Breath of the Wild trauma is about to kick in because one annoying enemy is returning for the sequel. Those who played the first game might remember Lynels. These strong creatures wield massive weapons and relentlessly charge at you. While you can beat them with practice and patience, there’s still much to learn when fighting any of these foes. Since most of the old enemies are returning, knowing how to beat them is important. Some are easy, and others require a lot of strategy and experimentation. That is why today we’ve prepared a guide to tell you how to defeat Lynels in Tears of the Kingdom.
How To Defeat Lynels in Tears of the Kingdom
You must know a few things if you’re fighting any of these enemies for the first time. First, they are strong. These enemies have a lot of health and are hit like a truck. Secondly, they are fast. They can charge at you and take you down with one hit if you’re not careful. Last but not least, they follow a similar attack pattern which makes the fight somewhat easy to memorize. Now that we know all these things, this is the strategy to defeat Lynels in Tears of the Kingdom:
- Get as many hard-hitting melee weapons as you can
- Stock up on arrows and bows
- Aim for the Lynel’s head to stun it
- Once stunned, go for the kill and hit it as fast as you can
- If you are in melee range, aim for a perfect dodge to trigger a flurry of attacks
As a bonus, it is also crucial that you prepare a lot of food that’ll raise your defense. As we mentioned, one hit can take you down, and you’ll be looking at the Game Over screen quickly. To avoid that, cook as many things as possible and take them to the fight.
While the game has even harder enemies and some new bosses, these foes are hard to beat and the bane of many players who tried the first game. We wish you luck if you haven’t fought with any of them. Yet, if you are prepared, you won’t have any issues.
That’s all we have on how to defeat Lynels in Tears of the Kingdom. This game is all about preparation and careful planning, so be ready before any fight. Also, experimenting is always nice, so you can use Link’s new abilities to get an edge in combat.
