I Prefer to Parry How to Kill A Lynel in Zelda Breath of The Wild

[@domdude64dd]

I like using the updrafts from the fireballs to float up and use bullet time to get the headshot/mount combo, granted there needs grass to be around but it's my go to method if it's available.

[@WTF-Gaming]

Yes thank you, great tip! Thank you for watching!

[@tphillips37]

I throw down 4 bundles of wood and light them on fire so I can use that updraft to get up in the air and shoot him. When I land behind him, I throw more wood down and do it again. It's always nice when he sets the grass on fire for me. His fire blast will set grass on fire even when it's raining.

[@WTF-Gaming]

@@tphillips37 that is great, love it!💞

If you have a horse, the Cycle, or Revali's Gale, bullet can be done anywhere. The Gale, of course, is easiest.

Yeah, that particular lynel parties hard, so watch out. I kid. Congrats! It’s fun beating them for their weapons, huh?

[@ShaunRF]

Tip for newbies: don't start with the crusher lynels, as they tend to have the most difficult attack patterns and are the least forgiving of mistakes. The best one to learn first is probably the sword lynel. As a bonus, they are the only ones to drop a shield.

[@WTF-Gaming]

Good tip, thank you!

[@giganticmoon]

The sword one is that one in the shock arrow quest right?

[@WTF-Gaming]

Yes he has a sword 😉

[@ShaunRF]

@@giganticmoon yep, he is the only one that doesn't scale too, so he will always be a red maned lynel with the basic sword lynel gear.

[@ericmarois6960]

I had no clue mounted attacks used no durability as opposed to flurry rushes. This tidbit will save me from breaking so many weapons. Also quite happy to learn mounted attacks are good for five hits only, with this knowledge I will stop trying to get a sixth or more in and focus on getting my bow out after the fifth. Thank you for a very comprehensive video with a lot of very useful information.

[@brianfox340]

I've watched a few videos like this, but this is the first time parrying or avoiding flurry rush to save weapon duribility has been mentioned! Flurry Rush has been my main strategy, and i always complain that i use more weapons than i get from these guys. Seriously, I'm changing everything in doing because of this video. Also, telling people HOW to practice is super helpful as well. Great video

[@johnwoodard8717]

For Lynels, I generally hit them with Statis, shoot them in the face, then wait. They'll drop but get up and shake their head, giving you time to aim. Also, your aim point is where their beard meets their face; higher and it's a head shot but will not stun them.

[@LauraL_PMPS]

Thanks for this! I was definitely aiming too high.

I found that you can only stasis them once? Then have to wait a bit before you can do it again?

Amazing video as always. I stopped using these techniques I haven’t played mastermode but they’re the “hardest” enemies and I enjoy fighting over everything so I kill Lynels every blood moon. I usually just parry all attacks for more challenge it’s also fun asf. Another benefit to this is if you practice this you’ll be able to dodge and parry all the other enemies

[@babybug2023]

Learning to stun and mount the lynels (from your video) made fighting them so much more fun, and also helped me make the most out of damaged weapons. Nothing is more satisfying than finishing them off with a weapon that only has one hit left and getting rewarded with a fresh weapon 😂

[@Sakabatou77]

I like standing in tall grass when the Lynel is shooting its fire balls. It creates an up-draft that I use to shoot its head with my bow and arrow. I also take a few swipes at the Lynel before I mount it. If I'm using a wooden shield or sword because of lighting I run sideways and run up to it and shoot it's face. I, myself, I like to use the Zoni armor. But if I don't have it then I use attack-up food. I have done both, and, wow! I know players have beaten Golden Lynel's in seconds, but I've beaten a Golden Lynel around thirty seconds. What helped that was that I had a five arrow Savage Lynel bow and a Savage Lynel Crusher. The POWER! Great video!.

The main thing I've learned watching your strategy is that while I'm riding him and hitting him I need to turn the camera round so that it's behind me. That way when I'm thrown off the angle is set up for arrow time. Previously I was turning the camera in mid-air, which failed spectacularly.

[@amywright6100]

I am loving these videos! I am learning things I never knew (and I've played since it came out)! I will say that one thing I would recommend is coming endura foods one at a time and just eating one when you need it because it will fill your stamina completely each time!

[@WTF-Gaming]

Good tip…Thank you so much and thank you for watching!

[@amywright6100]

Also, I suck at shield parrying them for some reason, so I tend to take a multi arrow bow and just z target and shoot them in the face while they're running toward me. Works 98% of the time (I'll get hit every now and again, especially if it's a tight area, but works well otherwise). The multi arrow bow really increases the chance of hitting the critical zone.

[@amywright6100]

And I love that your weapon never breaks from hitting him while mounted. I'm keeping a 100+ savage Lionel crusher just for this purpose.

[@WTF-Gaming]

Yes I love the multi shot bows!

Tip: it’s a lot easier to run to the side and mount them if they charge at you rather than parrying.

Wow - super helpful as always. My Lynel fighting skills are improving and this video is inspiring to continue. For instance, I've finally been able to mount them, but I never thought to use the opportunity to bring out the bow when he throws you off. And I will indeed take some time to practice the dodge and parry - thanks so much!

[@atMagnusKnight]

I just used your strategy to defeat a Lynel! Thanks for this guide! I will say though, by far the most difficult part for me was shooting the Lynel in the face with the arrow. I probably only got the stun about 20% of the attempts I tried. Many times I hit him in the head and he didn't care a bit, the only time it stunned him was if I got an exact hit on his face, which was a bit difficult because his head is bobbing a bit after the parry. I actually found the parries to be very easy. The strategy does work though. Thanks again!

[@WTF-Gaming]

I failed to mention this, but it does help to tilt the controller up when you are trying to hit him in the face after a parry if you still have your motion controls on, but I am glad it helped and thank you so much for watching!

[@taylah1218]

Soo I am late to the party in playing this game. I'm about halfway thru the main storyline and encountered four lynels, thus far could not get a single one down, never could get even the damn "easy" red one, on Ploymus (had to sneak for shock arrows in the water area for that quest), I've buckled down to try to do it evey time i encountered one, like really sit there and try for an hour and have failed. I'm two divine beasts down, up in Eldin ridges and bam, see a silver one. Figure tonight is the night! I only got 13 hearts, miphas grace, and daruks protection. I even have watched your video before and several others. I rewatched yours and was determined!!!! Well ladies n gents, i did it!! I can't believe it. And a silver one for my first, taboot!! Thank you so so very much you are an angel lol. I still can't perfectly parry nor dodge, but the ones i can get in were great. So i know i will only improve from here. ***The biggest help was the patterns of when we stun them, i used stasis a lot. Anyways to anyone reading this, you can do it. I am not a historically good combat gamer, mostly always played things like Tony Hawk on PS1, or Mario Bros etc when I was little. I love Stardew valley etc etc. So i get very easily frustrated with BOTW....welp, cannot even explain how worth it is to y'all with when you beat one, how incredible of a feeling it is. ❤😊

This is great advice. I finally got to kill my first Lynel (the one over Zora’s Domain). Practice dodging and parrying before I went full in.

[@WTF-Gaming]

[@joshbuhl9824]

Great tutorial! Btw, 5 Mighty Bananas and 5 Iron Shrooms are a waste. To get a level 3 buff in either toughness or strength you need 7 buff points. Each of those ingredients has 2, so that wastes 3 buff points. Using 3 Mighty Bananas and 1 Mighty thistle (1 buff point), or three Iron Shrooms and a Armoranth (also 1 buff point) gives you the 7 points and then either 1 salt, 1 milk, 1 egg, or an acorn makes better use of ingredients and gives you a longer buff.

[@kalanamalros]

For the newbies who didn't play BOTW this video really isn't out of date. However Lynels have a new attack where they will headbutt the player with their horns if you don't have your shield up they will hit you with their headbutt attack and if you have your shield up and they do their headbutt attack that will decrease it's durability your best bet when fighting Lynels especially ones of a higher level is to use a multi shot bow this has a higher chance of doing a headshot so it's easier to stun them once you get onto the Lynels back use your most powerful weapon as attacking a Lynel while your on it's back will not affect your weapons durability so be sure to have a good strong weapon that will do a lot of damage and when you're practicing your Flurry Rushes and Shield Parrys count in your head and then press the A button Lynels aren't hard to beat once you have strong enough weapons, know their attack patterns, when to parry, and when to get a headshot it takes a lot of practice there's times where I've died but it doesn't happen often anymore and you won't either after awhile I've been able to defeat all of the Lynels in the Floating Coliseum in one sitting on multiple occasions

It might help to say "jump button." I swapped the X and B buttons because X for jump made no sense to me, especially being used to B for jump in so many other games. Now X is for running, but also to cancel (like cancel climbing, etc), which makes sense.

I use bullet time to start it Off and Headshot lynels Like 3 Times , and the i mount them, as soon as i jump Off i bullet time again and continue , after that i either stun them again with urobosas wraith or a bow shot , or Parry the next Attack and continue. And then i use revalis updraft and do everything over again . That makes it pretty easy .( But i first defeated them in maxed Out barbarian Armor , so i dont have much experience without middle to strong Armor )and since i defeated more of them i often either use lynels weapons or ancient weapons with ancient Leveld Up Armor.

I feel ready now to start fighting more Lynels😀 I need to get with it.😆

[@insertmetalusernamehere]

I've got it down to a science thanks to your videos. I switch over to the barbarian armor and then I glide down on top of them from a high point. I have a crushed that does 106 damage so I start off with that weapon. Once he bucks me off I get a few head shots in. I wait for him to come after me and use the perfect gaurd to knock him back.

[@WTF-Gaming]

Just do it, you got this 💪

[@IRanOutOfPhrases]

I'd probably be terrible at parrying Lynels. I try to look for other prone moments to get the headshot (which is made much easier with a multi-shot bow than a single-arrow bow.) Those windows would be: - before/after the fire breathing (usually try to do that after the fire since there's less risk of being injured if you miss.) - After a standing still strike And sometimes if he just did a running passby swing attack, I try to get a quick snipe as he's turning back around. I feel that's usually enough windows to still somewhat quickly defeat one. The reason I'm kinda of anti-parrying is that I'm pretty sure it's a much smaller window to parry as opposed to just dodging. And if you get the parry timed wrong, you can get hit hard. Where if you miss-time the dodge, you still have a high chance of dodging, you just won't get the parry-rush. Not to mention the window to get a parry-rush is MUCH larger than parrying an attack. Particularly when the lynel charges without weapons, it's kind of amazing how early you can jump to the side and still activate it, haha

[@WTF-Gaming]

😉yes but just practice it, you may be surprised!

Thanks for the tips. I wasn't aware of the dragon horns.

[@budgetcoinhunter]

So, the Silver Lynel's 'roar-and-AoE' attack comes at at least two predetermined points: 1) when you first walk up to a Lynel, and 2) the first opportunity after he passes 50% health lost. Another point that may go into a future "What I wish I knew earlier" is that in a Flurry Rush, even if you've already reduced your target's HP to 0, you can still mash the button... and continue to spend durability points on a dead enemy. People that complain about brittle weapons might find ways to make them last longer if they quit doing that.

[@Gallyga]

I find switching weapons quickly really difficult (ie from Bow to Shield and back). So if I take the headshot with the bow and don't trigger the Lynel to bow, I'm pretty much going to get hit by the Lynels incoming attack as I can't switch quick enough back to shield. It wasn't pretty (still went thru 2 bows and 4 shield and a good 6 fairies!) but I did just manage to kill a white maned Lynel so thanks for the tips, I love your delivery - calm and clear.

Tip- get a horse or the master cycle zero or anything that you can hop off of to get into bullet time. When you first approach the lynel, before it does anything go into bullet time and hit it in the face. When it goes down damage it in whatever way you want, and when it’s about to get up again hop onto your vehicle and go into bullet time before it can do anything. Hit it in the face and repeat.

Breath of the Wild is the first game I downloaded. You have many helpful videos that I will be perusing over for advice. Thanks for the great content!

[@craigmcfly]

My approach to Lynels is like a JJ Abrams sci-fi movie - fire everything!!!! I have no technique whatsoever and I go through sooooo much food and ammo. I'll definitely be giving your video a try!

[@WTF-Gaming]

I hope it helps… thank you for watching!

[@craigmcfly]

@@WTF-Gaming it did! I still can't dodge properly, but at least I didn't burn through all my weaponry. The other things that help me are: - make sure I have all three fury and protection available. - stay out of its RADAR until I can land on it, that way I can get a few jabs in to start the fight.

[@WTF-Gaming]

@@craigmcfly Just keep at it over and over again and you will Learn his movements… You will get it!😉 then you will be hunting for sport!

[@jane_draws_stuff]

Very helpful! Helped me defeat my first Lynel!

[@WTF-Gaming]

I am glad it helped and thank you for watching!

[@bbcbe10]

I've been playing this game for two months now and the Lynel in Zora's domain killed me so many times I gave up on them. I have all divine beasts but not one Lynel, I'm going to try this now :)

[@WTF-Gaming]

Keep at it, you will get it 💪

[@howardsternssmicrophone9332]

See if you can bring one down using a mop. That would be awesome. Kilton sells them cheap, and you can occasionally get one off a bokoblin.

[@WTF-Gaming]

I am positive that you can, but I am sure that it would take a while😉😎

[@D_ytAcct]

Thank you for this! I've recently returned to the game on master mode and I was never any good at lynels, so I think some parry practice is in order!!

[@WTF-Gaming]

You got this!💪

[@CrazyPaine]

Thank you so much for this video. This actually helped out so much. I can't wait to practice. I was so scared of fighting Lynels now you made it so easy. I am definitely going to put this into practice. Honestly this will make me a better at parrying enemies over all especially the ancient guardians.

[@WTF-Gaming]

I am so glad it helped and thank you so much for watching!

[@WTF-Gaming]

See if this helps with other enemies and the guardians😉 I Wish I Knew Earlier How to Parry/Flurry Rush in Zelda Breath of The Wild kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2a7mmOkl5Wsfqs

what is name of the shrine at 02:00 in your map ?

[@WTF-Gaming]

Mah Eliza Shrine

[@akumachill]

Don’t forget you can also freeze them if you have the device upgraded for an easy headshot to make him flinch.

[@suukbang]

Thank You! The first one on Polymus Mountain kept killing me! I watched your video and it didn't hit me once!!!

[@WTF-Gaming]

You are welcome, I’m so glad it helped and thank you for watching!

[@patrikkondic83]

Great video! I'll try it tomorrow for sure!

[@WTF-Gaming]

Thank you… Just practice you got this!💪

[@drank20]

if you happen to miss a headshot on a silver lynel during a roar, he will slam down on the ground and great a fiery explosion. you can either parry this, or get a decent distance away from him, as this will do MASSIVE damage

[@WTF-Gaming]

Thank you for mentioning this because I didn’t… I typically will hit them before they have a chance to do this, great tip, and thank you for watching!

[@Onag100]

Wow. I waited far too long to get good at this. As far back as Warcraft, I have been a ranged/sneak fighter who preferred to grind and get over powered. But these guys don’t fall to that method. The whole concentrating on one thing at a time got this avoidant fighter to where I can do the Coliseum every Blood Moon. The need to buy and farm arrows is gone, what a relief! Mostly still applies to totk.

[@WTF-Gaming]

So glad it helped and thank you for watching!

[@daveDickinson5983]

since you're using a good 3 or 5 shot bow.. just stun lock the linel.. it's easier than doing the parry and mount.. if you miss on any one of the stun locks then you can do the parry or try to find any high ground, or updraft to boost you up into a bullet time then get an easy stun.. then just continue the stun lock... easiest way to do it... if you don't have good equipment, even with the strategy she gave, it would take a very long time and a whole lot of equipment to break..

[@WTF-Gaming]

But the point is if you mount them regardless of what weapons you are using, it will not break as long as you are mounted…you can literally use any bow that you want to stun them with, yes, the bow will take damage, (if you want to save the damage on your bow don’t take extra head shots once thrown, just parry again stun once with your bow and remount) And yes it is recommended to use a nice bow but you can use any weapon you want once mounted (it won’t break) just get good at Learning their movements being able to parry and or dodge … but mounting is the way to save your weapons…that’s it 🤷‍♀️ Rinse and repeat.. if you flurry rush, your weapons will take damage 😉

[@daveDickinson5983]

@@WTF-Gaming yah, I'm not saying it can't be done.. just that it would take a very long time. you can even do it with a branch. but, if you have a very good bow, just do a stun lock, it just makes it a lot faster.. and for most who are not as good or as skilled in doing the parries and dodges (at least I'm not) hahaha, I prefer the stun lock approach..hehe

[@zeldaconnection9945]

For beginners is it sometimes a bit easier if he charge at you, to go already sideward (with holding ZL) and than jump (X)

[@GilbertoMendoza-i6q]

I'm on the final master sword challenge and those minotaur bastards are the grim reaper. Thank you for the lessons 🙏

[@WTF-Gaming]

You are welcome, I hope it helps… you got this💪😎

[@TOTKBOTW]

You can parry when white lynel is roaring. Just wait until it gets close to slamming its weapon down on the ground, parry. No damage taken. Then you can aim for the head shot and mount it with attack follow by arrow shots to the back of the head. 😀

[@howardsternssmicrophone9332]

I thought I had a major brainstorm last night. I thought to myself "I'll kill a Lynel using ancient arrows".....The joke was on me though because if you hit them with ancient arrows they just disappear and drop nothing!

[@kaytahzadren4738]

I've watched a few videos where people come after Lynels and I'd still only get close enough for a picture of them maybe. This is the first time I actually want to go try to fight one 😂❤️

[@WTF-Gaming]

You got this 😎💪

[@hornet7372]

Thanks. Your videos are the best by far

[@WTF-Gaming]

Thank you💞 and thank you for watching!

[@Michael-hb8nq]

Which do you consider the better weapon, the ,savage Lynel sword , or savage Lynel crusher?

[@WTF-Gaming]

I like the sword because I like a one-handed weapon, I really think it’s just a personal preference

[@PaulPhoenixxx]

Great video but how do you reset the camera to a rear view when you mount a Lynel.

[@WTF-Gaming]

Hold down left or right on the left stick like you trying to look at something, it’s the same concept, Just imagine that you want to look at the back of his head and just turn your camera in that direction.😉

[@PaulPhoenixxx]

@@WTF-Gaming Thanks 🙏🏾

[@DCLeadboot]

There would have been a time when I would have thought you were crazy when you said you could beat a Lynel with a pot lid and a soup ladle... but these days, I've been getting pretty good. I killed my first White Lynel last night, exploring the snowy Gerudo Highlands! I definitely do favour the Shield Parry, shot to the face and mount-attack method - it really conserves my weapons! After considering them the bane of my BOTW existence, I've been getting to rather enjoy taking them down! 😆
