Another good tip is to just use a keese eyes or any eyes on your arrows they will track the eyes and go strait to them so you won’t need a boost into the air and you won’t need a shield (metal) either and for your sword only take it out when you gonna hit him because your sword is probably metal and at a certain point you metal will attract the electricity hope that helps
I had no idea about the keese eyeball arrows. That helped so much when the king gleeok does his second part of flying high up in the air. You are the greatest
For the metal attracting the electricity, can't you just wear the Rubber Armor which will make you shock-proof? And if you want to boost your attack you can also just drink an elixir to boost your attack power
Fire and ice gleeok take slightly more damage from the element that opposes it, so use that to your advantage if dps is low. Two handed weapons like claymores work nice for using the spin to Land many hits on the heads. Thunder gleeok specifically you can cook shockfruits into food that boosts damage in thunderstorms if your lacking in resources. Last thing is a multishot bow is your best friend. Single fuse with a Keese eye can down it in one shot should it line up correctly
Use keese eyeball and attach to your arrow every time you shoot. You don’t need to aim because it will hit at your target for you. Just aim at the head n release those arrows.( use savage lynel bow which shoots out 3 arrows at a time) this apply to all beasts in this game. You have those eyeballs from killing those bats and other monsters.
What I did to get in the air was attach rockets to all the shields I had, don't know if it is easier or not, but it worked for me! Also the keese eye ball on the arrows are a great help for those of us with terrible aim LOL
Good tips, especially for open world encounters. For the Coliseum encounter specifically, though, I find that if you use Ascend to get to the higher levels of the structure before Gleeok (as you say, not getting greedy with the hits while Gleeok is on the ground), it's not difficult to then jump down and enter "bullet time" mode. Apparently, Gleeok also has a unique final attack when he starts flying extra high near the end, but, like you, I always defeat him before letting that play out.
Just fought a frost gleeok and threw everything at it. Aerocuda and keese eyes, bomb flowers, and rewinded one of the ice spikes he drops from his last phase to finish him off in slow motion w the arrows and finally realized I could’ve done that the whole fight most likely. Fought him in real time from the ground and it was a nightmare.
Gotta love it when a Gleeok flies above the 2nd floor on the Coliseum and you knock it down from the ground, but it’s heads dangle from the floor, so you can’t perform strong melee attacks on it. As if they aren’t frustrating enough.
I've used the rocket shield trick for launching up in the air to target the heads. It's probably more foolproof then jumping on the spring each time. You can attach multiple free rockets to all your shields on a ton of sky island locations. The keese eye ball arrow trick is a game changer for when he flies super high in the air.
Perfect vid. I heard spring board and I didn't need to think too hard. NGL I honestly play the game the unintentional way. I beat 3 of the Big Bosses before I even attempted to upgrade my armor.
everytime i see a rocket anywhere i fuse it to one of my shields - that would definitely be easier than the spring method bc it’s one step instead of two, tho i haven’t tried to kill one of these yet 😂😅
Some monsters are more of a gear check than about perfect execution of strategy. It took you a ton of hits to get that boss down even with your 50+ damage weapons. Should probably let people know they can't do this without having the right gear or having a lot of food and hearts and time. It might take 30 minutes to fight the boss.
I found this out the hard way early on unfortunately. v.v Several retries later. Even using the buildings for cover eventualy those hard to outrun attacks caught up to me. And it took 3+ hits per head to take them out.
Careful with device dispenser, each has its own devices. Overall get to one that dispenses springs. For the final stage of the fight, when the Gleeok soars high, combine three springs so you get higher and shoot downwards straight.
Not how I would do it. I would probably just attach wings to the shield and do a shield jump and that gets you bullet time. You won't get as much air but it should be fine if you do it before the gleeok gets too high.
If I ever get my Switch back to working order then hopefully get this game someday, I will definitely be using this tactic. Unless there are any "easier" methods, this is really clever - and cool, definitely !!!!!!
Keese eyes only work if you haven’t already used all of them on a Gleeok already. Had to take a trip to Kakariko Village/Beetle for arrows for the same reason.
I've been using elemental keese eyeballs or chu jellies with a 3 or 5 shot bow. I usually start the fight coming in from above so I can use bullet time to start the battle. I have two rocket shields (1 for when they fly high up, and a backup just in case I mess up). I've been lucky enough a couple of times where the explosion from the elemental eyeball or jelly gets all three heads at once.
I tried your method but i died too many times because i somehow managed to not hit it with the sword while i was up, it took me too much time to reach and set it up again, it got deleted by the flames etc. In the end just use the fire on the ground to elevate yourself and arrows with eyes attached for easy aim (they won't work if you're on the ground and he fly too high from you). Additionally you can have some occasions where all the heads are close to each others and 1 bomb can hit all 3. Just run away from his attacks and fly + arrows in the eyes until he dies. Eventually he will be so high that falling from there will kill him anyway
Meanwhile me who defeated thunder gleeok without using any eyes attachment, went straight to the gleeok's face, used up foods to restore stamina and stock up electric resistance. And then i just learn i can just use homing arrows
So dumb question but what if you dont have a spring or rockets and you’re low on zonai charges? Is there any way to fight them from the ground or your only advantage is the air? These mini boss are just really annoying to deal with and out of all of the mini bosses these are my least favorite.
I faced the king gleeok and everything was going fine until he went super high and i couldnt reach him and he just rained lightning and ice down on me. Don't know what to do at that point. Any tips?
I used keese eyeballs to help home in on the dragons eyes it worked wonderful also I used ascend to get to higher places to jump off to shoot my arrows I am not as quick to pull out the spring boards I killed my fire gleeok this way.
oh my God i was putting this fight off....and now i had to a quest to try and do all news reporting in stables to get froggy armor and i gotta fucking kill a frost gleek.. good thing i got a nice stack of juciy lyonal bows and full recov food
Do you HAVE TO take the Gleeoks out? Like, are they tied in with the story in any way? When I first saw these Gleeok dragons, they freaked me out. Still do. Got my a## handed to me on the first encounter. I turn and run the other way whenever I see one. But I know I'm eventually going to have to face them.
Just a random tidbit, if you have tons of Stakes you're hoarding, you can literally just quick stick one in the ground in front of the Gleeock just to hop on in order to get enuff air for the first phase of bullet time. You have to be quick but for the OCD hoarders & efficiency nerds like myself it's a nice lil trick. Not good enough for future phases tho when he flies really high up. Or you can also just fuse a Wing on to your shield & shield surf to get just enough air for a quick bullet time. You're likely swimming in those that you aren't using as well.
Lmao I have 13 hearts and full 3 bar stamina bar and still only have level 9 armor and level 40 weapons what am I doing wrong? How do I get dressed appropriately for electricity thanks in advancedd
My method:
See the gleeok
Turn around
Prepare for an intense engagement
Run away
I was gonna look up how to deal with them last night. But instead I saved and went to sleep
why do we need to know this
Same
Good call
Those things visit your unprepared nightmares
@@Tulinx 😂
Literally just did this I’m too tired so ima beat it’s ass tomorrow 😂

What a chad you are. Guess I shouldn't spam a or nor read the text.
I really appreciate this because I see them sometimes and i’m like HHAHAHAHA no i’ll do that later 🎶goodbyyyyye🎶
My same exact thought lmfao
I been attaching rockets to my sheilds lol so when I need to go upwards I hold my sheild in front of me and it will lift me up

does those three arrows target different heads?
Amazing tip re: the multi shot bow. I beat a Lynel and got a three shot bow and haven't known what to use it for yet. Seems like the perfect choice.
Use keese eyeball and attach to your arrow every time you shoot. You don’t need to aim because it will hit at your target for you. Just aim at the head n release those arrows.( use savage lynel bow which shoots out 3 arrows at a time) this apply to all beasts in this game.

I use rockets too, but mainly near the end when Gleeok is trying to fly away lol. Rocket shields ftw!

That last attack when its at low hp lets you reach his high hight and it will die from the fall damaged
Took me three tries and finding this vid but finally got em! Found it easier to “ascend” up the building then use the spring. Mine kept disspearing
Just fought a frost gleeok and threw everything at it. Aerocuda and keese eyes, bomb flowers, and rewinded one of the ice spikes he drops from his last phase to finish him off in slow motion w the arrows and finally realized I could’ve done that the whole fight most likely.

Thanks for the video. I've tried so many times to beat these guys. It got to the point where I'd rather fight a silver Lynel vs. one of these.
To be honest, I feel like the Depths is the hidden master mode, because the gloom will eat away at link everytime he is hit by an attack down there.
I've used the rocket shield trick for launching up in the air to target the heads. It's probably more foolproof then jumping on the spring each time. You can attach multiple free rockets to all your shields on a ton of sky island locations. The keese eye ball arrow trick is a game changer for when he flies super high in the air.
You can just run under the ledges, ascend, jump, repeat, also
Thank You! This method really really helped. it's the best method!
as additional tip use the strongest fuse eye balls you have.
You can use keese eyes with arrows from the ground to hit its eyes. You dont even need to chase it up in the air
But you need like 50 of them to beat a single gleeok and I have like 30 and I don't use them that much so you have to farm
@@KeinNiemand i was talking about when he goes up in the air, you only need six at that point. Or 3 aracoda eyes
When they get lower in health they fly higher up and the arrows won't reach them. Gotta find a way to get higher up
Through out my entire play of tears of the kingdom i have NEVER been able to beat a single Gleeok
I forgot we got spring boards...i was using campfire and pine cone to send myself flying up there
Fuse the spring to your shield and you can pop into the air any time.
That is a great idea. The only disadvantage is that the spring breaks after one use. Bring several springs if you go for this strategy
@@alexandermestre5208 Or a time-bomb device!
Bombflowers can do the same thing
Perfect vid. I heard spring board and I didn't need to think too hard. NGL I honestly play the game the unintentional way. I beat 3 of the Big Bosses before I even attempted to upgrade my armor.

Nice one thanks. It’s Gleeok season! I also like the “if you think you can do it better……😂😂😂

Lynel bow and keese eyeball is easiest to kill gleeok

You can also fuse the spring to your shield and just shield surf to jump up but it’s a 1 time use type deal
Me to Thunder Gleeok: So you have chosen death?
Thunder Gleeok: Bzzzt No YOU!
Thanks fo the vid ..ps dude...that riff of the zelda tune at the end where can i hear more ?! Sounds dope

Can't believe I was killing lynels before knowing how to do this
😅, this is funny because I ran into one of those three head dragons last night at hylia bridge I think.
yeah, the fire one!! i ran like a btch 🥲

I know a glitch where if you have one item like a horn you can glitch the game and start getting them without fighting the dragon again
Be trying this tonight. Thanks
I faced the king gleeok and everything was going fine until he went super high and i couldnt reach him and he just rained lightning and ice down on me. Don't know what to do at that point. Any tips?
The spring board is a bit much. They made link very dependent in totk vs botw where he could really just fly up on his own
Attach the springboard on your shield and do a shield surf. 🎉
Ah dude thanks for this I'm now on the hunt for all of them do you know if they respawn after you kill them?
All enemies respawn every blood moon, bud
As TGP said, they respawn every blood moon!
@@JSkeletonNintendo does this make hunting and killing them all kinda pointless though, or?
@@makefoxhoundgreatagain842 Not really, cause you get a bunch of parts from them that you can use for upgrading gear, making elixirs, selling, etc..
@@tagpeliciousno all enemies dont actually but most do
how do u get that 88 white lynel horn??
Thanks man
I used keese eyeballs to help home in on the dragons eyes it worked wonderful also I used ascend to get to higher places to jump off to shoot my arrows I am not as quick to pull out the spring boards I killed my fire gleeok this way.
Now that I know to follow hydra protocol I think I can beat them.
now i want to see people do it without post game equipment and gear.
You can use Kesse eyeballs on a arrow because there homing missiles
oh my God i was putting this fight off....and now i had to a quest to try and do all news reporting in stables to get froggy armor and i gotta fucking kill a frost gleek..
good thing i got a nice stack of juciy lyonal bows and full recov food
I honestly thought that was going to be a lot harder.
"They're pretty tough, but pretty easy to defeat."
what?
LOL! They’re tough USUALLY, but easy if you do it the right way* 😂
Do you HAVE TO take the Gleeoks out? Like, are they tied in with the story in any way?

Pretty tough but pretty easy to defeat 😅
where are good melay weppons that dont reqire the killing a lynel to get
Whats that green creature that keeps following u? I still dont have that.
You’ll find out😅
My method is to use a rocket shield and then do bullet timing
How i defeated this guy; lightning resistance armor, lynel bow, kees eyes, strong fused weapons and 5 sages. Beat him in like 2 minutes.
why is the horns fuse power only 30?
A pain when Lynel weapons are King anyways. 🤷♂️
Watched this other way add rockets to your shields to fly up and use eye balls in arrows goes right to thier eyes boom
Nice vid bruh
I don’t have any of these items or anywhere near this amount of health. Thing is a pain in the A
Yeah the moment I arrived at the last part where he flies in the air and see the fall damage I told myself. BINGO 83
i was doing everything correctly until i ran out of arrows mid fight ToT will be redoing it now
Just a random tidbit, if you have tons of Stakes you're hoarding, you can literally just quick stick one in the ground in front of the Gleeock just to hop on in order to get enuff air for the first phase of bullet time. You have to be quick but for the OCD hoarders & efficiency nerds like myself it's a nice lil trick. Not good enough for future phases tho when he flies really high up.
Or you can also just fuse a Wing on to your shield & shield surf to get just enough air for a quick bullet time. You're likely swimming in those that you aren't using as well.
Hard because all my weapon attracts thunder.
You one hit the eyes i have to hit each eye at least 3 times is it because my bow sucks
Hate this monster sm 😂 thank you
or you could just be smart and use ascend on the nearby floors of the Coliseum
Lmao I have 13 hearts and full 3 bar stamina bar and still only have level 9 armor and level 40 weapons what am I doing wrong? How do I get dressed appropriately for electricity thanks in advancedd
amazing, thank you lol
Just fuse rocket and shields, way easier + keese eyeballs ftw
Nice
I did the same just attached rockets to my shields
Acsending so u don't have to waste zonai devices
I js have trouble when it's in the air
About 4 or 5 rocket shields do better
Im trying with 4 hearts and I've died. 5 times in a row so far but let's see
I didn't realize till my 7th death they can swipe their tail
Instead of using spring boards arrocuda eyes keese eyes and bomb flowers attached to your shield get the job done
For me it's rockets on a shield
keese eye work well
why would i wanna beat something easy easy?
Wooow impressive 😮
I wanna hit the like button but it’s at 666! What do I do?!😅
Someone's gotta do it LOL
IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!
Outdated
Bro you spend over a 1/3 of the video talking about springs which you'll easily get before you find a gleeok, just show us the tactic jfc.
I didn't get any springs before I found the dragon so shush your mouth
Finally beat them all but to be honest such a lame boss for the game it just felt lazy
First time in a while that sounds legit instead of bot nonsense. I'm fainting. 😵💫🫨🫦🥴
