Unnatural Disaster - Tips and Strategy Guide

This challenge, though one of the hardest in the game, is fairly straightforward and relies heavily on combat techniques.

You will have to fight the Malice forms of an Igneo Talus, a Frost Talus, a Hinox, a Guardian, and a Lynel. The good thing is, you will have to fight them one-by-one which gives you a lot of breathing room.

If you are still having a hard time, here are some tips and tricks to make this challenge enjoyable!

Use Duelist-type Characters

Use characters that are good at fighting Powerful Foes one-on-one - characters like Link, Mipha, Sidon, and King Rhoam to name a few.

If you are really having trouble with survivability, we suggest using Mipha as her special-attack restores hearts!

Best Character Tier List

Always Aim For a Flurry Rush

Always try to execute Flurry Rushes by dodging at the last time! Flurry Rushes hit directly to the weak-point gauge so always try to execute it!

How to Perform a Flurry Rush

Target the Weakpoints on Top of the Taluses

Hitting the stones on top of the Taluses' heads damages the weak-point gauge directly so take time to hit them!

You can accomplish this by using aerial attacks like Link's YYYYX combo or Mipha's R!

Follow Sheikah Rune Prompts

Always try to execute runes when prompted as this opens up the enemy's weak-point gauge. Also, know the other uses of runes offensively!

Use Stasis to Extend the Weak-Point Gauge

The Stasis rune allows you to extend the hitting duration of an enemy's Weak-Point Gauge. Just use it when the Weak-Point Gauge is exposed to attacks.

Use Remote Bombs to Hit the Weak-Point Gauge Directly

Take note that the Remote Bomb rune deals damage directly to the enemy's Weak-Point Gauge. Do not hesitate to use it when the full Weak-Point Gauge is close to breaking.

Stock Up on Rods and Apples

We recommend that you stock up on elemental rods and apples before this challenge. The enemies here hit hard and they will chip away your health fast!

The enemies here are not elemental but using elemental rods will still help opening up enemies' weak-point gauge for damage!

Healing Items and How to Heal

Deflect Guardian Beams!

Like in Breath of the Wild, Guardian beams can be deflected! This can be accomplished by blocking and hitting the Y button just before the beam hits you.

This damages the Guardian's weak-point gauge and opens it up for extra damage! Take note that this can only be executed by shield-bearing characters like Link and Urbosa!

Over-Level your Character

If you are still having difficulty, we suggest over-leveling your chosen character by grinding EXP on other easier challenges or using the Military Training Camp. We suggest going 5 to 10 levels above the recommended!

How to Level Up Fast

Use Cooking

Since this challenge does not drop healing items, we suggest cooking recipes that promote survivability and increases perfect-dodge timing window:

Survivability	Damage from Enemies -% Recover Health Every 10 Seconds
Perfect-Dodge Timing Window	Perfect-Dodge Timing Window +%

Set the Difficulty to Easy

If you are really stuck and at the end of your wits, we suggest setting the difficulty mode to Easy. Enemies are easier to defeat and they do not hit that hard in this difficulty so the problem with the time constraint and survivability may be solved.

Of course, you can always change the difficulty back afterward!
