Phase 1
Find High Ground
The first thing to do when fighting Thunder Gleeok is to find high ground, or somewhere you can jump off and easily target its heads with arrows. Link's Ascend skill will come in handy for reaching high places.
Ascend Guide: How to Pass Through Ceilings
Hit All Three Heads
Draw your bow in mid-air, then disable all three of Thunder Gleeok's heads in one go. This will stun Gleeok, making it fall to the ground.
Melee the Heads When Stunned
Hit its heads with melee attacks when the Thunder Gleeok has been stunned. Keep on attacking until it begins to recover. Then, back off or risk getting hit with its wing and thunder attacks.
Phase 2
Ride Lightning Updrafts When Gleeok Flies High
When Thunder Gleeok's HP gets low enough, it will fly up into the sky, making it unreachable. Then, it will cast thunderbolts down on you. The thunder will leave behind wind updrafts, which you can ride up with your

High-Damage Weapons
| 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
|
Having these weapons will help you inflict massive damage on the Thunder Gleeok during your battle. If you do not have any of these, you can use early game weapons like the Dusk Bow and Steel Lizal Bow which you can get in the Hyrule Castle.
Keep in mind that all Thunder Gleeok fights will force a thunderstorm. This makes it dangerous to use any metal-based weapons or shields as it increases your chances of getting hit by lightning. It is recommended to use Zonai Weapons instead or any wood-based weapons when fighting Thunder Gleeok.
Arrows
As the battle against Thunder Gleeok heavily relies on bows, it is recommended to stock up on arrows before fighting it. You can do this by buying arrows from Beedle near stables or from towns and settlements shops, and from breaking overworld crates.
Materials for Fusing
| Recommended Fuse Materials for Thunder Gleeok Fight | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Keese Eyeball
|
 Bomb Flower
|
 Gibdo Bone
|
 Silver Bokoblin Horn
|
 Rocket
|
 Spring
|
 Silver Lynel Mace Horn
|
 Silver Lynel Saber Horn
|
Attaching a Keese Eyeball to your arrow will help you improve your precision when hitting the Thunder Gleeok with your bow. This will also help you land explosive strikes without wasting the materials.
Additionally, it is recommended to have Zonai Rockets or Zonai Springs in your inventory as these can help you fly up efficiently without using the updrafts.

Thunder Gleeok Basic Info
|
This three-headed monster first appeared after the Upheaval. Fighting it alone is inadvisable, as its three heads will attack you all at once. When someone sets foot upon its turf, this beast will unleash a salvo of lightning strikes, not letting up until the intruder is reduced to a pile of ashes. |
