The only method i know so far is to use a rocket shield and ahoot the heads with slow motion.

Can you parry them?

Any way without rocket shields?

    To defeat Gleeoks you basically need:

    • A good bow
    • A way to easily enter bullet time
    • A good weapon to attack while it’s down
    • Additionally, some elemental defense

    For the bow, the Lynel bow is the best, but a Demon’s King bow may do too

    To enter bullet time: find somewhere to ascend, or deploy a portable platform (autobuild), or a Hover Stone. The Hover stone can be attached to an arrow, and shot on top of link, and is also a good elemental shield, manipulated with the ultrahand.

    While in bullet time, attaching gibdo bones is an effective attack, just aim for the eye on each head. If the gleeok is too far away, an elemental keese eye is a good option.

    Have your friends with you, so they can help too.

    Just doing that (bullet time, arrow to the eyes, hit it 3 or 4 times while on the ground, ascend and repeat) you’ll be able to defeat any gleeok.

    I’m not a good player and I can beat any gleeok in the game that way.

    Cheers.

      I used springs with preferably stakes attached then a crap ton of eyeballs + lynel bows. Almost died a few times but I managed to defeat them like that

    I just put eyeballs on my arrows and shoot the heads. Uses a lot of eyeballs though.

    You can use an octo baloon shield instead of spending a rocket.

    You can parry the lasers but since they are continuous, you end up getting hit after the parry and you don’t reflect them back.

    The best damage combo once it’s down is to be at 1 heart or less with a molduga jaw knight’s claymore, Evil Spirit armor (Phantom Ganon) or Radiant armor (glow in the dark skeleton luchador), and attack lvl 3 food. This allows you to kill it in 1 cycle. I think the base damage of that sword is 128 displayed, the armor multiplies by 1.8 (cause the jaw is considered a bone) and the attack buff by another 1.5. This assumes the sword has the attack + modifier and is pristine.

    I farm up a bunch of keese eyeballs (shooting a bomb arrow at a cave swarm makes this easier) and use those to target the heads. If you have fire/ice eyeballs those do elemental damage against their opposite types of gleok heads. If there’s an ice gleok head, you can use recall on the ice spike things during the last phase to get closer, but for the other gleoks I usually just keep trying with eyeball homing arrows until they hit.

    Keese eye arrows and lynel / demon king bows. Takes em out real quick and kind of makes them nothing-burgers.

    So i struggled with lynels. Went on youtube and found videos of link beating lynels in his undies with 3 hearts and a pot lid shield.

    Was hoping Gleoks could be beaten by some fancy parry and flurry rush timing… But looks like, i need to bullet time some how…

    Rocket shield, spring, fire + pinecone… Any way to fly. Let loose guided arrows or gibdo arrows if close enough. Two handed charge attack while down. Final phase depends on the gleeok. Lightning immunity helps on some of them.

    I’ve seen someone say you can bounce thier attacks back at them with a spring shield.
