So you know how the enemy alert takes a really long time to appear over lynels’ heads even when they’re looking straight at you? So I managed to go into BotW with no concept of these centaur bastards as a thing that exists and my first meeting with one (you can get right up to the one near that first memory you’re guided to) went something like “Enemy? No, not alerting. New friend?? Hello??? Oh shi- Not new friend! NOT NEW FRIEND!”

[@hazardousyt8233]

I've been playing for years and it took me forever to finally get the hang of killing them. My suggestion is to keep bum rushing that shit and practicing the timings for each different lynel weapon type. Only hard part about that is staying optimistic and not rage quitting because you will die a lot if you aren't used to fighting them. Also u need to find 3 lynels with different weapon types..... which honestly sucks unless you use a map made by someone for all the locations. I personally find the spears the most annoying to fight against because of a jump attack that they have, also the spears honestly aren't that great compared to some other weapons aside from their durability in the savage form. Crushers just take patience because the shockwave lunge attack can be hard to get timing down on and I still keep away from those lynels because for some reason I cannot dodge them for the life of me. A good spot to have a chain of lynels to practice on is in a canyon area near gerudo tower. Pretty sure there are two sword lynels and a spear if I remember correctly.

Easiest way to take one down is to figure out how to backflip to avoid the attacks. It takes a bit of practice to get the timing down, and some (crusher lynels) imo are easier to parry some of their attacks since there is a shockwave you get too, but the timing is super consistent and once you get the rhythm it's super easy to get a flurry rush on basically every attack. Then you just have to worry about running out of swords XD

[@rubixtheslime]

Not sure if you already do this, but instead of using normal food, just cook several individual hearty durians. A single cooked hearty durian will completely refill your health. You can actually use any hearty thing, but durians are the most common (and fastest to cook because you don't need to move the cursor)

[@nicholasburk8193]

[@zacharyhaynes8969]

I always put on the maxed Barbarian armor. I rarely get hit by lynels tbh so I just blow through them with the attack bonus

[@OgreManGaming]

The first time I went lynel hunting, I only got the courage after learning the headshot method. Now that I’m actually decent at the game, I use the casual method. But after watching this video, I definitely want to try out the boomerang strat

That cocky selfy pose after the boomerang kill😂 well deserved though.

[@arinolsensvebak9113]

Once, i came unprepared to a silver Lynel fight. I just drew my ancient arrow, said fetus deletus and the lynel got sent to a place where the sun never shines

[@solidzack]

Used up all my arrows too early in my first try of the last trial. Ended up killing all enemies but the lynel of the last room and managed to get him down to around 3%. It then one shot me

[@karamel5644]

The last one is actually just someone who finally decided to fight a lynel but accidentally used ancient arrows

[@thestarlightforge6568]

“The Lazy Ass” 😂 I did this to a Lynel once before I knew what those arrows did and was so disappointed; I had been hunting the Lynel weapons. Lol. Rest In Peace.

[@dkjcb3993]

OMG. I did the same exact thing 🤣. Thought I'd finally beat a Lynel, shot it with an ancient arrow, and ran over to find it dropped nothing.

[@JikuAraiguma]

I love how the most efficient method is called the casual strat.

[@LuisFelipe-pq9lr]

The most eficent is the headshot one, is the safest, has the most dps, faster, easy and low resourse use (A 5x Lynel Bow and some arrows), with 1 bow you can kill 2 lynels before It breaks, the 1st is actually the least eficent

[@ragnaroksangel]

@@LuisFelipe-pq9lr Your bows break? *Durability glitch enters the chat*

[@Dillliam]

If you have a 5 shot savage lynel bow and a 116 dmg royal guards claymore, you can kill a gold lynel in 2-ish minutes, i just headshot the lynel as it runs at me then get on its back and wail on it with the claymore

[@linkplays2952]

no most effiecent way is bug with horses where you can hold your weapon and motion control kill a gold lynel in sub 10 seconds

[@ShadowSkyX]

@@Dillliam some lynels despite their gold tier still have lower hp than other gold lynels. I think the lynels behind death mountain have the most hp and i consider those true gold lynels for that. If I'm not misremembering (which I probably am), they had 5,000 hp.

@shishsquared yes exaclty , i think it's for the player to identify the different enemies, like , you can see bokoblins et moblins everywhere but (if you do the side quests) you only discover Lynels on a side quest , wich demonstrate the violence of that thing :)

I enjoy the “2000 years later” when spinning was actually the second or third fastest of the 5

[@LuisFelipe-pq9lr]

If we count the ancient arrow It is the 3 fastest and easiest way

[@dennisleonardo2992]

Fastest is ancient arrow, then headshot spam with 5x shot savage lynel bows, followed by spin2win Most resource efficient method isn't in the vid. That would be doing exclusively perfect parry -> 1 headshot -> mount n' pound -> repeat. That way you're using up 0 durability and only very little (standard-)arrows because most of your damage comes from the mounting. And both hitting while mounting a lynel and perfect parrying consumes no durability whatsoever. Method gets more resource-efficient the stronger your strongest weapon is (damage per hit). So get that atk-UP royal guard claymore or an atk-UP savage lynel crusher to need even less arrows.

my style: the parry god of lightning basically just parry and slap him in the face, using urbosas fury to get a headstart, i also use the bow headshot to cancel his ground slams, lynel really cant do much, ill swap to highest damage weapon for flurries and mounted attacks. its not as flashy as the backflip bullet timers i see that do speed kills, but its still quite effective.
