Link faces one of his most formidable challenges when encountering the menacing Flux Construct III in Tears of the Kingdom. These towering amalgamations of shifting Zonai cubes roam both the Sky Islands and the shadowy Depths, presenting a dynamic combat puzzle that demands both strategy and adaptability. As one of the game's toughest mini-bosses, defeating these mechanical monstrosities requires understanding their ever-changing forms and pinpointing their elusive weak spot - a crimson-marked cube that shifts positions amid the chaos. Players exploring Hyrule in 2025 still find these battles exhilarating tests of skill, where mastery of Zonai abilities becomes crucial for survival.

🎯 The Critical Weakness

All Flux Constructs share a single vulnerability: a specially marked cube glowing with distinctive eye-like patterns. This crimson beacon serves as the construct's core, and damaging it remains the only way to inflict real harm. Players have two primary methods for exploiting this weakness:

• Ultrahand Technique: Grab the glowing cube directly to destabilize the structure

• Precision Archery: Land arrows on the moving target during brief exposure windows

🤖 Phase 1: The Towering Titan

When first encountered, Flux Construct III assumes a menacing humanoid form with devastating close-range attacks. This initial phase features three distinct assault patterns:

Attack Type	Telegraph	Evasion Strategy
Overhead Smash	Slow wind-up	Sidestep laterally
Teleport Slam	Disassembly animation	Dodge toward legs
Stomping Tantrum	Aggressive pursuit	Create distance

After exposing the weak point, players gain a critical 15-second window to unleash maximum damage with powerful melee weapons. This damage threshold triggers the construct's metamorphosis into its second configuration.

🧊 Phase 2: The Rolling Menace

The cube configuration emphasizes area denial and relentless pursuit:

• Crushing Descent: Leaps skyward before slamming down repeatedly

• Rotating Barrage: Rolls with surprising velocity across terrain

This geometric form presents unique challenges as the weak point rotates along its surfaces. Strategic positioning becomes paramount - bait attacks to force the glowing facet forward before striking. Maintaining stamina reserves proves vital for dodging its crushing advances.

☁️ Phase 3: Aerial Onslaught

The floating platform phase introduces verticality to the confrontation:

Creative mobility options shine during this climactic stage:

1. Recall Technique: Ride dislodged cubes back upward during projectile attacks

2. Ascend Ability: Phase through the platform's underside directly

3. Environmental Devices: Utilize nearby Zonai springs or rockets

Players must navigate two projectile patterns:

• Simultaneous Volley: Five cubes launched at once

• Sequential Barrage: Individual cubes fired in rapid succession

💎 Rewards and Strategic Harvesting

Victorious combatants receive valuable spoils:

• Zonai Device Capsules (3-5)

• Large Zonai Charges

• Flux Core III (Essential high-tier fusion material)

With 15 scattered across Hyrule (8 in the Depths, 7 in Sky Islands), efficient farming routes have emerged around Kumamayn Shrine in the Necluda Sky Archipelago. This location provides quick access to multiple constructs, especially after activating the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower. The Flux Core III's immense fusion potential makes these encounters worthwhile, boosting weapons with exceptional destructive power that persists through the journey.

This intricate combat ballet pushes players to creatively combine abilities in ways few other enemies demand. As we continue discovering novel approaches to these shape-shifting encounters, what unconventional ability combinations might revolutionize future Flux Construct encounters?
