How to Get All 6 Monster Medals (Medals of Honor) in Tears of the Kingdom

[@Johnjohnson2695]

A great tip for killing Frox. If you fuse a Lizalfos tail to a two handed weapon then when you do the charge spin attack the tail extends and gives it incredible range. Stand on a Frox's back and do that and you can kill it in seconds

[@MrW1ggy]

Oh crap I was wondering how I would be able to kill frox’s faster

[@Jojo.F87]

Had no idea the tails extended with swings. This is also super helpful when fighting the Yiga footsoldiers. Thanks for the tip!

[@lazyryan3766]

So, like, farther than a spear? I might have to try fusing a lizalfos tail sometime

[@Johnjohnson2695]

@@lazyryan3766 it's tough to say, how the tail uncoils varies depending on the type of weapon and what attack you do. I don't think they're super useful in a lot of circumstances but I think it's longer than a spear and basically all around you when you do a spin attack. Super useful for crowd control

[@midnightfortecrysilia6578]

Another great tip for killing Frox when they do the suck attack you can throw or arrow a bomb that they will swallow and stun them when the bomb explode. Another one is when you get lunch from their back high into the air you can open your paraglider and look at the Frox he will move to face you and open his mouth you can drop a bomb into his mouth or arrow a bomb which is easier

[@AdriftInVR]

If you have the Earthwake Technique, you can also lure the Molduga out with the rock pillar that comes out.

[@jack-videogame9533]

I didn't know that. I've been abusing the Earthwake Teqnique but never found that out.

[@JosukeHigashikataReal]

[@jermanjam96]

Broo I saw this right after I got the medal, I was throwing all my bombs and getting mineru to go in the sand lmaooo

[@erak7]

Thanks. I will still use riju but that is a neat trick.

[@erak7]

Another trick is to use is that the goron sage(i dont rebember the name) to knock him out for a little bit more time that whit arrows.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

NOTE: If the "How about big monster?" doesn't show up - you need to complete "Bring Peace to Hyrule Field!" (Squads on expeditions will let you know, and its location just south of the crater)

[@AirfixPilot]

Hi Austin, I’d already finished the game and it didn’t pop up but after finishing the defend quest in hyrule field it popped up just to let people know and keep up the good work Austin the content grind is mental and helps a lot of people

No worries happy to help and so happy you posting for tears of the kingdom cause I loved all the videos on botw.

[@Amins88]

A great way to deal with Gleeoks when you don't have platforms to leap from is homing arrows. They're pretty much the only thing I need eyeballs for, so I always have plenty to use on them.

[@stormshadowoffire]

Yeah i duped a crap ton of keese eyeballs specifically for gleeoks

[@Crestfallen_Warrior]

Using ice eyes in fire gleeoks and the other way around with a mutlishot bow is great as well

[@ViridianFlow]

And with Ice Gleeoks if you don't go from above 1/4 down to 0, they raise into the sky to drop icicles. Dodge them, jump on one and use rewind to go up high enough to shoot it down.

[@alexandersimonsen9911]

Another option is rocket shields

[@RxRj]

Keese eyeballs are life savers on many battles esp gleeok battles... No need to aim correctly on the eyes, shoot and it will hit it's eyes and stun

[@fijisharbrough]

Big tip for froxes: ALWAYS bring some dazzlefruits. Just throw one of them at his face at any time and it will simulate the same effect as shooting him in the eye. Ive been able to climb onto their back via their front arms for all froxes except blue-white ones, so going up the tail is the safest option.

[@reetrogamr5712]

Usually they spawn in a field surrounded by large sprouts which are convenient to climb because they have layers like onions which you can recover stamina on. Also if you just stay on one’s back and let it bounce you up the only material you will need is arrows and you can save dazzle fruits for gleeoks and other harder monsters… actually your idea gives me an idea. I’m gonna see how dazzle fruits react with lynels be back with the results

[@handgun559]

Just shoot em in the eye. It's kinda rude, but really easy.

[@ttadecoded1033]

@@handgun559 if you have extra bombs, you can also drop them into its mouth, or let it suck them up

[@zionnemakoma1398]

You can also shoot bombs into its mouth when it tries to eat you. when it does the vacuum attack, this is the only way I've found to not get eaten by it (For some reason I've never been able to outrun it), as it immediately closes its mouth afterwards, as its caught something, so I'd say it's a good idea. also, much bigger target than the eye, and easy to pull off when it launches you into the air off its back

[@magetsalive5162]

General Arrows protip: Like-Like Stones count as hammers, even while attached to arrows, so they will deal blunt damage to rock walls, ore clusters, and cracked sediment walls (cracked brown/blue/black walls.) (Edit: This means they do better damage to Taluses, too.)

[@oiram9466]

Good tip.

[@magetsalive5162]

@@oiram9466 I only realized earlier today that I had meant to add "Blunt damage also deals damage to enemy armor". (Just remember armor's a proper healthbar, it's not guaranteed to break in one hit.) Like-Like Stones may not be very powerful fuse materials, but there aren't a whole lot of other uses for them... and you might want to keep other hammer-type monster horns for weapons.

[@oiram9466]

@@magetsalive5162 true. Its still a good tip to break armor if you dont have bombs or a rock breaking weapon.

[@akpsyche1299]

You can do the same thing with lynel hooves, which also tend to be more plentiful once you've started taking down lynels.

[@nsgarci8047]

​@@akpsyche1299 true, but like stones have elemental varieties

[@pubertdefrog]

Fun Fact: if you use a muddle bud on a molduga, it will get confused and begin going in circles while occasionally popping out on the surface, letting you get easy hits on it

[@tallic967]

Pretty cool advice, thanks!

Probably won't use it to actually kill one, but I'd like to see a Molduga going bonkers lol

[@nintendofan9910]

You know, if TOTK had a feature where you paid Gralens a certain amount of rupees (like 100 rupees), he could mark on your map an enemy you haven't defeated yet, but only after you finish filling out the maps on the sky, surface, & depths. It would be similar to how you pay Hint Toad or use Uncle Amiibo to locate Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey.

[@beaumac]

They do that for the bargainer statues

[@thepicswin]

I found that putting splash fruit on an arrow knocks out the gleeok head in one shot, saving durability on your stronger weapons. Fire fruit works for ice gleeoks. It's only lightning that you need to raw.

[@kwesitalavea905]

That flame gleeok was my first gleeok kill. My strategy to get air time was to drop pine cones and wood all over the bridge as it was shooting fire to get air time from riding the updrafts.

[@hellothere700]

That’s a pretty cool way to do it. I just used homing arrows and some trial and error

[@byzantine5761]

my first gleeok kill was the lightning one in the coliseum. it beat me up a lot when i walked over there expecting a lynel, but once i got the thunderhelm from the yiga clan hideout, my first mission was to seek revenge

[@QuikHunter]

The amount of work and effort you put on these new game drops is insane man! Thanks for all your videos!

[@TrueAterLupus]

you dont need bullet time for gleeoks at all, a lynel bow + eyeballs does wonders. Just make sure to back off enough so it doesnt blow you away when it wakes up the first few times (depending on your loadout)

[@sandgaijin]

I've always called them "high-knocks". Nox is the Greek Goddess of the Night and the Hinox are always found sleeping or as a skeleton active in the night time.

[@BojackUnb0und]

Same lol. Heenix sounds very strange to me.

[@ACWells13]

I've always said hinox. 'Hi' as in 'hit' and 'nox' as in 'knox'

[@cqllel5186]

"Nyx" is the Greek Goddess of Night. She has children. Both Thanatos, the personifcation of Deth, and Hypnos, the embodiment of Sleep Hypnos, in Greek, is pronounced "Heeep-nose". So I guess they took the "Hee" part and used it in Hinox? I always called it 'He-knocks" bcuz that's how it was spelt and pronounced in Japanese. Plus it just sounds better

[@v4n1ty92]

I pronounce hinox like 5 different ways depending on my mood 😂 he-knocks, high-knocks, high-nicks, he-nicks, and hin-icks

[@rebeckasu]

Tip for Fighting those pesky Stone Taluses with the Weak Point on their backs/bottoms: Simply Deploy a Zonai Homing Cart (It's not even necessary to add any extra Zonai devices on top) -- The Talus will be distracted by the Homing device, and consistently turning and bending over to attack it instead of you, leaving it's weak point exposed for you to focus your attacks!

[@intel_coar6844]

I really wish you could buy a monster location from the npc for say 100 rupees. As much as I love exploring on my own and Austin John’s guides, I love the ability to do difficult things in game without having to look everything up

[@soullesscontent6350]

Skill issue.

[@intel_coar6844]

@@soullesscontent6350 damn you're right 😔

[@justinbombach9873]

That's what hero's path mode is for, though. Find a place you've barely explored, and just wander around for a few minutes. You'll almost certainly find something, whether it's a Stone Talus, a Shrine of Light, a chasm, a cave entrance, or in rare cases (if you REALLY haven't explored the area) a stable or geoglyph or something.

[@crusixangel9513]

Tip: instead of using a rocket you should use a spring for air time. Also it can double as defense because standing behind it will block most of the attacks from the dragons

[@Spitfyre1011]

Thanks! I didn’t know you could just use any item to distract a Molduga. Because of botw I kept trying to just drop a bomb flower but I kept getting chomped. That bridge fight with the gleeok was annoying too. Got knocked off, had to swim, climb and ascend very awkwardly to continue the fight, all the while the gleeok was unable to hit me. I like how the new monsters are a bit complex to fight, especially the gleeoks. They’re hard but in a fun way.

[@PeachesPant]

Thanks so much for the Molduga info cause I was legit confused on how to defeat them. You Rock!!!

[@houdini1243]

Your voice for some reason incited me to try to match it with my own. I don't pronounce the Zelda words correctly but saying them the way you say them made my voice feel good :D The way you talk has a good shape

[@white348711]

I did not even know that these metals were a thing so watching this video was mind blowing, thank you for always being so thorough

[@shauncollinson4393]

Nest tip, if you are not using springs much you probably have a stack of them and just fusing one to a sheild and using it to get bullet time to take out one dragon head and then while running take one out stop fuse run repeat, I run out of rockets in the middle of a dragon fight and used this. Pretty effective if you are low on rockets or don't have any present.

[@frostyboy7989]

I like to use the bird shield which gives enough bullet time for shot evry jump and u can keep doing it

[@juanandresrojas3345]

I was fighting a King Gleeok in a sky island in the gerudo desert, and the first time I dropped him he landed on the edge of the platform and fell down like 3000 m to the desert down below haha he almost landed in Gerudo Town :D

[@orchidsalvia285]

Against gleeoks, eg the flame gleeok, I recommend the elemental keese eyes. An ice keese eye does aoe frost explosion that when using a 3x or 5x bow will hit all three heads in one shot. You can kill him without even needing to use bullet time.

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

Bullet time plus savage lynel bow allows you to take out all three heads at once

[@miserablebrian]

Pro tip for everyone. Don't sleep on using keese (or any monster) eyes on your arrows for the Gleok. You don't need to get air time, just make your own homing arrows. They always hit headshots too.

[@tejpatel6840]

wow never been this early for one of your videos. love it. thanks austin!!

[@chapmanry]

I love the way you say mulDOOgah. Cracks me up everytime!

[@_ikako_]

tip for taluses: you can stunlock them by shooting their ore with a lynel bow, shooting them on the ground, then shooting it again just as they stand up. when they get knocked down, they will always turn to face you first. lynel bows are easily the best boss killing weapon cos they're essentially a shotgun.

[@The.Real.Strudl]

Love me a shotgun

[@Amins88]

Seems like you have to get the timing right for that to work. There's some kind of cooldown period after they get up where they can't be stunned again.

[@_ikako_]

@@Amins88 yeah, once they're fully stood up it should be fine. i usually wait for one to start to lower into the ground to replace an arm, which exposes the weak point before shooting it. shooting it cancels the arm refresh and knocks it down. but if you get the timing right, it's very easy to stunlock them even without the arm trick

[@reetrogamr5712]

Just pro tip if you don’t want to waste fairies on the gleeoks use Siddons shield thing. If it’s a thunder one then use the thunder helm which is fairly easy to get in the yiga hide out and makes you literally immune to 90% of its attacks. I haven’t thought of anything against the frost one but using a 2+ starRito armor will suffice because it’s attacks are easy to dodge and use rewind on the icicles that it drops in second faze

[@anxia-tea5846]

bit of a tip! if you use a multishot bow that spreads, it’s a good idea to attach some kind of eyeball to the arrow so all shots are more likely to hit.

[@bowley4]

Woooow I remember getting these medals in BOTW, and it was pretty easy/quick like 15 hinox or something… 18 talus… these are much larger numbers and I’m here for it!

tip for gleeoks: keese eyeballs on your bow can ensure that the gleeok can never attack! all 5 shots will hit, no matter which head you aim them at, knocking the gleeok down in 2 shots. i have literally never seen a king gleeok attack before since i've been using the strat. you can even snipe them as they're flying up into the air to do their final phase attack and the keese eyeballs will lock onto them from pretty far away. also, gleeok guts *seem* to be a 100% drop chance from king gleeoks, so dont waste your resources on regular ones if you're farming for the royal knight's set

If you struggle with the three headed dragon, it's early on you find it or you just don't have the hearts this might help: Aproach from the side of the bridge that you can see a broken wagon. Get behind the wagon and setup an auto weapon by building a cannon on a spring box or something similar and angle the cannon at 45 degrees before you stick it to the side top of the box and aim it at the dragon. If you don't have a cannon use a laser unicorn (idk what it's called I only started playing a few days ago). The heads sway around so they usual all get hit. Pop out when its down, give it a few hits and jump back behind the wagon again. I downed it with only a few hearts for health and not very good fused weapons

[@qwertyguy69]

[@Roseasuko]

For the molduga I stood on one of those pillars and i think use Yunobos ability or Rijus ability to lure em. For the Gleeok (about half way through when my first bow broke) i used a 5 shot lynel bow with ice keese eyes, took it down really easy.
