Highlights
Gleeoks are tough enemies in Tears of the Kingdom, but a player managed to defeat one in just ten seconds using a specific strategy.
Lynels, known for being tough opponents in Breath of the Wild, are now overshadowed by the formidable challenge posed by Gleeoks in Tears of the Kingdom. In this video, we highlight the significance of stat enhancements and strategic approaches when facing formidable enemies such as Gleeoks in Tears of the Kingdom.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom introduces formidable enemies for players to engage in battles, with Gleeoks being among the toughest adversaries to overcome. However, one player has achieved the remarkable feat of vanquishing a Gleeok in a mere ten seconds. Many of the enemies encountered in Tears of the Kingdom have carried over from its predecessor, Breath of the Wild. With the world being significantly altered after the Upheaval, common foes have become more menacing, and new, even more formidable adversaries have emerged.
In Breath of the Wild, Lynels posed the greatest challenge for Link in the game's overworld. These creatures possessed swiftness, a range of attacks and combos, as well as a high tolerance for damage. While Lynels still exist in Tears of the Kingdom as overworld bosses, they no longer hold the position of the most formidable opponent on the battlefield. Players now face the task of defeating several scattered Gleeoks throughout the map. These Gleeoks, in addition to being agile and inflicting heavy blows, possess three heads and the ability to take flight.
A member of the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit, known as CaperKnight, shared a video of their impressive achievement. It shows them defeating a Flame Gleeok, guarding the Bridge of Hylia, in less than ten seconds. Despite using severely damaged weapons, Link skillfully takes down the enemy.
In the comment section, fellow players analyzed the strategy employed for this challenging mission. CaperKnight utilized five Claymores infused with Gibdo Bones to defeat the Gleeok. Each Claymore dealt a base damage of 178, which was significantly amplified by various stat boosts. Link wore the Phantom Armor set, which enhanced the effectiveness of bone weapons. In addition, Link inflicted critical damage through throwing and breaking the weapon, as well as headshots. Furthermore, Link had consumed a Level 3 Attack Boost item to further enhance his capabilities.
Watch this video to see how stat boost effects in Tears of the Kingdom can make a significant impact. By utilizing multiple stacked boosts, this player managed to defeat an 8,000 HP Flame Gleeok in just five hits. The fusion ability in Tears of the Kingdom has undoubtedly expanded the possibilities for players to creatively overcome the game's most formidable adversaries.
