How to Beat the Blue-Maned Lynel

Tips and Strategies
Mount the Blue-Maned Lynel Use Flurry Rush Aim For Its Head Summon Sages

Mount the Blue-Maned Lynel

One of the recommended ways to beat a Blue-Maned Lynel is to sneakily mount it from behind and unleash as much damage as you can. It is recommended to have the Stealth Set when employing this tactic.

Use Flurry Rush

The Blue-Maned Lynel is a ruthless and powerful foe in Tears of the Kingdom, but even this towering beast is not impervious to dodges and parries.

If given the chance, dodge its charges and attacks with the intention of using Flurry Rush. This will reduce its health by a lot.

Aim For Its Head

If you want to engage it in long range combat, try to aim for the Blue-Maned Lynel's head and shoot an arrow towards it. The Blue-Maned Lynel will be staggered for a bit, which gives you an opportunity to counterattack.

Use an Aerocuda Eyeball to increase the accuracy of your arrow shots. Additionally, you could also use a Rocket Shield to launch yourself midair and shoot arrows in bullet time to give you more time for aiming your shots.

Summon Sages

If you're struggling against Lynels, summoning all Sages can help shift the tide of the battle! The sages deal chip damage, but the main thing here is getting the Lynel's attention away from you. This gives you enough time to heal up and ride the Lynel from behind to hit it and deal massive amounts of damage.
