Things to Prepare Before Fighting Thunder Gleeok
Mighty Zonaite Sword	Fierce Deity Sword	Savage Lynel Bow
Gnarled Wooden Stick	Gnarled Thick Stick	Mighty Construct Bow

Thunder Gleeok Basic Info

Thunder Gleeok This three-headed monster first appeared after the Upheaval. Fighting it alone is inadvisable, as its three heads will attack you all at once.
