Special Tests

Ta'loh Naeg's Teaching

This variation on the Tests of Strength requires Link to demonstrate the use of various techniques, as specified by Monk Ta'loh Naeg.

A Major Test of Strength+ (DLC)

This is part of The Champions' Ballad downloadable content. Link must face all types of Guardian Scouts, generally with relevant-level Guardian Weapons, while wielding the One-Hit Obliterator. This weapon locks out all other weapons (although not bows or shields) and allows him to kill any enemy with a single hit, while having his own HP locked to the minimum and thus being vulnerable to death in one hit himself.

Upon completion of the Divine Beast Tamer Trials of the Great Plateau, the One-Hit Obliterator will no longer be available to Link, meaning the difficulty of the Guardian Scouts will become normal.
