Red-Maned Lynel

Maren's Tip

Every enemy type has a weakness. Fire enemies melt with ice, ice enemies with fire. Gibdos are vulnerable to fire and lightning — stock those arrows!

Description

A centaur-like beast found in Hyrule Field, Akkala Highlands, and Lanayru Road — even this weakest Lynel variant is a formidable combat challenge. It uses three distinct attack patterns: charging rushes, fireball barrages, and ground shockwave slams. Shoot its face with an arrow to stun, then mount for free attacks that consume no weapon durability. Drops Lynel Saber Horn, Mace Horn, Hoof, and Guts — valuable early Fuse materials.

Weakness

Headshots to stun, mount and strike, flurry rush
