Fighting Lynels can be intimidating and challenging. For beginners, it's not easy. You probably should avoid beating them if you're not afraid of dying once in a while. But after you know what they do and learn the basics, it will be easier to kill them. We'll learn their attack patterns so we know how to dodge and parry everything they do. You'll get some basic strategies and fighting Lynels won't be so scary!

Hi Hylians! I just wanted to add a mistake in the video. It's a mistake, but not really a mistake. Without going into details, Lynels do not upgrade depending on how many you defeat and how many divine beast. Well it does, but not exactly that. Each enemy you defeat will add an invisible counter. each enemy has their own individual number. When you reach a certain number, enemies will upgrade. Lynels, and Divine beast just have a big number =P I hope this makes sense! =) You can watch this! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rWFy8v9snfs.html

When the Lynel breathes fire at you and you are in a grassy environment, run far away from the Lynel and let the grass get lit on fire. Use the updraft to shoot the Lynel in the face and sprint towards him to mount him and with a good weapon you’ll deal a great deal of damage. Hope this helps!

@MaxWelton 3 года назад

0:36 the level of Lynel actually depends on the World Level mechanic. Every time certain enemies die, they add a certain amount to a hidden tally that upgrades certain enemies. Certain enemies don’t contribute at all, like Red and Blue Bokos/Lizalfos/Moblins and their Stal equivalents, Chuchus, Keese, Stone Pebblits, and wildlife like foxes, bears, etc. Because the Blight Ganons contribute so much to the World Level, they give the illusion that beating a Divine Beast automatically upgrades enemies.

“The more you fight lynels the better you get at defeating them” this is 100% true I used to be scared of them so I fought a lynel for the first time I died 2 times and 1 day later I can kill a silver lynel without dying once. I recommend using miphas grace it’s very useful sometimes when you backflip the lynel can still hit you so if you die you’ll be revived.

Well in reality, the game have a hidden ranking system where it records your XP by killing monsters. Once your XP have met, the monsters will rank up including stronger variable weapons with yellow modifiers. I haven't started the Divine Beast quest on Master Mode. I realize the enemies just ranking up from blue to silver due to amount of XP I have.

@CarlosMendez-tn5zi Год назад

Amother trick, when you dismount them, they run in the direction they are facing. This is the order: Dismount > they run away > they return but not attack > they run away again > they return to attack. If you dismount them and run away, you have a chance to autoaim with your bow, and hit them in the face when they are returning but not attacking. If you hit them, then you run to mount them again and repeat this process. I ended up using like 25-30 arrows and not a single durability point out of my double handed sword. Although I did break my soup pot shield...

@sirbarker1948 4 года назад

2 more things to add on to this great video: 1. I'm pretty sure that you can't stun the lynel by shooting its face if it has its bow out. you will do extra damage, but it won't stagger. It has happened to me but I'm not 100% sure if this is true. 2. After the lynel roars to perform the fire slam move, a more bold player can run right up to its face and shoot the lynel right before it attacks (in the face to stun). This is because there is a crucial moment where the lynel is stationary. However, if you miss or don't make it in time, chances are you'll take massive damage from the attack. Thus, you should only try this if you know what you're doing or if you have means of revival/many hearts. Hope this helps!

@timetotango9453 3 года назад

Furthermore, in expert mode, against Golden Lynels, an explosion attack will cost you at least 28 hearts even if your armor gear is at 60 (ex. fully upgraded barbarian gear). So consider turning mypha’s ability on and bearing fairies or it will be instant game over. :) UPDATED However you will be able to survive a lynel explosion if you have a 88 armor combined with LVL 3 protection+ with only 4 hearts (you suffer 26 hearts of damage) Damn! (Without the LVL 3 protection you die)

@MaxWelton 3 года назад

Time to Tango! Harmony what if you use even better armor, like fully upgraded Amber Earrings, Champions Tunic, and Soldier’s Greaves? That gets your armor to 88.

@MaxWelton 3 года назад

A safer way is to Stasis hit them before they unleash the fire slam attack, but it staggers them a lot less than face shots, meaning no mounting them for you. It’s a reliable tactic for if you’re not confident in your archery skills.

@FoxPrimed 3 года назад

Here's a tip to interrupt a Lynel that has his bow out and drawn arrows ready to snipe you. If you can quickly use stasis + on the Lynel and quickly use your own bow to hit the Lynel anywhere on it's body not just including the face of course, it will be staggered temporarily after it comes out of stasis +. You can then walk up to the Lynel to force it to change to it's melee weapon where it can be scuessfully hit in the face again to stun it to where you can do whatever you want to damage it.

Lynels are a great challenge, in fact, i had fun fighting my first one. Even though it took 2.5 hours to get 19 perfect parries and perfect bow shots and a lot of Y button presses, i did it. It is quite rewarding.

@EurydiceGaming 2 года назад

never knew you can hide from the spinning swing by chilling under the lynel’s stomach lol hopefully they get new attacks and get stronger in botw 2 cuz i basically eat them for all meals now and i miss the challenge they used to give

@guid3au 4 года назад

If you consecutively parry the fire balls and get close enough(like in front if his face), the next parried fireball will recoil the lynel. Just a useless info considering how you can just shoot em in the face but pretty cool to pull off just for fun! Based from my experiences with lynels they only do a 2nd AoE attack when they're half way through their health and the best ways to deal with this move is to stasis then hit em to knock em off of their AoE attack but if stasis is still loading then the next best option is like in the video, parry! Still unsure if they can do more than 2 AoE attacks in a fight. I think i've had a lynel that did 3 in one fight.

@100PercentZelda 4 года назад

Yes I think this is right. Once the the beginning and one half way. I think he'll do one again eventually. Its fun to try and parry everything. Haha

@audreyhopkin700 3 года назад

The first time I even encountered a Lynel it was the silver one in the coliseum. I stood on the highest level where it couldn’t detect me, lured it out with remote bombs, and picked it off with arrows shot from a phrenic bow. It took thirty minutes and all my arrows. I’ve since learned this is neither the easiest nor the right way to do this.

@JoelHernandez-tz3vk 2 года назад

What bothers me so much about the lynels is how underwhelming the ACTUAL bosses are by comparison. But then I suppose that's the bosses' fault. Like you'd think the blights would be so tough they'd make you wish you were fighting a gold lynel instead. Then calamity Ganon is so tough that he makes you wish you were fighting his 4 blights at once instead.

@mickyguga8939 Год назад

I agree the bosses should be tougher (including overworld bosses, they are a joke but still get a boss healthbar) but if they were as hard as gold lynels then casual/younger players couldn't beat them. I think in master mode and the champions trials they should be buffed even more so that everyone can beat the game but if you want a real challenge the bosses will give you one. But even in normal mode Ganon should be harder, even in my first run when I couldnt beat Lynels I forgot to put on real armor and defeated him first try in the sneak armor. That shouldn't be possible...

You can parry it, but it's kinda tough. You can also crouch UNDER the lynel to avoid it, strangely enough.

I do what you did at the end. Works really well. Particularly if you've already defeated one and have a multi shot now (I like using shock arrows). As long as you're decent with a bow you can take them.

@guid3au 4 года назад

You can backflip to flurry rush the lynel crusher spin attack? Would you look at that, something I didn't know despite hours of lynel hunting! I usually just parry when I feel ballsy or move away.

@100PercentZelda 4 года назад

You can flurry rush, but it's probably better to parry. if you dodge, you might get hit by the spin attack coming back around

@TheNerdHasReturned 2 года назад

Quick and easy way to fight Lynels that I use Requirements: a weapon, a bow, and Stasis + Start by jumping on its back, where the hits don’t deal damage to your weapon. Then jump off and stasis it, quickly hitting it with a bow while it is stopped. After the shot, quickly go to the front of it and shoot it’s head, bringing it down so you can ride it. Then just repeat the process. This works with any strength of bow, preferably with higher durability. For the weapon, anything with a decent attack will work (technically even a stick would work if you had enough durability on your bow)

My first lynel was super frustrating, defeated him after a lot, and i mean a lot, of trying. After that I noticed my dodging got better. So after some hours of gameplay I decided to try and take on more lynels. The red and blue ones are kinda fun now honestly. So keep trying!!!! If you aren’t good at dodging I suggest practicing with some low level enemies, just try to dodge their attacks

Late to the game, but I’ve been playing BOTW for a few weeks now. Love it! Been practicing on my lynel fights. I usually have to eat a lot of hearty meals but can win. Finally, last night had a fight where I took minimal damage. Tried using my shield more to parry. Flurry rushes and shield parry’s. Made sure I put my two handed weapon away to pull out my shield in between attacks.

@kira_nathan Год назад

Once i upgraded my barbarian armor set, the Lynel on ploymus mountain only did around a single heart of damage with every swing! Im pretty sure you can take even less with the champions tunic, so I highly recommend upgrading your armor.

@HenrikMyrhaug 3 года назад

It is important to note that in order to get a flurry rush you have to jump while the lynel is swinging its weapon towards you, not to actually dodge its weapon’s hurtbox. You can get cut in half and still get a flurry rush and take no damage, and you can dodge its weapon perfectly and not get a flurry rush. This is because in order to dodge the weapon, you need to jump before the lynel is in its attacking phase, meaning before its weapon has an active hurtbox. This will not grant a flurry rush. In order to get a flurry rush however, you need to jump after the lynel’s weapon has activated its hurtbox. When you do this, the game grants you a flurry rush and turns off the hurtbox of the weapon, allowing you to get hit while in a flurry rush without taking damage. This does not protect you from other enemies’ attacks, however. The goal of a flurry rush is not to dodge the weapon, but rather to jump while an active hurtbox exists. The flurry rush timing is completely whack, but once you learn how it works it becomes quite easy to pull off.

@tims_adventures 8 месяцев назад

That explanation genuinely helps so much. Im able to pull them off a lot but not consistently and the timing always confused me because i would dodge before they started to swing thier weapon and miss the attack but not pull off a flurry rush. Hopefully i can pull it off more now

@KingKP96 2 года назад

I think the biggest issue a lot of people have is similar to the issue people have when fighting Souls bosses. It's a big intimidating monsters that can hit you hard for a lot of damage. It's very punishing if you do get hit and therefore most people just end up afraid of fighting. With enemies/bosses like this you need to remember that it all comes down to pattern recognition, reaction, and experience. You obviously aren't going to be crushing them on your first attempt, but that's why it's important not to be afraid of them. Fight big scary things, get killed, learn, come back stronger. Most scary fights in games can be broken down just like the Lynels where they have a few unique attributes/behaviors and a set of 4 or 5 attacks. Once you figure it out you're golden! Definitely respect enemies and bosses and the fact that they can destroy you if you don't know what you're doing or you're overconfident, but don't be afraid of them.

@murtymcfly 4 года назад

While the Lynel charges up an 'Explosion' (as i call it) a bold player can parry the attack, or shoot it in the face, also, for Crusher Lynels crouching next to them makes them do a spin attack, go underneath their bellies, go in for a counter attack, parrying/flurry rushing just kills everything, everything you know is usless as long as you just flurry rush everything, i wish this video wasn't made years after the game came out.

@StarBoundFables Год назад

@riotangel4701 3 года назад

I've always had a rough time engaging crusher-armed lynels using crushers myself. Nearly every time landing one or two hits on him, even with jump cancelling, there's just not enough time to switch to shield to parry their horizontal spin attacks. Occasionally, on certain positions close to the lynel I might receive a light hit which lets me remain standing inside its spin and thereby avoiding its usual blow-back hit that attack is meant to deliver. I haven't pin-pointed that yet. Anyway, if I can just squat underneath it to avoid any hit altogether, that's cheesy but I'll take it.

@QueenofSilence101 2 года назад

0:45 Or use the Sheikah Slate. Apparently, lynels take using the Sheikah Slate as a threat, too. For instance, if you try to get close to them for a picture, they'll attack once you pull out the camera - even with Majora's Mask on.
