♦ Rules ♦


1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.


2. Mark Spoilers

It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Breath of the Wild) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.


3. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.


4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.


5. Provide Sources

If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)


6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

Yall are fighting them? I still mostly run away just because of how annoying the fight is. The drops aren't great anyway.

Arrow with bomb flowers attached! They're super effective

Also the dazzlefruit to blind it works really well!

If you run out of arrows, and throw bombs, they will fly up from the updraft of the previous bomb. To avoid this, get closer and aim precisely at the closest gloom arm.

My tactic, too…but I first switch to my Lynel x5 bow. Makes pretty quick work of them.

Get up high, toss Dazzlefruit, crit they eyes while they’re recovering from the dazzlefruit. Dazzlefruit is also great against gibdo.

Get up high if you can, and just bombard them with bomb arrows.

I saw a player freeze one was embarrassed I didn't think of it. Now ice and bomb arrows. I also put on the depths armour set while doing it.

Having the sage avatars out is helpful, they contribute damage and distract the hands, giving you more space to move and attack

Arrows + eyeballs, or just aim. Much easier once you get better bows.
