GameOver Jesse the charge can be sidedodged very easily. side dodge early to land when he's next to you. when he spits fire, fire an arrow in his face to stun him. run up and you can mount him for some heavy damage. use the updrafts from fires he starts, to get some air and fire some arrows in his face to stun him again.
I once beat a golden lynel and then the blood moon rose but I came prepared with a whole page of meals that gave me a full recovery. Along with the fully upgraded hylian tunic, ancient pants and rovios rabbit hood. A savage lynel bow that shoots 42x5 dmg and the master sword. And the master Sword ran out of energy so I used a savage lynel club that does 107 dmg. Made short work of the second one
@@theoriginallinko Does we have ancient arrows in Master Sword Trial? I dont use it in normal game because ancient arrows vanishes the dropped items :)
@@OeStEvAoRaPhAeL you can get some of them on the final trials... I used them on the Lynels... I lost the equipment tho but it was way easier... I recommend using them... Oh also Austin John plays made a guide 3 years ago but it helped me a lot...
Btw I killed it. It's easy to shoot in the face and mount it, and it doesn't waste weapon durability while mounted so you can use your best weapon and do a lot of damage easily If using your shield, use it's easy attack pattern to parry, stunning it, then shoot it in the face and mount Or if you aren't worried about weapons, repeated flurry rushes are also very easy. I figured all this out a few minutes ago after a long time messing about with it... And dying a lot
I remember the first time i saw a lynel I was at the lanayru east gate and i saw it and i was like “hey is that ganondorf” then i got close and it instantly attacked me
I saw my first in Faron, at night, in a lightning storm. I started running away and it came after me. I got killed immediately. now I just use ancient arrows.
I'm new to the game and this literally happened to me last night after watching the memory before the gate. I got absolutely destroyed and all my weapons broke lol
Heynicetie tbf you only need 13 hearts to pull out the master sword and it's not even the strongest weapon in the game when you use it against normal enemies. the great frostblade is way better for killing lynels imho. the shield you can grab from hyrule castle pretty easily, I got mine at like 4 hearts
The master sword actually isn't that strong?? Usually it's at 30 attack, and in situations like the castle or a boss fight, it's at 60, and there are way better weapons.
Lol you don’t need end game gear/equipment to defeat a lynel. Just a bunch of practice dodging and stasis rune to freeze them, then shoot them in the face. 😏👍 I know I’m two years behind this comment, but this is just for other people who are just now playing this game who will read this comment.
This is a much slower but relatively safer method to kill this specific Lynel: Hide behind one of the large rocks and lure the Lynel with bombs or by whistling, the Lynel will circle around the rock to find you. Make sure there's a "?" above it at all times. Use the stasis rune to freeze the Lynel from behind (you first need to upgrade the rune at the Hateno Tech Lab using Guardian parts). Hit the Lynel as much as you can and run behind the rock as soon as the stasis wears off. Repeat this cycle until the Lynel is dead.
@@lucky_lulu317 You'll get better at it, and the champion abilities help a lot as well. I got better and now, I like to eat mighty food and wear the barbarian armor while fighting Lynels, mostly relying on flurry rushes and champion abilities to do the damage.
@@stupendously_silly Damn, wish I knew that before wasting time gathering mighty ingredients and cooking them into mighty food when I have Barbarian Armor set that's been upgraded to 2 stars.
I love this game I just can't stand the constant breaking of weapons though that what kills it for me . They should have just made it where they get dull and just need sharpening.
They definitely could have added variations on degradation. Wood > chip > break, Metal > dull > chip/rust > break, Elementals or Ancient > weaken > power down > break. Then some different ways to repair.
it keeps you grinding for more weapons though if i had the same op weapon all game it would get boring but you have to work for them and they don’t last forever
I think the best way would be arrows and go around a rock shooting him in the face. He will occasionally fall down and you could hit him a lot with your strongest weapon. He probably won’t use electric arrows(he didn’t for me) I did that for my first time cuz I was better with arrows. But if you upgraded your stasis rube and was a dumbass like me and didn’t realize you could freeze enemies then just do that lol. At this point you’ve probably killed him lol
that;s kinda funny because a lot of people commented saying it helped a lot and he even says this is how you do it without using special runes or abilities. He only uses basic weapons. AND he has a video where he beats a silver lynel with only 3 hearts, no shield, no armor, no runes, no abilities and takes no damage. I think you're just jealous. lmao bro
No, I'm just saying this wasn't a tips and tricks video at all, this was just gameplay of him fighting a Lynel. And even then, his "strategy" could have been a whole lot better.
Ashley King stop going around to criticism comments and going like “you’re just jealous” and then an obviously passive aggressive triggered “lol” or “lmao”. Stop bringing up the same arguments in these criticism comments and stop trying to defend your add loving freak of a channel.
To be fair, not only is it one of the easiest ways to deal with a Lynel, it's also one of the easiest attacks to get a flurry rush on. You have a pretty big window
Tips and tricks? Let's go over them. - "We're going to try to sneak up on him..." You weren't crouching, and you didn't have any stealth boosts active (via food/elixir or sneaking armor set). It's next to impossible to sneak up on them without any sort of stealth boost. - "He's going to shoot at us..." Because you were too far away from him. That's the first rule of fighting Lynels: close the gap quickly to prevent them from using their bows. They are deadly accurate, and almost always shoot shock arrows, so they'll make you drop your metal weapons. - "You can just keep guarding when he rushes at you like that..." Unless you have a Hylian Shield, no, you can't. Your shield will break on the second hit if not the first. You need to perfect parry. And for that, you need to learn the timing of their attacks. - "My sword broke, so we need something else..." Obviously. Using the Master Sword against a Lynel is not a great plan. - "If you get lucky, you can parry..." If your tips are based on luck, it's not much of a tip, is it? Again, you need to learn the timing. - "He only hit us one time..." Which could have been completely avoided. Also, when fighting Lynels, unless you have high armor rating and plenty of hearts, you will die in a single hit. You were ill-prepared (you got there with less than half your hearts and no active damage boost), you had no strategy going in (or didn't know how to implement it), and you had little to no understanding of the enemy's combat mechanics. Overall, a very sloppy kill. It doesn't take 5 minutes to kill a red-maned Lynel (2000 HP). I kill silver ones (5000 HP) in 30-45 seconds. I do not recommend these "tips and tricks" to anyone.
Savage Lynel Bow with Five-Shot Burst + LVL 3 Attack Power Boost + headshot = 480 total damage, potentially. It's always less because not all headshots are equal with multi-shot bows, but it's still a decent chunk of damage with every shot you take. And then, a Savage Lynel Crusher with 100+ damage in conjunction with a LVL 3 Attack Boost = 150 damage with every hit. If you mount the Lynel, the weapon does not degrade, and you're guaranteed 5 hits with every mount. That's 750 damage every time. My general strategy is to headshot the Lynel, then, once it's down, shoot it two more times in the face. After that, mount it. By the time I'm thrown off, I'll have dealt ~1200 damage. Rinse and repeat. A Red Lynel would take no less than 10-15 seconds to kill.
Just started the game. Dodging his attacks really makes the fight easier. And for extra protection I made a dish that increased my defense so each of his melee attacks did less a heart of damage.
I saw this in my reccamended, im not gonna watch it but here is a much easier way: Use stasis+ Shoot an arrow at his face *(after shooting at his face he will be stunned even after the stasis ran out)* mount him hit him while ur mounted till he kicks you off *repeat*
@@blackboi0739 really? Cause I tried to mount him but I just can't find the right time. I kept on doing flurry rush till I ran out of foods to replenish my hearts. Also all of my shields broke till I'm left with a pot lid as a shield. Wth. But I managed to kill him eventually. Took me forever though.
For anyone who's new to botw, you can find white/savage lynels, which are harder to beat then ganon. Mainly because ganon is pretty easy. There's one in the Coliseum, and another in hyrule castle
@@Rich7714 I wouldn't consider Lynels bosses per se. They're enemies, good for strategy practice, and drop useful items. They're everywhere, too, you'll likely encounter a Lynel within the first few hours of gameplay, so finding one is 100% not special. Coming from a long time player.
ACTUAL TIP: Before Fighting, cook five Hearty Durians together in a pot. This will give you a dish that will fully recover you AND give you extra hearts. When you’re at a low health, eat it and you’ll have at LEAST 23 hearts. It’s the only way I beat him with 6 hearts.
Cept you can't find a Cuccoo anywhere near Zora Village and even if you did, at some point monsters will knock it out of your hand or obstacles block you off.
Oh yeah, this is a very good early-game tutorial. Step one: get the master sword and the hylian shield, both of which are mid-end game items, upgrade all your gear all the way, then it's no problem at all! How helpful for new players who are still just barely off the great plateau!
I disagree with this method of killing a lynel. First you sneak up on him and mount him. Second is shoot him in the face to stun him (to mount him again). Then you just repeat that process while dodging and flurry rushing.
Because sneaking up on one is sooo easy lol.... I tried flying over one to land on him and was able to mount from there. Perhaps you can upload a video of how you sneak up on them?
@@WoWGirl6 dont mount it immediately. If you're approaching from higher up you should aim for its face with an arrow so you can stun it (even easier since you'll activate bullet time in the air). Then after you mount it and hit it 5 start shooting arrows at its head again immediately.
@@WoWGirl6 when he shoots his fire at you, after the 3rd shot, run into the updraft and jump up and use your glide to lift high into the air and then you can make an easy arrow shot to the head to stun him and then mount
You cant parry anything in botw. If your gonna use technical terms from sword fighting you should probably understand what they are. which is asinine and makes you sound ignorant.
i do becasue i don't even want their rubbish gear - i mean 24 damamge for the 1st sword???! such a crap reward - the hinoxes come with the royal 36 damage boradswords and you can SNATCH them off one for free!!
i expect that 1st Lynel swords to at least have 40 damage and 6 times the durability of normal weapons for the effort - the fight is amazing no doubt but i just fell the reward is too little,, 24 damage is piffle. Let's not forget the main flaw in all of this: all your loot breaks! What's the point anyway?? As I said; just nab loot off one of the spawning Hinoxes!
I just played this part for the first time last night. I broke 4 weapons and two shields, used countless potions to keep refilling my hearts (I only have 5), and a couple elixirs and I was so proud of myself for beating him. I just need to get better at dodging and parrying. I went back to that shrine that has the really easy guardian that teaches you the moves but you can't play it again. I wish there was a place to practice where you won't die. But I guess that's what all the monsters are for.
I've fought the Zora's Domain Lynel twice now and won without taking damage, I lucked out. Was pretty lucky that the two times I actually fought him he strangely never used the Thunder/Lightning arrows. Granted I fought this Lynel pretty late into the game after clearing all four divine beast. Btw, am I the only one who kept forgetting that I have Urbosa's Fury?
At my first time playing the game, I went to gather the shock arrows and I didn’t know how strong he was. I died 2 times than defeated it. It wasn’t so hard after all. My strategy was all about dodging. I got flury rush nearly all the times, so I was kinda lucky as well, but I managed to defeat it with 5 hearts and an extra stamina upgrade.
If u don't try to kill it, u will never know how to kill it, but if u try and learn what its moves r, then it will be easy to kill... Well that's what I did anyway
If you save the shock arrows you pick up on the way to Zora's Domain, you can also pick up more shock arrows on the trees around the Lynel's hunting area. The tree on the (nearby) peak of that mountain has 5 alone!
I literally snuck around the big rocks and got arrows when he wasn't near me. When I hit 20 I BOLTED out of there snagged two more on my way. I wasn't trying to defeat him again. Maybe next one 😩🥴
I like your strategy for fighting these guys. Lynels can be pretty nasty if you try to fight them head on. Other than the one in this video, I usually tend to find Lynels accidentally, and at the worst possible times. :D An easy way to damage them is to stun them using Urbosa’s Fury. It will only stun them for a few seconds, but depending on what kind of weapons you bring with you, you can do some serious damage in those short seconds. If you use an Ancient Arrow, you can kill a Lynel in one shot, but this method comes at the price of whatever that Lynel might have dropped. 9 times out of 10, non-Guardian monsters won’t drop any weapons or items if you kill them with an Ancient Arrow, so I only recommend using Ancient Arrows if you don’t mind not getting any weapons or materials from the monsters in question.
Brute forcing through the fight with gear and very little overall strategy really doesn't make for very good tips and tricks, there are several things you could actually have suggested or demonstrated that would help _anyone_ with _any_ gear be more successful, this is just filler video.
I show you can beat it without using runes. A lot of people say to shoot it with arrows or use stasis. I show you can beat it with the easiest strategy and that is simply countering all of its attacks. If I wanted to do it quicker, I could just "cheat" and use an ancient arrow.
I guess, just in the end it doesn't give people much. Yes, with some gear you can ride it out, but it is hardly a plan. More effective to work an ambush and when he does his fireball attack in particular it is usually easy to shoot him in the face to stun him for easy hits. Your method assumes the person is geared to the point where they can afford to stand there and risk being hit. Just very little strategy when there's plenty of room for them.
I don't think the gear was a huge factor in this. He was only hit once or twice at the very beginning of the video and his strategy worked with him beating the lynel with less than one heart by dodging. Great video Jesse!
Oh, and a note having just knocked out a zebra-striped Lynel, they're a significant step up in difficulty. With proper gear I hardly took any damage from the previous one I killed, this one stepped up the damage game significantly and added an additional fire area damage attack
It's not the easiest way though. Fire arrows on the grass, jump in the air and using arrows in the head in slow motion is the fastest way without using runes. Or using a ridiculously strong (70 damage+) two handed weapon while doing a spin attack :P
if you don't want to take constant sheild damage, most of his attacks, with the exception of the one where he puts away his weapons and charged can be dodged with a backstep
This video was to show how to kill lynels for people who will be coming across him early in the game. Not everyone is going to be good at dodging or countering their attacks when they first come across them or have stasis upgraded or anything else. So he made a video to show how to kill one by not using runes, special abilities or anything else. If you want an better way to kill one. He has a video where he kills a silver lynel with no armor, shield, special abilities, runes, or anything else. He is naked and only has a sword equipped. He kills it without taking any damage. I think you commented just because you were jealous. lmao.
The hylian shield is a life saver. Just keep it held up and from my experience he can't really hit you with melee attacks as long as it's held up. And tbh it's not that hard to get the hylian shield
Me at the start of BotW: Oh cool, is that new monster? , I'll go fight it *2 minutes later* Nope,nope,nope!!! Me now after getting better at combat and getting stronger gear: Come here, fluffy!!!
My first run, I didn't even fight the Lynel for the arrows. Before I found Zora's Domain, I found Lurelin Village. I got the arrows there and didn't fight the Lynel until I was super strong, with more than enough hearts to crush it and some great weapons to hurt. Getting to Lurelin was easy, I just ran from everything I saw, and saved everywhere.
Haha I didn't even think fighting it was the thing you were supposed to do. When I heard there were arrows on the trees I instantly thought, "Oh, stealth mission!" So I snuck around and got them.
If you wanted it to be quickest you would have used the barbarian armor and an attack potion. Also using a shield makes no sense when you can perfect dodge (it's not called parry) almost every attack. This wasn't a good play through at all.
No, you don't understand. He was purposefully blocking a lot of attacks instead of doing a perfect dodge which is quicker and gets more hits in. It is called how to "quickly" kill a Lynel.
Parry and perfect dodge arent even the same thing. god it urked me every time he said parry... to me if your gonna try and use technical terms for sword fighting you better know what they mean or youll sound ignorant as all hell.
He didnt really give much explanation about how to kill the lynel, it's not a guide, it's basically just a video of a guy kicking a lynels arse. Not literally.
WhimsicalWhimsicott weeeeeell tecnacly speaking that means you must have gotten hit alot, true players dont need to heal for a lynel battle so kinda did have a little trouble
jolly memeatoadz Its just. The fact that when you use a bow on him, u can't make a backflip. And he attacks u directly and you don't have a Chance to avoid it. Its no Problem for me cuz im a good head aimer but for others it is. I wouldnt recommend using a bow between the fights... Just if hes throwing Fireballs at you
HeroOfTime 16 Except that the only reason he didn't take shield damage was because he was using the Hylian Shield (the best in the game) and fighting the easiest lynel variation.
for the shock arrow quest i would not fight it I just snuck around and painstakingly took each arrow when the lynel was on the opposite side of the area
Tip: If you are wearing champion's tunic and kill an enemy in a flurry rush but the flurry rush is not over, just simply don't attack (Try pressing B if the animation continues, don't remember). Then you won't have to waste durability on an already dead enemy. Of course, this doesn't matter if you are late game and basically have more weapons than you could ever need (or if you have majora's mask and can just go into for example hyrule castle and pick whatever weapons you find laying without a worry in the world, just sprint when guardians outside shoot).
So many missed opportunities for perfect dodge. Try constantly blocking his attacks with something like a soldier's shield, see how that works out for you. Also, if your stamina is high enough you can run towards the Lynel in a spiral whenever he starts spewing fire blasts at you. By the time he gets his third fire blast out I'm already right next to him ready to give him the work. You might try crouching next time you want to sneak up on him. You should have more mid to high attack quick weapons if you're planning to take down a Lynel, especially the silver mane Lynels. This battle dragged on too long. Didn't watch the whole video but I don't even think you mentioned shooting him in the face with an arrow to stun him, you can then mount him and get several hits in until he bucks you off.
Not really. I've defeated him with 15 defence, perfect dodging all his attacks and healing his attacks and shooting arrows as much as possible. He definitely missed out on all those good tips which helped me win
Adelio Lopez best tip for early game is cook & eat 5xbananas/razor crab or that thistle plant & max out your attack for 4.10min then fuck that lynel up.
I remember my first and second lynel, the first was that lynel there and the second was a silver lynel (which i thought was white at the time) in the coliseum. I'd recommed using stasis plus, a triple shot bow and firing into his face so he's mountable. I'd also recommend getting close, as the arrows are deadly even for the most proficient player, whereas the sword attacks are laughable if you're decent. Dont bother blocking the charge attacks, the sword swipe you can flurry rush and the weaponless charge you can completely avoid with a sidestep. If you have access go revali's gale, use the updraft for air bow time but make sure not to go too high up or he'll shoot you out of the air. If you dont, the fireball's updraft from burning grass should work too, allowing you to pump damage into its face quickly and easily. Also, lynels are easier than they're cracked up to be if you're prepared. Dont panic, focus your attacks and stay on the defensive for an easy win.
You can dodge to right or left if the lynel is rushing at you on 4 legs. Also you can parry fireballs. And if he attacks you with a sword while running, you can dodge it too instead of blocking.
at around 4:00 he says that you should just switch out from a two handed weapon to the shield but to a beginner that can be confusing if they don't know how to switch out because that was a problem with me so what I do with lynels and even what I did with the blights is to equip a one handed weapon and as soon as the flurry rush prompt appears I quick swapped my weapon to a two handed one which left no room to be hit without a shield.
For some reason, everyone clicks on this video and watches it. I have a better updated video that is 100 times more professional and straight forward. No one clicks on it though... o.0
"How to 'easily' kill a Lynel"? More like "How to brute forced yourself to the end of a Lynel fight" or "Fighting a Lynel with no proper strategy". 1st of all, the only reason your method worked was because you have the Hylian Shield. Otherwise all your shields will brake in no time leading to your inminent death because of the way you move. 2nd. This is not a "quick" way to kill one of them since you spent the avarage time ppl last killing higher Liney types rather than red. Then, although maybe not the quickest way, the best way "for me" is by having the Stasis+ (which you get to upgrade from Stasis early on the story throug Purah at Hateno research lab) and then... 1) To begin the fight: look carefully for a high position and paraglide to the Lynel's direction. When close enough leave the paraglider and use slow motion to perfect head shot the Lynel with an arrow. The Lynel will fall over his knees and that's your chance to mount it and deal some descent amount of damage before begin the actuall fight. 2) If the Lynel charges at you with his weapon: wait for it to perfect dodge it with a back flip and enter in slow motion to deal a good amount of damage. You can also perfect parry and deal damage while stuned (but to me this is harder and deal less damage). 3) If the Lynel puts away its weapon and it's about to tackle you: then again wait for it and perfect dodge it with a side jump to then deal damage in slow motion. You can also perfect parry it with your shield and hit it while it is stuned (To me this is easier and safer, but deal less damage). 4) If the Lynel Jumps: take your distance, run to avoid its AOE when landing. Optional: once you reach a safe distance from it, after it lands, use Stasis+ to breafilly paralized it, be quick and precise to perfect head shot it, mount it and deal damage. 5) If throws fire balls: just run around it until it stops (they throw 3 fire balls). Optional: if you are quick enough and find a chance, you can use Stasis as in the previous optional point. 6) If pulls out its bow: like in point 5. Run until it stop, and do the Stasis if you feel capable of. 7) If the Lynel roars: run as far as you can. It will deal an AOE even deadlier and wider than when it Jumps. Optional: Again, if you are quick and precize enough you can use Stasis+ to do you already know what. 8) Miscellaneus tips: - If you shot an arrow to the Lynel's head while in Stasis+ if the shot is not perfect you will not be able to mount it, but whatever attack it was about to be performed by it will be canceled, puting you away of major danger. - If you feel like hit the Lynel by directly get close to it and you find your chance to do so instead of wait for it to attack you, do not perform more than 1 set of hits with your weapon before take your distance, otherwise the Lynel will Jump to AOE you or directly hit you leaving you without distance and chance of evasion. Hope this tips and techniques be of some use for you rather than this "How to..." vídeo.
that;s kinda funny because a lot of people commented saying it helped a lot and he even says this is how you do it without using special runes or abilities. He only uses basic weapons. AND he has a video where he beats a silver lynel with only 3 hearts, no shield, no armor, no runes, no abilities and takes no damage. I think you're just jealous. lmao bro
@@geckoszn The top comment for me is a joke about video game logic and swimming. Personally I'm glad I found this video! I just used this way to kill my first Lynel without using master sword or having a Hylian shield. I just didn't realize you could just "brute force" ignore almost all of his attacks to be honest. I really suck at the other strategy (arrow to face/mount/smash), he always seems to block my arrows and then I get owned. Yeah I went through two shields but he died and now I have confidence to go hunt some more bigbois!
When I first beat it, I had no divine beast upgrades, and I had like 5 max hearts. I just kept eating food after every attack, and used the Edge of Duality blade (EXTREMELY POWERFUL) I got from a shrine.
He probably had an ass of food too, just waiting to recover hearts. If you’ve been playing for this game a while, you tend to always have food on you. My guy came prepared, he just wanted to show off. This is also an extremely terrible demonstration of killing a Lynel. For one he says “block with your shield” when he’s using a Hylian shield, which is damn near unbreakable by the way. Not everyone has a Hylian Shield, and Lynels destroy shields almost instantly. He relied too much on his shield in this vid. The comments go on and on about it.
From Someone Who Knows What They’re Doing: A good strategy if you just want the shock arrows is sneaking around him, most of them reside away from him and by the time I got to him I already had 20+ shock arrows from the trip up to Zora’s Domain. If you want to defeat him you will probably want decent weapons and armor(LOTS OF FOOD TOO). I personally suggest the Champion’s Tunic, Hylian Hood and Hylian Trousers. As for combat, if you have completed the trail that teaches you parrying and dodging, use those techniques. Also if you have a bow and arrows, aim for their face, this will stun them temporarily and allow you to mount and attack them. Hope this helped!

Ashley King So i guess for you hylain shield is really easy to get huh? and when you start playing you got 13 hearts already right? Oh and this regular lynel is super close to great plateau right? Cuz there's absolutely not a silver lynel in colosseum ruins next to the great plateau.
I struggled with the red lynel at the mount polymus and after I learned their attack pattern I’m easily killing silver lynels with an inventory full of lynel weapons.
3:52 use jump cancelling to decrease time of swing animation by pressing x right after the swing hits your target to cancel the two-handed weapon extended animation
Ok, when the lynels are charging at you, flurry rush it! Or even dodge to the side! Don't just stand there and let him start breaking your shield! this are not good tips for fighting lynels.
Jesse, all of my Lynel's are silver now :c (by the way do enemies level up with you because I could have sworn that a few of these lynels were not silver level before... and a bunch more silver bokoblins and lizalfos and moblins now too...)
Dancer of the Boreal Valley, Did you beat the game, and have the star next to your games save??.. I unlocked pretty much everthing except for all of the Koroks and I also have silver Lynels everywhere now.. They drop AWESOME gear though!!!
Wait, is that what happens? Like when I beat the game, that causes that to happen?? tell me more! Because I did beat the game, but i had NO idea the silvers come from beating the game... Edit : Huh. There is a star next to my saves now.
I'm not entirely sure to be honest... I thought it may have been due to that or that I had four star maxed out my soldiers armor and most of the others... The Red Lynel is still over at the 1st encounter area and one other, but everywhere there are supposed to be blue Lynels I have the Silver Zebra ones now with insanely high level gear and 5 shot bows... So I just farmed a bunch of monsters parts with those bows to get the Dark Link costume... I can only imagine what the Hard Mode DLC is gonna be...
5:05 "Knocked one of our fairies out" Lol no. He cut the grass and a fairy came out. The only way to lose a fairy is by using it. And keep in mind the Master Sword, despite it being the "blade of evil's bane", is decent at best, with a 30 attack stat. And that's not even the quickest way to defeat a Lynel. Use weapons like the Dragonbone Moblin Club with a level 3 attack boost (gotten from the Barbarian set and/or a meal). You can Flurry Rush all his attacks with a backflip, but you have to side hop to Flurry Rush his bull charge attack. And I was promised you riding a Lynel? Too many things wrong I can see.
I get annoyed when I see people so easily dodging the lynels attacks. I can't seem to dodge them for nothing. Hits me every time. So I just avoid the lynels every time I see one. But I did discover something about them. Just one shot from an ancient arrow will make the lynels disappear. But you don't get any items that way, unfortunately.
The first time I saw one at the gate arch to Ranelle, where the memory is. I had 5 hearts and my best weapon was a Knight's Broadsword. I was on horseback, and it threw me off my horse, I had 2 fairies. It was standing at the gate firing ice arrow barrages at me, so I ran in circles to dodge them. Meanwhile my horse attacked it, slowly chipping away it's health. It took 18 in-game hours for my horse to kill it! Moments like these, like where I found a shrine with a hard test of strength, I had to beat with 4 hearts and Soldier's Swords, is where I think about open world game designs, and how I wish the difficulty should scale with your progress.
Silver Gaming I made the mistake of fighting thunderblight Gabon as my first divine beast. He was certainly a pain in the ass, but he wasn’t as hard imo as people make him out to be, took me like 3 tries or so.
actual tips: try your best to parry. if you can't, try to flurry rush. If you can't do that, shoot the lynel in the head. it will get stunned, and you have two choices. 1. spin around with a two handed weapon with decent durability. 2. mount the lynel, switch to your most powerful weapon or weapon with best attacking power. it will not use durability. it is key to defeating a lynel. hope this helps.

What is your method of capturing your gameplay footage? I too would like to make videos for the Switch.
GameOver Jesse Well when he puts away his weponds and ruches, just wait for him to come close and do a side hop, then you get to do a flurry ruch too
I just use a cheap capture card.
GameOver Jesse make a guid were you try to tame or atleast mount a Lynel
GameOver Jesse
the charge can be sidedodged very easily. side dodge early to land when he's next to you.
when he spits fire, fire an arrow in his face to stun him. run up and you can mount him for some heavy damage.
use the updrafts from fires he starts, to get some air and fire some arrows in his face to stun him again.
Me: Finally kills a Lynel
Game: The blood moon rises once again
Please be careful Link
I once beat a golden lynel and then the blood moon rose but I came prepared with a whole page of meals that gave me a full recovery. Along with the fully upgraded hylian tunic, ancient pants and rovios rabbit hood. A savage lynel bow that shoots 42x5 dmg and the master sword. And the master Sword ran out of energy so I used a savage lynel club that does 107 dmg. Made short work of the second one
LMFAO
Lmfao
Uno reverse card*
Game logic you can swim upstream a waterfall like Aquaman but can’t casually swim across a gentle river without being exhausted.
UcantHide4eveR's Gaming Channel exactly that’s so weird
I remember seeing this somewhere else wtf.
thats why you upgrade the zora armor extra upgrades is stamina up during swimming!
Magic pants!
Well you can only swim upstream with zora armour
“Just dodge it”
I’ll never finish this game
yikes did you never complete the shrine in hateno that teaches you all this?
Fernando Romero I wasn’t able to do it so my brother did it for me
@@RabidRekijo big rip
dodging helps so much..or you can just max out your shield inventory and have a bunch of them to break
Malena Graddy go back to it and learn. Perfect dodges and parries turn combat into a joke.
@@Hat-Trick wow getting rewarded for learning how to parry and dodge perfectly is a bad thing and makes combat a joke?
Jesse: Just dodge
Literally everyone: *dies trying to dodge*
No seriously lol
It's not very hard, you just have to learn the attack patterns based on what weapon they have.
@@theastronomicalh8639 I'm kind of surprised that people don't know how to dodge
@@samBrightuel and even if you do mess up trying to dodge you always have your shield to protect you or have miphas grace or fairies to revive you
I came to this video for easy strats, but he really said, "Nope, there's no better way than simply getting good"
"Just dodge all his attacks"
If it was that easy, I'd use a spoon
You can pick up a soup ladle in Rito Village, lol
HAUHAUAHUAHHAUHAUHA good one, but this technique really helps me to realize what I was missing to beat Master Sword Trial.....
@@OeStEvAoRaPhAeL you know you can kill them just with an ancient arrow right?
@@theoriginallinko Does we have ancient arrows in Master Sword Trial? I dont use it in normal game because ancient arrows vanishes the dropped items :)
@@OeStEvAoRaPhAeL you can get some of them on the final trials...
I used them on the Lynels...
I lost the equipment tho but it was way easier...
I recommend using them...
Oh also Austin John plays made a guide 3 years ago but it helped me a lot...
*me with 4 hearts trying to do it while getting arrows*
Btw I killed it.
It's easy to shoot in the face and mount it, and it doesn't waste weapon durability while mounted so you can use your best weapon and do a lot of damage easily
If using your shield, use it's easy attack pattern to parry, stunning it, then shoot it in the face and mount
Or if you aren't worried about weapons, repeated flurry rushes are also very easy.
I figured all this out a few minutes ago after a long time messing about with it... And dying a lot
I never killed it. I just found some arrows next to him and snuck around him and stole arrows from the trees.
lol me too but i honestly thought that was how it was supposed to be, i guess im a sadist
I only have 3 hearts
I had 5 hearts and I couldn’t shoot it in the face. I’m so bad at this game. Btw a day later (yesterday) I got 9 hearts and I’m 8 days into the game.
Why do lynels have no miniboss health bar? They kinda deserve one
Yeah
There probably the hardest thing to fight
Exactly!
I agree but this would be insane they should've put one on the game that looks like leo mon
For me a guardian stalker is harder for me than a lunes because I’ve learned the fight pattern of a lynel so they are very easy for me
I remember the first time i saw a lynel
I was at the lanayru east gate and i saw it and i was like “hey is that ganondorf” then i got close and it instantly attacked me
I saw my first in Faron, at night, in a lightning storm. I started running away and it came after me. I got killed immediately. now I just use ancient arrows.
I'm new to the game and this literally happened to me last night after watching the memory before the gate. I got absolutely destroyed and all my weapons broke lol
Same.
Ye and he kept calling the flurry rush a parry
my first was this one too, i got lost going to hateno from kakariko
Everyone is gangsta until a *!* floats over a lynels head
why did I laugh so hard at this-
Sooo true!!!
"I'm just using the mastersword." Just best best sword and shield in the game. No big deal.
Heynicetie tbf you only need 13 hearts to pull out the master sword and it's not even the strongest weapon in the game when you use it against normal enemies. the great frostblade is way better for killing lynels imho. the shield you can grab from hyrule castle pretty easily, I got mine at like 4 hearts
I got mine straight after i got paraglider
The master sword actually isn't that strong?? Usually it's at 30 attack, and in situations like the castle or a boss fight, it's at 60, and there are way better weapons.
Nah, it’s normally just a thirty. Plenty of weapons better than it
Shadow Lida i mean, you can do trial of the sword in master mode to get it to 60 all the time.
Today I'm gonna teach you how to kill a Lynel
Step 1: Equip all your OP end game Equipment
Step 2: 2 shot him with no effort!
Yeah, he's the weakest Lynel, that's my stratigie exactly and I have 14 hearts
Step 3:flurry rush flurry rush flurry rush
Dizzy did you finished it now?
Lol you don’t need end game gear/equipment to defeat a lynel. Just a bunch of practice dodging and stasis rune to freeze them, then shoot them in the face. 😏👍 I know I’m two years behind this comment, but this is just for other people who are just now playing this game who will read this comment.
UGH your right you need end gear stuff man me have lot good stuff that are doo doo 💩 ageist the Lynel
This is a much slower but relatively safer method to kill this specific Lynel: Hide behind one of the large rocks and lure the Lynel with bombs or by whistling, the Lynel will circle around the rock to find you. Make sure there's a "?" above it at all times. Use the stasis rune to freeze the Lynel from behind (you first need to upgrade the rune at the Hateno Tech Lab using Guardian parts). Hit the Lynel as much as you can and run behind the rock as soon as the stasis wears off. Repeat this cycle until the Lynel is dead.
Thank you this sounds more like how I do things in the game 😅
@@lucky_lulu317 You'll get better at it, and the champion abilities help a lot as well. I got better and now, I like to eat mighty food and wear the barbarian armor while fighting Lynels, mostly relying on flurry rushes and champion abilities to do the damage.
@@jacobcox4565 lvl 3 atk food doesn't stack with full barbarian armor set. It max out at 3 stacks. 3 pieces of barbarian armor are already level 3.
@@stupendously_silly Damn, wish I knew that before wasting time gathering mighty ingredients and cooking them into mighty food when I have Barbarian Armor set that's been upgraded to 2 stars.
I beat a lysol like this but with a tree at a mountain. I only got 4 hearts and the winter clothes I have not armor yet
That feeling when you realize Lynel attacks are easier to dodge than Bokoblin or Lizalflos attacks.
well the funny thing is that they are harder than ganon lol
Yup
It's sad that Lynas are the hardest enemy 😔
@@yeahyeah1941 no. Thunderblight is
dark Ninja games mostly gacha thunderblight is a boss not a normal enemy
I love this game I just can't stand the constant breaking of weapons though that what kills it for me . They should have just made it where they get dull and just need sharpening.
They definitely could have added variations on degradation. Wood > chip > break, Metal > dull > chip/rust > break, Elementals or Ancient > weaken > power down > break. Then some different ways to repair.
maybe they'll save that idea for BoTW 2, i hope so
Or have the weapons you get from beating the Divine Beasts and master sword not break.
it keeps you grinding for more weapons though if i had the same op weapon all game it would get boring but you have to work for them and they don’t last forever
Dude you are so right. The fear of braking the weapons and shields is so much for me!
"Just dodge it"
Bro if I knew how to "just dodge it" I wouldn't even be here to hear you call the flurry rush a party, my guy.
I think the best way would be arrows and go around a rock shooting him in the face. He will occasionally fall down and you could hit him a lot with your strongest weapon. He probably won’t use electric arrows(he didn’t for me) I did that for my first time cuz I was better with arrows. But if you upgraded your stasis rube and was a dumbass like me and didn’t realize you could freeze enemies then just do that lol. At this point you’ve probably killed him lol
@@Muhil_mumu its not occasionally its when u shoot him in the face
*quickly*
*strategy*
*tips and tricks*
You might wanna look up what those words actually mean
that;s kinda funny because a lot of people commented saying it helped a lot and he even says this is how you do it without using special runes or abilities. He only uses basic weapons. AND he has a video where he beats a silver lynel with only 3 hearts, no shield, no armor, no runes, no abilities and takes no damage. I think you're just jealous. lmao bro
No, I'm just saying this wasn't a tips and tricks video at all, this was just gameplay of him fighting a Lynel. And even then, his "strategy" could have been a whole lot better.
Ashley you are a complete fucking idiot
Ashley King stop going around to criticism comments and going like “you’re just jealous” and then an obviously passive aggressive triggered “lol” or “lmao”. Stop bringing up the same arguments in these criticism comments and stop trying to defend your add loving freak of a channel.

you sound like an idiot.
jolly CREAMatoadz Which is probably unbreakable... can it break?

Its actually pretty damn easy to dodge
It's not that hard to dodge
Really easy to dodge tho
@@abolkilgen7334 no one asked
@@trendisty6160 for a beginner that is probably a little panicked, no, not really
So you think sneaking is just casually walking up with a bunch of loud armor?
I thought he did a good job.
Well he wasn't sneaking at all...walking isn't sneaking.
Shadow's Insomniacs no duh
he said on the video he was trying to sneak which "didn't work at all"
i mean the least he could do was crouch
When he charges in without his weapon, you can VERY easily jump to the side to get a counterattack in ;)
i do that in the video as well as just blocking it.
Yes, but you did it rarely, while I find it the easiest attack to dodge and get a Flurry Rush at
To be fair, not only is it one of the easiest ways to deal with a Lynel, it's also one of the easiest attacks to get a flurry rush on. You have a pretty big window
Yannick Luecker you can use upgraded stasis.
I find the easiest one to get a dodge and flurry on is when he does that feral rush
Killing lynels might seem hard at first , but then you realize lizalfos are way smarter
and then you dont see them and they just show up and kill you
Fuck those fucking lizards. Even with your most OP armor and full hearts they can take you out.
I was just screwing around and playing with the runes, and learned you could temporarily stop him with stasis+. That helped A LOT!
DanteBrian dude just to let you know, it says when you upgrade stasis that you can freeze enemies.
Stasis
I MEAN ugh I forgot how to spell stasis and discarded what I was writing. I meant to say what about normal stasis
FLIP
you know using Urbosa's Fury can destroy a lynel good.
unless you need to wait it out.
Tips and tricks? Let's go over them.
- "We're going to try to sneak up on him..."
You weren't crouching, and you didn't have any stealth boosts active (via food/elixir or sneaking armor set). It's next to impossible to sneak up on them without any sort of stealth boost.
- "He's going to shoot at us..."
Because you were too far away from him. That's the first rule of fighting Lynels: close the gap quickly to prevent them from using their bows. They are deadly accurate, and almost always shoot shock arrows, so they'll make you drop your metal weapons.
- "You can just keep guarding when he rushes at you like that..."
Unless you have a Hylian Shield, no, you can't. Your shield will break on the second hit if not the first. You need to perfect parry. And for that, you need to learn the timing of their attacks.
- "My sword broke, so we need something else..."
Obviously. Using the Master Sword against a Lynel is not a great plan.
- "If you get lucky, you can parry..."
If your tips are based on luck, it's not much of a tip, is it? Again, you need to learn the timing.
- "He only hit us one time..."
Which could have been completely avoided. Also, when fighting Lynels, unless you have high armor rating and plenty of hearts, you will die in a single hit.
You were ill-prepared (you got there with less than half your hearts and no active damage boost), you had no strategy going in (or didn't know how to implement it), and you had little to no understanding of the enemy's combat mechanics. Overall, a very sloppy kill. It doesn't take 5 minutes to kill a red-maned Lynel (2000 HP). I kill silver ones (5000 HP) in 30-45 seconds.
I do not recommend these "tips and tricks" to anyone.
You kill silver Lynels in under a minute? How do you manage that?
Savage Lynel Bow with Five-Shot Burst + LVL 3 Attack Power Boost + headshot = 480 total damage, potentially. It's always less because not all headshots are equal with multi-shot bows, but it's still a decent chunk of damage with every shot you take.
And then, a Savage Lynel Crusher with 100+ damage in conjunction with a LVL 3 Attack Boost = 150 damage with every hit. If you mount the Lynel, the weapon does not degrade, and you're guaranteed 5 hits with every mount. That's 750 damage every time.
My general strategy is to headshot the Lynel, then, once it's down, shoot it two more times in the face. After that, mount it. By the time I'm thrown off, I'll have dealt ~1200 damage. Rinse and repeat.
A Red Lynel would take no less than 10-15 seconds to kill.
Kamui Gakupo Damn. I gotta keep Lynel crushers in that case.
Kamui Gakupo exactly
Fucking clapping right now beacuse this is what people need to understand. Nice.
Just started the game. Dodging his attacks really makes the fight easier. And for extra protection I made a dish that increased my defense so each of his melee attacks did less a heart of damage.
I saw this in my reccamended, im not gonna watch it but here is a much easier way:
Use stasis+
Shoot an arrow at his face
*(after shooting at his face he will be stunned even after the stasis ran out)*
mount him
hit him while ur mounted till he kicks you off
*repeat*
Xaila Plays WTF IS THAT
If he kicked you then you'll run out your hearts
Chloe the lynel won’t kick you
@@blackboi0739 really? Cause I tried to mount him but I just can't find the right time. I kept on doing flurry rush till I ran out of foods to replenish my hearts. Also all of my shields broke till I'm left with a pot lid as a shield. Wth. But I managed to kill him eventually. Took me forever though.
Chloe mount him when you shoot him in the head. He should be stunned. Now you should be able to mount the lynel
For anyone who's new to botw, you can find white/savage lynels, which are harder to beat then ganon. Mainly because ganon is pretty easy. There's one in the Coliseum, and another in hyrule castle
it goes red blue white silver gold
So you're telling new players how to find the hardest bosses in the game?! Think about what you're saying.... Urgh...
@@Rich7714
I wouldn't consider Lynels bosses per se. They're enemies, good for strategy practice, and drop useful items. They're everywhere, too, you'll likely encounter a Lynel within the first few hours of gameplay, so finding one is 100% not special. Coming from a long time player.
@@gothicGumshoeame with hinox though. Hinoxs are SOOO easy💀 yet it has a miniboss health bar
For me lynels are easier to fight than Ganon.
ACTUAL TIP: Before Fighting, cook five Hearty Durians together in a pot. This will give you a dish that will fully recover you AND give you extra hearts. When you’re at a low health, eat it and you’ll have at LEAST 23 hearts. It’s the only way I beat him with 6 hearts.
Or just freeze, attack. Parry attack. Freeze Attack. Parry Attack. And repeat this pattern.
Golden Cookie not everyone has stasis+
Pyro Puffs Ok then dodge, flurry attack, dodge, flurry attack, dodge flurry attack
Thanks this helped a LOT
1 hearty durian is enough per dish
*or you could use a chicken*
EXTREME6364 lmfao
Cept you can't find a Cuccoo anywhere near Zora Village and even if you did, at some point monsters will knock it out of your hand or obstacles block you off.
EXTREME6364 *OH SHIT*
*runs
Kris The Human that's how I am when i see a lynel or a guardian.
Wished I can keep a chicken in the inventory
Oh yeah, this is a very good early-game tutorial. Step one: get the master sword and the hylian shield, both of which are mid-end game items, upgrade all your gear all the way, then it's no problem at all! How helpful for new players who are still just barely off the great plateau!
Uh, you can EASILY get the master sword with glitches, and easily get the hylian shield if you're careful enough, so yeah a pretty decent tutorial.
oh grow up
the master sword and hylian sheild are literally very early game

ikr I got the game for x-mas and I kept trying to roll like in dark souls lll
Good idea.
Does Bloodborne count?
Easier way Farm guardians then get ancient arrows
I disagree with this method of killing a lynel. First you sneak up on him and mount him. Second is shoot him in the face to stun him (to mount him again). Then you just repeat that process while dodging and flurry rushing.
gundamfan55 I just attack them and do LOTS of flurry rushes
no its all about flurry rushing, headshotting (with arrows) and attacking!
Because sneaking up on one is sooo easy lol.... I tried flying over one to land on him and was able to mount from there. Perhaps you can upload a video of how you sneak up on them?
@@WoWGirl6 dont mount it immediately. If you're approaching from higher up you should aim for its face with an arrow so you can stun it (even easier since you'll activate bullet time in the air). Then after you mount it and hit it 5 start shooting arrows at its head again immediately.
@@WoWGirl6 when he shoots his fire at you, after the 3rd shot, run into the updraft and jump up and use your glide to lift high into the air and then you can make an easy arrow shot to the head to stun him and then mount
He charges very slowly when he’s running at you crouched down so I use that to side hop, and get a flurry rush almost every time.
Barreethoven same i was super confused when he just let it hit him
I don't know what you mean by "You quickly become overpowerd" because I'm half way through the game and I still can't even kill Guardians.
Silver Gaming just deflect the guardians lasers with a shield
That works very well, but for me it's EXCEPTIONALLY hard to parry the lasers.
Gerald The Sea lion in master mode, some guardian beams are delayed like monk maz koshia’s.
You cant parry anything in botw. If your gonna use technical terms from sword fighting you should probably understand what they are. which is asinine and makes you sound ignorant.
For mot people, they get op very well, most people can easily kill guardians halfway through the game.
Also, the move when he charges at you on all fours is parry-able and you can also do a side hop to get a flurry rush.
Roses are red,
I use lots of fairies,
I have lots of pain,
WHEN HE CALLS A FLURRY RUSH A PARRY
Yes, exactly 😂
Yeah 😂. How did he get confused between a flurry rush and and a parry
@@yc663 don’t be like that keep it to your self

Whatever you do, *dont* shoot lynels with guardian arrows, it will teleport it god knows where and it *wont* drop anything.
i do becasue i don't even want their rubbish gear - i mean 24 damamge for the 1st sword???! such a crap reward - the hinoxes come with the royal 36 damage boradswords and you can SNATCH them off one for free!!
i expect that 1st Lynel swords to at least have 40 damage and 6 times the durability of normal weapons for the effort - the fight is amazing no doubt but i just fell the reward is too little,, 24 damage is piffle. Let's not forget the main flaw in all of this: all your loot breaks! What's the point anyway?? As I said; just nab loot off one of the spawning Hinoxes!
YES ive done that before and i was sad
And by the way they are called ancient arrows not guardian arrows
@@netweed09 red ones maybe. But the others give good weapons
I learned the hard way (dying thousands of times) how to parry all his moves, then becomes funny.
I just played this part for the first time last night. I broke 4 weapons and two shields, used countless potions to keep refilling my hearts (I only have 5), and a couple elixirs and I was so proud of myself for beating him. I just need to get better at dodging and parrying. I went back to that shrine that has the really easy guardian that teaches you the moves but you can't play it again. I wish there was a place to practice where you won't die. But I guess that's what all the monsters are for.
That’s what I’ve been thinking lately. If only there was a training mode
"I only got hit one time" dude you got hit like three times
He got hit once but it looked like he got hit way more cuz he was using it's shield
@@dabbidukk he got shot like twice
@Falcon Ryu yes
I've fought the Zora's Domain Lynel twice now and won without taking damage, I lucked out. Was pretty lucky that the two times I actually fought him he strangely never used the Thunder/Lightning arrows. Granted I fought this Lynel pretty late into the game after clearing all four divine beast.
Btw, am I the only one who kept forgetting that I have Urbosa's Fury?
At my first time playing the game, I went to gather the shock arrows and I didn’t know how strong he was. I died 2 times than defeated it. It wasn’t so hard after all. My strategy was all about dodging. I got flury rush nearly all the times, so I was kinda lucky as well, but I managed to defeat it with 5 hearts and an extra stamina upgrade.
Flury rush?
If u don't try to kill it, u will never know how to kill it, but if u try and learn what its moves r, then it will be easy to kill... Well that's what I did anyway
Butter Nut yeah after that you die one time after and then beat it
I was walking around and ran into a blue Lynel before I even knew what they were! It's safe to say that I was completely and totally riggity rekt.
Another Tip: You could also use stasis+ on a lynel. I think it kill a lynel faster.
That’s what I do
“Just make sure to dodge all of his attacks” ...yeah, my brain doesn’t do timing.
Nice Stone Tower remix, btw.
who else just tried to skip the lynel and buy shock arrows.
I THOUGHT OF DOING THAT
You CAN do it. I did it on my first playthrough lmao
If you save the shock arrows you pick up on the way to Zora's Domain, you can also pick up more shock arrows on the trees around the Lynel's hunting area. The tree on the (nearby) peak of that mountain has 5 alone!
I literally snuck around the big rocks and got arrows when he wasn't near me. When I hit 20 I BOLTED out of there snagged two more on my way. I wasn't trying to defeat him again. Maybe next one 😩🥴
I like your strategy for fighting these guys. Lynels can be pretty nasty if you try to fight them head on. Other than the one in this video, I usually tend to find Lynels accidentally, and at the worst possible times. :D An easy way to damage them is to stun them using Urbosa’s Fury. It will only stun them for a few seconds, but depending on what kind of weapons you bring with you, you can do some serious damage in those short seconds.
If you use an Ancient Arrow, you can kill a Lynel in one shot, but this method comes at the price of whatever that Lynel might have dropped. 9 times out of 10, non-Guardian monsters won’t drop any weapons or items if you kill them with an Ancient Arrow, so I only recommend using Ancient Arrows if you don’t mind not getting any weapons or materials from the monsters in question.
Brute forcing through the fight with gear and very little overall strategy really doesn't make for very good tips and tricks, there are several things you could actually have suggested or demonstrated that would help _anyone_ with _any_ gear be more successful, this is just filler video.
I show you can beat it without using runes. A lot of people say to shoot it with arrows or use stasis. I show you can beat it with the easiest strategy and that is simply countering all of its attacks. If I wanted to do it quicker, I could just "cheat" and use an ancient arrow.
I guess, just in the end it doesn't give people much. Yes, with some gear you can ride it out, but it is hardly a plan. More effective to work an ambush and when he does his fireball attack in particular it is usually easy to shoot him in the face to stun him for easy hits. Your method assumes the person is geared to the point where they can afford to stand there and risk being hit. Just very little strategy when there's plenty of room for them.
I don't think the gear was a huge factor in this. He was only hit once or twice at the very beginning of the video and his strategy worked with him beating the lynel with less than one heart by dodging. Great video Jesse!
Oh, and a note having just knocked out a zebra-striped Lynel, they're a significant step up in difficulty. With proper gear I hardly took any damage from the previous one I killed, this one stepped up the damage game significantly and added an additional fire area damage attack
It's not the easiest way though. Fire arrows on the grass, jump in the air and using arrows in the head in slow motion is the fastest way without using runes. Or using a ridiculously strong (70 damage+) two handed weapon while doing a spin attack :P
if you don't want to take constant sheild damage, most of his attacks, with the exception of the one where he puts away his weapons and charged can be dodged with a backstep
This video was to show how to kill lynels for people who will be coming across him early in the game. Not everyone is going to be good at dodging or countering their attacks when they first come across them or have stasis upgraded or anything else. So he made a video to show how to kill one by not using runes, special abilities or anything else. If you want an better way to kill one. He has a video where he kills a silver lynel with no armor, shield, special abilities, runes, or anything else. He is naked and only has a sword equipped. He kills it without taking any damage. I think you commented just because you were jealous. lmao.
"Gittin gud" is a better strategy AND better argument than "being jealous lmao"
you can dodge the one where he puts away his sword too if you just side jump..
If you side hop at the right time when he charges at you, you can get a flurry rush in.
Verdunian the charge attack u can side hop
These Lynels are needlessly being slaughtered. Dude was just enjoying the day until the player came up and bothered him.
Yeah your right I guess
I’m on that quest and I have 4 hearts I’ve been playing for 2 days
I took all the arrows and ran best strategy.
I found an abnormal way to beat lynels, just run in a circle on a rock to avoid his arrows, and keep shooting him in the face.
@@r2dxhate thank you for that
I just bought the arrows lol it worked fine
The hylian shield is a life saver. Just keep it held up and from my experience he can't really hit you with melee attacks as long as it's held up. And tbh it's not that hard to get the hylian shield
i just picked up the arrows on the trees from a far and took the pictures and ran
Looks like Im gonna do that
Im fighting it rn and I have no idea what to do LUL
Yee yee
Nice. I tried to do the same, but the lynel saw me and I got completely assassinated by him....
Me at the start of BotW: Oh cool, is that new monster? , I'll go fight it
*2 minutes later* Nope,nope,nope!!!
Me now after getting better at combat and getting stronger gear: Come here, fluffy!!!
purkle200 yup, sounds about right
purkle200 Lynels were in a link between worlds.
Literally me.
bro u r not alone
1. Use Urbosa's Fury To Shock The Lynel.
2. When The Lynel Is Shocked Start Hitting The Lynel.
3. Or, You Can Mount The Lynel And Start Hitting Him.
My first run, I didn't even fight the Lynel for the arrows. Before I found Zora's Domain, I found Lurelin Village. I got the arrows there and didn't fight the Lynel until I was super strong, with more than enough hearts to crush it and some great weapons to hurt. Getting to Lurelin was easy, I just ran from everything I saw, and saved everywhere.
Haha I didn't even think fighting it was the thing you were supposed to do. When I heard there were arrows on the trees I instantly thought, "Oh, stealth mission!" So I snuck around and got them.
If you wanted it to be quickest you would have used the barbarian armor and an attack potion. Also using a shield makes no sense when you can perfect dodge (it's not called parry) almost every attack. This wasn't a good play through at all.
The shield is here in case you fail to perfect dodge. It's not hard to understand.
No, you don't understand. He was purposefully blocking a lot of attacks instead of doing a perfect dodge which is quicker and gets more hits in. It is called how to "quickly" kill a Lynel.
Your right it's a walk through not a play through
I’m not a grammar genie but it’s *quicker* not *quickest* in this situation
Not trying to offend you tho
Parry and perfect dodge arent even the same thing. god it urked me every time he said parry... to me if your gonna try and use technical terms for sword fighting you better know what they mean or youll sound ignorant as all hell.
Lynels have gotta be the best Zelda enemies at this point.
"I'm trying to make this video as short as possible", no explanation until 2:30
Yes true
If he wanted to make the video as short as possible, he should've edited until he got to the mountain, or sped up the video
He didnt really give much explanation about how to kill the lynel, it's not a guide, it's basically just a video of a guy kicking a lynels arse. Not literally.
Vah Ruta was the first divine beast I did, and during the quest I had no trouble killing the Lynel. I just brought loads of temporary heart foods
WhimsicalWhimsicott weeeeeell tecnacly speaking that means you must have gotten hit alot, true players dont need to heal for a lynel battle so kinda did have a little trouble
jolly memeatoadz
Its just.
The fact that when you use a bow on him, u can't make a backflip. And he attacks u directly and you don't have a Chance to avoid it.
Its no Problem for me cuz im a good head aimer but for others it is.
I wouldnt recommend using a bow between the fights... Just if hes throwing Fireballs at you
_CrazyCrafter672 Ok I wOnT
Popplio you don’t need to kill him, just stay off the radar and collect the electric arrows from trees.
Popplio I done Vah ruta first as well, the Lynel kicked my butt many times
You said quickly....youre lying....this is normal how to kill these......
This video was actually a LOT of help for me.
you must suck at the game then. There are strats of killing a lynel without even taking damage or shield damage.
HeroOfTime 16 Except that the only reason he didn't take shield damage was because he was using the Hylian Shield (the best in the game) and fighting the easiest lynel variation.
11 minutes is kind of long to tell us how to "quickly" do something in a video game.
Lol, I hope not because his way is f*cking terrible! XD
for the shock arrow quest i would not fight it I just snuck around and painstakingly took each arrow when the lynel was on the opposite side of the area
You can also get a good flurry rush in when he charges. Don’t just raise your shield .
meanwhile me: *wastes 15 bomb arrows because I'm too much of a coward to actually fight*
Tip: If you are wearing champion's tunic and kill an enemy in a flurry rush but the flurry rush is not over, just simply don't attack (Try pressing B if the animation continues, don't remember). Then you won't have to waste durability on an already dead enemy. Of course, this doesn't matter if you are late game and basically have more weapons than you could ever need (or if you have majora's mask and can just go into for example hyrule castle and pick whatever weapons you find laying without a worry in the world, just sprint when guardians outside shoot).
So many missed opportunities for perfect dodge. Try constantly blocking his attacks with something like a soldier's shield, see how that works out for you. Also, if your stamina is high enough you can run towards the Lynel in a spiral whenever he starts spewing fire blasts at you. By the time he gets his third fire blast out I'm already right next to him ready to give him the work. You might try crouching next time you want to sneak up on him. You should have more mid to high attack quick weapons if you're planning to take down a Lynel, especially the silver mane Lynels. This battle dragged on too long. Didn't watch the whole video but I don't even think you mentioned shooting him in the face with an arrow to stun him, you can then mount him and get several hits in until he bucks you off.
Not really. I've defeated him with 15 defence, perfect dodging all his attacks and healing his attacks and shooting arrows as much as possible. He definitely missed out on all those good tips which helped me win
I got the hylian shield straight from the great plateau it's not hard why don't you try it?
Adelio Lopez best tip for early game is cook & eat 5xbananas/razor crab or that thistle plant & max out your attack for 4.10min then fuck that lynel up.
i just flurry rush, but like a few mins later all my weapons break
do a video out of it then
I remember my first and second lynel, the first was that lynel there and the second was a silver lynel (which i thought was white at the time) in the coliseum. I'd recommed using stasis plus, a triple shot bow and firing into his face so he's mountable. I'd also recommend getting close, as the arrows are deadly even for the most proficient player, whereas the sword attacks are laughable if you're decent. Dont bother blocking the charge attacks, the sword swipe you can flurry rush and the weaponless charge you can completely avoid with a sidestep. If you have access go revali's gale, use the updraft for air bow time but make sure not to go too high up or he'll shoot you out of the air. If you dont, the fireball's updraft from burning grass should work too, allowing you to pump damage into its face quickly and easily.
Also, lynels are easier than they're cracked up to be if you're prepared. Dont panic, focus your attacks and stay on the defensive for an easy win.
That was 10x more efficient than this whole videos method...
You can dodge to right or left if the lynel is rushing at you on 4 legs. Also you can parry fireballs. And if he attacks you with a sword while running, you can dodge it too instead of blocking.
YOU CAN PARRY FIREBALLS whaaaaaaaaaaat
use stasis on it, hit the lynel until the stasis runs out then retreat until stasis recharges and then repeat
You can hear the button mashing in the background
because I recorded audio as I was playing
GameOver Jesse thanks
at around 4:00 he says that you should just switch out from a two handed weapon to the shield but to a beginner that can be confusing if they don't know how to switch out because that was a problem with me so what I do with lynels and even what I did with the blights is to equip a one handed weapon and as soon as the flurry rush prompt appears I quick swapped my weapon to a two handed one which left no room to be hit without a shield.
For some reason, everyone clicks on this video and watches it. I have a better updated video that is 100 times more professional and straight forward. No one clicks on it though... o.0
Oh I'll be sure to watch it then
"How to 'easily' kill a Lynel"?
More like "How to brute forced yourself to the end of a Lynel fight" or "Fighting a Lynel with no proper strategy".
1st of all, the only reason your method worked was because you have the Hylian Shield. Otherwise all your shields will brake in no time leading to your inminent death because of the way you move.
2nd. This is not a "quick" way to kill one of them since you spent the avarage time ppl last killing higher Liney types rather than red.
Then, although maybe not the quickest way, the best way "for me" is by having the Stasis+ (which you get to upgrade from Stasis early on the story throug Purah at Hateno research lab) and then...
1) To begin the fight: look carefully for a high position and paraglide to the Lynel's direction. When close enough leave the paraglider and use slow motion to perfect head shot the Lynel with an arrow. The Lynel will fall over his knees and that's your chance to mount it and deal some descent amount of damage before begin the actuall fight.
2) If the Lynel charges at you with his weapon: wait for it to perfect dodge it with a back flip and enter in slow motion to deal a good amount of damage. You can also perfect parry and deal damage while stuned (but to me this is harder and deal less damage).
3) If the Lynel puts away its weapon and it's about to tackle you: then again wait for it and perfect dodge it with a side jump to then deal damage in slow motion. You can also perfect parry it with your shield and hit it while it is stuned (To me this is easier and safer, but deal less damage).
4) If the Lynel Jumps: take your distance, run to avoid its AOE when landing. Optional: once you reach a safe distance from it, after it lands, use Stasis+ to breafilly paralized it, be quick and precise to perfect head shot it, mount it and deal damage.
5) If throws fire balls: just run around it until it stops (they throw 3 fire balls). Optional: if you are quick enough and find a chance, you can use Stasis as in the previous optional point.
6) If pulls out its bow: like in point 5. Run until it stop, and do the Stasis if you feel capable of.
7) If the Lynel roars: run as far as you can. It will deal an AOE even deadlier and wider than when it Jumps. Optional: Again, if you are quick and precize enough you can use Stasis+ to do you already know what.
8) Miscellaneus tips:
- If you shot an arrow to the Lynel's head while in Stasis+ if the shot is not perfect you will not be able to mount it, but whatever attack it was about to be performed by it will be canceled, puting you away of major danger.
- If you feel like hit the Lynel by directly get close to it and you find your chance to do so instead of wait for it to attack you, do not perform more than 1 set of hits with your weapon before take your distance, otherwise the Lynel will Jump to AOE you or directly hit you leaving you without distance and chance of evasion.
Hope this tips and techniques be of some use for you rather than this "How to..." vídeo.
that;s kinda funny because a lot of people commented saying it helped a lot and he even says this is how you do it without using special runes or abilities. He only uses basic weapons. AND he has a video where he beats a silver lynel with only 3 hearts, no shield, no armor, no runes, no abilities and takes no damage. I think you're just jealous. lmao bro
Ashley King but the top comments are negative? Also I know I’m commenting on a 2 year old comment :-;
@@geckoszn The top comment for me is a joke about video game logic and swimming. Personally I'm glad I found this video! I just used this way to kill my first Lynel without using master sword or having a Hylian shield. I just didn't realize you could just "brute force" ignore almost all of his attacks to be honest. I really suck at the other strategy (arrow to face/mount/smash), he always seems to block my arrows and then I get owned. Yeah I went through two shields but he died and now I have confidence to go hunt some more bigbois!
Natasha the top comments for me are negative still. But it’s great that you found this video helpful
Quickest way to kill it is to just shoot it with a guardian arrow
When I first beat it, I had no divine beast upgrades, and I had like 5 max hearts. I just kept eating food after every attack, and used the Edge of Duality blade (EXTREMELY POWERFUL) I got from a shrine.
how could you eat food after every attack when 1 hit would kill you instantly...
I did the exact same thing except I had four heart containers.
the edge of duality is pretty weak dude
Dam I thought this was gonna be an easy quick kill... You got some crazy good Link skills bro...
You said you came unprepared but you had good armour, a Hylian shield and the master sword
He probably had an ass of food too, just waiting to recover hearts. If you’ve been playing for this game a while, you tend to always have food on you. My guy came prepared, he just wanted to show off.
This is also an extremely terrible demonstration of killing a Lynel. For one he says “block with your shield” when he’s using a Hylian shield, which is damn near unbreakable by the way.
Not everyone has a Hylian Shield, and Lynels destroy shields almost instantly. He relied too much on his shield in this vid. The comments go on and on about it.
I used this for the lynel. I didnt have these weapons so i got destroyed.. then i tried with another strategy and barely got hit.
From Someone Who Knows What They’re Doing: A good strategy if you just want the shock arrows is sneaking around him, most of them reside away from him and by the time I got to him I already had 20+ shock arrows from the trip up to Zora’s Domain. If you want to defeat him you will probably want decent weapons and armor(LOTS OF FOOD TOO). I personally suggest the Champion’s Tunic, Hylian Hood and Hylian Trousers. As for combat, if you have completed the trail that teaches you parrying and dodging, use those techniques. Also if you have a bow and arrows, aim for their face, this will stun them temporarily and allow you to mount and attack them. Hope this helped!
This is like a guide to wearing down your shield really quickly lol
Just use the barbarian armour. Attack up for each set
Phantom armor is better cuz its 8 protection and attack up
@@areksy70 no it's not unless u haven't leveled up barbarian armor at all
You had so many opportunities to do a flurry Rush.
I expected something more impressive than the regular way to kill a Lynel...
This video was to show how to kill lynels for people who will be coming across him early in the game. Not everyone is going to be good at dodging or countering their attacks when they first come across them or have stasis upgraded or anything else. So he made a video to show how to kill one by not using runes, special abilities or anything else. If you want an better way to kill one.

I think you commented just because you were jealous. lmao. btw idiot, lynels aren't stronger depending on the area "most of the time" it all depends on your hearts and amount of dungeons beaten. if you have all hearts in the game. every lynel will be silver. the most powerful version.
Ashley King So i guess for you hylain shield is really easy to get huh? and when you start playing you got 13 hearts already right? Oh and this regular lynel is super close to great plateau right? Cuz there's absolutely not a silver lynel in colosseum ruins next to the great plateau.
How about run in a circle on a rock, and shoot arrows at his face?
I struggled with the red lynel at the mount polymus and after I learned their attack pattern I’m easily killing silver lynels with an inventory full of lynel weapons.
3:52 use jump cancelling to decrease time of swing animation by pressing x right after the swing hits your target to cancel the two-handed weapon extended animation
How the hell do you make it look so easy?? I get so anxious
I'tS juSt A Red LynEl
Ok, when the lynels are charging at you, flurry rush it! Or even dodge to the side! Don't just stand there and let him start breaking your shield! this are not good tips for fighting lynels.
Hey does anyone know how to mount the lynal I tried jumping on it from behind but it didn't work
After getting destroyed time after time again I finally killed my first lynel with this guide thank you.
Jesse, all of my Lynel's are silver now :c
(by the way do enemies level up with you because I could have sworn that a few of these lynels were not silver level before... and a bunch more silver bokoblins and lizalfos and moblins now too...)
I'd like to add when he charges you on all six you can dodge to the left or right for an easy flurry rush!
i do that in the video as well as just blocking it.
Dancer of the Boreal Valley, Did you beat the game, and have the star next to your games save??.. I unlocked pretty much everthing except for all of the Koroks and I also have silver Lynels everywhere now.. They drop AWESOME gear though!!!
Wait, is that what happens? Like when I beat the game, that causes that to happen?? tell me more! Because I did beat the game, but i had NO idea the silvers come from beating the game...
Edit : Huh. There is a star next to my saves now.
I'm not entirely sure to be honest... I thought it may have been due to that or that I had four star maxed out my soldiers armor and most of the others... The Red Lynel is still over at the 1st encounter area and one other, but everywhere there are supposed to be blue Lynels I have the Silver Zebra ones now with insanely high level gear and 5 shot bows... So I just farmed a bunch of monsters parts with those bows to get the Dark Link costume... I can only imagine what the Hard Mode DLC is gonna be...
I’m definitely going to start watching your vids when I need help
0:15 You’re supposed to take a picture of the lynel near Zora? And fight it? I just sneaked in, took the arrows and bolted outta there.
Well you can decide not to fight it
2:09 "I'll try sneaking up on him first" *unstealthily running up to him* You need to practice your stealth. Crouching, perhaps? With the Stealth set?
5:05 "Knocked one of our fairies out" Lol no. He cut the grass and a fairy came out. The only way to lose a fairy is by using it.
And keep in mind the Master Sword, despite it being the "blade of evil's bane", is decent at best, with a 30 attack stat. And that's not even the quickest way to defeat a Lynel. Use weapons like the Dragonbone Moblin Club with a level 3 attack boost (gotten from the Barbarian set and/or a meal). You can Flurry Rush all his attacks with a backflip, but you have to side hop to Flurry Rush his bull charge attack. And I was promised you riding a Lynel? Too many things wrong I can see.
how did you get the numerical ratio for damage above the red damage bar ?
Champion tunic
@@GameOverJesse thank you .
I panic when he charges and I click random buttons..
Edit: I did it
I get annoyed when I see people so easily dodging the lynels attacks. I can't seem to dodge them for nothing. Hits me every time. So I just avoid the lynels every time I see one. But I did discover something about them. Just one shot from an ancient arrow will make the lynels disappear. But you don't get any items that way, unfortunately.
Jay M that's because the ancient arrow pretty much sends them to hell. On the plus side, they're not coming back. But you're not getting those drops.
Taryn Garton
They are coming back after blood moon.
They are just gone like you killed them..
I discovered that too. Luckily I always save before battinglin lynels.
The first time I saw one at the gate arch to Ranelle, where the memory is. I had 5 hearts and my best weapon was a Knight's Broadsword. I was on horseback, and it threw me off my horse, I had 2 fairies. It was standing at the gate firing ice arrow barrages at me, so I ran in circles to dodge them. Meanwhile my horse attacked it, slowly chipping away it's health. It took 18 in-game hours for my horse to kill it!
Moments like these, like where I found a shrine with a hard test of strength, I had to beat with 4 hearts and Soldier's Swords, is where I think about open world game designs, and how I wish the difficulty should scale with your progress.
the difficulty does scale with ur progress
Hylian Shield
40+ damage weapon
There we go
Urbosas fury makes it soooooooooo much easier
But, Thunderblight Ganon is incredibly hard.
Silver Gaming i thought he was easy
How the fuck..
Silver Gaming I made the mistake of fighting thunderblight Gabon as my first divine beast. He was certainly a pain in the ass, but he wasn’t as hard imo as people make him out to be, took me like 3 tries or so.
What stuff did you have?
actual tips:
try your best to parry. if you can't, try to flurry rush. If you can't do that, shoot the lynel in the head. it will get stunned, and you have two choices. 1. spin around with a two handed weapon with decent durability. 2. mount the lynel, switch to your most powerful weapon or weapon with best attacking power. it will not use durability. it is key to defeating a lynel.
hope this helps.
him: parry it
me: 😰
also him: flurry rush again i think i kept saying parry
