They have the same move set as other Lynels, although its attacks do a lot more damage. 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 and a lot of arrows, just keep shooting it in the head until it dies, since most of its attacks are charge attacks that can be canceled if you hit him in the head. Attempting to shoot a Lynel from a distance is usually a very poor idea, as 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. | They have the same move set as other Lynels, although its attacks do a lot more damage.

All Lynels are impervious to elemental damage, but will usually stop at their tracks if there's fire on their path. | |||
Another very worthwhile tactic is to equip a very strong heavy weapon and a bow that fires multiple arrows. Use the bow to cancel its attacks and stun it with a face shot, then run up to it as fast as you can. Run behind it, and mount the Lynel. You have a brief window of attack, so mash the attack button. The type of weapon does not affect the speed of attack, and the weapon itself does not take durability damage. With this tactic, you can deal tons of damage from a powerful two-handed weapon, and never have to worry about durability loss or breakage. This also is relatively safe, because face shots are made easier with the multiple arrows firing off at once. | Another very worthwhile tactic is to equip a very strong heavy weapon and a bow that fires multiple arrows.
