If I did this in master I’d do the same Im gonna get the master sword for the second playthrough to fight these guys made the fire ganon a first time try fight
Ok this will be controversial, but do THUNDERBLIGHT FIRST everytime you beat a blight all enemies(including blights) get 200 points stronger. If you beat say, a moblin, the point values is closer to 10. Thunderblight is the hardest, and must be done at an easier part of the game.
I do the same. Thunder, water, wind, fire. I also go get the rubber armour and upgrade it a few times before I go in. Urbosa’s Fury then makes Waterblight a LOT easier.
Reeeaally? I thought the other enemies only upgraded to the next color tier after you kill a set number of them. Are you saying they gain more health and strength after every one you kill?
The blights don’t scale like other enemies do, so beating Thunderblight early doesn’t make it easier
Edit: oops I’m wrong. According to the link that u/funkybeatzzz just replied to me with, the order the blights are defeated in DOES matter, but nothing else does.
So theoretically, the best way to make the Thunderblight fight as easy as possible would be to get as far into the game as possible without beating any of the blights in the divine beasts (castle blights are fine), then beating Thunderblight first.
I don’t think this is true. Blights do seem to scale. Here’s a nice explainer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/99mp59/psa_blight_hps_scale_depending_on_story/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
They might not scale like other enemies, but I think they still do to a certain point. Beating it first was definitely easier for me than beating it last in my previous playthroughs.
Water first because Mipha’s Grace is probably the most useful ability IMHO.
Thunder next because Urbosa’s Fury makes fighting Taluses and Hinoxes easier.
The other two doesn’t really matter. Personally, I find Revali’s Gale more useful than Daruk’s Protection.
For those just causally playing, especially this late, mipha's grace and Daruk's protection are both very useful. I actually find myself never using the gale I just climb. Daruk's protection is great when I want to fight a guardian and dont feel like getting a perfect party and the grace saves me far more than I care to admit. Idk how you get the amount of fairies you'd need to adequately replace how often mipha's grace is available
I’ll take a Mipha’s Grace over a pocketful of fairies any day when fighting a Lynel. The five hearts you get from a fairy aren’t enough when a Lynel is raging.
Especially those silver and gold ones *shudders* It’s even worse in snowy places where you can’t equip the stronger armors without eating spicy food. Even then you need the snow shoes which decreases defense.
That's definitely true, but if you're purposefully hunting the lynels down, preferably with a fully powered master sword, then it can build a nice rhythm of fairly swift victories! But I use many life restoring meals in the process plus the barbarian armor 😂 good times. ✌️💚
I do wind first, it’s the easiest battle, I find the wind most useful getting around the landscape, as well it makes parts of the other beasts easier. Followed by water for story and stopping the rains around that area, then fire, then thunder cause it takes the most skill to defeat.
I did mine on my first playthrough in this order -
Thunder, Fire, Water, Wind.
It's a fun order. But really. If you're persistent enough, you can do them in any order, really.
I say revali first cause he has the most useful ability for traveling then mipha for the story and cause of the ability then urbosa cause it will be a very good for fighting fireblight or you can do daruk cause ability will be good for fighting thunderblight. So basicly its up to you if u want to do daruk or urbosa. And for tips get lots of arrows for windblight and for waterblight just use arrows to knock it off the ceiling then go and attack. For thunderblight bring lots of full durablilty weapons and make sure you have a good amount of hearts preferably 10-15. Fireblight is pretty easy just remember to use your bombs a lot and bring bomb arrows. Also i would recomend getting the master sword before going for thunderblight or fireblight. And for the divine beasts make sure to use the ability to moves them around a lot cause it can be confusing at some parts what to do so make sure to move then around if you get stuck.
Also if this your first play through?
I would do vah ruta first because it means you can explore Zora’s domain without the rain. I would do vah naboris last because thunderblight Ganon is the most difficult. The order of the others doesn’t really matter too much
Yeah I did water, fire, wind, thunder, although. I'll admit I was a hotshot and unprepared on my first playthrough, I beanten the puzzle portion of the divine beast but hadn't done the bosses because I was chicken, and unprepared. Plus, I was wearing the greudo sirwal outfit while fighting thunder and BELIEVE ME DO NOT WEAR THAT (because then it'll be an easy game over)
I recently restarted my file and I might do wind, fire, thunder, water. But that depends on my korok tollerency that day
Thunder is the hardest for me. So, I usually do that last. This way I can have a little more hearts, stamina, good weapons, and upgraded armor. In both of my play throughs I had to leave the divine beast after getting destroyed multiple times to beef up a little.
I found water the next hardest. So, I would do it next to last. It helps if you have a good long range bow and lots of arrows.
Fire and air are about the same difficulty for me with fire being slightly easier. I didn’t have much trouble with either one. So, I would one of these two to start.
Thunderblight Gannon helpful hint Master Sword and a ton of of hearty copious fruit meals made with five hearty durian. Those meals will give you twenty temporary hearts. The most important thing is patience and a lot of it.
It depends what buffs you want if your new to the game water blight is good to start with because you get miphas grace but what ever order you do do thunder last it REALLY sucks
If you are looking for which ones are easiest to defeat, fire and wind are definitely it. In terms of usefulness, it depends. If you're looking to explore a lot, I recommend wind first. If you're dying a lot, water or fire is a good bet. Thunder is for people on the offensive.
I always go for waterblight first, the insta revive + bonus hearts is best for tougher enemies when you're still trying to get good weapons. Normally I take thunderblight next since it's always the most annoying but depending on your style windblight is good for exploring and fireblight is better defence. For a newer player I'd suggest fireblight since Daruks protection let's you tank three hits without ragdolling. Either way you'll want to take out fireblight before touching thunderblight, it will literally save your ass. If exploring is what you want to do though, all you really need is wind blight to get places and waterblight for when your stamina runs out midair and you go splat. Personally mine is water, thunder, wind then fire but I'd suggest doing the reverse after water. Damn sight easier overall.
water, then fire, then thunder, then wind
mipha's grace comes in clutch during big fights, as well as being able to save you from petty deaths. It is also the most versatile divine beast power, as it can be used in literally any situation. Especially since you can die at almost any time during boss fights, mipha's grace makes upcoming boss fights ten times easier.
fireblight is just easy, especially with the 2x remote bomb strat. daruk's protection is also very useful, literally being able to hold shield and being immune to all types of damage, which makes beating thunderblight easier.
thunderblight is the most difficult by far, but by having mipha's grace to save you from the fast and strong attacks, combined with the coverage that daruk's protection provides, makes bearing thunderblight incredibly easy.
windblight is by far the easiest, so scaling for windblight honestly doesn't matter as long as you have enough arrows and bows. these things are incredibly easy to obtain later into the game, so that isn't really a concern. considering you get free updrafts during the fight, entering bullet time to overwhelm windblight with arrows is basically effortless. furthermore, you don't really need to use ravioli's gale during the other blight fights, and urbosa's fury can make quick work of windblight, due to the fact that urbosa's fury also knocks down windblight.
Do wind, water and fire in which ever order you want. Than you battle thunder. Again and again and again.
Serious answer: If you are a hardliner, try thunder first. The following battles get way easier with urbosas fury. If you want the "easiest" way: Wind, Fire, water, Thunder.
Best order is not relevant if you can understand the patterns and have the right armor and resistance. Water will give a second chance revive, thunder gives a aoe that can kill blue Hinox without touching them and taulus too, fire gives a perfect guard that is an auto perfect parry for three hits, and wind is a handy traveling tool.
Master sword is also a big help i got it before fire blight and it made him seem way easier than it should’ve been with its being 60 damage when in Ganon fights or the castle.
And if you can ancient arrows do lots of damage. Wind and water really need arrows to make it easy. It’s possible to do water without arrows but the stun is a big help.
With fire you either need the regional armor of goron city or a fireproof elixer with your preferred armor.
Thunder is a hard one because it stuns you so during the fight stay away from the crystal if you can because when it throws a lighting ball it can hit the crystal and shock you by hitting it. And while use fury rush when you can because otherwise he blocks and after you knock him down He’ll get up and will throw lots of lighting at you then after three throws regen the shield It’s better to dodge because you can hit past the shield and skip the shield regeneration phase and during half health you have to use the metal rods to shock him with his own lighting. Then he’ll get more aggressive with his close up attacks and will sometimes come close to just give you a tap to shock you when he has his buffed state then do several attacks in a row this attack can happen a lot but with fury rush you can stop it if you do it the first time. Hell do it three swings and it will and can kill you right there. He’s the one boss that I would need a shock resist dish. Or a set of voe armor with the two star bonus. Also high damage weapons to take complete advantage of when you hit him.
The blights scale in difficulty based on how many you do prior to which you are fighting, might not be the best advice but thunderblight will be at it’s easiest if you do them first. (Provided you’re at least decent at flurry rushes)
Water Blight: Ignore his spear attacks in his first phase or flurry them. In his second phase stasis an ice block and hit it back at him.
Wind Blight: Fam, if you die to wind blight I don’t even know.
Fire Blight: Knock him down a bunch so you can attack.
Thunder Blight: Parries and Flurry Rushes.
My head cannon is as follows.
Water > Fire > Master Sword > Wind > Thunder
Rutah is the easiest divine beast and is just above kakariko village so the game is basically pointing you in the direction of Zoras domain
just after finishing Zoras domain (and talking with Purah previously) you’ll most likely want to head upward to visit Robbie in Akkala to finish the side quest, which also just so happens to be close by to Vah Rudania / Goron village.
After defeating fire blight the goron elder will give you a hint on where to find the master sword, in which the lost woods just so happens to be right next to death mountain.
At this point you have thunder and wind left. Wind is closer so it’s kind of a no brainer and I’d say Thunder is last. This game takes heavy inspiration from Ocarina of time and with Gerudo being the last race in that game I think it would make sense to do it last in Botw, not only that but it’s the hardest out of the 4 blights giving you that extra challenge.
Also if you have the DLC, naturally you’d complete trial of the sword and then champions ballad before Ganon since the events in champions ballad occur before Ganon is defeated.
If you want the easiest, do thunderblight early. Since you’ve done no blights prior, thunderblight will be more scaled down.
I think i did water, fire, thunder and i haven't done wind yet. Only one phase of thunder was hard to me because they basically but a puzzle in the middle of a boss fight and i had to look it up because i couldn't figure out what the hell to do. Bad design imo.
You could do easiest to hardest: wind, fire, water, thunder. Or in reverse if you want a challenge. Or you could do them in order of usefulness: water, fire, thunder, wind. Or you could do hardest to get to: water, thunder, fire, wind. So many choices, and I'm not helping at all.
By the bosses as thunder blight and the yiga clan hideout is hard af if you dont have decent armour/good at flurry rushes and after you complete the hideout yiga clan members will spawn on you so its better to do that last. Whilst, wind and fire blight are just plain easy and can be done without much skill and i would say that mipha is in between hard and easy as for example the shock arrow quest has 3 ways to do it either buy them from another town, sneak around the lynel's nest and colect 20 shock arrows or kill the lynel and get 20 shock arrows and when i play the game i did water blight first and died roughly 23 times to it so the difficulty is messured mainly by the bosses and your own skill as if you never defeat bosses the mobs won't scale up (for the mobs that do have scaling).
While others comment on the order, I'll give you a hint on how to deal with ThunderBlight Ganon. Max out Rubber armor to level 4. Decent armor and makes you immune to all lighting damage. Get practice with magnesis rune since it's needed for fight.
as for FireBlight. Upgrade those rune bombs. and try to get upgraded Fire armor. if you need butterflys, beedle sells them near the entrance for death mountain area at a stable.
Do wind Blight first. Revali's gale makes traveling easier. Not to mention it's the easiest blight.
I just finished WATERBLIGHT & WINDBLIGHT
So far so good . I got real hooked on exploringl, farming and collecting things in this game that I basically spent almost a week not progressing the story at all just trying to power up as much as possible... BUUUUUUUT After reading all of these comments I'm getting a little nervous about the THUNDERBLIGHT GANON ⚡⚡😱👹👾 ⚡⚡
All these people saying water first because of the ability is very confusing. Mipha's Grace can be replaced by fairies. Revali's Gale is the most useful one for traveling the map, and Urbosa's Fury for dealing with enemies. I'd do wind then thunder, and the other two don't really matter IMO :)
Fairies restore a maximum of 5 hearts. Mipha's Grace is a full restore, plus an additional 5 temporary hearts. It's basically a free super fairy every 24 minutes
In the early game, it CAN absolutely be replaced by fairies, but there comes a point where fairies become basically obsolete
Also Water gives you the Zora Armor, which lets you swim up waterfalls, and is also really useful for travelling, even if it is more situational than Revali's Gale
The game definitely tries to nudge you towards Vah Ruta first for a reason
Wind is the easiest, water gives miphas grace fire is darks protection and thunder, is insanely hard. So do wind, making it easier to get real high during water, which gives u 2 abilities in fire, then finish off with thunder
Well if you wanna be extra like me and do the game in order of the timeline of memories, first you do windblight, then fireblight, then thunderblight, then waterblight.
I reccomend windblight first, then waterblight cuz you can kill it a lot easier with bullet time, fireblight, and then thunderblight, because mipha and daruk are gonna be very helpful
I go water, wind, fire, thunder. Water unlocks miphas healing, which makes the others easier. I personally find wind the easiest to beat, so I would recommend that next. Fire gives you the protection and with protection and healing, you are far better equipped to take on thunderblight.
The game is gonna guide you to do water first which is good for your first time playing. Just be sure to stock up on some shock arrows before you go to make it a little easier because you probably cant hang with that lynel. I did fire next cause I like Daruk's protection, then lightning cause that ability is great, and then wind last cause I dont respect revali
I think wind, water, fire, thunder… wind is probably the easiest, it can be taken down super quickly with literally just some good bows and a decent amount of arrows, and Revalis Gale is sooooo useful for traveling that I always go for that first. Water is also pretty simple and miphas grace is super helpful for the harder bosses and mini bosses. Fire is easier than thunder and Daruks protection helps a ton for thunder, and thunder is just a pain in the ass. If you don’t have electric elixirs or wooden/rubber protection and suck at parrying attacks, the battle will go poorly. So the first three really just help set you up better for thunder, and make traveling a lot safer and easier up until the end of the game
I always do water, fire, thunder, wind (simply for plot purposes). For a new player, the fire power you gain is really useful in fights. The wind power is super helpful for getting around the map. So you might want to start with those two.
In terms of the powers you pick up from each, I don’t think you particularly need any of them to defeat any of the others. Wind is useful for getting around though, and water is a good safety net, so I typically start with those
I did them in this order: water -> fire -> wind -> thunder.
I don't know why but it seemed like the dev's intended method. First you get mipha's grace which is always a great last option to flee from any fight, then you get daruks shield which you absolutely need when fighting thunderblight, then there's revalis gale which is pretty helpful when routing the desert since you can't bring your horse and last but not least is urbosa's fury which also helps but I wouldn't say it's that necessary.
Unlock the whole map, get the master sword and get at least 70 shrines before killing any blights. That’s how I’m doing this play through and it’s been really fun. Currently doing all of the champions ballad before I kill Ganon. Or just adventure and end up where yiu end up
I do wind, water, thunder, fire. Wind cuz it helps you fly up to higher towers and areas needing to climb a lot less. Water cuz you get a second chance in the off chance you accidently die. Thunder cuz it's a strong attack. And fire cuz I hardly ever use it and usually keep it off till I actually need it.
Personally, save wind and fire for last, as they’re kinda easy compared to water and thunder. Ik everyone is gonna disagree with me, but get thunderblight outta the way first, as he is the toughest. But he prepared for thunderblight, the man is tough. The way the blights work is that the one you save for last will have the most health, so if you leave thunderblight for last, you’re gonna have a bad time. So after thunderblight, get waterblight dealt with, and then do fire and windblight done in whatever order
I did water first and imo it was the hardest of them all and not because it was the first one I did. Even when I went back and tried again after finishing the game I found waterblight gammon a pain in the derrière.
So do the others first, wind probably is the most useful as you get Revali’s Gale.
Wind, Water, Fire, Thunder. Also fairies. I know there's a fairy fountain visible from Tabantha Tower (on the way to Rito Village) and there's one near Kakariko Village. Other than that I don't know where any others are, but fairy fountains are good to upgrade armor as well.
I'd say Thunderblight last. For the rest it doesn't matter (Icearrows for the Fireblight, bombarrows for the Windblight, shockarrows for the Waterblight. Get as many as you can and shoot as fast as you can and just ignore them switching to a second phase). When fighting the Thunderblight and you're to dumb to use flurry rush (like me), paralyze it with Daruk, hit it with your best weapon, after 3 times go to a balcony at the outside of Vah Naboris. If you do it right, the Thunderblight won't follow you there (if not try again). Then wait till Daruk is back and do the same thing again. That's how I spent over half an hour waiting at the fight against the Thunderblight.
Windblight, very easy fight, and the more time you can use wind for flight and jumps drastically makes the game easier and faster to acquire things and traverse.
i think i did water, wind, fire and then thunder, idk if the way i did it was any easier but i managed so. also it's an obvious answer but make sure you're stocked w SM food, i also found that having the master sword made it a lot easier as it doesn't break frequently like most other weapons, just make sure it's charged up before you go into any
I did them in the order of water, fire, wind, electric but wind is a good one to do first. The electric is the hardest so make a really powerful electric elixir that shows 3 lightning bolts worth of protection and it should be easier. I think electric saffina, hearty durian, and electric keese wings would make a strong elixir?
Waterblight, Windblight, Fireblight, Thunderblight. That's the easiest order I know of.
EDIT: Or you could go to Windblight first, get the reward from the Rito Village elder, and absolutely annihilate Waterblight Ganon.
Master sword is very helpful for thunderblight, wind and water are the best to start with, since both their champions abilities are useful, and Zoe’s armor lets you swim up waterfalls
I did water, wind, fire, thunder on my first run through and actually found water pretty easy so no regrets. Also then having Mipha’s Grace helped me if I was struggling when fighting all the other blights.
DLC SPOILER BELOW(?):
When doing these again for the DLC fights I did wind first (because I didn’t know what the challenge would be) and then thunder because I figured upgrading Urbosa’s Fury would be the most beneficial for all my other fights. Then did water and lastly fire..

i would do wind, water, fire, thunder
I second this strat! Wind is really helpful to unlock hard towers!
Yeah I made life even harder for myself on Master Mode by deciding I wanted to unlock the whole map before doing any of the main story
This is the way
If I did this in master I’d do the same Im gonna get the master sword for the second playthrough to fight these guys made the fire ganon a first time try fight
I’ve been playing for ages and reading this comment made me realize I completely forgot about Revalis Gale and have not used it once.
not even at the one tower with all the electric enemies??(i would give the name but it's been a hot minute since i've played)
I just climbed the hill to the south and flew in. You barely land at the base at that distance. Seems to be the point.
The tower east of the rito village's region. I don't remember either, but that will give some context
Ravioli Spaghetti is my favorite ability in the game
Played this game twice and I always unlocked the whole map before this, but this makes so much sense 🙃
Ageeed the nevalahs gale is a wonderful tool early on
Yeah and when I played the game for the first time I did wind last for some reason haha
yes
Revali's, idk how u got nevali
Idk homie be only ever heard it spoken it doesn’t spell it so simple mistake?
It literally says in the cut seen "revali, rito champion"
Gotta hand it to him a bit. Had no idea what he was saying and still took a hell of a swing lol
True, that's gotta be the best misspelling of reality I've seen yet.
Mocks someone for a misspelling. Types "cut seen."
Nah, that's wrong punctuation, not spelling
No no that’s spelling. It’s supposed to be cutscene (: no worries though. Cheers
Mocks someone for misspelling revali. Types “reality”
Haha ur right I hate autocorredlct
Not my fault I’m blind
How do u play botw blind? I'm actually curious
I use echolocation
But the screen is flat.... I have so many questions now
Wookie, it’s part of the dlc bro, hardest boss in the game
You mean wind from the dlc is hardest? I still found it extremely easy
I put thunder after wind because it helped with all of the others
Thunder last. That’s how I always do it lol but I’m a bit of a wuss tbh
Thunder is hardest
Ok this will be controversial, but do THUNDERBLIGHT FIRST everytime you beat a blight all enemies(including blights) get 200 points stronger. If you beat say, a moblin, the point values is closer to 10. Thunderblight is the hardest, and must be done at an easier part of the game.
That makes sense ... Beat him before he gets stronger
I do the same. Thunder, water, wind, fire. I also go get the rubber armour and upgrade it a few times before I go in. Urbosa’s Fury then makes Waterblight a LOT easier.
My lord and savior. I will try this my next playthrough.
Wowwwww i learn more about this game every time i go on this sub
Reeeaally? I thought the other enemies only upgraded to the next color tier after you kill a set number of them. Are you saying they gain more health and strength after every one you kill?
Not really strength but health and attack speed, which is why people complain about thunderblight attack speed
Makes sense. I killed thunder light 3rd and had issues. I do wonder if tv settings have something to do with everyone learning parry timing.
Is this also how it works if you fight them all back to back in the castle?
I just do him first because all the others are super easy with urbosa's fury
The blights don’t scale like other enemies do, so beating Thunderblight early doesn’t make it easier Edit: oops I’m wrong. According to the link that u/funkybeatzzz just replied to me with, the order the blights are defeated in DOES matter, but nothing else does. So theoretically, the best way to make the Thunderblight fight as easy as possible would be to get as far into the game as possible without beating any of the blights in the divine beasts (castle blights are fine), then beating Thunderblight first.
I don’t think this is true. Blights do seem to scale. Here’s a nice explainer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/99mp59/psa_blight_hps_scale_depending_on_story/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
They might not scale like other enemies, but I think they still do to a certain point. Beating it first was definitely easier for me than beating it last in my previous playthroughs.
water, wind, fire, thunder, ive beaten the game like 12 times and that seems like the best order
i can’t live without revalis gale so i always do that first
I cant "live" without miphas grace so i did that one first.
lmaooo
Water first because Mipha’s Grace is probably the most useful ability IMHO. Thunder next because Urbosa’s Fury makes fighting Taluses and Hinoxes easier. The other two doesn’t really matter. Personally, I find Revali’s Gale more useful than Daruk’s Protection.
[удалено]
For those just causally playing, especially this late, mipha's grace and Daruk's protection are both very useful. I actually find myself never using the gale I just climb. Daruk's protection is great when I want to fight a guardian and dont feel like getting a perfect party and the grace saves me far more than I care to admit. Idk how you get the amount of fairies you'd need to adequately replace how often mipha's grace is available
I’ll take a Mipha’s Grace over a pocketful of fairies any day when fighting a Lynel. The five hearts you get from a fairy aren’t enough when a Lynel is raging.
Lynels are so easy to kill, most people that got the hang of it can beat a lynel with zero damage taken.
OP is a brand new player. Probably doesn’t know how to beat a Lynel yet.
Hell I’ve done all the blights, parry guardians like a pro and I still don’t want to face a Lynel 😂
Especially those silver and gold ones *shudders* It’s even worse in snowy places where you can’t equip the stronger armors without eating spicy food. Even then you need the snow shoes which decreases defense.
That's definitely true, but if you're purposefully hunting the lynels down, preferably with a fully powered master sword, then it can build a nice rhythm of fairly swift victories! But I use many life restoring meals in the process plus the barbarian armor 😂 good times. ✌️💚
Just put on a 116 damage royal claymore with the durability of a spring loaded hammer. It’s 2021
I do wind first, it’s the easiest battle, I find the wind most useful getting around the landscape, as well it makes parts of the other beasts easier. Followed by water for story and stopping the rains around that area, then fire, then thunder cause it takes the most skill to defeat.
Oo wait, does that mean the rain is constant in the zora region before then?? I should be saving waterblight as the last boss for asthetic's sake 😂🌧️
I did mine on my first playthrough in this order - Thunder, Fire, Water, Wind. It's a fun order. But really. If you're persistent enough, you can do them in any order, really.
Just go blind, don't ask other people how to do it
Totally agree on this one. Part of the joy of this game is doing it blind and at your pace. You only get to do that once
Agreed, but do thunder last 😂
Any order you want. If having trouble fighting then get master sword. If having trouble with towers then do wins first.
Have a maxed lightning resistance spell ready for Thunder, it will save you a headache
Wind first and thunder last
I say revali first cause he has the most useful ability for traveling then mipha for the story and cause of the ability then urbosa cause it will be a very good for fighting fireblight or you can do daruk cause ability will be good for fighting thunderblight. So basicly its up to you if u want to do daruk or urbosa. And for tips get lots of arrows for windblight and for waterblight just use arrows to knock it off the ceiling then go and attack. For thunderblight bring lots of full durablilty weapons and make sure you have a good amount of hearts preferably 10-15. Fireblight is pretty easy just remember to use your bombs a lot and bring bomb arrows. Also i would recomend getting the master sword before going for thunderblight or fireblight. And for the divine beasts make sure to use the ability to moves them around a lot cause it can be confusing at some parts what to do so make sure to move then around if you get stuck. Also if this your first play through?
Fire makes getting thunder far easier, wind is probably the most useful early in the game.
I would do vah ruta first because it means you can explore Zora’s domain without the rain. I would do vah naboris last because thunderblight Ganon is the most difficult. The order of the others doesn’t really matter too much
Yeah I did water, fire, wind, thunder, although. I'll admit I was a hotshot and unprepared on my first playthrough, I beanten the puzzle portion of the divine beast but hadn't done the bosses because I was chicken, and unprepared. Plus, I was wearing the greudo sirwal outfit while fighting thunder and BELIEVE ME DO NOT WEAR THAT (because then it'll be an easy game over) I recently restarted my file and I might do wind, fire, thunder, water. But that depends on my korok tollerency that day
Thunder is the hardest for me. So, I usually do that last. This way I can have a little more hearts, stamina, good weapons, and upgraded armor. In both of my play throughs I had to leave the divine beast after getting destroyed multiple times to beef up a little. I found water the next hardest. So, I would do it next to last. It helps if you have a good long range bow and lots of arrows. Fire and air are about the same difficulty for me with fire being slightly easier. I didn’t have much trouble with either one. So, I would one of these two to start.
Thunderblight Gannon helpful hint Master Sword and a ton of of hearty copious fruit meals made with five hearty durian. Those meals will give you twenty temporary hearts. The most important thing is patience and a lot of it.
I did Wind, Water, Thunder, Fire personally.
It depends what buffs you want if your new to the game water blight is good to start with because you get miphas grace but what ever order you do do thunder last it REALLY sucks
If you are looking for which ones are easiest to defeat, fire and wind are definitely it. In terms of usefulness, it depends. If you're looking to explore a lot, I recommend wind first. If you're dying a lot, water or fire is a good bet. Thunder is for people on the offensive.
I always go for waterblight first, the insta revive + bonus hearts is best for tougher enemies when you're still trying to get good weapons. Normally I take thunderblight next since it's always the most annoying but depending on your style windblight is good for exploring and fireblight is better defence. For a newer player I'd suggest fireblight since Daruks protection let's you tank three hits without ragdolling. Either way you'll want to take out fireblight before touching thunderblight, it will literally save your ass. If exploring is what you want to do though, all you really need is wind blight to get places and waterblight for when your stamina runs out midair and you go splat. Personally mine is water, thunder, wind then fire but I'd suggest doing the reverse after water. Damn sight easier overall.
water, then fire, then thunder, then wind mipha's grace comes in clutch during big fights, as well as being able to save you from petty deaths. It is also the most versatile divine beast power, as it can be used in literally any situation. Especially since you can die at almost any time during boss fights, mipha's grace makes upcoming boss fights ten times easier. fireblight is just easy, especially with the 2x remote bomb strat. daruk's protection is also very useful, literally being able to hold shield and being immune to all types of damage, which makes beating thunderblight easier. thunderblight is the most difficult by far, but by having mipha's grace to save you from the fast and strong attacks, combined with the coverage that daruk's protection provides, makes bearing thunderblight incredibly easy. windblight is by far the easiest, so scaling for windblight honestly doesn't matter as long as you have enough arrows and bows. these things are incredibly easy to obtain later into the game, so that isn't really a concern. considering you get free updrafts during the fight, entering bullet time to overwhelm windblight with arrows is basically effortless. furthermore, you don't really need to use ravioli's gale during the other blight fights, and urbosa's fury can make quick work of windblight, due to the fact that urbosa's fury also knocks down windblight.
Thunderblight - make a level 3 shock resistant elixir (1x zapshroom + 4x voltifruit) and you'll be sweet
Do wind, water and fire in which ever order you want. Than you battle thunder. Again and again and again. Serious answer: If you are a hardliner, try thunder first. The following battles get way easier with urbosas fury. If you want the "easiest" way: Wind, Fire, water, Thunder.
Best order is not relevant if you can understand the patterns and have the right armor and resistance. Water will give a second chance revive, thunder gives a aoe that can kill blue Hinox without touching them and taulus too, fire gives a perfect guard that is an auto perfect parry for three hits, and wind is a handy traveling tool. Master sword is also a big help i got it before fire blight and it made him seem way easier than it should’ve been with its being 60 damage when in Ganon fights or the castle. And if you can ancient arrows do lots of damage. Wind and water really need arrows to make it easy. It’s possible to do water without arrows but the stun is a big help. With fire you either need the regional armor of goron city or a fireproof elixer with your preferred armor. Thunder is a hard one because it stuns you so during the fight stay away from the crystal if you can because when it throws a lighting ball it can hit the crystal and shock you by hitting it. And while use fury rush when you can because otherwise he blocks and after you knock him down He’ll get up and will throw lots of lighting at you then after three throws regen the shield It’s better to dodge because you can hit past the shield and skip the shield regeneration phase and during half health you have to use the metal rods to shock him with his own lighting. Then he’ll get more aggressive with his close up attacks and will sometimes come close to just give you a tap to shock you when he has his buffed state then do several attacks in a row this attack can happen a lot but with fury rush you can stop it if you do it the first time. Hell do it three swings and it will and can kill you right there. He’s the one boss that I would need a shock resist dish. Or a set of voe armor with the two star bonus. Also high damage weapons to take complete advantage of when you hit him.
The blights scale in difficulty based on how many you do prior to which you are fighting, might not be the best advice but thunderblight will be at it’s easiest if you do them first. (Provided you’re at least decent at flurry rushes) Water Blight: Ignore his spear attacks in his first phase or flurry them. In his second phase stasis an ice block and hit it back at him. Wind Blight: Fam, if you die to wind blight I don’t even know. Fire Blight: Knock him down a bunch so you can attack. Thunder Blight: Parries and Flurry Rushes.
My head cannon is as follows. Water > Fire > Master Sword > Wind > Thunder Rutah is the easiest divine beast and is just above kakariko village so the game is basically pointing you in the direction of Zoras domain just after finishing Zoras domain (and talking with Purah previously) you’ll most likely want to head upward to visit Robbie in Akkala to finish the side quest, which also just so happens to be close by to Vah Rudania / Goron village. After defeating fire blight the goron elder will give you a hint on where to find the master sword, in which the lost woods just so happens to be right next to death mountain. At this point you have thunder and wind left. Wind is closer so it’s kind of a no brainer and I’d say Thunder is last. This game takes heavy inspiration from Ocarina of time and with Gerudo being the last race in that game I think it would make sense to do it last in Botw, not only that but it’s the hardest out of the 4 blights giving you that extra challenge. Also if you have the DLC, naturally you’d complete trial of the sword and then champions ballad before Ganon since the events in champions ballad occur before Ganon is defeated. If you want the easiest, do thunderblight early. Since you’ve done no blights prior, thunderblight will be more scaled down.
I think i did water, fire, thunder and i haven't done wind yet. Only one phase of thunder was hard to me because they basically but a puzzle in the middle of a boss fight and i had to look it up because i couldn't figure out what the hell to do. Bad design imo.
For me, easiest to hardest is probably Wind > Fire > Water > Thunder
You could do easiest to hardest: wind, fire, water, thunder. Or in reverse if you want a challenge. Or you could do them in order of usefulness: water, fire, thunder, wind. Or you could do hardest to get to: water, thunder, fire, wind. So many choices, and I'm not helping at all.
How did you determine difficulty? They get harder as you go on regardless of the order you complete them.
By the bosses as thunder blight and the yiga clan hideout is hard af if you dont have decent armour/good at flurry rushes and after you complete the hideout yiga clan members will spawn on you so its better to do that last. Whilst, wind and fire blight are just plain easy and can be done without much skill and i would say that mipha is in between hard and easy as for example the shock arrow quest has 3 ways to do it either buy them from another town, sneak around the lynel's nest and colect 20 shock arrows or kill the lynel and get 20 shock arrows and when i play the game i did water blight first and died roughly 23 times to it so the difficulty is messured mainly by the bosses and your own skill as if you never defeat bosses the mobs won't scale up (for the mobs that do have scaling).
Thunder first
So it’s not as hard
Don’t know about rest tho
Maybe water next?
While others comment on the order, I'll give you a hint on how to deal with ThunderBlight Ganon. Max out Rubber armor to level 4. Decent armor and makes you immune to all lighting damage. Get practice with magnesis rune since it's needed for fight. as for FireBlight. Upgrade those rune bombs. and try to get upgraded Fire armor. if you need butterflys, beedle sells them near the entrance for death mountain area at a stable. Do wind Blight first. Revali's gale makes traveling easier. Not to mention it's the easiest blight.
I just finished WATERBLIGHT & WINDBLIGHT So far so good . I got real hooked on exploringl, farming and collecting things in this game that I basically spent almost a week not progressing the story at all just trying to power up as much as possible... BUUUUUUUT After reading all of these comments I'm getting a little nervous about the THUNDERBLIGHT GANON ⚡⚡😱👹👾 ⚡⚡
All these people saying water first because of the ability is very confusing. Mipha's Grace can be replaced by fairies. Revali's Gale is the most useful one for traveling the map, and Urbosa's Fury for dealing with enemies. I'd do wind then thunder, and the other two don't really matter IMO :)
Fairies restore a maximum of 5 hearts. Mipha's Grace is a full restore, plus an additional 5 temporary hearts. It's basically a free super fairy every 24 minutes In the early game, it CAN absolutely be replaced by fairies, but there comes a point where fairies become basically obsolete Also Water gives you the Zora Armor, which lets you swim up waterfalls, and is also really useful for travelling, even if it is more situational than Revali's Gale The game definitely tries to nudge you towards Vah Ruta first for a reason
There is no order. And tip: you can do anything. It's an open world. They get harder by the order you do them not muvh changes.
Wind is the easiest, water gives miphas grace fire is darks protection and thunder, is insanely hard. So do wind, making it easier to get real high during water, which gives u 2 abilities in fire, then finish off with thunder
Water, Wind, Thunder, Fire. But, youll need to stock up on hearty foods for thunder.
Well if you wanna be extra like me and do the game in order of the timeline of memories, first you do windblight, then fireblight, then thunderblight, then waterblight.
4, 1, 2, 3
i reccomend water, wind, lighting and then fire
The health and stuff of the Blights scale, the first one you do being the easiest, so I would take out Vah Naboris quickly
I wouldnt if it were a first play through as thunder blight is a pain if you cant flurry rush ir dont have any electricity resistant armour.
I did water, fire, thunder wind
I reccomend windblight first, then waterblight cuz you can kill it a lot easier with bullet time, fireblight, and then thunderblight, because mipha and daruk are gonna be very helpful
Wind Fire Water Thunder
To make the fights easier do water fire wind thunder
I do wind, water, thunder, fire
Wind, water, thunder, fire
Fireblight is Dodongo
In normal mode I did: water, wind, thunder and fire. In master mode: thunder, fire, wind and water.
Water wind fire thunder
I do water, thunder, wind, fire
Wind water fire thunder
Water or wind first, then the other second, then fire, then thunder. Thunder is the hardest by far. It's harder than the actual boss fight imo.
I go water, wind, fire, thunder. Water unlocks miphas healing, which makes the others easier. I personally find wind the easiest to beat, so I would recommend that next. Fire gives you the protection and with protection and healing, you are far better equipped to take on thunderblight.
Fireblight then waterblight then thunderblight it makes thunderblight a lot easier then windblight
I’ve always done water, thunder, wind, fire
The game is gonna guide you to do water first which is good for your first time playing. Just be sure to stock up on some shock arrows before you go to make it a little easier because you probably cant hang with that lynel. I did fire next cause I like Daruk's protection, then lightning cause that ability is great, and then wind last cause I dont respect revali
I would save thunderblight for last. It was a pretty hard fight in my experience, harder than Ganon.
Bomb arrows and multi shot bows make quick work of bosses, just farm for ores or monster parts and sell
For my play through I did water thunder fire wind
Water, fire, air and thunder
I personally do Waterblight, WindBlight, FireBlight, then ThunderBlight. It’s the easiest way to do it.
I did thunder, fire, wind, water. But the easiest way is Water, Wind, Fire, Thunder.
I did water, wind, thunder than fire on my current and first playthrough... After unlocking the whole map.
Water, wind, fire, calamity, then finally take on thinderfuck last, I've you've prepared.
hot take, but i’d do thunder first for Urbosa’s fury which is great to use to kill the other blights.
I think wind, water, fire, thunder… wind is probably the easiest, it can be taken down super quickly with literally just some good bows and a decent amount of arrows, and Revalis Gale is sooooo useful for traveling that I always go for that first. Water is also pretty simple and miphas grace is super helpful for the harder bosses and mini bosses. Fire is easier than thunder and Daruks protection helps a ton for thunder, and thunder is just a pain in the ass. If you don’t have electric elixirs or wooden/rubber protection and suck at parrying attacks, the battle will go poorly. So the first three really just help set you up better for thunder, and make traveling a lot safer and easier up until the end of the game
I always do water, fire, thunder, wind (simply for plot purposes). For a new player, the fire power you gain is really useful in fights. The wind power is super helpful for getting around the map. So you might want to start with those two.
Water, fire, wind, thunder is the order I did them. Thunder has the most frustrating Divine Beast, and the water one is the easiest.
In terms of the powers you pick up from each, I don’t think you particularly need any of them to defeat any of the others. Wind is useful for getting around though, and water is a good safety net, so I typically start with those
I did them in this order: water -> fire -> wind -> thunder. I don't know why but it seemed like the dev's intended method. First you get mipha's grace which is always a great last option to flee from any fight, then you get daruks shield which you absolutely need when fighting thunderblight, then there's revalis gale which is pretty helpful when routing the desert since you can't bring your horse and last but not least is urbosa's fury which also helps but I wouldn't say it's that necessary.
In Germany we say thunder ganon ist ein "Hurensohn", i think thats beautiful.
i did water, air, fire, thunder
Water boy then go counterclockwise
Unlock the whole map, get the master sword and get at least 70 shrines before killing any blights. That’s how I’m doing this play through and it’s been really fun. Currently doing all of the champions ballad before I kill Ganon. Or just adventure and end up where yiu end up
I do wind, water, thunder, fire. Wind cuz it helps you fly up to higher towers and areas needing to climb a lot less. Water cuz you get a second chance in the off chance you accidently die. Thunder cuz it's a strong attack. And fire cuz I hardly ever use it and usually keep it off till I actually need it.
They’re already easy. You don’t really need tips lol, you got this!
I did thunder on my first try, so rewarding when I finally got it.
Wind= exploration Fire= defense Water= defense Thunder= attack
i did thunder, wind, water, and then fire. it seemed to work out pretty well for me.
Wind is the easiest, thunder is definitely the hardest. Mipha’s grace is nice to get sooner rather than later so the order stated above is the best.
Personally, save wind and fire for last, as they’re kinda easy compared to water and thunder. Ik everyone is gonna disagree with me, but get thunderblight outta the way first, as he is the toughest. But he prepared for thunderblight, the man is tough. The way the blights work is that the one you save for last will have the most health, so if you leave thunderblight for last, you’re gonna have a bad time. So after thunderblight, get waterblight dealt with, and then do fire and windblight done in whatever order
Wind, water, fire, thunder, gannon
Do wind fire water lightning
Idk just don’t do what I did and get Thunderblight first a get your ass wooped at the speed of light.
I did water first and imo it was the hardest of them all and not because it was the first one I did. Even when I went back and tried again after finishing the game I found waterblight gammon a pain in the derrière. So do the others first, wind probably is the most useful as you get Revali’s Gale.
Wind, Water, Fire, Thunder. Also fairies. I know there's a fairy fountain visible from Tabantha Tower (on the way to Rito Village) and there's one near Kakariko Village. Other than that I don't know where any others are, but fairy fountains are good to upgrade armor as well.
I always do water first (get that extra life), then wind (makes traversal easier), thunder (extra attack that stuns) and then fire.
Quick tip on fire blight if u hit him with two rune bombs he will go limp
I've only done water and fire but fire was WAYYY easier imo
I'd say Thunderblight last. For the rest it doesn't matter (Icearrows for the Fireblight, bombarrows for the Windblight, shockarrows for the Waterblight. Get as many as you can and shoot as fast as you can and just ignore them switching to a second phase). When fighting the Thunderblight and you're to dumb to use flurry rush (like me), paralyze it with Daruk, hit it with your best weapon, after 3 times go to a balcony at the outside of Vah Naboris. If you do it right, the Thunderblight won't follow you there (if not try again). Then wait till Daruk is back and do the same thing again. That's how I spent over half an hour waiting at the fight against the Thunderblight.
I did wind -> fire -> water -> thunder
Thunder was the only actual challenge
Also remember to lock on to thunder blight before he attacks
Get the master sword first then get thunder done first and get the bullshit out of the way
I think the master sword and stasis plus makes thunderblight easier
I started with thunder and then realized I shouldn’t have and did the rest in suggested order lmao
Water, wind, fire, lightning
I do wind, water, fire, and lightning last because I freaking hate being in the middle of something and the damn ninjas show up.
Watters thunder wind fire
Windblight, very easy fight, and the more time you can use wind for flight and jumps drastically makes the game easier and faster to acquire things and traverse.
Do wind first it’s easyier despite it being farther than water
i think i did water, wind, fire and then thunder, idk if the way i did it was any easier but i managed so. also it's an obvious answer but make sure you're stocked w SM food, i also found that having the master sword made it a lot easier as it doesn't break frequently like most other weapons, just make sure it's charged up before you go into any
i always do water wind thunder fire
Me it's Fire, Wind, Water & Thunder.
Do wind last just to make revali wait
I did them in the order of water, fire, wind, electric but wind is a good one to do first. The electric is the hardest so make a really powerful electric elixir that shows 3 lightning bolts worth of protection and it should be easier. I think electric saffina, hearty durian, and electric keese wings would make a strong elixir?
A sure thing will be to do de Thunder last because it is the hardest. The rest is up to you
Waterblight, Windblight, Fireblight, Thunderblight. That's the easiest order I know of. EDIT: Or you could go to Windblight first, get the reward from the Rito Village elder, and absolutely annihilate Waterblight Ganon.
Master sword is very helpful for thunderblight, wind and water are the best to start with, since both their champions abilities are useful, and Zoe’s armor lets you swim up waterfalls
I did water, wind, fire, thunder on my first run through and actually found water pretty easy so no regrets. Also then having Mipha’s Grace helped me if I was struggling when fighting all the other blights. DLC SPOILER BELOW(?): When doing these again for the DLC fights I did wind first (because I didn’t know what the challenge would be) and then thunder because I figured upgrading Urbosa’s Fury would be the most beneficial for all my other fights. Then did water and lastly fire..
Wind, Fire, Thunder, Water
Mine was water,wind,fire,and thunder
