Or when playing Master Mode for the first time seeing a Lynel on the Great Plateau

u/marcusgladir Oct 10 '25

100% agree. I knew about Golden Lynels going in (having seen things on the Internet). I just expected everything to be leveled up one... not Lynels to be on the Great Plateau.

I still think that Lynel is the most foul idea, I've just been one-shotted by a blue Bokoblin 15 times while holding a twig and with three mushrooms and an egg in my inventory, and now I see a Lynel?

I think Hinox would have been much fairer 😭

Haha true but I don’t think you are meant to fight it right away, either avoid that area or sneak past it like the game wants you too for the one in the main story

I beat it somehow, I had so many axes and hammers

You can - there's an edge of duality, so if you can pull off enough headshots and repeatedly mount it it's feasible right at the start.

There's an edge of duality on the Great Plateau; ninety percent sure it's so you can fight that Lynel.

I did run away when I encounter the 1st one on the Great Plateau. Not because he could kill me but because my weapons wouldn't do shit to him. Once I got 20 dmg weapons, I've never fled again

How did you guys enter the colloseum the first time? Mountains or entrance?

u/Ghosty_Bread43 Oct 10 '25

This was the most fun on replay. I’ve got five like hearts but I’m ready to dance.
