How do you beat Gleoks?

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?

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

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.

- 3 rubber enough? Or do i need to have each piece up to level 2...

  You can get a single item with lightning immunity from a side quest

I fuse my arrows with eyeballs to stun each head, use a charge attack with my strongest 2-hand weapon, and dodge the other attacks. Always use 3x attack up, wear the appropriate elemental gear to nullify attacks, use the sages for extra attacks/distractions. They can be pretty easy if you pay attention to where they are and recognize their attack patterns. Like when their health gets low and they fly up high to unleash a massive attack. That takes time so you need to get up there and take out their heads before it's too late or take cover.

Edit: Also consider fusing the stone slabs. Two long ones 90 deg to each other and a corner one to make a roof that's high enough to just Ascend through. You can hide behind it to sneak up to them, use it to get bullet time, and use it for cover.

- Thanks. I was thinking about trying this. I didnt realise i could autobuild non zonai parts...
  
  Whats the cheapest one cost? Probably i cant use wood.

  There are auto builds without Zonai parts at all, like particularly an instant scaffold that is perfect for fighting gleeoks. I want to say that the simplest one is 9 or 12 zonaite.
  
  That said, I tried using it once but my timing was off and it fell down so I did the entire fight from the ground using a 3x lynel bow with keese eyeballs fused to the arrows. It wasn’t too bad at all, as it was a frost gleeok and my snowquill armor is level 3, making its attacks largely ineffective

I used a bunch of aerocuda arrows myself

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.

- So i tried everything yesterday includidng autobuild shields. Rockets work best...
  
  I got it in two cycles with the weapons i had and barb armor.

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...
