[Nighthawk]

The flow of time in Hyrule is convoluted.

[SOLDIER First]

Magic.

The Anti-aging Cream of Time?

[Ozyton]

So you know those elemental swords that you pick up in "blessing" shrines? Are those things you can find out in the world? I don't think I've ever come across them aside from those shrines.

I've found elemental weapons wielded by enemies, and lying around in some places. So, yeah. They're around.

You can find thunder spears at this one tower.
Not always easy to kill the enemies useing them

Aim for their horns.

There's a colosseum somewhere on the map I saw someone go through where (probably due to some degree of scaling) every enemy bar one in the place had an elemental weapon of some sort. Seven or eight of the things at minimum, iirc.

... just maybe don't come in from the bottom. Pretty sure that's good advice for every conspicuous circle shaped area in the game, really. Or just everything.

Pretty sure I've seen a lynel or two carrying the twohanders, actually, too. For what it's worth. Flurries when an elemental weapon is coming at you are pretty spectacular looking, or at least very noisy in a visual sense.

i know.
Personally what I like to do is lure them to the platform edge and stab them with a spear.

...I really need to find that place

Nope, they basically always carry those.

It's right next to the great plataeu.

Yeah I wandered in there last night. Then died. Then spent roughly an hour bombing everything from the top of the place. Ultimately I gave up because of a blood moon.
Can bombs deal more than 24 damage? To the big guys I mean, not the small ones it can fling 3 stories down and cause fall damage.

[Frumple]

Dunno. Haven't paid attention to the numbers when someone that could see the precise hp hit something with the enhanced bombs. I guess conceptually you could go find a large magnet rock or five and haul them over? Pretty sure those hurt worse when raining from on high.

... now I'm kinda' curious if you can get far enough up dropping rocks on a lynel won't cause you to get artillery'd in the skull. On one hand it sounds possible, on the other hand those things have hella' range... and there's always the teleport, which now that I think about it is either terrifying or potentially terrifyingly hilarious. I wonder if they still try to telepounce on you if you're standing on a platform small enough they can't fit >_>

Also just realized I've never seen someone attempt to intentionally train those things somewhere weird. I know they'll disengage if you get too far from 'em, but what if you just... tease them. Until they chase you into the middle of hateno or somethin'.

[Nighthawk]

So... I found out the hard way that Lynels don't like it when you fight them with horses. Though I haven't bothered to 100% confirm it by trying a second time, I rode a horse up to a Lynel and started taking whacks at it. To my horror, the Lynel appeared to aim for my horse. It even went so far as to finish off the horse with an arrow after I'd been knocked off. Yes, it disregarded me and brutally shot the horse dead at point blank range.

Luckily, it was just a random horse I grabbed to get around a bit faster. Still, poor horse.

[SOLDIER First]

Actually from what I've heard, the enemies in the coliseum scale to your progression pretty linearly. I've only been there after all four dungeons and got Elemental weapons, but I read that someone else saw it go from Knight to Royal to Elemental after doing two, three and four dungeons.

West of hyrule field, there is a winding path leading up a tall hill, with a huge dead tree surrounded by a moat.  It is guarded by buttloads of moblins. There is always a great flame blade there.  Likewise, there is always a great flame blade hidden in the lomei labyrinth island, very near to where the shrine is found there. Just warp to the shrine (if you have already found it), then go down the stairs and around the corner. There will be an alcove filled with burnable brambles. Burn them. Inside you will find a climable wall, Climb it. There is a great flame blade in a pedistal as your reward.

Haven't found any respawning thunder or ice blades though.

The colloseum DOES scale the monsters. I hunt the lynel there for his organs regularly. (along with the one right near the akkala stables, south and west (up the hill) of the shrine-- and the two on the way to where you find the giant horse, and the one on top of the plateau that is near lake floria.

However, if you want to try it, the TOP level of the colloseum is up high enough that you can hit the lynel at the bottom with paraglide-bomb runs, get back up to the next level up, then repeat, and he wont get the ! that says he has detected you. He will run around angrily looking for you with with the ? instead. Bombs barely hurt them though, so it would take a LOOOOONG time to kill him.
