Breath of the Wild Guides - EASY Lynel farming!

[@dangerfindertreasureseeker8905]

I was so happy when I defeated my first Lynel , then a bloodmoon happened and that four legged nightmare was back for round two. Had to go through a couple of food items but beat'em a second time with his own weapon < Pure Joy!! >

[@Cdek654]

Hahaha I had something similar happen to me; there was 2 guardians attacking me, shooting me as soon as I get up, then the other one.. Finally got to kill both of them, not even 10 steps later, the blood moon, and then there was 2 lasers pointing at me again haha..

[@williamguenther3522]

I had that happen to me but it was with a Hinex. It was at start of the game and I just killed it, and there was a lot of ores near it, so I mined them all then a blood moon happened, I could have stayed and kille the hinex for more parts, then re-mind everything, but me just starting did not know they respawn after bloodmoons, so I teleported out.

here's how you really lynell farm. find a high cliff paraglide to the lynell equip your upgraded guardian gear, equip your most powerful guardian weapon (yes do this midflight it's crucial for some reason i won't explain or rewrite cause i'm lazy) then eat your bananas for the attack boost. now it's important to land nuts first on his back and slam your axe into the fucker's back a few times (this apparently doesn't cost your weapon any durability) and after you had your fun in the lynell rodeo you make use of your upgraded stasis rune and just absolutely dominate the fight from start to finish like the bloody hylean wargod you are

[@theonewhoasked2993]

First time?

[@_horus_8484]

The best technique that doesn't require ancient arrows is the following: You need a bow, I recommend a bow that's shoots like 3 arrows, a sword or a great sword, in the best case a one handed weapon that deals high damage and some normal arrows. At first you approach the lyonel and try to shoot him directly in the face. If you get the right shot, he's gonna be stunned and you can now mount him. Now equipped you're weapon with the highest damage per second and start hitting him til he throws you off. Now do the same all over again, if you fail your shot just avoid his attacks and try again. The key is that when you mount a lyonel, your weapon won't break, so you can just use your best weapon all over again. Might take some practice, but it gets easier the longer you try and with the better weapons you will get from the lyonels.

[@charlesg7926]

There’s a couple things you’re forgetting. First is that you can use other areas besides ancient arrows. Second, you should start off by jumping from Hyledge to shoot him in the face like four times using bullet time. Then, you get an immediate mount where you can hit him five more times, and then do another bunch of errors in the back. By the time you finish with this, his health will be like halfway down.

[@canto5858]

He didn't realize that lynels are immune to the elements. Edit 1 year later: Just to confirm, you cannot freeze, set fire to, or shock a lynel. Idk about a damage bonus.

[@24fretsoffury]

J Mar agreed, the first time seeing silver lynels in game are big "oh fuck" moments, theyre intimidating!

[@MrMogi-zg2ud]

How do you not understand, the reason is because, like me, probably everyone of them is an experienced lynel hunter with better strategys.

[@unicorncrossing6376]

Mr. Moji Gaming so make a video....if your so experienced this video is no use to you it's for plebs like me who have shitty dodging skills.

[@MrMogi-zg2ud]

Unicorn crossing, yeah, like I’m gonna go out of my way to get a capture card to record a video for people who aren’t that great at dodging yet when it’s better for them to learn by themselves, here’s a tip since I feel nice:when trying to perfect dodge, something that the game never teaches you is that you don’t side jump/backflip by simply clicking the controls, you have to already be going sideways or backwards while holding ZL(if you’re using switch) and right when an opponent is attacking, jump sideways/backwards to initiate a flurry rush.

[@unicorncrossing6376]

Mr. Moji Gaming Ahh okay thank you for the mercy 😅

[@CapnRetro]

I prefer a more "stay close" battle, and use specific arrows for specific tasks other then combat. But i will use normal arrows for head shots, ropes, hunting... I like how everyone has their own style in BotW. ^_^

Fire, Ice and bomb arrows from chest and by purchasing at a store. Most of the electro arrows where obtained by killing lynels

[@CapnRetro]

A good place to find lightning arrows is the road that leads to the Zora. i recommend going to the Garudo village and take a picture of all the arrows the girl sells, and track whatever arrow you want. Side Note: Items respawn right after a blood moon.

[@grim5111]

I’m pretty fast with the flurry rush attack so there’s no need to go and waste so many arrows on one Lynel, really the trick is to just get comfortable with the perry and flurry rush and just make sure you have some hearty durians to cook into the simmered fruit that adds hearts, and the Lynel honestly are a pice of cake

[@MrArcadia2009]

Besides the fact that big, hearty Radishes are the best, grade A ingredient, 5 of those gives you TWENTY-FIVE temporary hearts. I suppose durians do in a pinch.

[@user-3399-tbd]

Jump off nearby rocks/slopes and use bullet time to stun the lynel with an arrow, then climb on it's back and hit it with your most powerful weapon. You will get 5 hits every time, and you won't lose durability. Keep doing this while keeping an eye on the lynel and dodging it's attacks. On dodges where I get to flurry rush, I choose to wait it out to save weapon durability. This way you'll gain more from each fight. The only thing you'll use are arrows which you'll get back more of at the end of the fight.

[@EpicDinoDragon5768]

I recommend actually GETTING CLOSER TO THE LYNEL to get CRITS

[@Rybot_v2]

These are sissy strats. Get up close and stay close. Work on your parry and side/back dodges and you'll be able to take down a Lynel without taking any damage.

[@netweed09]

well said but the issue is vers 1.0 is glitch - many perfect dodges just do not come off properly - or they need to widen the timeframe for it a tiny bit - these enemies are already at ridiculous 3000HP and don't give you unbreakable weapons even though you usually need to go through 3-5 good ones to kill them!

[@iexorcisedmypancreas6198]

netweed09 Unbreakable weapons just make the games combat system kinda ridiculous. The Master Sword with it's cooldown is enough of unbreakable weapons and having its full power only against guardians and inside Hyrule Castle balances it out. To be honest there is no point in game when there is a need for weapons because you are running low. And farming some money around death mountain makes you capable of carrying 50+ elemental arrows all the time.

[@kingnight4823]

I agree and a waste of arrows. just learn when to parry and jump and that will be the best way to take one of these guys down. and honestly even though I learned how to fight them still fun to fight.

[@Jackyl]

Or just wait for him to get into an attacking stance, hit him with an arrow, mount him, and hit him as many times as you can. You lose no durability on your weapons if you hit them while you're mounting them.

[@kingnight4823]

O no durability lose on weapons on mounting? you sure?

[@stormshadowoffire]

If you're gonna use flurry rush anyway may as well get good at using it against all of his attacks and using perfect shielding. Save a shit ton of arrows and don't have to rely on an ability with limited uses. Also use Stasis+ on him when he's doing his AOE and smack him. His attack will be cancelled when he is unfrozen and he'll take a bunch of damage.

[@Darkwiccawillow]

Lynels are so much easier to deal with when all I have to worry about is getting in the air and shooting it in the face! Thank you!

[@theonewhoasked2993]

You know when you hit his head and you can mount then attack him? He can launch you into the air, so use bullet time to shoot the lynel at the back of his head, it's gonna do damage, and if you have urbosa's fury, use it after he does the AOE attack, then climb up on his back, attack him, then use bullet time after you get off, and if you have problems with the air, just shoot a fire arrow at grass and use the updraft and shoot it in the head.

[@thebladiator8496]

@@theonewhoasked2993 the problem with that is attacking him while mounted uses a ton of stamina so you might be out of bullet time by then

Recommendation for any newer players/players struggling with lynels: When you mount the lynel, after a few hits, you are launched off. Use this small period of air time to get a few easy headshots on the back of the head, this will drop the health quite a bit with a Savage Lynel Bow, or just any 3x bow

[@theonewhoasked2993]

Sometimes, I just kill Lynels just for fun, sometimes I kill them for their loot whenever my lynel weapon's break lmao.

The hardest Lynel is the giant king Lynel (the green one) that you find after completing the whole game dlc 1&2 included that is a boss and has 20,000 health and uses the one hit obliterater. That’s right if you get hit by this guy you will die! But after you defeat him it is the most satisfying thing since you get to keep the one hit obliterater. You have to have killed all of the other Lynels at least once too if you want to fight this guy.

Two of those attacks is usually enough to kill a (white maned) Lynel (depending on the bone weapon).

[@richyroa]

It might depend on the weapon they carry (sword/lances/bats) and your afinity to Parry/Dodge accordingly. It DOES make the difference, as lances and bats don't allow flurry dashes. Again, it depends on your preference. I used to spend days grinding arrows from lizalfos in order to fight lynels, just to update the hero, hylian, fierce deity, and tribal clothes.

[@samufinland5765]

It might depends on the weapon they're using, sword+shield is super easy, spear is ok but I remember them having pretty dangerous jump attacks and clubs can be a nightmare with those AoE shockwaves and spin attacks.

[@MrMogi-zg2ud]

You literally don't need to do almost any of the things in this video, a quick shot lynel bow is better, when a lynel lights grass on fire from one of his attacks, use the up draft from it to shoot, when it charges at you, perfect dodge to unload a ton of damage and when the lynel turns around and shoot it in the face, basically try to perform a ton of perfect dodges, this can be harder than the strategy in the video, but I guarantee it's a lot more satisfying when you're up close and personal kicking the lynel's a** with a melee weapon.

[@netweed09]

this release is really far too hard when squaring up to the Lynels amazing fights but the main issue I have is a super-short unbalanced ''flurry'' mode frame and many time it glitches through your perfect dodge so this needs the vers 1.1 patch fix pretty fast - also - the hardest Lynels should give you Unbreakable weapons

[@y.f8139]

netweed09 it's not glitchy, dodging attacks only gives you a CHANCE to activate flurry Rush. the game explicitly tells you that.

[@Marxeru]

Maybe it might not always happen, there's a CHANCE. And I almost always get it against any enemy, so maybe your timing isn't perfect? In addition, you might have to do a side hop for some attacks to trigger it instead of a backflip.

[@samufinland5765]

I always got flurry rushes from everything pretty consistently, as long as I used the correct dodge type, wasn't holding a bow or didn't get hit while doimg the slowmo flurry, AKA clubber Lynel's shockwave. Although, the 3-swing Lynel sword attack was pretty inconsistent

My strategy is to attack it from air first, have a decent shield, parry if it gets too close, use the fire breath as an updraft, shoot it again, use stasis and get some hits, mount if possible, (if it has a club I recommend running after using stasis and getting some hits in) then rinse and repeat.

[@AlexTawen]

Lynels are easy

[@DragonPupil-dm7it]

Naked Pickle Easy? I fought 2 Silver Lynels with Savage Lynel Crushers and died a lot to them. But I was able to beat them.

[@coolman9020]

When you get to endgame, yes

[@The1withlogic]

First time you beat a lynel is a major milestone moment.

[@Wii602006]

You might want to ADD Spoiler to your video, I had NO IDEA that there was a Gannon Horse, spoiled it for me >:(

[@skippygh0st248]

Wii602006 I. mean there is, but it's useless. don't bother getting it. (stats are 5 strength, 1 speed, 0 STAMINA, so you can't even spur it) it's a pretty cool Easter egg and not really a spoiler. just get it for the side quest that comes with it.

Farm luminous stones and sell them for diamonds in zora's domain for quick cash... ore respawns at each blood moon.

[@fuzzyd1436]

If you did basic math you would know you gain more money for simply selling the stones

[@lorelo.]

@@fuzzyd1436 Noticed that pretty early on.Only traded diamonds 4 times for champions weapons,specifically for the mountain breaker.

It’s for baby’s. But hey it’s really fast...

[@jeffersonguzman9351]

Question how much did it cost you with all those arrows you used?

[@qcardcontinuum]

Silver lynels drop around 30 shock arrows, so he probably has a net gain of like... five, or something. It's way easier to just fight them on foot, much more fun too.

[@souldestroyer7]

the title for your video should be "how to kill Lynels for cowards"

[@SleebyRise]

Guillermo Sampieri Why does it matter? Everybody can play how they want.

[@souldestroyer7]

Totally agree with you, it was just a suggestion for the easy mode style to play

[@amiecornuchiha6570]

or how to kill lynels without breaking a bunch of weapons

[@Khyretick]

I was dumb enough to fight the lynel on Shatterback Point near Zora's Domain, only 4 hearts, just SPAMMED THE ICE ARROWS!

[@SlyBeast]

Amateur hour!

[@SlyBeast]

An underappreciated fighting game, wasn't it?

[@GH-wd8zr]

When I was playing BOTW regularly, I can't tell ya how many times I died due to a stupid Lynel yet the first time I finally destroyed one, I was HYPEEEEEE !!!!! I started the Lynels like mid-game. Missing my Switch and BOTW game. 😔

[@homeskillet420]

cringe

[@antonpintz4713]

There are regular lynel's throughout the game, but when you complete more divine beast they start to turn into silver ones

[@mephistoginger212]

Anton Pintz I did not know this Is a thing after I finish all divine. RIP

[@dietrichahlers6125]

I'm endgame and every lynel is silver. Not even white mane. Farming them is gonna suuuuuck

[@liloreo2871]

How do the weapons get better? The best I've got is a crusher with 78 dmg, but I see yters killing silver lynels and getting like 103 dmg crushers. How? I'm far in the game and silver lynels are all that's left except for the one normal one at mt polymous

[@arishasatari3676]

I have been kind of holding off on finishing botw so I ended up farming lynels and got kind of addicted to it. One of the best (and quickest) way for me to defeat lynels is to use stasis frequently. Also have good weapons (preferably with something larger that 40 hit points. Something like Royal Claymore). What you do is hit stasis when you're close enough to lynels so you don't waste time getting *to* them. Hit them as much as you can and run far enough away to avoid getting hit and wait until your stasis finish loading and do it again. However, this method requires familiarity with lynels attack patterns so you'd need to do this at least 2/3 times to get it down to pat. Also having Goron shields helps a lot in case you're not quick enough to avoid getting smack by lynels.

[@arishasatari3676]

Also keep in mind i've been playing zelda in normal mode and I haven't finished at all. so the time frame for using stasis to lynels might be different in master mode

[@knightsljx]

it's not farming if you expend valuable items and use special abilities. crit-stun and mounting Lynels is the best farming method. uses regular arrows, AND doesn't reduce weapon durability.

[@FuriousBeer]

I feel inspired to go and get a few of these feckers now. Cheers dude.

[@michaelbft9827]

Stasis is helpful. Helps when shooting him with an arrow, or sword attack

[@fightnight14]

You can use the updraft from the explosion/fireballs to paraglide and shoot arrows. No need to rely on revali's gale Edit: except for snowy terrains where fire updraft is impossible

[@baguette.gaming101]

ANYONE WITH A LYNEL PROBLEM USE AN ANCIENT ARROW LIKE FOR POLEMUS MOUNTAIN YOU CAN FIND THEM AT HYRULE CASTLE OR AT AKALA TECH LAB FOR ANCIENT PARTS + ANCIENT WEAPONS

[@XxBlowingdeathxX]

how do you get the numbers above the health bar

[@VNYoshi]

a bit late but, you can just attack up, use a savage lynel bow, either fly in or horse dash right to his face, then utilize the slow motion to face blast him. land, mount, slash 5 times, and pull your bow as you just get knocked off. Drink stamina as needed. With 3 stamina cycle you can kill up to whites without the need for a stamina refill. literally 10/10 no counterplay for the lynel. Only problem is, you need a savage lynel bow first.

[@GhostsGraveYT]

no you dont, i did a challenge where i used a royal bow and a travelers sword with no clothes against a silver lynel and the royal bow did like 40 damage but it still stunned him

[@VNYoshi]

Maybe I phrased it a bit badly The lynel dies after this combo. It's meant for speed farming. I would eat a 9 minute attack up meal, and go on the northern edge, killing the 6 lynels there before the buff runs out. Most of the time was spent moving from one lynel to another.

[@user-we6ks6pw5j]

what are y'all saving your elemental arrows for. genuine question

[@user-we6ks6pw5j]

@Nathan Graffin well i currently have 98 shock arrows and i haven't spent a single rupee on them. and trust me, i do use them. my point stands still, though. whether you're talking about elemental arrows or rupees, what's the use in stocking up on them indefinitely if you're not going to use them ever. lynels are the most powerful enemies that you can find in the wild, to me it makes sense to use these things to defeat them

[@meltenvy]

Strong regular enemies that I'm forced to fight, or clusters of enemies where I need like an ice arrow to remove one from combat so I can focus one down, or shock arrows to disarm enemies with. White/Silver enemies are all over the place in mid-game Master Mode so having them around for engagements I can't avoid is good. Multi-hit bows shooting bomb arrows will nuke groups of enemies. Fire arrows can burn wooden shields, and it's good for creating fire for stuff like updrafts and campfires so I can wait out rain when I don't have other options. Basically every elemental arrow has a myriad of uses and having a lot of them gives some peace of mind whenever I'm wandering around. "I have options if shit goes south." It's definitely better used than... this.

[@user-we6ks6pw5j]

@@meltenvy fair enough. i definitely understand wanting to have these things on you at all times just in case. i definitely wouldn't mindlessly shoot arrows at a lynel until i ran out of them either. i also don't really use elemental arrows to kill enemies often but i don't play the game in master mode so i guess it's different for me. for things like creating fires i always carry a great flameblade with me. but yeah, the beauty of this game is that everyone plays it differently. no wrong or right

[@TheVortex808]

Just learn to flurry rush perfectly, a perfect parry, and jump on its back when stunned to save weapon durability. Might take some time to do, but saves arrows.

[@urmumgeh4200]

Okay but how is this Farming? And the tactic you use is what I do when I have no shields and no way of regenerating my hearts. It's so much more fun to get up close and personal.

[@gwiggz7632]

[@auntvivienne8669]

turtle shell biiiig mood. I suck at parrying AND dodging. (Blessed be Daruk’s Protection)

[@Azariachan]

I need to try this. The only lynel I managed to kill was the Coliseum ruins one, and I cheesed it by crouching on a platform above where he couldn't see me and headshotting him with bomb arrows. Took bloody forever too. This looks faster and more efficient.

[@LittleBobbyTV]

This is what this guide is for! Its ti help those who may have trouble with basic combat systems in the game(I've played hundreds of hours and I'm STILL terrible at parrying). Glad you found some use for it!

[@Azariachan]

@@LittleBobbyTV I only got the game 2 weeks ago, I've played excessively since and still I suck. I didn't even know you had to press A while holding your shield up, I though simply having it out was enough. Worked well enough when deflecting (some) octorok ranged attacks. Yeah, I'm a noob so this definitely helped! :)

[@LittleBobbyTV]

The game is great and I can't wait for the second one! Glad you're enjoying it so far. Figuring stuff out is half of the fun in the game!

[@Azariachan]

@@LittleBobbyTV Oh the game's honestly a masterpiece. I was pissed off when they announced it would be on the Switch and not a Wii U exclusive as promised, so I didn't buy it until now when I finally got a Switch myself. It was stupid, I know, but I was hoping an exclusive Zelda game would prolong the life of my Wii U. Anyway, water under the bridge and all that, the game's fantastic and all those 10/10s are well deserved!

[@_horus_8484]

@@LittleBobbyTV I liked the video, but I prefer this method, cause you need only like 10 to 15 normal arrows a bow and one weapon: The best technique that doesn't require ancient arrows is the following: You need a bow, I recommend a bow that's shoots like 3 arrows, a sword or a great sword, in the best case a one handed weapon that deals high damage and some normal arrows. At first you approach the lyonel and try to shoot him directly in the face. If you get the right shot, he's gonna be stunned and you can now mount him. Now equipped you're weapon with the highest damage per second and start hitting him til he throws you off. Now do the same all over again, if you fail your shot just avoid his attacks and try again. The key is that when you mount a lyonel, your weapon won't break, so you can just use your best weapon all over again. Might take some practice, but it gets easier the longer you try and with the better weapons you will get from the lyonels.

[@xinjingyin7036]

I also maxed out all arrows from lynels too I'm just crazy at this game.

[@denpadolt9242]

You can take it even further by using Ancient Arrows which are unbelievably effective.

[@sporkkss2898]

This is a very outdated comment but, before you cook the 5 Razorclaw Crabs or Razorshrooms, cook 4 of Crabs or Shrooms then add a dragon horn and that will give you 30 mins worth of max attack

[@LittleBobbyTV]

No comment is outdated. ❤

I’ve been farming these lynels and I got a savage lynel sword attack up+ 46 (Around that) and now it does 100 damage.

So apparently if you move your camera around the lynel won't attack and steering the lynel
