Critical Hit does Critical Damage on the last hit of a combo. Critical Damage is a 2x multiplier. However, your weapon will lose durability since combos are still normal attacks. So the Royal Guard Greatsword with Silver Lynel Saber Horn (the 194 weapon) would break first before the Crit.
So the +10 Atk is better.
Also, by using some glitches, you could throw critical hit on an unbreakable master sword with silver lynel saber horn to have a sword that does 85 +85 +85 + 170 damage in 1 combo. (425 total damage)
This is better than +10 atk, as the crit is basically 5 attacks in 4 hits, but +10 atk only gives 40 extra damage in 4 hits. (380 total damage)
Basically, +10 ATK is better for the royal guard weapons, since you'd use them on the lynel's back, not in a combo.
But in other cases, Critical hit is better
EDIT: Since the unbreakable master sword is... unbreakable, it can't actually get any modifiers, since it can't be damage
You can take out the armor off of enemies with arrows if you fuse the arrows with smashing materials such as like like stones or the mace horns or stalnox horns. With a multi shot bow, that sends out multi fused smash arrows!
I was able to get a power 208 weapon with the same 2 things
Idk if anyone will see this or if this helps anyone but here you go. You can actually get a *slightly* more powerful version of the same weapon. All you need is a pristine version of the royal guard claymore which does 46 damage.
So 46 + 10 (Gold Upgrade) = 56
56 + 55 = 110(Silver Lynel Saber Horn)
111 x 2 = 222 (Breaking Point)
222 x 2 = 444! (Final Hit Before Breaking)
I don’t have the evil spirit armour unlocked yet but when I do, I’ll do the Bone Prof. weapon
Edit: Wait, nvm lol 😂
@@azcatec. pristine does 39 instead of 32.
+10 is 49.
Throw on Colgera Jaw, strongest bone in the game at 36, that's 85.
Multiply by 1.8 for bone prof, that's 153
Multiply by 1.5 for Atk Up 3, that's 230
Multiply by 2 for Low Durability, that's 460
Multiply by 2 for Breaking Hit, that's 920.
If you break it on a weakspot, that's Critical Damage, doing another 2x, making it 1840
A new game must be like a fresh adhd medication prescription for Austin, just multiple videos daily, high quality, well research, unmatched. Love the work!
Damn for real
Lol such a weird simile lol
@CalamityCosmo I have adhd, it's the first thing I thought of when I found this channel lol. Take the medication and you'll actually be able to keep up with the details you always wish you could
he is a grinder for sure
Gotta be first! I like it, he’s quick at handling the topics he knows people wanna see
one thing to mention, is that the silver bokoblins and construct 4s that Austin is finding, are spawning cause of his current game progression and hidden game level. same with the level of weapons that are being picked up. i highly suggest to Austin that he covers the hidden game level mechanic for new player to the franchise.
I thought it was about time to explain it as well czcams.com/video/jQrsv__ObC4/video.html
Given that u can easily find silvers and armoured enemies, I'm starting to think that master mode is gonna have a level or 2 beyond gold...
@@AustinJohnPlays Based
That part of the game does bother me at times when it comes to upgrade quests. I got one set to level 4 (flamebreaker) and used that for the majority of the game. When I started upgrading other armor, they required blue and red moblin and lizaflos horns, which became extremely rare since I was so far that many enemies were silver. I hate that because finding lower level enemies became so damn hard for me at late game 😅
@Austin John Plays I thought you were a bot lol
If you want strong fuse items without taking down super strong monsters, I recommend helping fix lurelin village. If you grab some roasted porgys from near a campfire in the village, you can give them to the treasure shop guy to play for free, so you get enough for all three items. It can have good items like black lynel mace and saber horns. I really recommend it.
Wait… theres no black lynels
black lynels dont exist
when i said black lynels I meant white maned lynels. Using the word black as stating is is of the third weakest quality
@@allthegarlicbread4008 ok
@@microwavedpizza white maned lynels are just a fancy name for black lynels,they fill the same role
watching this guy guide the viewer through tough stuff like this and having it feel like he's your dad holding your hand and guiding you through it all just feels so cozy, thanks austin for the video :)
As a teacher myself, I have to say game recognize game. Austin effortlessly delivers the content with the tone and demeanor of a professional educator and churns these videos out with the quickness.
That’s so true, I’m still a student and have just thought of Austin ss my cool video game teacher for like a year now 😂
@Eric Armann, I also like the way he takes people through the process step by step without being patronizing or condescending to his viewers.
He’s just talking about something he loves. Everyone does that to some degree
I was an instructor at boot camp. Naval Station Great Lakes. And I agree.
@@IvanskiYakinovski - A Lotta people don't know how to communicate. Or do so effectively.
I've put in hundreds of hours in BOTW, but I always avoided lynels because I'm not the best when it comes to combat. I think for TOTK, I'm going to practice with your tips and actually give lynels a try. Big thank you always! I watch all of your content, but your Zelda coverage is my favorite!
Eventually silver lynels become easier than black bokoblins
So while you start demolishing like 5 silver lynels in a row no hits
You get destroyed by black bokoblins
Dude same! I fought a select couple low level lynels cause I could freeze them and use bombs. Without the ability to create bombs and without the ability to freeze enemies this game is already double hard how the hell am I gonna get good at lynels hahaha practice makes perfect but ivm for see a lot of practice coming up lol
@@UnwrittenSpade fuse sapphires and they freeze 👀
@@UnwrittenSpade fuse sapphires, ice fruit or ice chuchu jellies to arrows (or even just throw them!) to freeze them. i just spam them with this haha
would absolutely reccomend, once you start getting real good at combat, it gets really fun, i spent like 200 hours alone just fighting lynels and everything else i could find in botw
I like fusing a might zonaite sword with a flux construct 3 core. It’s one of, if not the best weapon for killing taluses, and it works as a hammer, meaning I don’t need to waste an inventory slot on a bad weapon
I like to fuse the item you get after defeating the marbled gohma in the depths to a pristine cobble breaker (I think it's called like that).
It does 58 damage.
I love how you are actually PLAYING the game and giving us immersive ways to get stronger weapons and not using duplication glitches or bugged weapons. Congratulations on the video mate!
If you like swords better than claymores, a gerudo scimitar gives an attached item buff in power at the cost of the added durability. A gerudo scimitar fused with a silver lynel saber horn makes 122.
You or anyone know where to find a reliable source of them? (The scimitars)
@@c_lucks3707 there’s a long side quest at Gerudo town that will lead you to the Gerudo Sanctuary. You find the whole Gerudo arsenal there. All the weapons respawn after a blood moon.
It has to do with 8 heroines, you can find the lady who gives it to you in the shelter, she’s looking at an orb.
@c_lucks Yeah what he said. Also note that it works for the gerudo spear as well.
Yeah I have a Gerudo Claymore that’s from the depths plus a silver lynel saber horn that does 144 base damage, plus the buff from the barbarian set just makes it nuts
you also can use the scimitar of the seven, basically any gerudo weapon works
What I've learned is that when you fuse a weapon with another weapon, the weapon on the tip is destroyed first. So early game I used a moblin arm and fused weapons on it for the purpose of durability. So my power 28 weapon that would last maybe 5 hits going to a 30+ weapon with much higher durability. When the tip broke I would just fuse a random weapon to it. This little trick kept me going through most of the early game. This only works with weapons being fused onto weapons.
While this does extend the durability, the source weapon does still take damage when you hit something with it. So it makes the weapon last longer, but it will still eventually break.
iirc bone weapons break indepentdently of the weapon they are stuck onto
@@legithuman5486
No, they can both break at the same time, it's just that the bones ate brittle as hell
Its a bad technique cuz if they break midfight early game u wont have many differnet weapons so u will need to run away and fuse another bone to ur weapon or just immediatly fuse a bone and hope the enemy doesnt kill u
Something I just learned is when you fuse an item onto your arrows with a multi shot bow, the item is attached to every arrow shot. This only uses up one of your items. So attaching something like a Gibdo bone to your arrow should multiply your attack output with arrows. So even if you have a three shot 10 attack bow, you would be doing 150 points of damage (10 from the bow and 40 per arrow) every time you fire it.
5 shot bows and gibdo bones work great for fused arrows
@@zechariahgranger1035 3 shot the level 3 constructs, makes them super easy to deal with when you fly in on them
You can also get slighty higher damage by getting the pristine soldiers royal claymore becuase the one he used and most people used to get the 194 was the decayed version, you must first obtain the decayed version, break it, then find a soldier ghost in the depths holding it, yes this will take some time but will probably be worth it, hope this helps😁👍
Royal guard claymore is harder to get. Try to use Royal guard sword (pristine) version can be found in Northwest gerudo easily in multiple spawns. It’s a little bit less powerful than the claymore but can still beat lynels easily with attack buff food and radiant armor to increase attack w molduga jaw.
What’s the new damage number with the pristine version?
@@wrightgaming5173 it's over 200 maybe like 204 or 214 I'm not sure
@@wrightgaming5173 unless the pristine doesn't have the 2x damage for the last 3 hits then it's not worth it
@@aidenchapman pristine Royal guard sword 144 dmg compares to Royal guard claymore 162. Double x double with 1 hit before breaking. Plus food buff and wearing radiant armor set for bone prof attack. You can kill first lynel w 2 hits, 3-6 for the latter one. easy peasy.. lemon squeezy. Lol
An easy way to get crits on any enemy is to fuse the zonal wing to a shield and when you shield surf with it, even on flat ground, you can get a bullet time
I desperately need this. I have insane joycon drift on all controllers, the L and R buttons also dont really work. And its impossible to hit anything without bullet time. Gyro aiming somewhat makes it more managable.
@@D3sdinovasend them into Nintendo they fix them for free
@@D3sdinova If you're somewhat savvy with taking electronics apart, getting repair kits is a relatively inexpensive option. A kit with screwdrivers and a replacement joystick is $20, and you can buy more joysticks as cheap as ~$3 each if you buy them in bulk. Though, if you're not careful you may break more than you fix.
WHAT
@@D3sdinova There are some hall effect controllers for the switch and replacement sticks which don't drift over time. Some recommendations are the gulikit hall effect sticks for joycons and the kingkong 2 pro controller or 8bitdo ultimate controller
Always a W when Austin John uploads
Yeah
FACTS
truth
Same, I’d be lost without him on the 1st few days.
I can’t do it without him I swear he’s the GOAT
Also, if you want a backup weapon that's not about to break, you can use a Gloom Sword. It doesn't give gloom damage while doing the ride attacks on a Lynel.
It also doesn't do gloom damage if you fuse it to another weapon
@@jadonlimoges1830 true but it might break halfway through using it
@supremechaosbeing2696 but it doesn't wear the durability when on the back of the lynel. So it's a good option to fuse it to another weapons for the boosted damage and gloom damage.
I would prefer using the gloom club for the 50 damage.
Your videos are truly the best! I have been following your farming strategy for the mobs in the depths for crystallized charges, and I’m following along with the lynel farming. I love that you helped out your IRL friend with lynels, too! All around helpful, as always!
I remember in BotW I avoided Lynels for the longest time since they were intimidating to me, but one day I just kinda started to figure out my own way of killing them, which pretty much ended up being this exact same method, and I was eventually able to kill the silver Lynels relatively easy, and then Master Mode came around, which made me want to do it all again to see how tough the gold ones were. I'm hoping we get Master Mode DLC for this game so I can farm gold ones again lol
what ive been using is the lightscale trident + my highest level monster part + sidon
lightscale trident has the same passive as other zora weapons, where touching water applies a x2 buff to total damage for around 15s, combo that with something like a silver lynel horn and you get 150+ damage, as long as you’ve touched water
and, sidon’s buff applies water to you on a low cooldown, meaning you get a high damage, high uptime, high durability weapon
update: it seems that the lightscale trident cannot be repaired by rock octoroks, this strat isnt as good as i thought, big rip
How do you get the light scale trident
@@thefrogguy23
beat the zora dungeon and talk to the blacksmith behind the general shop, he’ll let you know what materials you need to craft it
You don't actually have to use Sidon's power just throw splash fruit or regular chuchi jelly on the ground next to you and it applies the buff
Actually, with the dupe glitch, this is a freaking incredible strat
Lightscale trident is repairable, fuse it into a regular weapon, then the octopus will take it.
I absolutely love your content man. So knowledgeable and forthright with the info! A total pleasure to watch and absorb. Thanks!
Another Advice here for everyone: I recommend using Royal Claymore with the Silver Lynel Mace Horn instead of the Iron Ball as it will destroy armor in pretty much one hit
, its a bit more effective and the Flurry rush dmg is a plus.
And the silver lynel Mace horn is the antler looking ones
Got a good tip for making comparably strong weapons, like 150ish attack, but you can use anywhere: (mechanical spoilers ahead) with the Sage of Water ability you can have a lot of uptime on being "wet" weilding a Zora weapon. If you make a Lightscale Trident, which you can replace, and throw on a powerful fuse material, you can have a massively powerful weapon with high durability. Just made one that has 146 attack when wet, using only the 2nd best Lynel horn material (used my only saber horn on the lynel slaying sword in the video)
Yeah I like this idea, only issue is trying to catch Sidon in the midst of combat. I've found it easier to just throw something like a Chuchu Jelly at my feet-
@@TheSerperior if you whistle during combat, any Sages present will rally around you. That will make Sidon easier to reach to activate his power.
@@erikledune9292 wouldn't that bring all of them to you though?
@@TheSerperior yes but it's easier than chasing them all over the battlefield. So if you only have Sidon out, he'll be right at your side so you can hit him up for his bubble again.
@@erikledune9292 fair enough
You sir are a battle master! I usually don't have too much trouble taking down Lynels, but this guide really helps you obliterate them! Cheers man
For the Lynels weapons you can use a pristine Royal Guards Claymore to get a power of 208 (you still need the attack up 10 for that number)
so find one in the depths and octorok tumble it?
Finally someone notices, been using this for a while
Secretly becomes 416 if on actual last hit before breaking. You get the hidden double bonus on all weapons
It’s a mystery how this man has time to play video games and upload so many videos so fast
It helps that this is his job
He totally deserves it tho, the grind is real
Uh he Plays, it's in the title.
I love the fuse ability. Being able to have so much freedom in this game really takes things to the next level
It saves space too.. I like the gloom swords fused to a gurodo spear so I'll farm the hands and end up with 3 slots holding 6 swords. Store at links house and break down as needed... man this freaking game...
You’re def. My favorite for totk tips. You explain everything so well and make it easy to understand. Sometimes video tutorials can be difficult to follow along with especially with more complicated things but you explain everything perfectly. Thank you. My totk skills have vastly improved. Thanks!
All of your guides are awesome! I appreciate how you break down your content! It really helps! Cheers!
If you have at least a wheel and a half of stamina, you can actually glide to where you fought gannon in botw from lookout landing tower. There are a bunch of great weapons in that room that respawn
Totk champions tunic is under the throne. Just light the two torches in front of it.
Y’all mean the throne room?
@verymotivated7193 Yup. Not everyone is such a hardcore gamer to know the name, so that's why I said it like I did.
@@johnkiggs108 you don't need to be a hardcore gamer to know a room with a throne in it is called "Throne Room" but if it had a special name then ya.
Sanctum
Just a heads-up, if you need to damage your Royal Guard's Greatsword, you dont have to risk attacking things and potentially breaking it, you can do a charge attack in a safe place for just a moment and then release. This will slam the sword into the ground damaging it. You can do this until you get the indicator that its about to break. Hope this helps ❤️
or just jump attack
@@TheChannelCraft yeah
Thanks for all of the guides you’re making, you’re amazing!
There are few almost 45 minute tutorial videos that I can sit through and enjoy the entire time. Love your content!
Your explanation of the Lynel fights was so helpful. Once I started incorporating your methods, I found success. I found that patience is the key when fighting these baddies. Take your time, don't be greedy and use the solid openings to ensure a proper stun and mount. Keese eyes were super helpful in getting those headshots with much worry. That was a great tip!
I love all your videos thank you so much for all the helpful tips and all the fun commentary as well. I can’t wait for more content.
This is one of best, most comprehensive TOTK vids I’ve seen. Thanks a lot for being so thorough.
Literally the best yt channel I’ve ever found, you are so thorough and are able to explain things clearly. Thank you!
If you fuse a Zonai Wing Device onto your shield, you shield surf jump gets a substantial height boost and is enough you can jump straight into bullet time arrows from a standing postion. Its a fairly short bullet time (maybe 2-3 seconds to aim), but with practice its plenty to reliably just pop off headshots without the need to do shield parries, lets you kill enemies WAY faster.
It’s also good for jumping over obstacles and spikes and fun for shield surfing :)
i actually found something really helpful about the sandstorm in the desert if you out a marker where you want to go then swap your map to a different height on the purah pad it swaps your minimap to that height and it will show you the directions of your markers so you dont get lost in the storm just wanted to share this really nice tip for the desert for anyone who might have issues with getting lost in the desert storms
Lol austin john shared this exact tip in his video talking about upgrading one of the armors when he was telling where to find electric keese wings. Forget the exact video but yeah good tip
@@dollenrm I watched the video I cant quite remember which video it is but i don't think he mentioned that your minimap which change to what layer you were looking at it was more it would show where you are while in the storm based off where your cursor was in the depths rather then being able to see which direction you were going in the storms
That is a great tip! I haven't been to the desert yet, so I'll keep this in mind for when I do.
normally i would say what does this have to do with the video but good tip austin said it too tho
I played alongside the Lyonel ladder with Austin for this and it felt like a big brother moment, being the oldest sibling in my own family, I had a lot of fun, my fav video to date
Thank you so much for this video and all of your Tears of the Kingdom videos! Having started playing TotK a couple of months ago, I've watched almost all of your videos on it. They've all been super helpful. Some I've watched for entertainment while others I've watched for guidance. This video in particular allowed me to farm Lynels like they were nothing. I was so happy to upgrade the Barbarian armor up to 4 stars. It's so satisfying to farm Lynels and use their parts to make strong weapons. Keep up the awesome work!
Bro I'm not even a quarter through the game and my man in already done plus all of this, on a absolute grind
the way you're so kind and encouraging during the explanation of how to take on lynels was so nice 🥺 i never fought one in botw (not successfully anyway) because of anxiety over failing. i'm pretty decent at combat, i have good reaction time and i'm good at making split second decisions in battle. but with something like a lynel that has such a specific process otherwise you die in one hit, i get scared of messing it up for some reason. and then i get in my head while doing it and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy haha
i dont think i'll be taking on lynels any time soon still, but when i'm late game looking for something to do i'll definitely try it! and i'll put on this video to give me encouragement.
i fought them in botw but it was like 4 regulars 1 blue with my over 215 hours of play time
Thank you so much for this, and all your videos. Following these tips I actually managed to beat several lynels and get Majora’s Mask, and I really didn’t think I’d be able to do it.
This was such a good video! Just beat the Coliseum and now I've gone from fearing Lynels to being addicted to fighting them :D
My best friend would make fun of me because with BOTW I’d go Lynel hunting after a bloodmoon. I had to get revenge for the first Lynel that found me and eviscerated me. I’ve killed a few in TOTK but MAN are they harder with armor!
don't use Critical Hit on those Lynel killers - Critical Hit deals double damage, yes, but only on the final hit of the normal attack combo, meaning flurry rushes, charge attacks, etc, don't give you the boost. Either way, absolutely awesome video, I love your content, Austin John, you are truly a blessing for this community, we need more people like you.
Your videos are generally fun, but wow, I am so appreciative for the work and time you put in to make these available, especially the speed at which you release them. Thank you
Austin putting out videos at a breakneck pace and they are all quality. Idk how this is possible. For that we all thank you.
I was very bad dodging and parrying but your suggestion, and showing, that we should just practice on a lynel trying until we got confident helped me get over the nervousness of fighting Lynels. I also followed your armor guide which was helpful and happily spoiler free since i am early in the game.
I think the best weapon to do this with Urbosa's scimitar since it have high durability and the bonus effect of making fuse weapons stronger. You end up with a 138 attack one handed weapon and it's not that hard to get.
Durability isn't a problem tho
@@arcticfluffyfoxy i think he meant for other monsters
@@arcticfluffyfoxy With this weapon you are not limited to only using it against Lynels
@@nnoas971 Oh yeah that makes sense with the direction the video went I completely forgot
For those who want to use a weapon on this tier of powerful for more than just Lynels, the Zora weapons have the exact same double damage perk, but for when you are wet. This means you can simply throw a chuchu jelly at your feet and you can reach ~140 attack using a zora sword w/ a silver lynel horn.
you can also just use the sage of water to make you wet
You also get wet by using Sidon's ability
Also fusing a chuchu jelly to your shield
@@KaitouKaiju Sidon definitely makes me wet
I just want to say thank you so much for all the help. You’ve helped my journey with tears of the kingdom all the way from the start❤!
Excellent guide as always and made me test some builds. I got a Pristine Royal Guard’s Claymore with Attack Up +10, damaged it like you said and fused a Silver Lynel Saber Horn to it. That got me a 208 weapon to kill lynel! (98+110 thanks to the 2x). I also have a 115 dmg Gerudo Scimitar+White-Maned Lynel Saber Horn (I got tired of just fusing Silver Lynel horns to everything and staring at an inventory of katanas).
As someone who recently just got back into video games and Zelda, I have gotten pretty good taking out normal enemies, but try to avoid lynels. Now, finishing up BOTW, I come across this video and it makes me feel more confident trying to take on a lynel and interested in getting this new game. Thank you, and will continue watching your videos.
I've watched a lot of ur videos and appreciate them but this one really takes the cake. The way you described everything was awesome and it was easy to not only understand but it gives a great insight to how this is played and how a player would chose a certain weapon over others when going into battle. Great job. 👍
Impressive how dedicated you're. Made my experience with this game even better
Went through this exactly and did this 100%. Absolutely game changing
I've been farming Lynels since the early days of BotW but I never thought of parrying them because I was awful at it, so I just headshot them when they were running at me and often took damage if I missed. I tried your method yesterday and I have to say, the timing is surprisingly lenient! Easily farmed the Coliseum ones without taking damage. Thank you for the tips!
When he's charging up fire breath is the easiest time to headshot them, and doesn't require any special timing, plus he's not moving
Thanks again Austin, loving these upload guides. I love that Zelda is also now a game where “get good” is prominent
"It's like dark souls!"
@@kstreet7438 *hollow knight has entered the chat*
I have watched hundreds of videos on Totk. Austin john is a step above those. This was the best video so far…..big props to Austin john on being best video game vlogger in the business! 300 + hours in game and still finding new content.
Yippee! With this, looking forward to taking on that first basic lynel. Really great instruction!
What an amazing video, going step by step from beginner to expert level. Thank you for always publishing high quality videos like these.
Always pumping out these videos with good quality and this fast! Keep it up!
for people who dont know, you can focus on a enemy while shooting to help you target the object. Sometimes it will help with headshots on lynels too.
this has to be one of the best guide videos ive seen so far, you explained it step by step AND gave bonus infos with all the spawns and the tipp with the stables and such
insane video keep it going man
Thank you Austin.,.. i really appreciate this video. Learned alot from you with these tips in TOTK... 🙏❤️ looking forward to play with this when im ready...
I just wanna thank you dude. In BotW I didn't really explore or properly learn how to fight Lynels. Watching this video made it incredibly easy to learn and I beat the colosseum in one go (although I didn't have a good armor smashing weapon so I just unleashed a massive flurry of bomb flowers lol) I didn't die and only had to heal twice because I totally misread the attacks of that final Lynel.
A note for some of ya, if you want a pretty powerful weapon, not as strong as the royal knights weapons, use gurudo(sp?) weapons, they double the fuse power of anything fused to them. This also includes Urbosa's sword that you can have made (it doesn't say it in the sword's description, but it does work and with the silver lynel horn it's like 128 or 138, somewhere around there, the normal gurudo scimitar is 10 or 20 points less).
it's spelled gerudo. You were close! :)

YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I am SO going to recommend you for advice if anyone ever needs useful info for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about this game!!!
i love how much effort you put into giving us info
I love that TOTK made farming enemies have more use.
In BOTW, sure you'd get their weapons, but then you were shoe-horned into using only those weapons. With TOTK's fuse mechanic, you can apply weapon heads/blades/monster parts to the weapon of your choosing (2h, 1h, spear). When you also consider the different effects of different weapon types, and the upgrades you can get from octorocks, and you've got a plethora of options.
I only wish they did a little more with the bows.
Attaching materials to arrows:
@@Owl_SQ literally bare minimum, doesn’t do much. Bows themselves have no fuse feature.
@@HawksBeast the bows literally don't need a fuse feature
@@aguy481
They don’t need a fuse feature but it would be cool if they did. While it wouldn’t exactly add damage to the bow, perhaps fusing certain items could add range, durability, etc.
Wow, dude. Thank you so much for the detail you put into explaining everything. Great video.
The stick tip with the balloon and flame emitter is so clever. Great work Austin!
If you’re having trouble finding the enemies in the video, it may be tied to how many hearts you have. I got my 12th one and stronger enemies started appearing. Couldn’t find a Captain IV Construct until my 12th Heart. I even noticed Silver enemies appearing as well. I’ve only done one Temple btw, so, it’s def not tied to story progression.
It's not tied to story profession. But if it's like Botw (which I'm guessing it is) it's tied to a hidden points total that killing enemies adds to. So the more you kill the tougher things get. That's also how weapon modifiers start appearing.
@@nathanking9653 the hidden points total from BoTW also increased dramatically when completing divine beasts, I suspect there's a similar system with the temples in ToTK
It's definitely not health/stamina upgrades...just kill things, and almost certainly temples as well. With only 6 or 7 hearts (and no stamina upgrades) I started seeing silver enemies everywhere.
it is tied to enemy kills. theres a secret levelling system.
Yep 17 hearts right here and no story progression outside of the tutorial island and getting the glider, pretty sure i didn't even saw a Zora yet and silver enemies are in pretty much every monster camp. So definitely not tied to story progression.
Thank you for this guide. Was wondering how to get powerful weapons in this game and find Lynel locations (In BOTW, farming Lynel parts was always a thing for me due to their weapons)
This is my first legend of Zelda game, and I am absolutely addicted. And your videos have helped me a ton.
Amazing videos and love all you do. Just a PSA on top of the video(after playing around for myself) For the weapons you could break the RG claymore and then go to the depths and find a Prestine version of the RG claymore and that has even more damage. And do all the same things after you get the better RG claymore. You will have a damage shown of 208(with the double damage almost breaking and attack up 10) but you can do double double damage if you get the claymore down to its last hit. Then you will be doing 416 damage. You can then kill reds with 3 hits on the back,blues with 4 or 5, whites in 5 or 6 and silver in 1 whole ride and a few head shots. Hope this helped someone. Keep up the amazing work Austin
Bro AJP is legit the goat. He’s been here for so long giving us quality videos every single upload. 🐐
I started out with a blue lynel because it was the first one I found. Took me about a half an hour to get used to its attack pattern but I didn't know about the no durability while mounted thing. I would just go to hyrule castle and grab black lizalfo horns since they do pretty good damage and they are easy to kill.
Thank you for all your work. You've made me not fear Lynels. Keep up the great work!
@5:05 THANK YOU! I have been looking for that FOR AGES.
austin, it's your time to shine again. The first time was botw, I remember watching you every day because I didn't understand the game lol. You are AMAZING i can put it in words of how amazing you are. I love you dude I hope you never stop making videos. :) ❤
I know there is already like 500 guides on this, but to make the Lynel weapon better one could: Use a Molduga Jaw and Evil Spirit armor, a pristine claymore, as well as the attack up enchantment and Mighty Simmered Fruit (Five Bananas). With this you can literally one cycle a sliver Lynel.
What does the evil spirit armor do doesn’t it just give you stealth?
@@SiFi_865WON No, in a full set it gives Stal disguise and an effect called Bone Proficiency, which gives a x1.8 damage buff to bone weapons. (Molduga Jaw is the best bone because Colgera Jaw doesn't count)
I appreciate this video,
I found it helpful.
Thank you AustinJohn. 💚
Thanks for all your guides. I love the cut sceen after the credits. It plays after The End
A more consistent way I've pulled out my shield after shooting the bow is just equipping a sword or one handed weapon. This is because my strongest weapons also tended to be spears and equipping a single handed weapon gave me time to be in the paused menu and think a little bit. Besides that, lynels are very easy when you get the new patterns. I beat a black one like 2 hours after starting while on 4 hearts. Took a few tries, but I did do it.
@15:36 The number of times you can attack while mounted seems to be on a "cooldown". If it's the only thing you do, you'll get 6-7 the first time then 3 for every one after. If you go a few attack cycles without getting on his back, you'll gain back attacks again. So the devs nerfed the meta of hopping on his back to encourage mixing flurry rushes with stun locking the lynel. (of course, use something else other than the lynel killing weapon for the flurry rush, like a royal broadsword combined with a white lynel horn)
I must thank you for your Lynel tips!
I’m happy I found this! Never realized the Zonite forge island is so high up. But my weapons in there were not orange/ red like yours. Mine were the basic forms
PRO TIP: you can have your champion/spirits kill the lynel for you.
Lure the lynel to the entrance but be careful to not activate the gate and guide them outside and run back in, the gate should close in between you both, leaving link trapped inside with the lynel outside. You can then let your champs cheese him out till the lynel is dead while you avoid the lynels arrows that he’s shooting.
Managed to get my mask today doing this lol
doesn't the gate close before the lynels come in?
like, the fight doesn't start until you step into a certain spot in the colosseum and the gate shuts right before the lynel gates open
so idk what you mean by this
@@vietdragon5174 you can ascend out.
This sounds like it would take more time and effort than actually killing all the Lynels yourself
just a side note; you can just use the Lookout Landings tower to launch yourself and glide over to the castle if you have enough stamina. You're launched high enough to reach the top of the castle.
The Glide armor set you obtain from the 3 diving challenges also assists with that, letting you save on stamina until you are low enough to where you need to swap to paraglider to slow your descent.
Love the videos as always Austin! Keep it up!
This video is the bomb, dude..... has helped so much!
A few days ago I thought I would t get anywhere near being able to kill labels but now just an hour or two after trying this out I can decently easily take down White Maned Lynels! Thanks Austin!
So.. i went to try to get the mighty zonaite weapons, but they were all regular versions of it. Any idea how to make the mighty versions of them spawn?
same for me, did you find anything?
Thanks you, detailed and very informative .. its helped me out no end!
For getting to the Forge Sky Island, I would recommend using the floating platform and the dozen or so rockets that are on the North Necluda Island. It gives you enough to just be able to glide to the Forge Island!
Of course, there's also a chance you want a weapon that WON'T break in 2 hits if used against anything other than a Lynel. If you've played through the story you probably know where this is going: Gerudo weapons.
They all have a benefit that means they don't get more durability from fusing, but they gain double the fuse damage bonus. I don't know how they compare in terms of lifetime damage, but they make for great boss-shredders.
the royal halberd is also an extremely effective dps weapon especially when fused
