Lynel Fight [edit]

Strategy 1 [edit]

i. Jog in from afar (this surface area was as well open with no coverage for stealthing easily). When he notices your presence with a white "?" over his head, start sprinting in, because you want to be close enough so he takes out his melee weapon, non his bow. I plant his shock arrows to be much too much to deal with so I avoided that all together. If he draws his melee weapon, that'south your cue for step two.

2. Get your stasis+ rune out and utilize it on him before he charges (or finishes charging) you with his beginning set on.

3.Swap to your bow and hit him twice in his face while moving forward and so you are close to his torso by the time stasis breaks. I was using a soldier'southward bow and could not get more than two shots in before stasis broke.

4. While he is briefly downed from the arrows to the face, run behind him (hopefully you're already pretty close to him at this bespeak) and arrive a few whacks on his barrel or side. At this indicate, a lot of guides recommend mounting him and hitting him from upon his dorsum, so you can try that if y'all get the "mount" prompt. I, all the same, could not consistently hit him with arrows and then he was low enough to the footing to go the mount prompt, and so I simply hit him normally.

5. Don't get greedy on hits while he's stunned. Become in 3-five quick hits with a one-hander when he'southward down. The fight volition exist longer merely you're less likely to take damage if you retreat earlier than you lot Recollect he'll exist able to get upwardly. Another thing that helped me was not keeping him constantly targeted. Running/sprinting freely, rather than trying to target and side-step/dodge was easier for me personally, to remain mobile. Later on stasis breaks he uses a whirling attack so make sure you retreat earlier he does this as it will knock you far back and damage you lot a lot. The length of his weapon is longer than yous think, so give yourself some time to get infinite between yous and him.

6.Run around him clockwise or counterclockwise until your stasis is recharged (like I said higher up, I found it easier to run around him than targeting and side stepping to contrivance). The all-time time I plant to hitting him with stasis+ again was when he would run away/leap back to practise another forrard charge at me. Other weapon swings were easier to contrivance just the accuse was annoying so disrupting it with stasis, specially mid-charge, helped a lot.

7.Repeat steps two-vi.

eight. Once he gets to a certain health %, I think nearly 30%, he will do virtually 3 fireball flamey breaths. Like shooting fish in a barrel to contrivance if you are at a good distance and merely run every bit in stride six.

nine. Continue to repeat steps 2-half-dozen until expressionless.

Strategy two [edit]

Strategy: Hold out your shield and look for them to make the first motion, and Do NOT attempt and fight them from range. Their bows deal huge amounts of damage and they are deadly accurate. Get in shut plenty so when they attack that yous can fourth dimension a backflip, and if you time information technology correct, you lot do flurry rush. subsequently you lot've flurry rushed, have out your bow and quickly and immediately shoot them straight in the face. The face, non the mane - their headshot hitbox is quite small-scale. if yous headshot them, they'll kneel down for a few seconds on the ground. If you have a really adept bow, go along firing, but earlier they get upwards only run upwards behind them and printing a to mount. Then mash y to deal every bit much harm every bit possible. Rinse and repeat.

Tips:

If you're on a horse or have high enough ground, you tin practise the slow-movement pointer thing to deal tons of impairment.
To dodge the fireballs, just move sideways. Yous don't even have to sprint. After the fireballs you get a perfect chance to shoot them in the face up for a mount.
When they get downwardly on all fours (sixes?) and run straight at you, side-hop instead of backflipping to activate flurry rush. Same goes for overhead strikes.

Strategy 3 [edit]

even if you get good at dodging, and doing flurry strikes, etc, lynels still take a long time to kill and consume upward tons of your weapons.

However if you completed the Gerudo Divine Beast, you get a power to unleash a lightning tempest. This lightning tempest when activated will actually cause the lynels to stop for a moment to catch their breath. It doesn't hurt them also much, however what makes it useful is information technology requires no timing!

They can exist in the center of about anything, getting fix to assault, attacking you, etc., and it will crusade them to finish.

Immediately afterwards y'all have them incapacitated, use a powerful 2 handed weapon and then just hold the assault spin push button, and move around them constantly spinning and hitting them, until you lot automatically unleash the final power move.

By the time you end, the lynel is probably already up again about to attack. But yous should withal have plenty time to unleash another lightning strike, incapacitating them again. Rinse and repeat!

Strategy 4 [edit]

Want to relieve your hard earned Crushers, Claymores, Broadswords, Spears, and more? Consider the following tips and strategy to learn how to beat Lynels while only consuming Bows and arrows!

Early on in the game Lynels are formidable foes, and fifty-fifty the bravest warriors can be cutting downwards in seconds flat. Take the tips and strategies mentioned already, and start to stockpile Lynel weapons. Somewhen, what you'll want to have on hand is Savage Lynel Bows, Savage Lynel Crushers, and Daze Arrows, all of which tin can be obtained for free by defeating high level (White Maned, Silvery, or Gold) Lynels. You can make do with regular Lynel weapons, or the Mighty variants as y'all progress through the game. If y'all're running low on Shock Arrows, the route to Zora's Domain is an excellent place to get them. Simply fight your way through all of the Lizalfos and y'all'll walk away with enough for Bow and Shock Arrows. Rush the Lynel and get as close as you comfortably can. Alternatively you can utilize high ground or Revali's Gale to drop downwardly from above, and apply dull-mo to line up a shot to the left side of the beasts face. Why the left side? The game seems to favor it for stunning Lynels. Why Lynel Bows? They're the about powerful multi-shot bows available, and the multiple arrows (upwards to x5!!!) make it manner easier to apply this strategy.

2. Have a shot. Yous'll want to keep trying until you go a brilliant flash indicating you've stunned the baddie. As presently as you run into that, safely drop to the ground past exiting slow-mo and unfurling your glider right earlier you hit the basis. You will quickly learn what heights require the glider buffer and which don't.

3. Equip a Savage Lynel Crusher (or your highest damage weapon), and mount the Lynel. From hither all you take to do is keep striking it until it shakes you off (remember that when you mount a Lynel, every hit is considered "costless" and weapon durability is unaffected). Now the real fun begins.

iv. Go along shooting the baddie in the face to stun it, then mount it, and striking it, rinse and repeat. In between mounts and hits, you will accept to dodge its attacks and refrain from using those Flurry Rushes equally these consume weapon durability points.

5. Practise and refine these techniques to fit your own play style. Feel free to use other Divine Beast Powers, Runes, or weapons other than what I've mentioned, but most importantly have fun! Lynels are mean, just they're a blast to fight.

I hope this strategy helps you conquer your apprehension of Lynels as it did for me, now get out there and go to huntin', Its Lynel flavor!
