==Strategy== | ==''Breath of the Wild''== | ||
White-Maned Lynels can typically be found on the outskirts of [[Hyrule]], such as in the [[Hebra Mountains]] or [[Deep Akkala]]. As the [[World Level]] increases, [[Blue-Maned Lynel]]s will gradually be replaced with White-Maned Lynels, and White-Maned Lynels in turn become [[Silver Lynel]]s. | |||
===Strategy=== | |||
{{Main|Lynel#Weapon-Related Attack/Movement Patterns|Lynel Weapon-Related Attack/Movement Patterns}} | {{Main|Lynel#Weapon-Related Attack/Movement Patterns|Lynel Weapon-Related Attack/Movement Patterns}} | ||
There are 8 of these Lynels in the base game. | |||
Watch out if it roars; it'll charge up and do an explosive attack in a very wide area around it; the best strategy is to just run as fast as you can away, or get a quick head-shot to cancel the attack, since if it hits it will most likely kill you outright. A good tactic to take one down is to use a powerful bow, stasis+ and a lot of arrows, just target it with stasis then keep shooting it in the head until it dies, since most of its attacks are charge attacks that can be canceled if you hit it in the head. Attempting to shoot a Lynel from a distance is usually a very poor idea; it will shoot elemental arrows at you, including [[Shock Arrow]]s, which afflict critical damage, and if more than one projectile hits at once, you might die outright on the spot. | Watch out if it roars; it'll charge up and do an explosive attack in a very wide area around it; the best strategy is to just run as fast as you can away, or get a quick head-shot to cancel the attack, since if it hits it will most likely kill you outright.

All Lynels are impervious to elemental damage, but will usually stop at their tracks if there's fire on their path. | |||
At least half of these Lynels will be located at cold areas like the [[Tabantha Tundra]] and the [[Gerudo Highlands]], so cold resistance is recommended, including elixirs, foods and armor. Also, since they will be in the presence of snow, it's recommended to wear the [[Snow Boots]] so that Link's minimum sprinting speed is not hindered. | At least half of these Lynels will be located at cold areas like the [[Tabantha Tundra]] and the [[Gerudo Highlands]], so cold resistance is recommended, including elixirs, foods and armor.

* '''Note:''' The White-Maned Lynel in the [[Second Gatehouse]] at [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], which does not upgrade with [[World Level]], will not ordinarily drop its weapons on defeat. To make it do so, the player must save the game within the Second Gatehouse ''and'' reload from this save ''before'' killing the Lynel. The player can then kill the Lynel and it will drop the weapons in line with Lynels elsewhere in the game. | |||

* In [[Master Mode]], a White-Maned Lynel is the strongest enemy found in the [[Great Plateau]], pacing just southeast from the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]], and can be encountered while Link makes his way south to the [[Owa Daim Shrine]]. As it's found so uncharacteristically early in the game, it's nearly impossible to engage it in combat from the outset, making it a fool's errand, as there's little to no equipment and weapons effective enough to slay it. | * In [[Master Mode]], a White-Maned Lynel is the strongest enemy found in the [[Great Plateau]], pacing just southeast from the [[Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)|Temple of Time]], and can be encountered while Link makes his way south to the [[Owa Daim Shrine]].

*A spear-wielding White-Maned Lynel is one of the bosses of the last section of the [[Trial of the Sword#Final Trial|Final Trial of the Trial of the Sword]] (Floor 23), and last section of the Trial of the Sword as a whole. In [[Master Mode]], this Lynel is in turn a [[Silver Lynel]]. | |||

White-Maned Lynels reappear from ''Breath of the Wild'' and remain present for the entire game, with adjusted enemy balancing allowing for each of every type of Lynel to share overworld space with each other at the same time. White-Maned Lynels will always be found on [[Kamah Plateau]] and [[Risoka Snowfield]], and gloom-covered White-Maned Lynels found in the depths next to the [[Kawakanis Lightroot]] and the [[Sohse Lightroot]]. A White-Maned Lynel is also the third opponent fought in the [[Floating Coliseum]], alongside a Red and Blue-Maned Lynel and two Silver Lynels. | |||
They carry over many of their characteristics from ''Breath of the Wild'' with the most notable differences being that they now drop [[White-Maned Lynel Saber Horn]]s and [[White-Maned Lynel Mace Horn]]s upon defeat, and that in the Depths they will be encountered clad in rock armor, becoming stunned for a moment once it's broken apart. [[Lynel Hoof]]s and [[Lynel Guts]] will also be dropped, along with a variety of higher level unfused basic weapons, plus [[Savage Lynel Bow]]s and [[Savage Lynel Shield]]s. | |||
