Become a master of Zelda’s Tears of the Kingdom by learning to obtain Captain Construct Horns. Our guide will show you how to slay these tricky foes and claim their powerful horns. Having these in the back pocket can prove a big boon later in the game; the sharp, blade-like horns can be seamlessly integrated with most melee weapons, even the lowly stick, elevating their potency and transforming them into a weapon of formidable power. Here’s how to get Captain Construct Horns in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
Getting Captain Construct Horns in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Acquiring the esteemed Captain Construct Horns in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a breeze. Simply vanquish those robotic fiends known as Captain Constructs, who conveniently pop up in nearly every important area of the Sky Islands you explore.
If you chance upon a Captain Construct or two, don’t worry. To beat them in combat, you’ll just have to send some arrows their way or hit them with your hardest weapons. Look around your environment and see if there’s anything you can fuse with your weapons, like Fire Emitters. It would be best if you used tactics such as flinging weapons from a safe distance or perhaps utilizing the art of stealth to creep up on your unsuspecting foes.
Still, you’ll need to be careful. Captain Constructs are much smarter than their weaker counterparts, Soldier Constructs. They can also fuse their weapons with the devices available in the environment. We had one roast us with a Fire Emitter!
Though these fellows should be an easy challenge, you’ll be fine as long as you’re quick on your feet. It’ll only take a few swift swipes of your weapon and they’ll come tumbling down. Make sure you parry and flurry flush your way to victory whenever possible during your encounters with Captain Constructs.
When you take them down, you’ll get Captain Construct Horns, as well as other rewards. They are much longer — and arguably cooler — than regular Soldier Construct Horns. And note that this item is always dropped in unison with their destruction, rendering them effortless to accumulate, especially considering these constructs tend to operate in packs of 1-2 units.
