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 ;)

The only method i know so far is to use a rocket shield and ahoot the heads with slow motion.

Can you parry them?

Any way without rocket shields?

I fuse my arrows with eyeballs to stun each head, use a charge attack with my strongest 2-hand weapon, and dodge the other attacks. Always use 3x attack up, wear the appropriate elemental gear to nullify attacks, use the sages for extra attacks/distractions. They can be pretty easy if you pay attention to where they are and recognize their attack patterns. Like when their health gets low and they fly up high to unleash a massive attack. That takes time so you need to get up there and take out their heads before it's too late or take cover.

Edit: Also consider fusing the stone slabs. Two long ones 90 deg to each other and a corner one to make a roof that's high enough to just Ascend through. You can hide behind it to sneak up to them, use it to get bullet time, and use it for cover.

Thanks. I was thinking about trying this. I didnt realise i could autobuild non zonai parts...

Whats the cheapest one cost? Probably i cant use wood.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There are auto builds without Zonai parts at all, like particularly an instant scaffold that is perfect for fighting gleeoks. I want to say that the simplest one is 9 or 12 zonaite.

That said, I tried using it once but my timing was off and it fell down so I did the entire fight from the ground using a 3x lynel bow with keese eyeballs fused to the arrows. It wasn’t too bad at all, as it was a frost gleeok and my snowquill armor is level 3, making its attacks largely ineffective

I just put eyeballs on my arrows and shoot the heads. Uses a lot of eyeballs though.

You can do this with a boomerang too. If you do it right you can get two hits off every throw.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can use an octo baloon shield instead of spending a rocket.

You can parry the lasers but since they are continuous, you end up getting hit after the parry and you don't reflect them back.

The best damage combo once it's down is to be at 1 heart or less with a molduga jaw knight's claymore, Evil Spirit armor (Phantom Ganon) or Radiant armor (glow in the dark skeleton luchador), and attack lvl 3 food. This allows you to kill it in 1 cycle. I think the base damage of that sword is 128 displayed, the armor multiplies by 1.8 (cause the jaw is considered a bone) and the attack buff by another 1.5. This assumes the sword has the attack + modifier and is pristine.

So i tried everything yesterday includidng autobuild shields. Rockets work best...

I got it in two cycles with the weapons i had and barb armor.

Keese eye arrows and lynel / demon king bows. Takes em out real quick and kind of makes them nothing-burgers.

[–] MrMcGasion 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I farm up a bunch of keese eyeballs (shooting a bomb arrow at a cave swarm makes this easier) and use those to target the heads. If you have fire/ice eyeballs those do elemental damage against their opposite types of gleok heads. If there's an ice gleok head, you can use recall on the ice spike things during the last phase to get closer, but for the other gleoks I usually just keep trying with eyeball homing arrows until they hit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ooh. I usually use a spear when they come out. Im rarely quick enough so normlly dont get more than a few. Cant believe i didn't think of using bomb arrows. I have like a 100 to spare from scouring the deapths

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rocket shield, spring, fire + pinecone... Any way to fly. Let loose guided arrows or gibdo arrows if close enough. Two handed charge attack while down. Final phase depends on the gleeok. Lightning immunity helps on some of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

3 rubber enough? Or do i need to have each piece up to level 2...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You can get a single item with lightning immunity from a side quest

[–] Radio_717 2 points 1 year ago

I haven’t fought any yet at all. I might today that one on lake hyrule bridge is the only 9ne I know about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

So i struggled with lynels. Went on youtube and found videos of link beating lynels in his undies with 3 hearts and a pot lid shield.

Was hoping Gleoks could be beaten by some fancy parry and flurry rush timing... But looks like, i need to bullet time some how...

Wow I'm brain-fried. I thought the title said "How do you beat Glocks"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Simple. Sigs. (ducks)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've seen someone say you can bounce thier attacks back at them with a spring shield.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I used a bunch of aerocuda arrows myself
