Tips for Specific Enemies - Tears of the Kingdom 

Something important that I'm 90% sure about with Lynels: If one has already drawn its bow, you CANNOT stun it. You can shoot it in the face and you'll hear the critical hit sound effect, but the Lynel will still fire at you. This "invincibility" also protects it from muddle buds. If the Lynel is already aiming at you when you connect with a muddle bud, it will fire the shot before sheathing its bow.

If you use a gloom weapon on a lynels back it doesn’t do gloom damage

I found that homing carts with hydrants are pretty useful against Mucktorock. They can clear a lot of his mud off the arena and can even stun him occasionally. The downside is that is that it can be battery intensive, escpecially if you use multiple carts.

A tip I recently learned against grounded octoroks is that you can use the earthquake attack to hit them while they're underground. It's useful when the recall strat doesnt work

From another video I watched, using your most powerful item fused to a Royal Guard claymore is the ultimate lynel buster, because when they're nearly broken, they do double damage. When you're mounted, like in BOTW, your weapon doesn't lose durability, and that means you can repeatedly use a royal guards claymore on its back.

I dont know if someone pointed this out but another tip id give for phantom ganons is to be more aggressive with attacks Not in the sense of "oh if you button mash you kill him faster" but if you do attack him his gloom area that reduces your hearts will temporaneally reduce and if you attack him more it will disappear for a short period of time allowing you to get closer to him without worrying about your hearts getting gloomed

One thing to add about Queen Gibdo; the Gibdo Nests CAN be destroyed without Riju by using any type of explosive (which Riju's Lightning actually does create). The nests are programed to only take damage from explosives, so a single bomb arrow on the weak points can collapse them.

Of all of the interesting interactions that I left out of the video, here's a cool one that comes to mind: You can dispel a like-like's fire or ice attacks by waving a wand of the opposite type. P.S. Is it bo-KOBlin or BOKO-blin? I used to say the latter until I was told it's the former, but I'm not so sure...

Apparently a lot of people don't know that you can beat Colgera without weapons. All you have to do is paraglide over it, wait until it starts shooting its spikes, and skydive through the weak spots. It's way easier and it saves on resources. Hope this comes in handy for at least one person :)

Great video! I found that with gleeoks, using an opposing element's keese eyeball does extra damage, so a fire-keese eyeball with a 3 shot bow would actually one-shot the heads of a frost gleeok, instead of needing two shots, or a frost-keese eyeball on a flame gleeok, etc. Not super helpful, but every small resource saved adds up.

in the second phase of all gleeok fights, when they fly up really high, they always provide you a way to get up to them, so don’t worry if you miss a headshot before then! - fire gleeoks shoot a big fireball to create a massive updraft - thunder gleeoks strike the ground with lightning to create thinner, but still strong updrafts - ice gleeoks (my personal favourite) rain down big icicles that you can climb up and use recall on. i’m not entirely positive, but i think the bigger ones spawn higher up (and thus will take you higher up) with the added challenge of being harder to climb. - king gleeoks are a chaotic mix of all three, and i believe that the easiest one to use is the recall on the icicles, because while in recall i don’t think that more will spawn to hit you off yours. sorry if any of that didn’t make sense, just thought it was worth pointing out.

I love using recall on Talus arms. Especially when you stop them right before they hit you.

On the topic of lynels, shooting the back of their head with a muddle bud arrow after dismounting it will allow you to instantly mount it again (you just need to hit it whilst it is affected).

Puffshrooms actually make Lynels a piece of cake - they don’t just run out with ease. I usually shot Yunobo at one giving me fire to get in the air, use bullet time and before I land hit it with a puffshroom then finish them off.

your awesome bruh thank you!!! i was already a senior since i played the btw but totk came with lots of enemies and mechanics that idk but you explained them all in one single video! thank you, really, keep goin and stay strong💪💪💪

For Gleeoks, as long as you're prepared before the fight with several rocket shields and a multi-shot bow, you can kill it while keeping it locked down the entire time. Come in from above it, and when you get close to them (I like to aim for landing right in front of them), bullet-time shoot all three heads. Then attack them with your melee weapon while they're stunned on the ground. As soon as they start to wake back up, use a rocket shield so that you can get into bullet-time for when they regen their horns. As soon as the horns start to regen, shoot all three heads again while in that bullet-time, then they'll fall back down, rinse, repeat, done.

When fighting Moldugas, you can also you cannon fused weapons instead of your bomb arrows. You gerudo buddy works too, both on foot and on zonai devices. When using Zora weapons, best way to get wet is to just let Sidon get you wet.

If you're confident in your parrying you can parry each Lynel attack and shoot it in the face as it finds its footing, then mount. The lack of durability loss makes near-broken royal guard fusion weapons stupid powerful. Just be careful to not trigger an air attack and subsequently break your weapon the moment it bucks you off.

8:31 I think it's worth using one weapon inventory slot for your Lynel killer that you only use on Lynels backs so it never breaks. Use a nearly broken Royal Guard Claymore with a Molduga jaw attached while wearing the upgraded Radiant Armour for maximum damage.

So far, I've killed 2 Phantom Ganons by getting the high ground and being good at headshots to stun-lock. I don't think Phantom Ganon teleports as long as he can see you. Under the Deku Tree, I knocked him back until I out-range him, and he didn't teleport to my platform.

So happy to finally see someone mention sitting on the back of the Frox to get thrown into the air and enter bullet time for an easily repeatable strat. Solid video. A few other tips: Molduga - You can use Sidon’s water bubble and get knocked into the air then stun it with a bomb arrow. His bubble allows you to take no damage from 1 attack and you have lots of time to find him to get the bubble in this fight. Easiest big enemy to farm later and then cook the guts with a critter to make lots of money when sold Lynels - Everyone now knows about Bone Proficiency+Bone-fused Royal Guard’s Claymore BUT even if you don’t do that, ALWAYS climb on their backs so that you don’t use up the durability of your strongest weapon. Instead of waiting to be thrown off you can leap off them and even get fancy with an arrow to the back of the head. Keese eyeball arrow shot after you land when it runs away then turns around usually gets another stun and you just run over and mount again. Marbled Gonna in Depths - Just launch a hover stone with a rocket after you stand on it. You can sit up there and safely shoot his eyeball without taking any damage LOL Mucktorok - There are 2 auto build schematics that have water; A rainmaker (hover stone+rocket+hydrant+battery) and a sprinkler system. Try making your own by putting a stabilizer and big wheel on top of a homing cart then add a hydrant on either side of the wheel. Now you have a driving sprinkler that chases down the little bastard and you can hide behind it to avoid his range attack too!

I lean heavily into melee combat vs. lynels too. But when dismounting them (this takes more than just starting stamina) you can instantly get about 5 headshots on the way down. Want an easy headshot to mount again? Dodge the horn swing just a bit too early to trigger the flurry, and he will give you time as he recoups from his own whiplash.

Spoiler alert for characters you'll meet, what you'll get for completing temples, & what armour you can get & where from. 4:08 You can one-shot sleeping Hinoxes. After completing the Water Temple, get the Lightscale trident & attach a Molduga jaw. Get the Evil Spirit Armour from the mazes or the Radiant Armour from Kakariko village & upgrade the set twice. Use Sidon's ability to wet yourself before sneaking up on the Hinox & fully charge with your Molduga trident.

There are 3 parts that can be fused together (even autobuilt) to force the lynel into a roar loop. Metal chests, indestructible U blocks from the right leg depot or the lighter than air rail from the right leg depot. Once you've stuck any two of these items together. Simply ultra hand them towards the lynels face and it will begin to roar in order to break them apart. But since these items cannot break. It will leave them in a loop of contently roaring while you give them the beating of their life

Weapon tips for Lynels: -If you dont care about durability, royal weapons are the way to go. Your best opportunity to attack comes during flurry rushes, which will give these weapons 2x total damage. Thats a better buff than the Gerudo 2x fuse damage and they'll last longer. -Royal Guard weapons do 2x damage when they're about to brake, so you can use them on the back of a stunned Lynel for massive damage since that doesn't break weapons. If they're on the last hit, it stacks with the general last hit bonus for 4x damage! Just make sure to switch to a different weapon when you're off its back.

On a Lynel, I like using an Ancient Claymore that's about to break while I'm on its back. Your weapon does no damage to itself while on the back of a Lynel, and your weapon is stronger as it's about to break. And plus you get critical hits. I also wear the Barbarian armor with attack up and my weapon is fused with a silver Lynel horn. Others fused a Molduga bone, wore the Radiant armor and eating attack up food. As for the Gleeok, I use my 5 shot multi-bow in bullet-time until I hit the ground. Then I pull out my strongest two-handed weapon and spin attack it's head(s) for critical hits. If I don't kill it, I either let it soar upwards and I finish it with Keese eyeballs, or I lift myself upwards somehow and finish it in bullet-time.

Parrying against lynels is AWESOME. Parry, backflip, shoot arrow to stun. Deal a couple of hits, mount the lynel, give some more free hits till he throws you off. Enter bullet time and deal some more crits by shooting him in the neck

for molduga you can use Sidon ability. it creates a bubble of water around you and allows you to be invincible for one hit, let the molduga throw you in the air without taking damage then enter bullet time, shoot bomb arrow with a triple bow to knock it down and destroy it in one cycle with a charged attack using a powerful 2 handed weapon. 30 seconds fights.

Using a bow against colgera is the lame method, I prefer the bird man strategy of skydiving through the weak points Edit: the queen gibdo spawners are destroyable with a bomb flower

8:02 This can be avoided by shooting multiple puffshrooms at the ground surrounding the first cloud.

He did not seem to mention this for lynels, but I think the royal weapons are the best for killing them. The increased damage for flurry rushing is incredibly useful. (btw the mount attacks on lynels don't consume weapon durability if the weapon is not one hit from breaking. use royal guards weapons that are about to break fused with the highest attack thing you can find to deal massive damage)

For the lynels you can just use royal guards weapons on their backs, if they are on low durability then it doubles their attack damage, and if you have a high fuse damage thing fused to it that is doubled as well. (If you didn’t know if you use weapons on lynels back they don’t lose durability)

Perry everthing then shoot it in the face. You then can pull your almost broken weapons. And deal hundreds of damage.

9:58 Bone proficiency can be combined with Attack up this way & any weapon is made a bone weapon by attaching a bone attachment to it. Colgeras jaw doesn't count as bone but the Molduga jaw does.

This video was super helpful for me. Although I'm a long time enthusiastic Zelda player, I've never been very skilled at the combat aspect of the games. I appreciate the time you took to make this video. I know this next question will likely sound quite silly, but do you (or anyone) have any suggestions on a video about tips on general hand to hand combat in TOTK?

You can literally just fall though the culgaras thingys and break them, you can beat the whole boss without using any weapon, that bass was way to easy

Best way to get a lot of damage equip the armor that gives you bone proficiency, take a lvl 3 food buff, use a zora weapon with the Magulda jaw on it, then use the water sage power and boom. 2x attack from the zora weapon, 2x attack from the bone proficiency, and finally, the attack up from lvl 3 food buff. It's alot of setup, but you beat any boss fast

Don’t forget about bone weapon attack upgrades with the radiant and evil spirit armor sets. You can attach a Molduga to a weapon strong weapon, then the armor set gives you an attack boost.

I always flurry rush with pristine royal swrod fused with white lynel horn, and only need one weapon I can finish it off. I do carry a gerudo greatsword however, useful when hopping on lynels

Groom hand are weak to lightning attacks. I found out by accident 21:00

for the ice gleock you can use fire keese eyes with a triple bow to knock it down in one hit (and ice keese eyes for the fire gleock)

One could autobuild a hover bike to fly above the flying gleook as well :P

Queen Gibdo: I didn't do this myself but I've seen it done. Put a tire sideways on a spike and put several mirrors on it, and save it as an autobuild. During the fight in the fortress, place that in a beam of light and it'll cut that gibdo army to ribbons, protecting you while you do your thing with the dispensers and Queen Gibdo. Unfortunately, there's no beam of light when fighting her in the depths, and trying it with a Zonai light did nothing. It makes me want to replay the whole story with what I know now! Mucktorok: Try robots with a hydrant attached. Gleeok: From "WTF Gaming" I learned the strategy of attacking with bullet time and then, when it's down, doing FIVE hits, then retreating to the high place to get bullet time again. (NOTE: My sages mess this up for me when I try it, throwing off the count because they're hitting it too. Whether you want to turn those off in a gleeok fight is up to you.) The Yiga Schematic for the scaffold will be helpful. You can get a bullet time at ground level with a simple steering stick from your inventory.

Dragon shards on multi shot bows. Thank me later.

I know you said that this would be the final tips video, but I would love a video on different uses for the sages. Stuff like: Using Mineru to safely traverse Gloom, jumping off of her to get bullet time or using Yunobo whilerunning through grass to create an updraft.

If you use the master sword against phantom Gannon it does extra damage

Pristine forest dweller sword can be found in the depth below the lost wood depth

19:23 It's hard to destroy Queen Gibdo without taking down the respawning pilars of gibdos. I know you have look for Riju to help make ur yellow circle but it's worth taking the pillars out other wise you'll be looking to take down the queen and will be using up all ur arrows shooting arrows at enemies and trying to find the queen. The secret... DAZZLEFRUIT... . Yes dazzlefruit paralyzes the gibdos for a while allowing you to easily focus better on the pillas. Taking down the gibdo pillars helps make the 2nd last of the fight easier and as long as u have like 35 arrows entering the fight you can do this beat this boss.

not sure if anyone has said this yet or not but in the Queen Gibdo fights in the depths you can break the gibdo spawners without Riju's help if you hit the towering mushroom spawners with a bomb arrow when the holes appear to drop more gibdo's. this trick only works when then holes are open.

Anyone mentioned the bonus damage Master Sword inflicts on Gloom enemies? Anything covered in Gloom, including Gloom Spawn and Phantom Ganon, seems to take an extra licking from the glowing blade. Right after defeating the Hands, you can actually attack Ganon before he's fully spawned in. If you beefed up the Master Sword enough, with a proper Atk buff you can get rid of him before he even gets to attack. Not even remotely menacing anymore

bro one time i had just killed a muldoga and grabed its stuff and then THERE WAS A BLOOD MOON AND I HAD TO FIGHT IT AGIAN

I like to practice with the red lynel in Akala, south of skull lake

This video is very insightful! Especially for the stronger enemies like Lynels and Gleeoks. I've managed to beat one black Lynel by using puff shrooms and getting on its back that way.

For Lynels I simply place 2 pulsed turrets (each turret has 2 heads) with 6 beam emitters each (12 emitters in total), placed on 2 separate floating stones, and then I fight them normally but with backup.

Thx, I just getting started and have my 1st round of silver beast loot. But I wanted to maximize my efforts and early high rate fuse material. This vid was not only what I needed but got my creative side going too. Thx again keep the vids coming. I just got the White sword and was curious about what you recommend players use it for.

I was intimidated by gleeoks. I fought the colosseum one twice (died half a dozen times) before I fought a king gleeok. Then another king. I still have to fight the fire ice and the Faron electric gleeoks. If you approach a cave around dusk, before night fall, a swarm of keese fly out. If you shoot an aerocuda in the sky level of the world it will just give you the drops if it doesn’t hit anything before it goes poof. With puffshrooms vs Lyonels: I’ve found if I hide myself and then dodge the incoming attack while staying within the cloud the Lyonel will lose track of me. I then used a second puffshroom on him so I can get close and do the stun shot to the face and do the back riding tactic.

here is a long list of extra tips when it comes to combat. savage lynel bows are your friend. i suggest once u start consistently killing lynels (tips on how to do so later on) u should start saving the bows. you should go for at least 3-5 in ur inventory at all times. then, go to death mountain and look for some rock octoroks (pretty easy to find urself but just look up a vid if u have some issues), save infront of them, drop ur bow, wait for the octorok to spit the bow back out, and check to see if the bow has the "5 shot" property. if it does, kill the octorok and continue, if it doesnt, reload that save. this will do two things: 1. repair ur bow incase it was about to break, meaning u dont need to fight more lynels if u dont want to, and 2. give u the best bow in the game dps wise. the thing about bows in this game is that u can honestly win most fights with them alone as long as u can consistently use bullet time and have strong fuses like bombs, gibdo bones, and lynel horns. a lot of the tips leo brought up in the video work really well, but if u wanna be as efficient/boring as possible, a few 5 shot bow shots is all you will ever need for all of the basic mobs, most of the minibosses, and a few of the bosses. (spoiler for story past the 4 regional phenomena) the easiest way to consistently get bullet time is with mineru. just hop on her back, jump off of it and pull out your bow. you wont need this a lot of the time as there will be uneven terrain everywhere, but its still good for consistent bullet time. if ur having trouble finding bombs, they are in practically every cave in the game and also are pretty common in the depths. if u are okay with it, you can also dupe them. there are tons of ways to do so, but the best for u is up to personal preference and what version of the game ur running. for gibdo bones, if u already completed the regional phenomena for gerudo then its going to be pretty difficult to consistently find them, but they are also in a lot of caves in gerudo and u can also dupe them. if u want to make lynel farming even more effiecient, theres a long process hard to explain with a comment, so simply just go to austin john's video about lynel farming and do what he says (make sure to fuse the molduga jaw to the claymore instead of a lynel saber). combining that video with my mineru tech allows for pretty consistent lynel farming. if u dont want to do that though, u can simply climb up really high, glide down to the lynel, and spam 5 shot lynel bows with molduga jaws, gibdo bones, or silver lynel saber horns until it eventually dies. if u want to do as much damage as possible, get either the evil spirit or radiant armor. the evil spirit armor is faster to get compared to getting the radiant armor and having to level it up to level 2, but the radiant armor provides better defense. then, make sure to fuse ur strongest weapons with molduga jaws (tips on how to kill them later). then, u need to make sure u have attack 3 food on hand, and now u will be doing tons of damage. one of the easier ways to get attack 3 food is to just cook 5 mighty bananas (theres a good amount in the faron region, specifically near the dondons), and using 4 mighty bananas and a dragon horn will make it last 30 minutes (go to austin johns video about how to farm dragons). in order to kill moldugas effectively, its quite simple with my mineru tech. get on mineru and just start running away from the molduga (make sure its already chasing u). then, as soon as it leaps out of the sand it should be far away enough that it doesnt hit u. get off of mineru immediately and start spamming bow shots at its chest. if u have the savage lynel bow and barbarian armor with some bomb arrows, you can one shot it within one bullet time. like i said eariler, 5 shot lynel bows are the easiest way to kill most enemies the majority of the time. more examples of this are the gloom spawn/hands and phantom ganon. the thing about nearly every gleeok is that they are near some form of elevation that allows you to drop down and get free bullet time. obviously u can do so with my mineru method, but if they start firing beams at u before u can get off it can be a little challenging. minus that, equip the radiant or evil spirit armor, take out a weapon with a molduga jaw attached (a pristine gerudo scimitar, pristine gerudo claymore, or the scimitar of the seven are best), and start wailing on it. if u couldnt kill it before it gets back up and starts to fly (will always happen with king gleeoks), simply run out of the range for its gust attack, get back on mineru, and repeat (might need keese eyeballs if its a little too high up). for colgera, fly above it and simply fly into it's circular weak spots, its a lot faster than trying to shoot them with arrows. this works best with the glide suit armor. mucktoroks are pretty easy to kill if u just time mineru's bullet time properly. sure, it moves around pretty fast in its second phase once its out of the mud shark, but it slows down significantly in bullet time, so use a few splash fruit arrows and ur good. the queen gibdo is honestly not much of a challenge if u bullet time into a bomb arrow and then a couple gibdo bone/molduga jaw/silver lynel saber horn right into its face. if u dont want to only use arrows, u can simply walk up behind it once u get rid of its outer layer and perform a charge attack with a 2 handed weapon until it gets stunned. a pretty situational weapon that deals tons of damage is the lightscale trident, the champion weapon of the zora. when u are wet, its damage will double, and since it is a spear it will do tons of damage when flurry rushing (or by using its charge attack). attach a molduga jaw to it and pull out a hydrant to stay wet (or just hope its raining) and u can reek havoc. one flurry rush with this weapon, radiant armor, a hydrant, and attack 3 food is enough to kill ganon's first phase out right.

Good thing is when you fight Hinox, shoot in head or throw dazzle, land the hits, then when he standup, run between his legs for lenght of bow shot, he will get confused for 2 seconds, then turn around and search for you. This is enough time to run turn around and aim, he will approach shoot him in the eye or throw dazzle, then repeat until beaten up. Helped me dozen times even with harder Hinoxes or Stalnoxes :D

For Gleeoks, before they start attacking you, they do a roar. If you are able to knock all three heads down before it finishes the roar (preferably in bullet time), every time it gets up, it will try to do the roar again. It's an excellent time to pull out a rocket/bomb shield and go into bullet time again.

did you do a tips-and-tricks one with the final boss, Ganodorf? because his final phase before the easy-ass one just about broke me TTwTT but not as badly as when the game crashed o me and i had to do a force quit when swapping weapons in the menu like a headless chicken...

Great video! Thanks!!! I'm sure everyone tells you this, but I will say it too: you deserve much more followers.

Love this video and helped me beat a gleeok!! On another note you sound like Kurtis Connor so now I’m pretty sure Kurtis has a secret gaming account.

13:08 tossing 3 topaz one after the other at gloom hands will finish them off and immediately put you in fight with Phantom Ganon. (Wear the lightning helm to keep you from getting shocked)...I haven't tried using a ×3 bow with it to see if you only need to do it once yet

Attaching hydrants to homing carts can free your hands from trying to clean the gunk, but I found that building a vehicle and attaching the hydrant works too, let’s you run over your problems

Ayo? Great vid! Nice tips :)

This was honestly so helpful for someone that the tactic of ‘walk in, mess shit up, leave.’ It doesn’t work well in this type of game.

You can also stun Flux Constructs immediately by pulling their core off with Ultrahand, but it can be difficult since it usually tries to hide its core

9:31 Sidon's ability water bubble works excellent for proccing the Zora weapon buff and is easy to refresh as you stay wet for a decent length after the bubble is used, enough for the sage cooldown to finish at least depending on the environment

For lynels, I simply parry their attacks then shoot them in the head while stunned. Then I go on their back and whack them with my strongest weapon.

2 weeks late comment. LOL. It is about entering bullet time using a shield with a wing. It seems in the last update they made it so you have to press the button for your bow twice for it to work. Before the update I could do it with one press, but now I need to hit it twice.

Didn't know gibdos were weak to elemental damage at first, I was struggling with them so much I just head shot them until they died with regular arrows

10:54 You can also use a rocket shield.

For moldugas, i usually run to them and throw a brightbloom away from me before they get to me. Pretty cheap sqfe way to handle it

Royal gear is very good against lynels

I have to disagree with you about Zora weapons. Chu Chu jelly is very easy to get ahold of and a quick throw of that at your feet to get your zora weapons wet

10:44 Press ZL to target when it bucks u off and press ZR to activate bullet time and shoot it in the back of the head to stun it then mount Rinse Repeat Lynel slayed

I can kill Gleeoks, Lynels, Gloom Hands, Phantom Ganons, and even the Demon King himself. EASILY. You know what I struggle with though? Bokoblins and their dumb fucking wind-up swing. Every single goddamn time. They're SO OPEN and I just think "oh yeah I'll hit him and it'll stun" but no. Nothing stops that swing and I get hit every fucking time

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to shield surf. How do you shield surf?

12:03 to whoever who wonder why the lynel doesn't get stunned, it because the lynel using it's bow, whenever lynel using it's bow they cannot be stunned by headshot, so using muddlebuds is good to avoid this

The thumbnail threw me off for a minute. 😅 "Tips specific for enemies"

for colgera you can just wait above it for it to start shooting its spines (witch are easy to dodge) and then dive through its exposed core. this is easiest with the full glide set

For Moldugas: If you don’t want to use bomb flowers, you can throw any item onto the ground and shoot them with a regular arrow when they are in the air to stun them too.

Apparently you can bullet time jump off of just a steering column. Gonna try it the next Lynel I find. Great tips on basically all the enemies, you covered most of what I usually do in those respective fights. When I’m not going ham on zonai death robot builds 😁 I had never thought to Ascend through Gohma!

As a poor action gamer, I use bow attachments to pause, think what I want to do, then do my best to do it

I have a very good zonai construction against mucktorok. Homing cart as the base, then stabilizer so it keeps upright, onto that a big wheel and at least two hydrants faced against the wheel's spin. Clears the mud basically by itself. Adding construct head equipped with lasers atop the wheel is a nice option too, as it makes the construction basically keep mucktorok busy indefinitely. You'd need to reactivate the device in second phase tho. Then stand back and wait or snipe the everloving electrical shit out of it

mocktorock, i just simply put a water canon in middle of arena, when needed ultra-hand hoosed the stage, follow-up bye keese into arrow and tada, easypeasy bossfight

thx very helpful

Jerudo?

Awesome video!

for queen gibdo, you can 100% destroy the nests without riju, in fact i prefer that fight with riju dismissed and i destroy the nest immediately every time. the nests are only vulnerable to elemental damage on the purple scrotum thing, only once they start spawning gibdo. simply shoot it with 1-3 bomb arrows to take out the nest once it's activated also for the queen gibdo fight, a frost gleeok horn fused to a gerudo spear, it'll one-shot any gibdo, it can reach the flying ones, and it can pierce the queen's armor. also, fun fact: gleeok horns are the botw universe's very first elemental weapon that doesn't have a cooldown! if you put a frost gleeok horn on a claymore and you spin it around, the freezy cloud will never stop. so that's also part of what makes it so good against gibdo, you can just one-shot them with 0 cooldown, it is always "one hit, one kill" i tried with a farosh reaper and an electric gleeok reaper, but neither one was strong enough, for some reason frost does much more damage to gibdo than electric does

Did you have any strategy for fighting ordinary constructs?

I haven't had a 5shot bow But 3shot bow with ruby nearly one shots the hands

I reccomend using gerudo over anything in most situations, use some zora stuff if it’s raining

I'll only use pristine eightfold blades from the depths, they are noticeably better. For Lynels, I got a pristine Royal Guard's Claymore from the depths. Used a rock octorok until I got the damage upgrade stat. Attached a silver lynel saber horn. Hit an enemy with it until it was about to break. And now I use it exclusively on Lynel backs, it absolutely shreds them (and that can't break it). The armored Lynels in the depths are actually easier...because they are automatically staggered when you break their armor, so it's free hits worth more than half of their health at least. Otherwise, I just perfect parry or perfect dodge every move they do. It's rare that a Lynel can actually hit me.

Bomb arrows can destroy spawners in queen gibdo phase 2

another tip on lynels, you can backflip off of a lone standing controller device to get bullet time.

I fought a Lynel with a Zora sword in the wetlands and I got the buff from fighting in the shallow water.

Fuse opel to any weapon, it shoots balls of water. That mud octopus was the easiest thing I ever fought.

9:33 jerudo

Btw, the weather attack buffs are not really similar to attack up. All they do is send out some kind of wave of that element after a combo or charge attack is finished. So it’s useless against enemies/bosses that don’t take elemental damage.
