[@ecwdude17]

Ganondorff

[@briancorvello3620]

Going to be honest here, Coldera gave me a lot of trouble the first time - wasn't until after I finished the Wind Temple that I learned the "trick" to beating it was having Link skydive through the weak spot. .

[@SephirothAndino]

Proving grounds:lure muktorock(I forgot sappires where ice and not water😅)and queen gibdo

[@treytowers3379]

For proving grounds flow: ultra hand the rafts and shake. Constructs fall in the water and die instantly. Then you only have to fight like one construct on dry land after collecting everyone else’s weapons. SUPER simple.

[@kriscynical]

Even that captain construct on land isn't that hard. Just hit it with an ice fruit and push it into the water, too.

[@gio_sega]

It's always good to hear the word "gnarly" in a sentence.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

Gleeoks are actually not that bad. If you prepare yourself with a lot of food items and have the lynel bow which shoots 3 arrows - its pretty straightforward

[@C41N4]

To be fair, ALL of the enemies are not bad once you know what you’re doing. It’s the first fresh encounter that might be a bit difficult. You can bully them all once you know how to fight them.

[@bigbrother4059]

@@C41N4yeah king gleeok at gleeok den killed me like 6 times before I finally killed it the first time, now I can kill them in 30 seconds

[@leeks1408]

And a buttload of elemental and normal Keese eyes

[@chrisrussell9213]

Also, if you have plenty of fire, frost, and electric keeses eyeballs in addition to the lynel bow (which is really good if you have the 5 arrow upgraded version) then it’s a breeze.

[@pkmnlover3812]

@@chrisrussell9213 I loved using the homing arrows

[@ptolover7]

Lynels are much harder if you're trying to defeat them with only regular melee attacks like this video, but if you use arrows with bombs, portable pots, or lynel hooves attached, that gets rid of their armor more quickly and from a distance, then mounting them lets you get some good hits in without taking damage (and without the hits contributing to the weapon's durability so use your best weapon without worrying about that). Also, this may count as cheesing it but I just drop a spring when fighting gleeoks so I always have a way to quickly get to bullet time. Makes those battles much more bearable

[@JanusHoW]

You neglected to mention the most annoying part of Flux Construct III - its weak point moves around almost CONSTANTLY in the early part of its fight.

[@dylanmckeon6897]

One simple thing: use the spring and go into Bulletime to arrow the core that moves all the time. Learnt this by facing it and others a thousand times.

[@GlennJimenez]

Flurry rush, parry, destroy. To be badass in this game you just need to master those things. I go into the lynel coliseum because the rest is so easy to me It took a long long time to get to this level. More tan 350 hours But that’s how good this game is, I played it for a looooong time

[@BrownMan-gg7dx]

That one wasn't that hard imo. Once you learn lynel fight movements and how to dodge them, they're not that bad

[@kriscynical]

The only concern with the Lynel coliseum is having enough weapons to last for the whole gauntlet. Otherwise I can get through the whole thing without getting hit even once. My first blind playthrough was 400 hours. I'm up over 900 now with subsequent playthroughs since it's my escape game. The combat system in BotW/TotK is the only game I'm legitimately skilled at to the point that I can go through all phases of Ganondorf without getting touched and flurry rushing every single swing he takes at me without missing a single one. lol

[@Dragon-King1232]

Ive always taken to using a savage lynel bow mid air with bomb arrows on the flux constructs. Somewhat satisfying to defeat them before the fight actually starts

[@kriscynical]

Yep. Combine that with the fierce deity armor set and you're golden. I've also been able to do it by bullet time pelting it with a 50 royal guard's bow fused with low to mid level construct or monster horns. With the fierce deity armor because it's OP af. lol

[@JRod527763]

The scaffolding auto build is a godsend against Gleeoks.

[@Stevenuniversefan-n4f]

It’s funny how a lot of the comments I see on a video on enemies in Zelda they’re like saying all that enemies not that bad but was it that bad when you first Face them lol because yeah you know what to do now but back then you had no idea and that’s why it made it so hard to deal with

[@nc_evin6891]

This is very true…I died many times with Marbled Gohma, but killed it in the depth easily bc I got the rhythm down. Cant say the same with Lynel 😂

[@jmascret]

Trust me, I died a hundred times with Gloom Hands.

[@Stevenuniversefan-n4f]

@@jmascret I’ve gotten plenty of replies for about those enemies saying they’re a piece of cake yeah they’re a piece of cake to people who played the game for hours on end but if you’re just starting out lol it’s not a piece of cake

[@jmascret]

@@Stevenuniversefan-n4f Yeah, just like the guardians in Breath Of The Wild. I'm replaying BOTW right now. Yeah they're easy NOW. During my first playthrough, I've died a hundred times if not running away or teleporting lol

[@Stevenuniversefan-n4f]

@ I agree with you on that as well when I first play the game I did not know what the heck they were got my ass wiped and then after I have learned a pattern on how to feed them myself which for me was to cut off all the legs if they are focused on me I shoot them with an arrow to stand them and then go for the legs again or for the first time and then finally when all legs are cut down just will add it until it starts looking at me again then shoot in the eye with another arrow and keep doing this until it’s dead

[@L337M4573RK]

For the "Proving Grounds: Flow", you can cheese some of it early on by using Ultrahand to slide each floating platform out from underneath each zonai enemy so they drop into the water. You still have to be careful and on your toes to evade the ones on the other floating platforms, but it's pretty satisfying and rewarding when you get the hang of it. Some of the fruits may explode upon hitting the water, so be on the lookout for that.

[@Chyna_Doll]

The trick to Froxes is using their own tactic of throwing you off against them; activate bullet time for another easy shot at their eye. Rinse, lather, repeat, collect loot.

[@arthurday2629]

King Gleeoks used to be the bane of my totk experience, until I figured a way of cheesing them with spring boards and elemental keese eyeballs in combination with hiding behind cover. Then if I need gleeok parts for armour upgrades, I just use glitches to replicate the parts I already have.

[@maytheprincessofhoenn619]

13:16 "This is one fight that is best to come with meals to nullify gloom" OR Bring a pristine Royal Guard's Claymore with it's ability unleased and a high-powered horn attached to it, and a weapon with hammer capabilities to smash the armor before going in.

[@kriscynical]

The Demon King's Army is incredibly easy to cheese. I like playing the Ganondorf fight a lot, but since you have to get through the Army first I found that the fastest way to handle it is to have a rocket shield for each stage, use it, and then pelt the arena with topazes via a 5x Savage Lynel Bow. You'll be through it all in less than two minutes.

[@Aluranae]

See, the trick to fighting the Depths King Gleeok? Doing it at the point where if it hits you you die. Ta-da, no more having to worry about gloom damage!

[@ChadPenny-t4u]

Gloom Hands terrified me in that game early on. I ran into one unexpectedly and it killed me in seconds. Their shreeks and speed and relentless attacks are ruthless until you get stronger and have better equipment. I do like how the game makes you face them. After I figured them out, like lynels and gleeoks and everything else, they're easy but MAN that first few encounters....RUNNNNNNNNN .....You cant, they're FAST lol.

[@FloydMuniz]

here’s a quick tip for first time players of TOTK if you don’t have the Zonai cannon to blow the seized construct out of the sky an alternative way to blow it up is to shoot bomb flowers at it and another tip for the Ganondorf VS Link fight: if in the second phase Ganondorf decides to shoot gloom balls at you knock them back at him with the master sword 😫

[@MatthewMorris-r4d]

Phantom Gannon is easy if you can flurry rush with most backflips and side hops. Plus, if you shoot an arrow at his head, all the gloom around him disappears. Had to learn that the hard way

[@yatanogarasu]

The colosseum? Easy, bring Ancient Arrowheads with you.

[@MajinK]

They really said Proving Grounds: Flow, and Mucktorok were hard fights.

[@Powermaster14]

It's a pissed when you die in one hit

[@simontakataka]

Mucktorok is not hard but annoying AF

[@novheakooij]

to me, the king gleeoks are so much easier than the other gleeoks, because king gleeoks don't have the weather effects. that gives you so many more options in food/elixir boosts you want to use and armor boosts, since you don't need to protect yourself against the weather conditions

[@buttonsfan]

Proving Grounds: Flow is easier if you pull the boats out from under the constructs as they can't swim.

[@princeofpokemon2934]

I am easily able to defeat a Frox and Lynel. I practically hunt them for sport to get my hands on those materials that I can use to fuse into my weapons. The Frox are fairly easy to fight once you get stronger and when you learn their attack patterns. Lynels still provide a challenge but if you still play your cards right, you can still take them down. You just need to have the right weapons and maybe meals or elixirs that provide good status effects aside from healing. And if you managed to dodge really well and do flurry rushes, you can do the most damage if your timing is sharp

[@joshuathompson9346]

The captain construct 4 can be a real pain, it has the same health as the flux construct 3

[@DennisNyal]

A lot of the enemies on this list can be cheesed pretty easily. Iike when constructs go into their floating mode and throw their parts at you I use recall to hop on one. And it’s not just bomb flowers that work on frox’s dazzle fruits do too.

[@pkmnlover3812]

you can make Gleeoks even easier with a whole lotta homing Arrows (arrows fused with a Keese Eyeball)

[@erichwunsch9343]

I'll admit some of them can be dangerous early on but as long as you have good defense and high attack power, you should be alright, also, I didn't have that much trouble with Phantom Ganon in Hyrule Castle or the Demon King's Army and I don't know how but I somehow defeated the first three Lynels in the Floating Coliseum without taking damage

[@matt010288]

So essentially this is a list of 17 with 1 enemy listed 4 separate times with their different elemental variants? Got it.

[@JoBuJiGaming]

Flow is pretty easy. Use ultra hand to shake the platform, constructs will die immediately when they hit water.

[@matt010288]

Marble Ghoma is easy af. Especially on the replay battles in the depths where there is no ceiling for it to climb on.

[@IiaFilipova-sq1dq]

the demon dragon is not counted as a phase this is the final boss in tears of the kingdom.

[@kriscynical]

Flow isn't really that hard if you remember that constructs can't swim. The strongest captain at the end is the easiest since you should have at least one ice fruit... Just freeze it and push it into the water. You win.

[@jovaughnlaing7171]

The title didn't say they were hard it means that of the many fights whether bosses and enemies in the game these are the most difficult

[@michaelirazori9214]

Most of the fights tend to be relatively easy if you use arrow time.

[@ashleyh703]

The fire gleeok is the easiest if you use that tower thing to flee ❤

[@yan13502]

I thought Lynels were weaker than in BOTW, but maybe it's because of their weapons.

[@lucideirune1635]

Against the proving grounds water, you can use ultra hand and knock most of the bots into the water which KOs them instantly. Most gleeok fights can be very easily cheesed. The fire and ice ones are easier bc they are each weak against their opposite element. For electric and king, have about 5-6 rocket shields, 50 Gibdo bones, and armor that increases your attack. Rocket shield + gibdo bone arrows is extremely broken.

[@Saito86]

Proving grounds flow is easy one you realize you can ultrahand the boats and make the construct fall into the water

[@pkmnlover3812]

which I didn't know of

[@Zelda_Thorn]

lol i thought mayachideg was the easiest of the challenge shrines - i literally just suited up my lil robot guy with some spikes and then hid behind a barrel as he did all the work. took a while but i literally did nothing

[@XXZAY2_YT-b1d]

Ganon is light work,and I'm 13,it took me only 2 tries

[@gregoryhooks3393]

Queen Gibdo had me heated....

[@GamingKingdom91]

Funny story.. I was playing TOTK one day and i decide to pick some apples...when suddenly...out of no where...i got attacked by the gloom hands...that terrofied me,im glad they cant climb I just wanted some apples 😢 Edit: adding this here...the only boss fight (besides ganon) i found hard was the gibdo queen..that stupid sand laser killed me every time >:U (i had fun slapping kohga though 😂)

[@samutraifin]

4:40 is acually easy, ur can crab the towers and drown the construct.

[@JWBR84]

This game is soooo dang good.

[@agirlfromarizona]

my biggest takeaway is that cannons can be used as bomb arrows??

[@shesakillerqueeeen]

The mucktorock is by FAR the worst enemy in TOTK

[@johnsesia9050]

You mentioned every temple boss except Colgera.

[@goodnightmyprince6734]

Took 7 years for me to kill a silver lynel without taking damage lol

[@maxisenberg9093]

Lynels are only hard if you take them on normally but they are very easy to cheat. Just keep gliding, spam them with arrows in the face to crit..dwal extra with double ot triple arrows and attachments. Then when you land you can ride them fir a minute. If you're outside it's very easy to make a fire and ride the draft up. Muxh easier underground d at the coliseum where you can go through the ceiling...makes the room with multiple lynels long but a joke

[@glyberajones4031]

Hard does not equal tedious. Gleoks are tedious not hard. Once you master perfect dodge and parries lynels are so easy.

[@allendean8317]

That's the thing though. After you've fought ANY enemy enough times and perfected the mechanics. They won't be hard. But the FIRST time you fight them is what they are talking about. Don't be an ass.

[@glyberajones4031]

@@allendean8317 where in the video does he stipulate it's the FIRST time as a criteria? Time stamp please.

[@krvgames9258]

There is a difference between tedious and hard. Gleeoks are tedious. Lynels are hard. And I got used to fighting Lynels and kept beating them in Breath of the Wild. And my first Flux Construct was a fight I didn’t find hard as I beat it easily.

[@chrisbellon3739]

Gleeoks look like king Ghidorah

[@BrownMan-gg7dx]

@6:31 ive long since beat the game but muctorok was one of the bosses i struggled with early on. Took me about 7-8 tries to beat. For anyone playing and struggling on him or looking for a strategy getting ahold of hydrants and fuse some together helps. Active them and Hold it over him while fighting him. Problem solved. He folds

[@hankpeterschmidt8626]

Lynels are pathetically easy for me to flurry rush. That’s why I always use the royal weapon sets against them.

[@snotdog24]

5:34 this shrine was actually the easiest imo, I decided to give totk a second shot for the past week and grinding the shit out of it, and this shrine was really easy. If you knock down the droids in water they die instantly, and the platforms they stand on you can pick up and rotate them making half the enemies easy to kill

[@Mehenstein]

Mucktorok was pretty easy for me.

[@C41N4]

The Proving Grounds: the Hunt is THE EASIEST in the game, OMG!!! You sic the bots to fight for you, the end. They win. There’s no battery drain, they’ll fight forever for you. And if you want more power, just go around, AS YOU SHOULD, to find more of them the only easier Shrine is the blessings shrines.

[@Danielonius]

if the gleeoks and Mucktorok are difficult fight, you didn't see what the devs of the "Challenge mode" mod have to offer, such as golden enemies and brand new tier of minibosses and the brand new yet harder demon king's army

[@darkdragonmedeus705]

Fighting Gleeoks with 3-4 hearts and barely above baseline levels of stamina is brutally difficult. And make Guardians from BotW look like jokes. But here's a fun challenge; try making a rule where three hearts, no armor, and fighting bosses without bows, arrows, and items. Especially when Ganondorf dodges your flurry rush and uses flurry rush against you.
