Fighting a GUARDIAN ARMY in Breath of the Wild!

With a few glitches, it's possible to gather an army of Guardians together. So today I'm going to fight 20 Guardians at once! This is the most extreme challenge I've ever done. Will I be able to beat them all? Time to find out!
Thanks to Japanese KZbinr ゼルダねこ for the amazing in depth tutorial for this glitch!

Watching Link get endlessly ragdolled by death beam explosions is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. Sure a good thing damage doesn't stack in this game or you would have been dead in first volley.

Yeah link is lucky that getting hit while in ragdoll doesn't hurt him

It's pretty difficult to fight 20 Guardians but what about 20 Lynels ?! 😱🤩🗡

[@ThornyFox]

If there was a glitch to bring them together I would definitely do that!

[@jakers12345678]

@@ThornyFox How many (if any) could you get together? Even 2 would be hilarious

[@ThornyFox]

@@jakers12345678 Technically you could get lots of them together, but you'd need to bring lynel A to lynel B, lynel A and B to C, and so on. It would take hundreds of hours 😂

Hey Listen! I value the fact you did not use mods and show everyone can do this on their switch! Awesome video that was insane 🔥 i did wish you used the lock on camera more to show an epic angle zoomed out heh great work ThornyFox

Glad you enjoyed it! I like to show just how endless the possibilities of this game really are. And yeah I wanted to get some zoomed out shots on horseback but my useless horse lived up to its name 😂

[@Gordakiprime]

5 years after the game released there are still so many things to be discovered I just found the very very bottom of hyrule with using glitches if you want to check it out and there is this new glitch that everyone has wanted but never has gotten and someone just found it oh and you thorny fox are the first hylain to go to space lol this game is truly amazing

I am really impressed you could take down ONE guardian, let alone 20! Sure, they had taken before damage, but that is CRAZY!

[@eetuthereindeer6671]

Question... if this took you 7 hours then how did you avoid blood moons? Question number 2: did you do a glitch to get full hearts AND stamina?

[@aaronlucas2185]

I would imagine that he used Essence Duping to get full of both. There's a lot of glitches that prevent blood moons, so I don't know which one he used, if indeed any

[@ThornyFox]

I actually did get a few blood moons, but thankfully they didn't reset the Guardians' positions. Also yeah like Aaron said I did Essence Duping for the hearts and stamina.

"Then I'll break their legs so they can't run away" out of context is terryfying

Thanks! Also I saw your question about the desert Guardian but I think KZbin deleted it so I'll answer here. That was actually just a joke clip I decided to add, but it's a glitch you can do yourself. All you need to do is Stasis a metal box so it hits a sleeping Guardian. Then right before Stasis ends, run toward the Guardian so it wakes up. Then it will go flying and obtain spaghetti legs!

[@Neris-of-the-hidden]

The quick beam barrages are so cool, i wish there was something like that in the default game For example the castle wall turrets could shoot like that since they don't have to be portable and are at the maximum difficulty location

[@thx4chrckingin]

"Rest in peace, guardians. You won't be remembered." Yeah, no kidding! Not a one is even an after thought in TOTK. I'm pretty sure the only reason the guardian in the Hateno Tech Lab exists is that it was part of the structure and Nintendo was too lazy to make a new tech lab model

[@lifalzos]

Is that really what you believe? LOL! Someone forgot about the completely redesigned Shrine of Resurrection.

[@thx4chrckingin]

@lifalzos That's a very good point. I did think it was weird though that the SoR turned into a normal cave. Where'd all the sheikah tech go? Dissapeared right alongside the guardians, that's what! All of that tech was forgotten, which still helps my original point.

[@Arsenics__]

can we just apreciat how much eford gose in to these amazing videos

[@dragonstormx]

How did their lasers knocking you around like a pinball do no damage?

[@ThornyFox]

Ragdoll protection. The devs made it so that if you get hit multiple times before you can get up, only the first hit will damage you. It's more powerful than Daruk's protection!

[@dhft4g]

@@ThornyFox You can also exploit this to save yourself from a Guardian laser. If a Guardian's about to shoot you, just blow yourself up with a bomb. Then you will be ragdolled when the laser hits you and you won't take damage. Not from the laser anyway, the bomb will still hurt xD

[@senlim8461]

could you do the same glitch with hinoxes or taluses? fight heaps of them at once?

[@ThornyFox]

I could probably gather Hinoxes if I brought Hinox A to B, A and B to C, and so on (because the despawn glitch doesn't work so I can't leave them). Knowing me I would TOTALLY do that, but sadly Hinoxes and Taluses won't attack if you bring them too far from their spawn points. Only Guardians seem to stay hostile.

[@hbarudi]

Did you get all the parts from them? This time you did remove all their legs which also give parts too. I see an ancient core in the video, how many of those did you get?

[@ThornyFox]

I can't remember the exact number, but I ended up with overna hundred of each part (except for the ancient cores because they're rare)
