How To Reach The Floating Coliseum

The Floating Coliseum is located in The Depths, an area that can be found directly under the surface of Hyrule when you dive through the various chasms scattered around the map.

This is the exact location of the Floating Coliseum inside The Depths. As you can see, it is located right under the Coliseum Ruins on the surface map of Hyrule.

• Don’t forget to grab the lightroot before entering the coliseum.
• The lightroot is located right next to the Coliseum, as shown in the image above.

How To Beat The Floating Coliseum

As I’ve mentioned, the Floating Coliseum is one of the toughest coliseums in Tears of the Kindom. You have to fight and beat five Lynels to complete the Coliseum. Each succeeding Lynel is harder than the one before it additionally. The Lynels will also deal Gloom damage, so make sure to cook some Sundelions before attempting this coliseum.

Red Lynel

The first Lynel you fight is the most basic version of the enemy and wields a shield and broadsword. However, these Lynels have huge health pools, and you’ll need a lot of weapons if you intend to beat all five of them.

• For the first Lynel, just focus on dodging an attack and countering before the next attack is charged.
• Flurry Rush and Parry will be extremely helpful in all the Lynel fights.
• You’ll need to depend on your best weapons and the Master Sword as well.
• The Lynel will also start using fireball attacks when his health drops to around 50%.
• Make sure to use all Sages throughout the battle, especially Riju’s lightning strike.
• Tulin will occasionally stun the Lynel, which will give you an opportunity to deal massive damage.

Once you defeat him, the Lynel will drop his weapons, horns, hooves, arrows, and large crystallized charges. The second one will spawn as soon as you defeat the first Lynel.

Blue Maned Lynel

The next Lynel is a Blue Maned Lynel, a more powerful version of the first Lynel. He also comes equipped with Soldier’s Claymore, a greatsword; his attacks will deal even more damage.

• The basic strategy of defeating him is similar to the first Lynel.
• You should time your dodges perfectly and use Flurry Rush and Parry to your advantage.
• The greatsword attacks are easier to time for parries additionally.
• Most sword slashes will be vertical, so you should sidestep instead of doing a backflip.
• Depend on the Sages as much as you can during these fights.
• This Lynel will also use the fireball attacks, which you should remain clear of.

After defeating the Blue Maned Lynel, you’ll get his horns, hooves, arrows, weapons, and large crystallized charges.

White Maned Lynel

White Maned Lynel is the third Lynel you’ll fight in the Floating Coliseum, and as the name suggests, this is the second strongest type of the Lynel enemy type. The Lynel also wields a Halbred, which has really long range and can damage you from afar.

• Aside from the fireball attacks, the White Maned Lynel has an additional AOE attack.
• He can jump in the air and slam the ground with the Halbred, creating an explosion.
• You should run away from the above-mentioned attacks and try to get a perfect dodge on basic melee attacks.
• Sages and powerful weapon combinations will care for the Lynel in no time.

You’ll get your hands on the Lynel’s horns, hooves, arrows, weapons, and large crystallized charges after you defeat him.

Silver Lynel

The Silver Lynel is the strongest version of this enemy type, and he also comes at you with his broadsword and shield. His attacks are similar to the first Lynel, but he deals much more damage and has a much bigger health pool. 

• The Silver Lynel can also swing his sword various times to create an AOE attack, which is deadly.
• Aside from that, the fireball attack is also something to look out for.
• However, getting Flurry Rush on the Silver Lynel’s attacks is pretty easy since he uses a broadsword.

You’ll receive the Lynel horns with the strongest fuse power once you defeat the Silver Lynel. Other drops include hooves, arrows, weapons, and large crystallized charges.

Silver Lynel With Armor

The final Lynel you must fight is the Silver Lynel, but this time, he comes equipped with armor on top. You can easily break the armor using a hammer weapon in Tears of the Kingdom.

• Aside from the armor, the Silver Lynel also uses the spiked-iron-ball hammer, a dangerous weapon with long range.
• You should stay at as much range and use your best bows to damage the Lynel from afar.
• If the Lynel gets close, try to perfectly dodge his attack to create a Flurry Rush.
• The Lynel can also make a swipe attack that you should avoid, aside from the fireballs.

The Silver Lynel with armor will also drop horns, hooves, arrows, weapons, and large crystallized charges upon defeat.

Rewards

Finally, it’s time to receive that ultimate reward after you beat the five Lynels in the Floating Coliseum. The chest in the middle of the coliseum will be unlocked once you defeat all of the Lynels. You will receive Majora’s Mask by opening the chest in Tears of the Kingdom, and the item is actually a reference to The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask, another game in the franchise.

Aside from the nostalgic value, Majora’s Mask is a pretty useful piece of headgear, and it makes other enemies less aggressive toward the player. Basically, when the mask is equipped, it will become extremely hard for other enemies to spot you, which will help you explore without worrying about every other field enemy coming after you.
