I love fighting Lynels and I’ve got about 5-6 on my roster that I’ll regularly visit to kill them for their weapons (or for sport) between every blood moon. I’ve noticed as I progressed through the game they all eventually turned into White-maned Lynels, but it’s been quite some time now and none of them have turned Silver (besides the one in the colosseum which I think is always silver no matter what, I’m not sure?)
I also see people post here with Lynel weapons close to or above 100 dmg, but I’ve only ever picked up Savage Lynel Swords with 58dmg, Crushers at 78, Spears at 30, and only occasionally one will have a Durability buff.
Any idea what’s going on here? I’ve finished all divine beasts, completed every shrine, and feel like I’ve fought plenty of enemies over the course of the game for them to level to the strongest variants. I think the only silver enemy I ever see are bokoblins.
