The First Gatehouse is a location in Hyrule Castle from Breath of the Wild.
Located in the southwest side of the castle, the Gatehouse is among the largest buildings inside the castle. The west entrance to the Gatehouse is flanked by two Guardian Turrets waiting outside. It can be entered through its main entrance, from the rear, or from the windows of the second story. When Link enters, the main doors are barred, and a Blue-Maned Lynel appears carrying a Mighty Lynel Sword, Mighty Lynel Shield and Mighty Lynel Bow, and the Malice Eyeballs on the interior roof will open, spewing Cursed Moblins from its maw. Keep in mind that only touching the first floor will make these happen, and the Gatehouse may well be skipped if Link climbs the outer walls and skips going inside.
While this is the only source for the aforementioned Mighty Lynel weapons after the World Level has replaced the other Blue-Maned Lynels with White-Maned or Silver Lynels carrying Savage Lynel weapons, it will not ordinarily drop its weapons on defeat. To make it do so, the player must save the game within the First 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.
For the sake of completing the Hyrule Compendium, in Master Mode, the Blue-Maned Lynel hereby contained will remain as it is and not transform into stronger counterparts as the game progresses.
