all you have to do is a backflip, time slows down, and then you wail on them. Repeat that a few times and they're dead. it's not that hard.

Only faggots use the rush attack, parries are FAR more challenging. That's what a good player uses.

Don't you have to hoard weapons so you don't run out of weapons before it dies? How is that good?

>>384635571
You don't have to do that at all, just have good weapons/potions.

>>384634607
I'd agree with you only if any souls boss also gave me a dozen free qte hits on dodge.

>>384635758
So, if you aren't at a point in the game where you have high enough numbers on your equipment, then no matter how good at the game you are, you're fucked?

>>384636442
basically yea, your weapons won't do enough damage and they will break before putting a dent in the enemy

>>384636442
No, because BotW is well designed.

I could explain the options availabile to you, but I think I'm going to avoid that, because you're a cunt.

>>384636442
Well you can't punch the fucking thing to death, no. If you aren't armed sufficiently for the fight you'd have to run.

I don't see how that's an issue. If everything can be readily dispatched with your bare hands what the fuck is the point of using weapons?

Theoretically you could punch every Souls boss to death but it'd be a massive waste of time and you'd probably get killed at some point because of fatigue from how long it'd take.

>>384636646
You can't explain the options because there are none, besides slowly chipping it's health using bombs.

>>384635571
A decent bow, high damage melee and arrows are enough. Melee weapon doesn't lose durability if you mount this thing before hitting it.
>>384636442
You can even skip the bow completely, because when lynel rushes at you and misses, you can mount it before it gets up. You need to learn this yourself though, because game doesn't tell you any tips.

>>384636878
>Theoretically you could punch every Souls boss to death but it'd be a massive waste of time and you'd probably get killed at some point because of fatigue from how long it'd take

The whole game can be easily completed using the starter weapon.

>>384636442
well, you can use bombs if you have a few hours to spend

>You can't explain the options because there are none
No, I choose not to, because for those who have actually played the game, the options are obvious.

So you can go ahead and wallow in your ignorance. We both know that you were gonna try your best to shitpost and dismiss the answer even if I did give it you.

Unless you're playing super early game with shit weapons and fighting one, they're easy as fuck to take down.

I get how to fight them for the most part, but I find the Crusher attack where they create an explosive impact very annoying and hard to read. Even if you get the flurry, you get hit by the splash.

How the fuck are you supposed to deal with it, other than reading it and doing an arrow counter in the first place?

>>384637310
I parry it. I parry almost every single thing the Lynels do, and then I shoot them in the face with my bow, then I mount them.

>>384637310
you run out of their way? that has a pretty long cooldown for you to hit them and then back down before they do the spin attack

>>384637310
Just dodge or guard.

Should give it a shot, I underuse parrying.

Except you can just pile up a mountain of food.

>>384635392
Good players are smart and don't increase risk if it doesn't increase reward appropriately. I'm not going to do something harder for the same result.

>>384637534
Proved my point perfectly.

Thank you.

>>384637581
>Doesn't work because the splash still hits you
You're aware "not getting hit" no matter the form it takes, is a form of dodging right?

>>384637581
>Should give it a shot
You really should. When you get good at parry timing it trivializes the game even more than what good gear does for you, but it's still satisfying to watch spear lynels jump up in the air and try to come down on me only to parry and see the explosion of light on impact.

>>384637310
You mean the giant explosion attack? Just run. The wind up is so long even if you waited a second you should still be out of range when it goes off

>>384637683
If you're talking about general "dodging" rather than the dodge mechanic, then maybe, but I've found it difficult given that Link's run speed doesn't seem to outpace that one specific attack. The other Lynel weapons lack an equivalent.

>>384637734
No, it's crusher only. The spear and sword lynel specific attacks are much simpler.

>>384635000
I just flew down on them and shot spread bomb arrows before they could do shit.

The only time they're hard is when they can 1 shot you and you have such shit weapons that you have to break 10 of them before you can kill them

>>384634607
>breaks your entire inventory
>>384635392
>it's only hard if you gimp yourself
what a fucking non-argument

>>384637683
So why did you lie to the other dude? Do you admit now that you're hopelessly in love with an objectively bad game when compared to others?

>>384637678
>Good players are smart and don't increase risk if it doesn't increase reward appropriately.

Lol no, good players don't back down from a challenge. Otherwise I could just nuke Demon's Souls with magic, but I don't.

Fuck this place sucks, if this game is actually rewarding in it's difficulty I want to know. Particularly when it's a claim that goes in the face of popular opinion.

>>384637310
if all else fails, you can simply use Stasis+, a single hit will shortly stun them, not enough to mount them, but if you have spears it's long enough to hit once and charge a lv2 attack

>>384637310
This is when I stopped dodging these with flurry rushes. Every time lynel throwed his crusher over his head and rushed at me I knew it was going to end like this. Parrying is more consistent overall.

The only possible challenge that you could have fighting a lynel is the silver one on the great plateau in Master mode with starting weapons. With health Regen it's impossible to kill though

>>384638191
the game is really bad. There's been dozens of reasons mentioned why its so bad thousands of times already. Just ignore the false flaggers and people with shit taste

>>384638191
>if this game is actually rewarding in it's difficulty I want to know

it's not

Lynels are only hard the first time. Then you read them and can take them down easy as fuck. They're not remotely on par with a well done boss in ANY game.

>>384634607
I've never seen a more wrong statement in my life. You're either baiting for replies to incite reaction out of people or you've never actually played any Souls game before.

>>384636646
Try fighting the lynel on the great plateau in Master mode with starting weapons. It would literally be impossible with it regenerating health constantly.

One of two only reasons you'd fight lynels is for Materials for Barbarian armor, Or their bow.

Goldies especially are 200% waste of my time

Any goldie is just an instant ancient arrow target honestly.

>>384638170
Why are you using weapons and/or armor? That makes the game much easier. Same thing with parrying/rolling. Applies to every game ever made.

Nintenbros can't see flaws in their games.

>>384638191
Don't pay it any mind. BotW fans hate it when you point out something obviously shitty about their 10/10 game.

>>384639598
It's not shitty and it absolutely deserves defending.

Literally one of the biggest red flags is when a "hardcore" gamer does something like whine about durability mechanics. Easiest way to spot the retarded dudebro or the autistic retard.

>>384639623
60 damage and a fuckton of durability. Like a fucking shitload.

>>384639598
I agree it's shitty, I'll start by saying that. But it's obvious it exists because a selling point of the game was "look at all the different weapons you can use!!" and with the durability system you're constantly changing it up. Again, I feel the need to say I AGREE WITH YOU and think it's shitty though. I'd be less bitchy about this mechanic if durability wasn't so short.

>>384636878
You trying to shit on my punch builds, mate?

Can I run this game with higher than 5 fps on cemu yet?

>>384639598
Durability is fine in normal mode you always have weapons dropped from the dudes you kill forever, however in master mode where everyone is made is made of bricks that's where the durability gets bad, it's not even challenging, it's just a grindfest,

>>384634607

If your answer is to abuse oversights to bring buffs in, I'm not interested.

>>384640567
If they let you do it, it's not an oversight.


Come back when you git gud. You have no right to talk if you can't even clear the Sword Trials on Master Mode.

>>384639782
I feel it's shitty mostly because you reach endgame incredibly fast weapon-wise, race weapons are incredibly weak and are mostly only useful to restore their respective champ's weapon, and (probably to the blame of the game's open nature) every shrine in the game outside of the "tests of strength" seems to assume it is your first, after 40 or so shrines I stopped going out of my way for their chests only to find "royal weapon with long throw #137". That's why Lynel bows are the best, their 3x property makes them very strong and there's a continuous supply of them because they have enough durability to last you at least two other Lynels (excluding the chance of getting durability/attack bonuses)

>>384642503
>Wax about how the trial is about completing it without added strength

>Allow a mechanic that is entirely added strength

They balanced the Trial of the Sword around the base difficulty. Master Mode is incidentally completable by the abuse of mechanics, as evidenced by the fact that by abusing said mechanics it's all completable and that the earlier floors are comparatively difficult to the later floors when you do so in master mode.

The fact of the matter is that health regen was a poor choice from a difficulty perspective for the trial (and the plateau) because weapons didn't permit skillful fighting properly, but Nintendo didn't account for it. Master Mode in general is welcome but the oversights there being seen as neutral or beneficial is basically corporate cocksucking, and I consider myself a Nintenbro.

>>384642894
>those 5X bows that occasionally drop
Who planned that? I had 2 lynel bows when I quit that shot 5 fucking arrows. All it took to kill ganon was 5/10 guardian arrows and a few parrys since you're actually hitting 25-50 fucking times in the span of 3 seconds. He didn't even get to attack me fucking once before he went red.

Sorry my guy. All I can see here is mental gymnastics so you can blame the dev rather than yourself. I've heard this exact same sort of shit so many times about so many different games. Get it together, you're better than this. Or not. If not, that's really too bad.

>>384643161

You still have to kill the Lynel, which most people find impossible, so it's OP, but only if you can get them.

>>384643354


I'm assuming you're the guy that replied to that other guy about not having a maxed out Master Sword in the first place. If not, sorry, whatever, but if so...

Beating a single Gold Lynel is way easeir than doing the tedium that is cooking up a bunch of bullshit buffs for the Trial of the Sword on Master Mode and then successfully executing it. If the guy is having trouble with lynels, why the fuck would completing the Trial that more or less is the most difficult part of the game be considered an acceptable solution?

Second, after trying it twice unbuffed I decided to do it in Master Mode properly, I'm just gathering horns and ingredients for my attempt proper eventually while I enjoy most of the rest of the game. That having been said, I think carrying buffs in is bullshit, otherwise you might as well let players carry in, say, armor instead, and spare the tedium (since you're already not sparing decorum) and let it be.

>>384642207
