I just came across it during exploration, unprepared, and totally underestimated it. I fought it for 20 minutes, have no more food supplies at the end and with the bitter cold. I thought I might actually die there, but I got luckier at the end and I won, with only a couple of heart left for the last few minutes. This thing is harder to fight than Ganon I swear.
This was the first Gleeok I ended up fighting truly. I once ran into one near the start of the game and with how the fight went figured I'd revisit them later on. Yesterday I saw this one from afar and thought "I'm strong enough now, let's see how it goes". Then the King Gleeok name showed up and I had to figure things out on the fly. The last phase in particular made me burn through sooo much food! Beating him as my first Gleeok was kinda satisfying though.
Exactly the same with me. I thought there would be a shrine here but nah it's the king. Never killed one before so killing the king felt great. Still don't know what the Sage wills are used for but it was a pretty fun boss.
For anyone that's already far enough into the game and wants this fight to be easier, just attach gibdo bones to your arrows, it's probably their best use
Haven’t fought a gleeok yet, thought I would go check out that random sky island. Got instantly destroyed. Actually crying. I have 6 hearts and no upgraded armour I was not expecting a secret boss lmao. Can’t wait to crush him though
@@Akrilloth this, but I would use a bunch of wood fires instead. Saved me having battery run out constantly, and the more wood you burn, the faster it goes up
I think the best tactic is to use rockets and Gibdo bones. I do t think that's cheating. That is what the game provides you for hard battles like this. I have beaten three gleeoks including this one and it is even easier if you use a lynel bow.
@@lordlouix yea, no, that’s absolutely acceptable, and I don’t mind however anybody wants to take care of these fights, but I mean sometimes I just wanna see an old school boss fight without exploits, and most everybody posts videos using the same exploits to do these things, like the transfusion tricks where you stack a bunch of different weapons and elemental effects on top of the glitched master sword. Cool, show off how powerful the glitch is, that’s fine, but I just wanna see somebody take on an insanely difficult boss while just playing the game naturally, ya know? But yea I would absolutely abuse the gibdo bones on a Lynel bow with bullet time. For sure
@@joehobo6039well, there is a market for that still. Upload some boss fights where you face them without exploits. Hell I was thinking of starting my own. Personally I too like seeing people take on bosses without needing to resort to exploits. Honestly, the only gleeok I didn't fight naturally was frost, only because my brain just couldn't figure out "hey, if you use rewind on these chunks, you can attack him in the air".
@@AltairEgo1 I just don’t think I’m good enough at boss fights for that to be viable for me. Besides, I started playing Minecraft last year and it’s about all I play now
I avoided every gleeok i saw until I thought I was ready to fight them My first two fights were against kings. Somehow, I managed to not die. I feel like a total badass
You can actually get such a fight from the flame gleeok located on the bridge in central hyrule. The fight takes place on the bridge where there is no cover and there is a chance of you falling off which is super annoying.
I am in LOVE with the way the sound of the Gleeok collapsing is in time with the music. It's too perfect for it not to have been an intentional decision by the devs. Listen to it at 6:48. It's sooooo goddamn satisfying!
I'm 105+ hours in and killed this thing yesterday (used a lot of ascension to stall time and immediately enter bullet time with Revali's bow to immediately down each of those heads with only three arrows each time) and it was so exhilarating! Went and killed the Zelda's horse quest frost gleeok in Hebra shortly after this. Once you get the strategy it's not bad! Cool to see someone else take this on. These creatures felt impossible for much of the game for me so it felt totally triumphant to kill it! You get some cool rewards too. EDIT (adding more): Also used some attack boost food and movement boost stuff while running around the arena, being resourceful in short intervals with meal boosts. Wish I had filmed the fight to show you!
I’ve been playing on and off the game so far, and have been getting side tracked pretty easily. I finally decide to do the story, and I go for Ritos. In the sky after, I see a bit platform. I barley make my way up to it, and with my minimal items and weak weapons, I find this. It did not go well.
I thought the floating island was another Flux Construct so I made my way to the island which was a bit of a pain since it's like far off in the corner, so finding out it was King Gleeok made me clench my bum because I wasn't prepared for this battle. I knew if I wanted to return I'd have to go through the process of actually making it to the island again, so I decided to just suck it up and face the beast. I used whatever food I had (which wasn't much) but thankfully I had enough weapons to successfully down the dragon. The final phase was ridiculous I was hiding under a rock for a good few minutes wondering wtf to do. I attached wings to my arrows so I was able to reach the king from high in the sky. Somehow...I beat him. 10/10 moment
For the King Gleook: This three-headed monster with lightning, fire and ice attributes first appeared after the Upheaval. Fighting it alone is inadvisable, as it can launch coordinated elemental attacks with staggering brutality. You must be well prepared to survive an entanglement with this beast. The other 3 gleeoks are described pretty similarly, it's like 80% similar.
Anyone watch this fight and be disappointed that after so much damage the heads doesn't get chopped off and start flying around? I was hoping for an 3D version of the fights I did as a child.
Nah, I like him flying into the sky and showering meteorites instead. So much cooler, especially when you take out his heads and he falls down, dying to fall damage.
If you can manage to knock him down close to the edge there is a chance he can fall from the platform off the edge of the entire map to his death and the chest will unlock but the theme music for the fight continues. This just happened to me on accident!
I just about beat my first Flame Gleeok. Got it down to like, 35%HP, then saw it rise high into the air. My first thoughts were 'Unfair. How am I supposed to reach it up...' then I see the particle effects looking oddly like a laser beam, and thought 'Whatever it's doing, that is so not good...' It fires off a massive fireball, and even with a full three stamina wheels, it wasn't enough to escape the death.
Honestly, one of the best dragon fights in gaming. Intense, constant action, resource management. Forces you to be a good player. I’d rank it among Midir and Placidusax. So overall an A tier boss. Keep in mind, S tier is like Velkhana and Seething Bazelgeuse.
I spent ages getting to this island because I thought it would have cool loot only to find this. I put down a travel medallion and teleported away immediately lol
I want to see Lynel fights. I know it isn't much rn without Master Mode but do they hold up like the ones in the first game? I used to kill tons of Golden ones and they were harder than the actual story bosses imo.
@@thorgodofhammers1556 Did the person use the Master Sword in the fight? Because the Master Sword puts the fight on literal baby mode. It's pretty challenging otherwise.
I just beat my first of these today. I feel like I did it pretty early (only tier 1 armor and 13ish hearts) but through a few fairies and many keese eyeballs I did it. Insanely cool boss
Whenever I try to take the updraft or revert time on the icicles, I always end up too low and far away from the heads so to reach him I attach wings to the arrows. Really their best use in the game.
I just killed that thing like 5 minutes ago. At first I was like oh balls that’s not a normal gleeok. But after many attempts I got lucky and stopped it from flying away to its final phase and went mad max on it.
Lucky for me I had a savage Lynel bow that shot 3 arrows. I attached eyeballs and turned them into homing arrows and was able to stun lock it very easily. Best part is each shot only cost one eye for 3 arrows.
Gotta say that Keese Eyes make this guy a lot easier - you can potentially even hit more than one head at once if you're using a multi-shot bow like the Savage Lynel Bow. As for getting up to him when he does his desperation attack, I found that climbing on one of the SMALL icicles then using Recall on it to get to his elevation to work better than the updrafts.
That final stage is a pain. Can’t seem to dodge the ice blocks while gliding. EDIT: Holy shit I just beat it. Using rewind on the ice is much better than trying to glide, and homing arrows make hitting him easy. Also Gibdo bones for shooting his heads in the first wave make his health melt like butter.
Have you tried using Mineru for a free bullet time,knocking it hitting fir abit till bout 1 stam bar before hopping back on mineru and doing bullet time as the horns activate?
For that end phase, I didn't bother with the updrafts, I just waited until boss was done with the attack, quick-built a rocket attached to the simple flying machine (2 fans, steering stick), and that got me close enough to it that I could headshot. Not much Stamina, so I used royal bow + the expensive fuses (Hinox and Lynel) to take down the heads in 1-shot each
Very nice battle. Using the ice chunk with Rewind was a clever move, I busted out one of my flying machines using AuttoBuild to get to them when they fly
I killed this mofo yesterday (my first fight against a gleeok). I dropped it off the sky with keese eyes attached to arrows, and bashed it with my strongest weapons on ground. I struggled in the second part. The mofo rained hell on me. But I somehow managed to attach a rocket to my shield, drop him with more arrows with keese eyes, and then bashed it to death. Epic boss fight.
tips on fighting these guys: 1: have a ton of keese arrows and use them with lynel bows (ones with the 5 arrows buff is especially lethal) you can easily use it to take out the heads and even stop them from entering their final phase 2: only use your most high damaging weapon and come paced with a bunch of strong ones, this boss is an absolute tank and will chew through most of your DPS 3: use the barbarian full set or eat something that gives you attack up three boost, any extra dps against these guys is insanely valuable 4: have all five champions, you would be suprisedat their decent damage to the dragons
Me with 6 hearts before having done a single Temple for some reason : "Oh look how hight this island is, I'm sure there's a cool treasure on it !" Me 3 hours later after having used all my arrows, bows, elemental fruits and Keese eyes and dying a dozen times : 💀
I ended up cheesing this fight by just spamming my multishot bow with monster eyes. You can actually end up hitting two heads at once with this method and even prevent him from flying up by constantly stunning him.
I was SO confident the first time I came across a flame gleeok bc in botw I was cutting down enemies left & right, but when i saw how the health bar barely moved after I used a 60 damage weapon…yea
Thank you for just making a video of playing the game instead of being the 1000th loudmouthed UA-camr who probably puts tons of chemical in their hair to make it look like a box of crayons threw up on it.
I've managed to take down 2 regular Gleeoks (Thunder and Fire) but this one is brutal. I put up a good fight but the last section killed me. Whenever I tried ascending into the air with the updrafts, I would get slammed by Icicles or zapped by lightning.
I used rocket shields. It helps to fly up as soon as the gleeok gets up again. He needs a couple seconds before he can shoot beams again. You can also stand beside his heads while you're damaging him so that when he gets back up, you don't immediately get hit with a wind gust or a laser. Managed to beat it like this after a couple tries since lasers one shot me.
@@niedas3426 I managed to take one down in the end. Used Aerocuda Eyeballs fused to arrows to incapacitate each of the heads. They automatically home in on targets. A couple of Eyeballs for each head. They even helped when the Gleeok went high in the air.
I still have no idea how, but I managed to "no hit" the gloomy king gleelock in the depths. It took many deaths to get his patterns down, and a lot of keese eyeballs lol. Darkeater Midir prepared me for this epic dragon fight. I fused a black lizalfos horn to the master sword, with the barbarian armor and an attack up potion and that did a ton of damage quickly.
I just came across it during exploration, unprepared, and totally underestimated it. I fought it for 20 minutes, have no more food supplies at the end and with the bitter cold. I thought I might actually die there, but I got luckier at the end and I won, with only a couple of heart left for the last few minutes. This thing is harder to fight than Ganon I swear.
I found it at the depth first don't know it spawn there too. My strategy use rocket shield to get higher than their death beam combine with lv3 atk buff from banana shoot weak point and attack loop this until it reach final phase ignore thunder wait for the ice and use recall to fly equip thunder helm dodge fireball and shoot weak point again easy.
Zonai springs, a lynel bow, and a good two handed weapon is my go to to reliably kill em. Though the thunder gleeoks are a slight pain considering they have the constant thunderstorm effect when near em, gotta take em down quick before you get zapped
The reward for this fight is so anticlimactic. I was expecting a cool armor piece or something but it was all just for a single Sage’s Will. They could have at least made it four of them so it’s like an instant upgrade.
How is it anti-climactic? It’s a respawning overworld boss which you can farm for its high-tier materials. Otherwise, getting 4 sage's will for beating that is absurd. That is a very high-tier collectable in and of itself, so i don’t think a single respawning over-world encounter warrants that.
@@Auvisome It’s one of the hardest bosses in the game, hidden in a hard to reach place, and guarding a chest. I expect something super cool or useful to be in the chest. The item in the chest was neither.
@@jozajab6849 a sage's will is a good reward. I was perfectly content with it, especially considering how powerful summons are. It’s an upgrade to their damage output, for an immortal summon who causes split aggro, has useful abilities, and can hit weakpoints. Not to mention you’re already receiving high level materials from this boss, that can be farmed per blood moon cycle. That already makes it worth while. If you’re mad you didn’t have enough sage's wills to upgrade, go explore more. And it’s not hidden at all, it’s the only sky island in the Gerudo area. Pretty obvious. Be grateful you got to fight such a good boss who respawns, and got rare rewards.
@@Auvisome gerudo? The king is in the Hebra area, and I say it’s pretty hard to get to when you have to jump from the sky temple to reach it unless you use a flying machine. Also how are the summons at all broken? Mine just run around and barely attack anything, even the ones that I’ve upgraded. And what do strong weapons really matter when they just break and I’ve already beaten every boss anyway?
@@jozajab6849 the island is floating above the Gerudo highlands. Spare me. Split aggro, can hit weaknesses, immortal, have powerful abilities, combo extender. If you got Tulin, he is especially useful for this fight because he doesn’t despawn when you’re high above the ground. Summons are very useful, it’s like spirit ashes in Elden Ring. And summons engage with enemies every time you engage with enemies or have engaged with them. Because you get a surplus of materials that you can reliably farm and make powerful weapons per blood moon cycle. You can make more weapons per given enemy now. Not to mention, you could use it for upgrading armour. Are you really going to bitch about durability too, having played this far into the game? Grow up. I beat King Gleeok only having done 3 dungeons, so I don’t really have that issue necessarily. I like the fight enough that I’d fight it again for no other reason than it’s fun.
I can hardly ever get the final phase right. I either get hit by ice going up the up drafts or I get hit by lightning trying to recal on the ice. I can hardly see either coming.
There is this guy just going ham out in the open but then there is me just hiding behind a rock 2047 because I’m a coward and I’m only coming out when Riju’s lighting ability is done recharging
I beat every single Gleeok in that game as well as all 4 Moldugas. If I had more patience, I’d have taken out every single Stone Talus, every Flux Construct, and every Frox as well. Still, after 5 months of playing, I felt enough was enough and beat the game in May of 2024.
Honestly, nice fight and great gameplay, but I don't know this is not exactly tough to beat. You just need to grind enough to have good itens and herts to avoid OHKO's and sufficient ammo. But the insane amount of food he had stored shows that he was never really threatened. I lack this feeling from some old games sometimes, even also loving the new ones.
I had to farm some Lynels for their bows and Keese for their eyeballs (Preferably the elemental ones). Cooked up some meals of mighty bananas and went for a long ride to the island to get revenge.
My fav way to kill king gleeoks is with a Zora longsword pristine w/ 10+ attack and Molduga jaw fused, bone weapon prof armour, attack up food and get wet before you shoot him. You can kill him in the first stun before he gets up lol.
The second phase of the fight is BS if you try and ride the wind up. I found that dodging his attacks until he stops and then riding an icicle up is the most foolproof option.
Nintendo really woke up and said “How about we add King Ghidorah in Zelda. I mean, we got away with using Angurius’s roar for Ridley and Titanosaurus’s roar for Crocomire so why not add more Godzilla refs” 💀💀💀
I’m willing to bet, someone is gonna mod in King Ghidorah over Gleeok’s model.
You and I think alike my friend.
Meh...Ghido was more cool 🤣🤣
Allready done
Or probably Ohrowchee from Wonderful 101.
Was thinking that this morning myself! But who are they gonna mod over to make Godzilla? Can’t have King Ghidora w/o the G-Man
The gleeok hit you once, and you only lost two hearts. The gleeok hits me once and I lose everything.
He must have seriously upgraded his armor then.
I lost my husband, my house, and my cats my first time fighting this.
That doesn't seem fair.

I dropped it off the sky with keese eyes attached to arrows, and bashed it with my strongest weapons on ground. I struggled in the second part. The mofo rained hell on me. But I somehow managed to attach a rocket to my shield, drop him with more arrows with keese eyes, and then bashed it to death.
Epic boss fight.
tips on fighting these guys:
1: have a ton of keese arrows and use them with lynel bows (ones with the 5 arrows buff is especially lethal) you can easily use it to take out the heads and even stop them from entering their final phase
2: only use your most high damaging weapon and come paced with a bunch of strong ones, this boss is an absolute tank and will chew through most of your DPS
3: use the barbarian full set or eat something that gives you attack up three boost, any extra dps against these guys is insanely valuable
4: have all five champions, you would be suprisedat their decent damage to the dragons
I respect that you kept this real!! Most ppl just show the defeat as if they didn’t take any damage
Can't believe they added King Guidorah to this game
Me with 6 hearts before having done a single Temple for some reason : "Oh look how hight this island is, I'm sure there's a cool treasure on it !"
Me 3 hours later after having used all my arrows, bows, elemental fruits and Keese eyes and dying a dozen times : 💀
Atleat give like 2 of them i feel like 1 devalues the hard work
I ended up cheesing this fight by just spamming my multishot bow with monster eyes. You can actually end up hitting two heads at once with this method and even prevent him from flying up by constantly stunning him.
The boss fights in this game make botw look like a joke
Yeah I agree
I was STUNNED by the Gleeok and Colgera. What beautiful designs. Way better than the Blights.
@@Meidoification so molgera lived after windwaker and just got really cold so now he's colgera
@@Red_Male Yup, that's what came to my mind too. Way different fight though
I was SO confident the first time I came across a flame gleeok bc in botw I was cutting down enemies left & right, but when i saw how the health bar barely moved after I used a 60 damage weapon…yea
First time seeing this guy on internet and I was like: Wait wait is that King Ghidorah?! 😂
same😂
Thank you for just making a video of playing the game instead of being the 1000th loudmouthed UA-camr who probably puts tons of chemical in their hair to make it look like a box of crayons threw up on it.
I've managed to take down 2 regular Gleeoks (Thunder and Fire) but this one is brutal.
I put up a good fight but the last section killed me. Whenever I tried ascending into the air with the updrafts, I would get slammed by Icicles or zapped by lightning.
I used rocket shields. It helps to fly up as soon as the gleeok gets up again. He needs a couple seconds before he can shoot beams again. You can also stand beside his heads while you're damaging him so that when he gets back up, you don't immediately get hit with a wind gust or a laser.
Managed to beat it like this after a couple tries since lasers one shot me.
@@niedas3426 I managed to take one down in the end.
Used Aerocuda Eyeballs fused to arrows to incapacitate each of the heads. They automatically home in on targets. A couple of Eyeballs for each head. They even helped when the Gleeok went high in the air.
I still have no idea how, but I managed to "no hit" the gloomy king gleelock in the depths. It took many deaths to get his patterns down, and a lot of keese eyeballs lol. Darkeater Midir prepared me for this epic dragon fight. I fused a black lizalfos horn to the master sword, with the barbarian armor and an attack up potion and that did a ton of damage quickly.
My second attempt on the gloomy gleeok was a no hit, heck yeah my dude
He was my first too. I’ve since defeated all the kings and weirdly the depths king gave me the LEAST trouble - that final phase is a biotch, lol.
I just came across it during exploration, unprepared, and totally underestimated it. I fought it for 20 minutes, have no more food supplies at the end and with the bitter cold. I thought I might actually die there, but I got luckier at the end and I won, with only a couple of heart left for the last few minutes. This thing is harder to fight than Ganon I swear.
Little did King Gleeok knew I've played DMC5, never knew what he had coming
I think you misspelled the monster boss’s name. It’s king Ghidorah
Actually it’s Placidusax
@@ericscorch6272 Which is pretty much based off of King Ghidorah.
I found it at the depth first don't know it spawn there too. My strategy use rocket shield to get higher than their death beam combine with lv3 atk buff from banana shoot weak point and attack loop this until it reach final phase ignore thunder wait for the ice and use recall to fly equip thunder helm dodge fireball and shoot weak point again easy.
I’m not sure what’s more difficult: fighting King Gleeoks, or not falling off the sky island
King Gleeok vs. Prime Placidusax. Who wins?
The moment he goes in the sky it’s just: “RANDOM BULLSHIT GO!!!”
Its each of the main gleeoks using their special breath attack. Giant fire ball, ice spikes and a lightning storm
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 I know, it’s still not in any order. It’s like, all at the same time.
Link out here fighting king kong size elemental dragons and scat that are literally 2 times his size
Zonai springs, a lynel bow, and a good two handed weapon is my go to to reliably kill em. Though the thunder gleeoks are a slight pain considering they have the constant thunderstorm effect when near em, gotta take em down quick before you get zapped
The reward for this fight is so anticlimactic. I was expecting a cool armor piece or something but it was all just for a single Sage’s Will. They could have at least made it four of them so it’s like an instant upgrade.
How is it anti-climactic? It’s a respawning overworld boss which you can farm for its high-tier materials. Otherwise, getting 4 sage's will for beating that is absurd. That is a very high-tier collectable in and of itself, so i don’t think a single respawning over-world encounter warrants that.
@@Auvisome It’s one of the hardest bosses in the game, hidden in a hard to reach place, and guarding a chest. I expect something super cool or useful to be in the chest. The item in the chest was neither.
@@jozajab6849 a sage's will is a good reward. I was perfectly content with it, especially considering how powerful summons are. It’s an upgrade to their damage output, for an immortal summon who causes split aggro, has useful abilities, and can hit weakpoints.
Not to mention you’re already receiving high level materials from this boss, that can be farmed per blood moon cycle. That already makes it worth while. If you’re mad you didn’t have enough sage's wills to upgrade, go explore more.
And it’s not hidden at all, it’s the only sky island in the Gerudo area. Pretty obvious. Be grateful you got to fight such a good boss who respawns, and got rare rewards.
@@Auvisome gerudo? The king is in the Hebra area, and I say it’s pretty hard to get to when you have to jump from the sky temple to reach it unless you use a flying machine.
Also how are the summons at all broken? Mine just run around and barely attack anything, even the ones that I’ve upgraded.
And what do strong weapons really matter when they just break and I’ve already beaten every boss anyway?
@@jozajab6849 the island is floating above the Gerudo highlands. Spare me.
Split aggro, can hit weaknesses, immortal, have powerful abilities, combo extender. If you got Tulin, he is especially useful for this fight because he doesn’t despawn when you’re high above the ground. Summons are very useful, it’s like spirit ashes in Elden Ring. And summons engage with enemies every time you engage with enemies or have engaged with them.
Because you get a surplus of materials that you can reliably farm and make powerful weapons per blood moon cycle. You can make more weapons per given enemy now. Not to mention, you could use it for upgrading armour. Are you really going to bitch about durability too, having played this far into the game? Grow up.
I beat King Gleeok only having done 3 dungeons, so I don’t really have that issue necessarily. I like the fight enough that I’d fight it again for no other reason than it’s fun.
What is the location?
Link vs Godzilla arch-enemy King Ghidorah.
King Ghidorah.
@@johnsantos507 yeah that alien sky dragon.
Pro tip: attach eyeballs to the arrows. They’re home into the heads
I can hardly ever get the final phase right. I either get hit by ice going up the up drafts or I get hit by lightning trying to recal on the ice. I can hardly see either coming.
There is this guy just going ham out in the open but then there is me just hiding behind a rock 2047 because I’m a coward and I’m only coming out when Riju’s lighting ability is done recharging
It's not a secret. This enemy is part of Kilton's side quest.
Multi-shot bow plus keese eyes make grounding it much easier and cheaper. (Kill blue lynels for the bows) (Kill keese hoards for the eyes)
Maybe unpopular opinion? I font like how they're faces look. It looks like ToTK went all in with the eye weakpoint trope.
For the final phase I just kept fusing rockets to my shield and knocking him down from the air. Felt sooooo satisfying
I beat every single Gleeok in that game as well as all 4 Moldugas. If I had more patience, I’d have taken out every single Stone Talus, every Flux Construct, and every Frox as well. Still, after 5 months of playing, I felt enough was enough and beat the game in May of 2024.
archery is so important in this flippin game, this must be the best archer Link amongst all other Links
Honestly, nice fight and great gameplay, but I don't know this is not exactly tough to beat. You just need to grind enough to have good itens and herts to avoid OHKO's and sufficient ammo. But the insane amount of food he had stored shows that he was never really threatened. I lack this feeling from some old games sometimes, even also loving the new ones.
I was just tryna check out this random island and got destroyed 😭
Someone should edit King ghidorah's Roar on this guy.
Please
Got it.
Which incarnation? Ghidorah has like 15 different Incarnations in the Godzilla Franchise.
@@somedudewhodraws9377 The bibidis. Always the bibidis.
That slow motion shot is easily spamable
Gleeok's Like: NO NOT YOU AGAIN
The second phase is horrendous. The boss spamming every attack on your head without being able to do anything about it.
Are there any other original loz bosses in this game? Gleeock is the only one besides ganon that I’ve seen so far
Gibdos as well
And like likes are back too
Like likes are attached to walls and ceilings in caves and are worth to hunt because they drop golden chests
I had to farm some Lynels for their bows and Keese for their eyeballs (Preferably the elemental ones). Cooked up some meals of mighty bananas and went for a long ride to the island to get revenge.
My fav way to kill king gleeoks is with a Zora longsword pristine w/ 10+ attack and Molduga jaw fused, bone weapon prof armour, attack up food and get wet before you shoot him. You can kill him in the first stun before he gets up lol.
When I found this guy I had like 20 arrows at the most. Didn't go so well.
I was wanting to avoid fighting, so I flew up to see if I could find more shrines and special stuff.
Well…he was special.
Watching this guide because I went to this island and haven’t fought a single gleeok yet and need the help
The second phase of the fight is BS if you try and ride the wind up. I found that dodging his attacks until he stops and then riding an icicle up is the most foolproof option.
Way for Nintendo to upgrade this classic boss to KING GHIDORAH levels!!!!
Wonder if you can reverse time on the ice and hit them
I found this guy while trying to reach the island for shits and giggles and got one-shotted.
why must ghidorah?
I can’t believe bro really died from the fall
This would be even better with "The Opened Way" - Shadow of the Colossus
so when do we fight king kong and godzilla?
Harder than the final boss imo
"Get my necklace back from Gleeok, Okay?"
Nintendo really woke up and said “How about we add King Ghidorah in Zelda. I mean, we got away with using Angurius’s roar for Ridley and Titanosaurus’s roar for Crocomire so why not add more Godzilla refs” 💀💀💀
I simply used a 5 shot savage lynel bow and this thing became a joke. also no one mentions just using recall on the icicles?
Oh lawd. This is giving me PTSD from my Monster Hunter Gogmazios days haha
“You’re not afraid of dragons, are you?”
“…of course not!”
“Then go and get my necklace back from Gleeok, ok? Pretty please?”
You think you're good until Nintendo says "fuck it, you want difficult? I will give you king Ghidorah level difficult, motherfucker."
What's in the chest (and where is the chest)?
Haven’t killed any gleeoks going straight to this thing
What is there in the cheast?
