How to Beat Flux Construct I in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Flux Construct I is a mini-boss that you will encounter several times in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. This enemy is a Zonian construct that can change its shape and attack you with its blocks.

To defeat it, you need to target its core, which is a glowing green cube that can move to different parts of its body. In this guide, we will show you how to beat Flux Construct I in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

How To Defeat Flux Construct I in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Once you are ready to face Flux Construct I, you should follow these steps:

Spot the Flux Construct I from afar

It will be assembled as a tower with its eye spinning around the platform. Hold ZR to draw your bow, then press up on the D-pad to select an item to attach to your arrows. Aim at the eye and shoot it to start the fight.

Approach the construct and look for the green cube

The construct will transform into a square golem-like shape and start attacking you with its blocks. You need to find the green cube that contains its core and lock it onto it by holding ZL. The cube can move to different parts of its body depending on its attacks, so you need to pay attention and react quickly.

Use your bow and arrows or Ultrahand to damage the cube

Depending on where the cube is located, you need to use different methods to damage it. If the cube is on the top or the sides of the construct, you can use your bow and arrows to shoot it.

If the cube is on the front or the back of the construct, you can use your Ultra hand to grab it and pull it towards you. This will break the construct into pieces and expose its core. To use your Ultrahand, press A when you see a prompt on the screen.

Use your sword and shield to slash the core

When the construct is broken or down on the ground, you can approach its core and slash it with your sword. You can also use your shield to dodge its attacks if it tries to hit you. You need to hit the core as much as possible before it recovers and reassembles itself.

Repeat until you defeat it

The construct will become more aggressive and faster as you damage it more, so you need to be careful and avoid its attacks. It will also change its shape and attack patterns, so you need to adapt and look for new openings. You can use your meals and elixirs to heal yourself and boost your stats if needed. Keep repeating the steps above until you deplete its health bar and defeat it.
