood Moon happen after I killed a Talus too. Only my Talus had just exploded. So after the cutscene, it came back.

i like to use muddle buds on battle talus so it just throws off all the bokos and gets rid of them for me

In BOTW, I fought a Silver Lynel and killed it. I sat by a campfire until the next day hoping a blood moon wouldn't happen. But it happened X(. And the Lynel came back to life, so I felt I had to fight it. I think it only respawns when the death animation is done.

Love the videos but good lord Philly get some sleep!! You look beyond exhausted 🥱

Wow
