Update: Just put a new video out on how to repair and upgrade any weapon. This new video will show you how you can make your Lynel-fighting sword deal as much as 194 damage! Find it here: ruclips.net/video/IRvaToCKSBU/видео.html Have a great day everyone, and as always, thanks for watching!
Pro tip (not mine) rock octorocks are extremely helpful as they fully repair and can even give weapons and shields modifiers. I went goblin mode when I herd this.
Now i actually want to let you play on my nintendo switch and do everything for me xD when i was like 10 years old, botw was the best game up to today.. now I have totk since 12th, and I barely get challenges right etc.. I guess it's just too much.. even my friends started Playing a Day later, and they are already ahead of me🥲 I most likely just play it for the view and Fun... but that challenging stuff... idk man.. idk
A big tip to make fighting the lynels easier: If you fuse a wing device to your shield it allows you to shield jump higher, which then in turn allows you to use bullet time with your bow. Makes it much easier to hit the lynel weak spots
The fierce deity sword can be rebought from a Poe statue in the depths near the center of the map. (You can ask the Poe statue at the lookout village for locations on other statues and it should point to the right one.)
@Variks "insect like chattering" Speaking of which, dafuq is with that giant Poe statue in the central mine?! I've looked all over the great plateau and haven't found a single hint of wherever the fuck he's talking about.
@@iso-didact789 There's some breakable rocks you can smash at the bottom the great plateau, where the gate to the area would be if it wasn't flooded. Check around the water near where the Magnesis Shrine was in BOTW (I believe it's in the same spot the entrance to the depths is now). Further reference: The gate to the Great Plateau is directly south of the Gatepost Town Ruins.
i thought of that but it didnt work i tried it with my first lynel but he was too close to me so the eyeballs didnt have enough distance to beam him in the face lol
Fantastic guide! Didn’t find this until I was further in the game but still immensely helped! Having 3 of the 4 sages I can say that they just get in the way except for Tulin who came in clutch and staggered the final Lynel when I was out of Fairies and down to my last heart. I was then able to mount and finish him off.
@@Perpetual-lunacy For sure! I rarely use any other sage but Tulin is out 99% of the time. My only complaint is when I forget to put him away when using octorocks to fix weapons. It sucks every time he one shots them and I have to go find another. Lol
If I recall correctly there's a lightroot within viewing distance from the upper wall of the coliseum that you can activate to not only have a closer warp point but also to light the area up so you don't need to use brightbloom seeds while fighting. After checking my map it's slightly to the southeast of the coliseum, called Mu-ustust lightroot. It's more to the east than to the south, close to the eastern lower shore of the lake the coliseum is in the middle of.
If you guys are having the issue where you aren't getting double damage with the fused item on the royal guard claymore make sure to fuse the item with the claymore before damaging it.
This is false the reason he got 172 is because royal guard claymore property, royal guard weapon will have massive damage increase when the weapon is about to break. My brand new royal guard claymore damage is lesser than biggoron sword, dusk claymore and fierce deity sword.
@@FrignSkooter I think sometimes when you fuse a weapon it repairs it a little bit, making it no longer “badly damaged”. In that case you need to damage it a little more to get it back to badly damaged.
Actually, you can get a replica of almost any unique weapon from the Bargainer statues in the Depths. For example Fierce Deity Sword you can exchange for 160 Poes ;)
I’m glad this is an option now. But I still so wish that weapon durability wasn’t so unforgiving in these games. In botw I kept just hoarding the good weapons.
I just do a reverse fuse. Fuse the deity sword to another sword and make the Octoroxks fix it. But you must fuse the sword to a regular weapon or it won’t work
Literally watched this then did it all within the hour and it's an excellent guide. I especially found the hint to lock onto the Lynels helpful to get more consistent headshots. Thanks bud!
Depending on how froggy you're feeling, you can use the Phantom Ganon set (or radiant set upgraded to level 2 if you're scared) and fuse a Moldoga jaw to your Royal Guard's Claymore. This turns the weapon into a bone weapon for the purpose of scaling. This can be combined with Attack Up (you'll have to eat for it) to edge out Silver Lynel horns as the top damage dealing weapon. I also heard that you can further double the Royal Guard's Claymore damage (regardless fuse, set bonus, etc.) by leaving 1 hit remaining in It's durability. I haven't tried it so I can't confirm that part.
You can also use Rock Octorok's to fully restore item durability and get Wep Modifiers. Do mind that once you give an Octorok an item, its use is done so kill it; or reload save if not happy with the mod prefix; so go around Goron Village and treat those Octoroks with love!
For lynels, it helps to aim for the beard, lower than the eyes. This seems to consistently stagger them. So try aiming lower then you might otherwise try to. It also gets much easier with multi-shot bows.
The final Lynel had me shaking the entire fight. Between it damaging the boulder breaker and tearing through my shields like a hot knife through butter, Im glad I beat that thing and I’m definitely going to fight it again. It was extremely fun and gave me a learning experience on shield parries and headshots

Use the hylian shield, it has insane durability and the highest defense of any shield in the game and even if you break it after the lyonel coliseum the Mrs who sells special clothes in Hateno village sells it for 3000 rupees, not that I have ever needed to buy it again since repairing it with ortorocks is easy and I have only needed to do it 2 times in my whole +200 hours run.
@@carlosdgutierrez6570 I have it now since I was tired of getting my shields absolutely destroyed and I even took it to one of those rock octoroks to get its durability up
Tip: if you can’t hit the Lynel in the face if your life depended on it, fuse a Keese eye to the arrow and try again Just finished the video and man is this a great guide! The instructions were clear and easy to understand and once my family begins a 9 hour car drive I will use this knowledge while playing totk. New subscriber here
If you fuse a Zonai wing to you shield, you get extra height when jumping it shield surf. It lets you activate the bullet time effect with you bow. Makes the headshots much easier.
Also, I believe you can smack the Royal Guard Claymore into the ground *TWO* more times after it gives the message that it's badly damaged. Which will max out it's attack power, making the fights that much quicker. Just... Gotta make sure you don't spam attack too much and break the thing with a jump strike after the forced dismount.
Bro you're a life saver. I've been hunting Lynels for awhile now and only found a few for farming. I never knew there was an entire colosseum of these guys in the depths.
If you use the item duplication glitch there’s no need to farm anything after killing the first one. That being said, using glitches isn’t a particularly “honorable” so if you have an issue with it I get it.
for me the best method to mount Lynels is to parry any attack and then aim a shot in the right side of the lynel face, chin level, you will never waste an arrow. only attacks that you have to late parry are the full spin attack and the big explosion. love the video very informative.
bro, this is literally the best video of seen on ToTK yet. i followed this guide step by step. the only thing i did different was just dodge on every rush attack and mount them. thank you bro i’m feeling OP already!!! great vid. earned a sub. 🎉
I was having trouble getting the fusion part to work. Just had to fuse the material and sword first then damaged it. Thank God for saves. Great video. Can't wait to get through the rest of it.
It’s stupid how well this worked. Once I did all the prep, I managed to slice through those lynels like butter. Thank you so much for the super helpful guide!
This dude is a legend the most in depth guide I’ve seen since totk came out he even put in the video how to get the fierce deity set instead of putting some random link amazing video
For anyone else struggling with the head shots - use the stairs on either side of the entrance to get some height and fly off to get slow motion aiming. Don’t go all the way up the stairs though as the headshot won’t count or the lynel will disappear, just go up like half way
You have a subscriber in me sir. This was a fantastic guide on how to get stronger and no glitch is needed. Very VERY well done. Never finished my file from when I originally purchased the game so I deleted and started all over. Such a fantastic game and experience.
Man I’m well into my game but I just watched this video out of curiousity to see what I could’ve done when I was just starting, and wow man. The way you made this video was perfect; especially for newcomers. You explained and directed everything in a way that someone with almost no knowledge of the game could easily follow and feel confident in themselves while doing so.. Came for the info but stayed for the well thought out and put together video. Great job bro
one of the most straight forward and informative guides I've ever seen. you earned a sub. Below is only for Its Shatter but if you want to read it you can. *edit* I have been farming this for materials and zonite and I just want to thank you. Please, please continue what you doing. You are amazing (I wrote an entire 3.5 paragraphs about why your so good but figured no one would want to read that.)
What was TREMENDOUSLY helpful was autobuilding yourself a Z-shaped wooden platform that you could hook over the railing on the "spectator area" and use it to Ascend to higher ground instantly, and bullet-time those bastards from above. This doesn't trigger the "roar" effect because it doesn't touch the ground (?), and you can put it in place before the fight even begins. This was a game changer. Aside from that, I was having a lot of trouble getting the lynels to go down after a headshot, despite the "ding" sound. So I mostly ended up wearing them down with arrows (but the overpowered sword trick came in handy a few times). Thank you for the guide.
You can also attach monster eyes to your arrows to increase the odds of a headshot. I don’t know if this clashes with the three arrow burst of the lynel bows though, so you may just want this for single shot arrows. Edit: forget monster eyes. Use rockets. They eat away Lynel armor in a few shots, are an instant snipe and they headshot hard.
pro tip, you get kicked off the back of the lynel after a certain amount of hits. If you still have stamina, you can actually just start aiming with your bow to get into bullet time. You will be able to get a few shots in, which is quite a bit of dmg with a savage lynel bow.
Thanks soo much man! this worked and it was sooo easy. I had fused my claymore with a diamond so it didn’t break midway through, and i pretty much 2 phased every one! appreciate it so much!!!
I have to say, good sir, that this is some of the finest TotK content I've found on RUclips. Extensive and thorough, well shot, well edited, and well explained, and smart gameplay and tips all around. Absolutely subbed. Thanks for the guide and I look forward to using the it to get some major upgrades soon. Give Marshmallow some extra head scritches from me :D
Man i never knew that combat technique with thr Lynels and especially the part about no weapon durability loss from the back...that changes everything! I will be running this with the bone weap upgrade version...thank you sir
Nice video, nice guide and nice farewell. Thank you for all that and best lucks to you and Marshmallow (she could definitely beat the Lynels without much effort considering how agile she seems)
If you want to pack a bit more punch, if you destroy your Royal Guard's Claymore it can respawn as a "pristine" version in the depths from the shadow soldiers holding the weapons. There is a whole method of getting the exact pristine version of an item, and pristine versions do more damage and even allows for you to re-roll for special modifiers when first obtaining them.
Tip to make fighting the lynels even easier: In brief.....The stairs, use the starirs. There are a couple of stairs around the coliseum, just lure them close to the stairs and you can use them to avoid taking any damage and also take advantage of the height to enter bullet time and get an easy headshot. Repeat the process with each and every Lynel and you're done. Also have a shield ready because if the Lynel starts using the bow, no headshot is going to save you. I'll upload a clip for even more detail. P.S: Nice tutorial 🙌
If you're far along enough you can use Mineru construct to get air time instead. Using the stairs will trigger Lynels into using their bow and make them impervious to being stunned from a headshot.
I used a Blue Mane Lynel Saber Horn with the damaged Royal Guard's Claymore giving me 130 attack damage, and I took out a White Maned Lynel in the Depths with only 5 mounted attacks. And there are other fuse materials that are even higher than this Saber Horn. Side note, after you attach the fuse material, you have to "redamage" your weapon. For some reason, for me at least, it seems to reset the durability when you attach the fuse material.
Here's a tip no one has said yet: Stick close to the chest in the centre and strafe around it. It acts as a wall and lynels AI gets confused and any charge attacks will stop right at the treasure chest. Also you don't need to do them all in one go. You can kill one and come back later. Also when you kill one the autosave will take you back to the latest one you are fighting when you die. Ultimately learn the different attacks and use the chest to and multi-shot bows the lynels drop to your advantage.
If you fuse a wing shield to your bow, you can access bullet time while jumping with your shield, it can make it waaaay easier to hit the lynel in the face to stagger it
After watching your vid I defeated all 5 of the lynels and got the majoras mask. I didnt use bomb flowers for the last one because I did not bring any with me, and used a hammer I had to destroy his armor instead. This guide was soooo helpful!!!
One of my least favorite aspects of BotW was that Majora's Mask was a DLC freebie you could grab right after the tutorial area. It totally broke the game and replaced the monster masks which you have to travel far and work hard to get. I'm glad it's such an undertaking now.
To the two guys who commented “Just don’t use it”. The whole thing about Majora’s mask being right outside of the starter area is a problem for a lot of people (me included) because anyone who starts playing the game with already buying the dlc, means that they can basically play the rest of the game without fighting anything, and not having the experience of having to work for the monster masks. On the other hand, it has been 6 years since botw released so I’d say it’s fair game by now
Something i did for the Lynel fight is attach a glider to a shield and did shield jumps which now go higher than normal. If timed right, you can do a bullet timed arrow shot which makes aiming for the chin a lot easier.
tip for anyone with bad aim: if you attach a wing device to your shield, and use that shield to Shield-Jump in combat you will gain enough height to enter Bullet-time with you bow. which should give you plenty oppertunity to aim your shots.
Instead of a black bokoblin horn, I would use a Captain III construct horn. They have a fuse attack power of 25, and 2 captain 3s are guaranteed at the ruins at the top of the map with a sky view tower in them.
Heres a tip: Make a critical attack meal. After that, go get your claymore Break that claymore Go find a pristine version in the depths. Go find a molduga. Kill said molduga and fuse the jaw to the pristine royal guards claymore. Bring that down to 1 hp (not just badly damaged, it gets an extra buff on the last hit.) Get either bone prof armor set (skeleton or ganon) Now, when you go to fight the lynel, use your attack up meal with the bone up stuff equipped. And use the sword on its back. This does nearly 2000 damage per swing
It doesn't come close of doing 2,000 damage per hit. It does 918 damage per hit. The math is (49+32)*2*2*1.05*1.8*1.5=918. The 49 for the claymore is from getting a modifier of +10.
Wouldn't a better fuse material be gibdo bones? It's really easy to farm them if you haven't done the gerudo story yet. They have 40 fuse power and if they don't break in one hit then that is twice as good as black monster horns. And its probably easier to get a gerudo claymore that doubles the just the fuse material than having to worry about accidentally smashing your royal guard claymore.
@@taha51617 the gibdo bone will break just not the sword, the gibdo bone is a 1 and done thing so it is more ideal to use them with arrows instead of melee weapons
Thankyou! Use to be a seasonal lynel hunter back in botw and this was hella fun, did it my first try too! Had slight trouble with the armoured one, but that blunt weapon trick came in clutch!
Kinda cheese but you can kite the lynels hard using the chest in the center of the colosseum, (if you didn’t already grab it). No attack he has can go through it. Do be careful with the spear lynel. It has farther range and it can jump over it.
Fierce deity should have been links power up in the storyline! I feel like everyone had their moment, man give him that DBZ power up moment like Ganondorf had in this game
Agreed...the sages all got their power up moments via the secret stones. Link should've achieved a more powerful form via the Deity set like he did in Majora's Mask complete with the beam attacks on every swing. Just makes me mad they didn't make the sword for it a 1h weapon as it was originally whenever he would don the mask.
If you have a lot of healing items it’s not all that crazy, you have a 1shot protection if you have full hearts, so as long as you keep yourself at full health you won’t get oneshotted.
It’s not so bad once you’re used to fighting Lynels since the mechanics were not changed at all from BOTW. Normally would stand with shield up and wait for them to charge you and Parry them then shoot the face and repeat. Once you get used to how they move and where to aim, you’re golden. And just like Rureno just said, as long as your hearts are capped they can’t 1-shot you. *FAIR WARNING THOUGH* if you have Bonus hearts, it does away with the one-shot protection and you will then get 1-shotted if you don’t have a fairy. (I got surprised by that little issue while fighting Moldugas lol)
If you manage to get a head-shot on the Lynel from behind while in midair post backflip, won't that just stun them again to reset the ride so you can get even more free hits with your uber strong weapon? I tend to do the very same thing vs a Frox when they shake me off and bump me up into the air in an attempt to swallow me. I pop my paraglider and either line up another shot on the eye manually in midair via slo-mo, or I attach a Keese eyeball for an easy snipe, stunning him again, thus allowing me to drop back down to attack it some more.
My friend, I absolutely love your channel and your videos. Wonderfully put together, easily followeable, No unnecessary chit-chat and wonderful hints, tips and tricks. Looking forward to more great content. Give a big kiss to marshmallow. I am subscribed. !!!!
I fused the claymore with a diamond first. I used it in battle normally for the first two lynels before letting it become heavily damaged and using the strategy. A tip for hitting headshots with the arrows: drop a spicy pepper on the ground and shoot it with a fire fruit. It will create an updraft you can use to go into bullet time and get easy headshots.
You can also skip all of this and then glue two chests to eachother, the lynels will just scream at it forever and not do anything. It does take a little trouble to get them to start the scream, but once you do you've won the fight.
For what it's worth, you can still get the Fierce Deity set from the Young Link amiibo. I can personally confirm at least the mask is available from the amiibo.
@@shaftinc8739 same thing. Sell the extra for a ton of rupees. I got 2 val Dahl masks, one from amiibo and then from chest. Sold the extra for 600 rupees.
I duplicated an ancient blade (which has 50 fuse power) and got a weapons with 164 damage. I feel like I’m going to SHRED that lynel. Edit: Don’t be like me, it just makes the lynel disappear, without dropping the Loot.
Just an FYI, if you feed a weapon to the rock octorock they will repair it (most weapons at least) and add a random enhancement, saving the need of constantly seperating fusions.
Thank you so much for this!! This was so incredibly helpful. I’m still relatively early on in TOTK and the idea of facing the Lynels again was petrifying. 😂 And I saw another commenter give some very helpful information about ways to get the fierce deity sword back when it breaks by going to one of the Poe statues. All super helpful! Thank you!!

Same, there's so many useful little details that are often left out. I've been missing a lot

Just... Gotta make sure you don't spam attack too much and break the thing with a jump strike after the forced dismount.
Bro you're a life saver. I've been hunting Lynels for awhile now and only found a few for farming. I never knew there was an entire colosseum of these guys in the depths.
If you use the item duplication glitch there’s no need to farm anything after killing the first one. That being said, using glitches isn’t a particularly “honorable” so if you have an issue with it I get it.
@@henryweinschel1357 glitches r cringe
@@henryweinschel1357 imagine not playing for the experience, or to have fun, it's supposed to be hard, so you get some fulfillment out of it.
@@henryweinschel1357 A game is supposed to be fun though
@Samuel Landos I find the glitches fun tho
for me the best method to mount Lynels is to parry any attack and then aim a shot in the right side of the lynel face, chin level, you will never waste an arrow. only attacks that you have to late parry are the full spin attack and the big explosion. love the video very informative.
I find the full spin attack an attack that you can easily Flurry Rush without attacking and then land to easily hit a headshot.
That last part is actually useful. I could save my silver lynel parts before my weapons are destroyed. Thank you man!
bro, this is literally the best video of seen on ToTK yet. i followed this guide step by step. the only thing i did different was just dodge on every rush attack and mount them. thank you bro i’m feeling OP already!!! great vid. earned a sub. 🎉
I was having trouble getting the fusion part to work. Just had to fuse the material and sword first then damaged it. Thank God for saves. Great video. Can't wait to get through the rest of it.
It’s stupid how well this worked. Once I did all the prep, I managed to slice through those lynels like butter.
Thank you so much for the super helpful guide!
Can I have some I ran out and I just made toast
@@Pikpikcarrot Sure I’ve got some extra here u go
This dude is a legend the most in depth guide I’ve seen since totk came out he even put in the video how to get the fierce deity set instead of putting some random link amazing video
For anyone else struggling with the head shots - use the stairs on either side of the entrance to get some height and fly off to get slow motion aiming. Don’t go all the way up the stairs though as the headshot won’t count or the lynel will disappear, just go up like half way
you can attach a wing to your shield which will deliver the same effect but you can enter slow motion aiming anywhere you want
You have a subscriber in me sir. This was a fantastic guide on how to get stronger and no glitch is needed. Very VERY well done. Never finished my file from when I originally purchased the game so I deleted and started all over. Such a fantastic game and experience.
I love exploits in games that aren't gamebreaking, just taking advantage of mechanics in the game. Great video, thank you!
Man I’m well into my game but I just watched this video out of curiousity to see what I could’ve done when I was just starting, and wow man. The way you made this video was perfect; especially for newcomers.
You explained and directed everything in a way that someone with almost no knowledge of the game could easily follow and feel confident in themselves while doing so..
Came for the info but stayed for the well thought out and put together video. Great job bro
one of the most straight forward and informative guides I've ever seen. you earned a sub.
Below is only for Its Shatter but if you want to read it you can.
*edit* I have been farming this for materials and zonite and I just want to thank you. Please, please continue what you doing. You are amazing (I wrote an entire 3.5 paragraphs about why your so good but figured no one would want to read that.)
Ii would read that
i aint reading allat
I would read it
What was TREMENDOUSLY helpful was autobuilding yourself a Z-shaped wooden platform that you could hook over the railing on the "spectator area" and use it to Ascend to higher ground instantly, and bullet-time those bastards from above. This doesn't trigger the "roar" effect because it doesn't touch the ground (?), and you can put it in place before the fight even begins. This was a game changer. Aside from that, I was having a lot of trouble getting the lynels to go down after a headshot, despite the "ding" sound. So I mostly ended up wearing them down with arrows (but the overpowered sword trick came in handy a few times). Thank you for the guide.
If you put a stalnox horn on the royal guards claymore you can get it up to 122
One of the best totk channels right now, im subbing on every one of my alts. Best guide i have seen so far.
If you keep the chest between you and the lynel, it's easier to hit him with the bow. The lynels can't jump over the chest and often get stuck on it.
Thanks to you two weeks into buying tears of the kingdom. I got majora’s mask. Thank you a lot.
You can also attach monster eyes to your arrows to increase the odds of a headshot. I don’t know if this clashes with the three arrow burst of the lynel bows though, so you may just want this for single shot arrows.
Edit: forget monster eyes. Use rockets. They eat away Lynel armor in a few shots, are an instant snipe and they headshot hard.
it doesn't and its a great way for killing gleeok's too as all 3 arrows go for their eyes
What an amazing tutorial and straight to the point video! Thanks. Marshmallow is best, also.
pro tip, you get kicked off the back of the lynel after a certain amount of hits. If you still have stamina, you can actually just start aiming with your bow to get into bullet time. You will be able to get a few shots in, which is quite a bit of dmg with a savage lynel bow.
my bow dies before the lynel dies thou.....
Thanks soo much man! this worked and it was sooo easy. I had fused my claymore with a diamond so it didn’t break midway through, and i pretty much 2 phased every one! appreciate it so much!!!
I have to say, good sir, that this is some of the finest TotK content I've found on RUclips. Extensive and thorough, well shot, well edited, and well explained, and smart gameplay and tips all around. Absolutely subbed. Thanks for the guide and I look forward to using the it to get some major upgrades soon. Give Marshmallow some extra head scritches from me :D
Thanks Brandon! Head scritches inbound for the mallow!
Man i never knew that combat technique with thr Lynels and especially the part about no weapon durability loss from the back...that changes everything! I will be running this with the bone weap upgrade version...thank you sir
Nice video, nice guide and nice farewell. Thank you for all that and best lucks to you and Marshmallow (she could definitely beat the Lynels without much effort considering how agile she seems)
Thanks Jadro!
@@ItsShatter Thanks to you. I wish both you and Marshmallow the best 👌
@@ItsShatter De beeby beeby.😥
omg thank you so much i’ve never beaten any lynels before and i was able to beat them all super easily with your tutorial, thank you
This is really well made, excellent guide man.
If you want to pack a bit more punch, if you destroy your Royal Guard's Claymore it can respawn as a "pristine" version in the depths from the shadow soldiers holding the weapons. There is a whole method of getting the exact pristine version of an item, and pristine versions do more damage and even allows for you to re-roll for special modifiers when first obtaining them.
Tip to make fighting the lynels even easier: In brief.....The stairs, use the starirs.
There are a couple of stairs around the coliseum, just lure them close to the stairs and you can use them to avoid taking any damage and also take advantage of the height to enter bullet time and get an easy headshot. Repeat the process with each and every Lynel and you're done.
Also have a shield ready because if the Lynel starts using the bow, no headshot is going to save you.
I'll upload a clip for even more detail.
P.S: Nice tutorial 🙌
Tysm for this i coulndt land all three headshots but air time makes it a ton easier😊
The real pro tips always in the comments. Thanks, this helped so much!
If you're far along enough you can use Mineru construct to get air time instead. Using the stairs will trigger Lynels into using their bow and make them impervious to being stunned from a headshot.
I listen to your videos a lot while I'm doing other things, and every time I forget about the Marshmallow videos at the end and I love it every time
I'm saying i enjoyed this guide and cannot wait to try it out!
I used a Blue Mane Lynel Saber Horn with the damaged Royal Guard's Claymore giving me 130 attack damage, and I took out a White Maned Lynel in the Depths with only 5 mounted attacks. And there are other fuse materials that are even higher than this Saber Horn. Side note, after you attach the fuse material, you have to "redamage" your weapon. For some reason, for me at least, it seems to reset the durability when you attach the fuse material.
Here's a tip no one has said yet:
Stick close to the chest in the centre and strafe around it. It acts as a wall and lynels AI gets confused and any charge attacks will stop right at the treasure chest.
Also you don't need to do them all in one go. You can kill one and come back later.
Also when you kill one the autosave will take you back to the latest one you are fighting when you die.
Ultimately learn the different attacks and use the chest to and multi-shot bows the lynels drop to your advantage.
You make my favorite guides
Straight to the point
Thanks it saves me alot of time
same dude this guy saves a lot of time hes the best i found😍
If you fuse a wing shield to your bow, you can access bullet time while jumping with your shield, it can make it waaaay easier to hit the lynel in the face to stagger it
After watching your vid I defeated all 5 of the lynels and got the majoras mask. I didnt use bomb flowers for the last one because I did not bring any with me, and used a hammer I had to destroy his armor instead. This guide was soooo helpful!!!
One of my least favorite aspects of BotW was that Majora's Mask was a DLC freebie you could grab right after the tutorial area. It totally broke the game and replaced the monster masks which you have to travel far and work hard to get. I'm glad it's such an undertaking now.
Yeah but its an option just like picking a hard mode vs an easy mode to a game...
you can just not use it... it's that simple
I agree I really feel like I've earned it now
To the two guys who commented “Just don’t use it”. The whole thing about Majora’s mask being right outside of the starter area is a problem for a lot of people (me included) because anyone who starts playing the game with already buying the dlc, means that they can basically play the rest of the game without fighting anything, and not having the experience of having to work for the monster masks.
On the other hand, it has been 6 years since botw released so I’d say it’s fair game by now
@@Duffyboicool story bro
Just don't use it
Not that hard
yooo
I recognized the voice!
I still recall your helpful Elden Ring content
glad to see you're still kickin'
when you jump off the lynrl you should go into bullet time for that extra chip of damage
That is an option, I just like to conserve bow durability since the majority of damage is dealt with the sword without having to damage anything.
@@ItsShatter tru
Something i did for the Lynel fight is attach a glider to a shield and did shield jumps which now go higher than normal. If timed right, you can do a bullet timed arrow shot which makes aiming for the chin a lot easier.
tip for anyone with bad aim:
if you attach a wing device to your shield, and use that shield to Shield-Jump in combat you will gain enough height to enter Bullet-time with you bow. which should give you plenty oppertunity to aim your shots.
That is such a fire tip thanks bro
What is this shield jump y'all talking about? Just regular ass jumping while holding shield up? Or something else ?
@@thuglifetillidieyeet if you hold zl and jump and press x you shield surf
The background music and voice work got you a new sub. Good content.
Instead of a black bokoblin horn, I would use a Captain III construct horn. They have a fuse attack power of 25, and 2 captain 3s are guaranteed at the ruins at the top of the map with a sky view tower in them.
that's what I did as well worked great
I used a silver horriblin or whatever it had like a 32 and gave me 128 damage
Tip: You can also focus mainly on getting hearts and also upgrading the fierce deity armor to get more op.
Heres a tip:
Make a critical attack meal.
After that, go get your claymore
Break that claymore
Go find a pristine version in the depths.
Go find a molduga.
Kill said molduga and fuse the jaw to the pristine royal guards claymore.
Bring that down to 1 hp (not just badly damaged, it gets an extra buff on the last hit.)
Get either bone prof armor set (skeleton or ganon)
Now, when you go to fight the lynel, use your attack up meal with the bone up stuff equipped. And use the sword on its back. This does nearly 2000 damage per swing
It doesn't come close of doing 2,000 damage per hit. It does 918 damage per hit. The math is (49+32)*2*2*1.05*1.8*1.5=918. The 49 for the claymore is from getting a modifier of +10.
Great video. Note you can skip the whole quest and go directly to the Fierce armor locations. You don't need the quest at all.
Wouldn't a better fuse material be gibdo bones? It's really easy to farm them if you haven't done the gerudo story yet. They have 40 fuse power and if they don't break in one hit then that is twice as good as black monster horns. And its probably easier to get a gerudo claymore that doubles the just the fuse material than having to worry about accidentally smashing your royal guard claymore.
they do break in 1 hit, and if you have a nearly broken royal claymore it does not add to the double damage.
@@ilovebugs1027do they break in 1 hit on the lynels back still or no
@@taha51617 the gibdo bone will break just not the sword, the gibdo bone is a 1 and done thing so it is more ideal to use them with arrows instead of melee weapons
@@taha51617 yes
this is one of the best guide videos I have ever seen. Thank you and I hope you and Marshmallow have a good day
Thank you for the great guide.
Getting the a switch and this game tmw, I will be using your guides from the start!! Subbed!!
3:40 the barbarian armor also can give max attack buffs but is found in a few caves
Thankyou! Use to be a seasonal lynel hunter back in botw and this was hella fun, did it my first try too! Had slight trouble with the armoured one, but that blunt weapon trick came in clutch!
Kinda cheese but you can kite the lynels hard using the chest in the center of the colosseum, (if you didn’t already grab it). No attack he has can go through it. Do be careful with the spear lynel. It has farther range and it can jump over it.
i beat it 1 hp pure skillz whatever the cheese xD
What do you do with the chest?
The fact that you can save between them is really nice, I thought you couldn't do it. Now I can finally get the mask
Fierce deity should have been links power up in the storyline! I feel like everyone had their moment, man give him that DBZ power up moment like Ganondorf had in this game
Agreed...the sages all got their power up moments via the secret stones. Link should've achieved a more powerful form via the Deity set like he did in Majora's Mask complete with the beam attacks on every swing. Just makes me mad they didn't make the sword for it a 1h weapon as it was originally whenever he would don the mask.
Dude, you’re insane. Thank you so much. I would’ve never done that on my own. You just earned yourself a subscriber and I’m overpowered as Frick.😊
Fighting a lionel with 4 hearts. Thats crazy even with all equipment
If you have a lot of healing items it’s not all that crazy, you have a 1shot protection if you have full hearts, so as long as you keep yourself at full health you won’t get oneshotted.
It’s not so bad once you’re used to fighting Lynels since the mechanics were not changed at all from BOTW. Normally would stand with shield up and wait for them to charge you and Parry them then shoot the face and repeat.
Once you get used to how they move and where to aim, you’re golden. And just like Rureno just said, as long as your hearts are capped they can’t 1-shot you. *FAIR WARNING THOUGH* if you have Bonus hearts, it does away with the one-shot protection and you will then get 1-shotted if you don’t have a fairy.
(I got surprised by that little issue while fighting Moldugas lol)
It’s easy if you have good weapons and an attack buff active
I always fight lynels with 3 hearts
This video was well put together .. enjoyed the music in the background.. Good job man 👍👍
Alternative title: How to become the Doom Slayer in Tears of the Kingdom
Thank you for being so straightforward and no-nonsense about the whole process 👍
After mounting the lynel and getting your hits, when you backflip off, go into bullet-time (slow-mo) and get some arrow hits in as your combo ender 👍
cant pull the bow out while doing that
@@MichMasteR you can at the end when you get hit off while in bullet time
If you manage to get a head-shot on the Lynel from behind while in midair post backflip, won't that just stun them again to reset the ride so you can get even more free hits with your uber strong weapon? I tend to do the very same thing vs a Frox when they shake me off and bump me up into the air in an attempt to swallow me. I pop my paraglider and either line up another shot on the eye manually in midair via slo-mo, or I attach a Keese eyeball for an easy snipe, stunning him again, thus allowing me to drop back down to attack it some more.
My friend, I absolutely love your channel and your videos.

I really bad at aiming,so i always use keese eyeball...
Followed this guide. Can run through 5 lynels flawlessly. Needless to say, im OP now. Thanks!
Lovely to hear, now try Malenia with max 15 vigor solo.
Bro wrong game
I fused the claymore with a diamond first. I used it in battle normally for the first two lynels before letting it become heavily damaged and using the strategy. A tip for hitting headshots with the arrows: drop a spicy pepper on the ground and shoot it with a fire fruit. It will create an updraft you can use to go into bullet time and get easy headshots.
Easier, fuse Wing with the Shield and JumpSurf the Shield, while in the air shoot an arrow and you will be in Bullet time
Thank you! Love your vids. Informative and very well done.
😊
You can also skip all of this and then glue two chests to eachother, the lynels will just scream at it forever and not do anything.
It does take a little trouble to get them to start the scream, but once you do you've won the fight.
Your bow aim is godly. It took me many attempts to do the silver lynel
For what it's worth, you can still get the Fierce Deity set from the Young Link amiibo. I can personally confirm at least the mask is available from the amiibo.
If you get the mask from the amiibo then what is in the chest i wonder
@@shaftinc8739 same thing. Sell the extra for a ton of rupees. I got 2 val Dahl masks, one from amiibo and then from chest. Sold the extra for 600 rupees.
This man deserves more subs, consistently gets millions of views on great guides
I duplicated an ancient blade (which has 50 fuse power) and got a weapons with 164 damage. I feel like I’m going to SHRED that lynel.
Edit: Don’t be like me, it just makes the lynel disappear, without dropping the Loot.
Ya know, having that kind of power might be more useful than having something with only 10 more power lol. XD
Just an FYI, if you feed a weapon to the rock octorock they will repair it (most weapons at least) and add a random enhancement, saving the need of constantly seperating fusions.
That claymore has some Serpent Hunter great spear from Elden Ring vibes.
Really good guide, you explain really well, you deserve more followers

Great video! Not subscribing for it, but that last "Marshmallow" video... damn you got me there!
Thank you so much for this!! This was so incredibly helpful. I’m still relatively early on in TOTK and the idea of facing the Lynels again was petrifying. 😂 And I saw another commenter give some very helpful information about ways to get the fierce deity sword back when it breaks by going to one of the Poe statues. All super helpful! Thank you!!
You can also repair the fierce deity sword by fusing it to a regular/common weapon and having a Rock Octorok swallow/repair it.
