Usually, whenever you encounter the Seized Assemble contained in the Spirit Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you need to take it down utilizing Mineru’s assemble. However curiously, the builders designed the struggle to be beatable utilizing Hyperlink’s customary moveset. Doing so within the Spirit Temple enviornment will show fairly impractical, although, because the gloom-coated flooring forces gamers to both use Mineru or fill up on meals gadgets that may heal gloom harm. Nonetheless, in the event you skip the Spirit Temple quest and head straight to Ganondorf’s lair, the sport will power you to face the Seized Assemble with out Mineru’s assist. Learn additional to learn to overcome this limitation to defeat the Seized Assemble.
Preventing the Seized Assemble with out Mineru
Common Methods
Whether or not you’ve gotten Mineru’s assemble or not, your objective within the Seized Assemble struggle includes hitting the boss with melee assaults to knock it into the electrical fence for an enormous chunk of harm. However whereas any melee assault with Mineru would ultimately knock the Seized Assemble again, Hyperlink can solely ship it again by touchdown the ultimate hit of a combo or a cost assault. The very best strikes to do that with are the cost assaults for both one-handed weapons or the Eightfold Longblade. Since these strikes take the type of a single, highly effective strike relatively than a fast sequence of assaults, they excel at knocking the boss away straight away whereas preserving weapon sturdiness.
For a lot of the struggle, the Seized Assemble will stroll up towards you and try and strike with one in every of its fists. Though you possibly can sidestep this transfer for a flurry rush, doing this can waste useful weapon sturdiness whereas dealing subsequent to no harm until it sends the boss to the electrical fence. As an alternative, I discovered that parrying the strike earlier than retaliating with one of many aforementioned cost assaults proves far more environment friendly. The timing for the parry does come slightly bit later than you may count on, nonetheless, so be happy to easily transfer away from the assault earlier than countering if you end up having bother with the parry.
Be aware that after you efficiently harm the Seized Assemble with the electrical fence, you possibly can knock the boss into it once more instantly afterward for some additional harm. This gained’t inflict as a lot harm because the preliminary influence in opposition to the fence, however it could actually pace up the struggle a good quantity in the event you handle to do it in time.
Miscellaneous Strikes
After it takes harm, the Seized Assemble will normally soar to the far finish of the sector and carry out one in every of a handful of strikes in opposition to you. The one one you really want to be careful for is when the Seized Assemble attaches two cannons to its arms, because the blast radius of every cannon shot is tough to keep away from on foot. Luckily, the Recall means can reverse the motion of the pictures properly earlier than they hit you, nullifying the risk outright. Moreover, in the event you cancel Recall as soon as the shot makes its manner again to the Seized Assemble, it should explode and stun the boss, permitting you to smack it into the fence as soon as extra.
As with the opposite foremost bosses, depleting the Seized Assemble’s well being to the midway mark will set off the second part. This sees the boss equipping varied Zonai gadgets and flying into the air earlier than trying to dive down towards you, emphasis on “trying.” Seeing the boss fly up might look intimidating, however for the reason that struggle is designed primarily across the gradual motion of Mineru’s assemble, the assault gained’t even come near hitting you in the event you a lot as jog out of the best way. And naturally, dodging it efficiently will depart the Seized Assemble open for an additional journey to the electrical fence.
Utilizing Zonai Gadgets
Each time the boss hits the fence, it should drop no matter Zonai gadgets it occurred to hold throughout its final assault. For essentially the most half, these Zonai gadgets are primarily meant to assist Mineru, so Hyperlink usually gained’t discover an excessive amount of use for them when on his personal.
The cannon does function a notable exception, nonetheless. When controlling Mineru’s assemble, the cannon turns into the final word Achilles heel for the Seized Assemble, in a position to interrupt it out of any assault. Though working a cannon with Ultrahand or attaching it to a weapon or defend as Hyperlink could also be extra awkward than aiming it with Mineru, it’s in any other case nonetheless a robust software.
The Seized Assemble’s Large Weak spot
In the end, although, I really feel that the cannon turns into nearly irrelevant when you possibly can simply use Bomb Flowers as an alternative. On this struggle, Bomb Flowers have the identical properties as cannon pictures, that means they will instantly stun the Seized Assemble for yet one more electrical fence assault in the event that they join, it doesn’t matter what the boss chooses to do. When hooked up to arrows, Bomb Flowers can flip this struggle into a whole pushover. They particularly assist each time the boss begins flying as much as assault in the course of the second part, as this transfer usually prolongs the struggle by fairly a bit in any other case.
For those who attempt to full the ultimate part of the sport early with out doing any of the temples beforehand, the Seized Assemble will function the fifth struggle within the gauntlet of bosses you need to take down earlier than reaching Ganondorf. In that context, there exists the likelihood that you just may run out of Bomb Flowers earlier than reaching this struggle, which actually doesn’t make the struggle that a lot harder. However contemplating the comparatively excessive issue of the gauntlet as a complete, you’ll undoubtedly nonetheless desire a good variety of Bomb Flowers available to scale back the probabilities of the Seized Assemble struggle throwing you off guard. Earlier than tackling the ultimate space early, search across the Depths to fill up on as many Bomb Flowers as you possibly can.
From my expertise, the Seized Assemble is among the best of the primary bosses in Tears of the Kingdom, and beating it with out Mineru doesn’t actually change that. It actually makes for a pleasant breather between among the harder bosses in the event you determine to aim the early boss gauntlet.
