What is the hardest enemy in Tears of the Kingdom?

Silver Lynels are generally considered the hardest overworld enemy in TotK, with 5,000+ HP and devastating attacks. Gloom-hands and the Demon King Ganondorf are the hardest boss-tier threats. Flux Construct III and King Gleeok are the most challenging non-Lynel overworld enemies.

How do you beat a Lynel in TotK?

Equip your best weapons and armor. Use bullet-time by jumping off the Lynel's back after mounting it (press Y when on its back to attack). Aim for headshots when it charges you for a stun. Flurry Rush on every perfect dodge. Use fire/ice/shock arrows for elemental advantages. A Silver Lynel can take 10+ minutes without optimal gear.

What are Gloom Hands weak to in TotK?

Gloom Hands are most vulnerable to sunlight-based attacks. Sundelion Arrow fusions work well. Light Dragon parts and white arrows also deal bonus damage. Bomb Flowers stagger them temporarily. Running or using the Recall ability to escape their grab is often the best strategy at low gear levels.

How do you defeat Flux Constructs in TotK?

Target the glowing orange cube — the core of the Flux Construct. When the construct assembles into a tower or platform form, use Ultrahand to grab and throw the orange cube away from its body to deal damage. Arrows also work on the glowing core. Flux Constructs I, II, and III increase in HP and attack patterns but the core mechanic remains the same.
