Usually, once you encounter the Seized Assemble contained in the Spirit Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you must 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 replenish on meals objects that may heal gloom injury. Nevertheless, in the event you skip the Spirit Temple quest and head straight to Ganondorf’s lair, the sport will pressure you to face the Seized Assemble with out Mineru’s help. Learn additional to discover ways to overcome this limitation to defeat the Seized Assemble.

Combating the Seized Assemble with out Mineru

Common Methods

Whether or not you have got Mineru’s assemble or not, your purpose within the Seized Assemble struggle includes hitting the boss with melee assaults to knock it into the electrical fence for an enormous chunk of injury. 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 perfect 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 reasonably than a speedy collection of assaults, they excel at knocking the boss away immediately whereas preserving weapon sturdiness.

For a lot of the struggle, the Seized Assemble will stroll up towards you and try to strike with one among its fists. Though you possibly can sidestep this transfer for a flurry rush, doing it will waste beneficial weapon sturdiness whereas dealing subsequent to no injury except it sends the boss to the electrical fence. As a substitute, I discovered that parrying the strike earlier than retaliating with one of many aforementioned cost assaults proves way more environment friendly. The timing for the parry does come slightly bit later than you would possibly anticipate, nevertheless, so be happy to easily transfer away from the assault earlier than countering if you end up having hassle with the parry.

Word that when you efficiently injury the Seized Assemble with the electrical fence, you possibly can knock the boss into it once more instantly afterward for some additional injury. This received’t inflict as a lot injury because the preliminary affect towards the fence, however it may well pace up the struggle a good quantity in the event you handle to do it in time.

Miscellaneous Strikes

After it takes injury, the Seized Assemble will often bounce to the far finish of the world and carry out one among a handful of strikes towards 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 troublesome to keep away from on foot. Fortuitously, the Recall capability can reverse the motion of the photographs nicely earlier than they hit you, nullifying the menace outright. Moreover, in the event you cancel Recall as soon as the shot makes its approach 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 important bosses, depleting the Seized Assemble’s well being to the midway mark will set off the second section. This sees the boss equipping varied Zonai units and flying into the air earlier than making an attempt to dive down towards you, emphasis on “making an attempt.” 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 received’t even come near hitting you in the event you a lot as jog out of the way in which. 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 units it occurred to hold throughout its final assault. For probably the most half, these Zonai units are primarily meant to assist Mineru, so Hyperlink typically received’t discover an excessive amount of use for them when on his personal.

The cannon does function a notable exception, nevertheless. 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 protect as Hyperlink could also be extra awkward than aiming it with Mineru, it’s in any other case nonetheless a robust device.

The Seized Assemble’s Large Weak spot

Finally, although, I really feel that the cannon turns into nearly irrelevant when you possibly can simply use Bomb Flowers as a substitute. On this struggle, Bomb Flowers have the identical properties as cannon photographs, 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 connected to arrows, Bomb Flowers can flip this struggle into an entire pushover. They particularly assist each time the boss begins flying as much as assault throughout the second section, as this transfer usually prolongs the struggle by fairly a bit in any other case.

If you happen to try 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 must take down earlier than reaching Ganondorf. In that context, there exists the likelihood that you just would possibly run out of Bomb Flowers earlier than reaching this struggle, which truthfully doesn’t make the struggle that a lot harder. However contemplating the comparatively excessive issue of the gauntlet as an entire, you’ll undoubtedly nonetheless desire a good variety of Bomb Flowers available to cut back the possibilities of the Seized Assemble struggle throwing you off guard. Earlier than tackling the ultimate space early, search across the Depths to replenish on as many Bomb Flowers as you possibly can.

From my expertise, the Seized Assemble is without doubt one of the best of the primary bosses in Tears of the Kingdom, and beating it with out Mineru doesn’t actually change that. It definitely makes for a pleasant breather between a number of the tougher bosses in the event you determine to try the early boss gauntlet.
