How to kill a Lynel [botw]

first, find a Lynel,
some locations:

• Ploymus Mountain (east of Zora's domain)
• in between Illumeni Plateau, Washa's bluff and Shae Loya Shrine
• South-east of skull lake
• in Deplian Badlands 
• south west of Drenan Highlands 

second, get prepared,
items needed:

• One handed weapon
• Two handed weapon (spears not included)
• Bow and five or more arrows (any type of arrow but not ancient)
• Shield (recommended more than one!)
• Time and a bit of skill (it will take a lot of tries)
• (optional) Stasis+

Third, the stages
use these to know whats coming next and what to do

• Stage one, bow + arrow (this can be avoided)
• Stage two, charge / leap  with weapon
• Stage three, charge without weapon
• Stage four breath fire
• Stage five, close raged combat

this can be mixed around a bit like:

• Stage one
• Stage two
• Stage four
• Stage three

usually it will stay the order it is in

Fourth, when and what to do

• Stage one,

get close enough so he doesn't get out his bow,
bows do extreme damage

• Stage two

parry for a charge, but if he leaps keep your shield out and doge

• Stage three

 jump to the side of him while he is charging and flurry rush

• Stage four

just run away from the fire (no dash / sprinting needed) sometimes you can even catch a up draft to drop down with weapon to do extra damage

• Stage five

dodge or parry, sometimes even attack if weapon stuck in ground
Fifth, rinse and repeat (repeat step Four)

Tips:

• keep your one handed weapon on at all times
• use strongest weapon for flurry rush
• wile flurry rush repeatedly press [Y] and [ZL] together to increase attacks strength
• shoot the Lynel if its weapon is stuck in ground
• use Stasis+ to get more time (running away, arching, attacking, etc)
•  use this combo after flurry rush: Stasis+ (one handed weapon) [Y],[Y] 
• keep shield out at all times (unless attacking)

Have fun killing Lynels! (hopefully)😏😎😊
