Zelda Breath of the Wild – How to Shoot the Propellers Off of the Guardian Skywatcher

zelda-breath-of-the-wild

The Hyrule Compendium mentions that it's possible to immobilize a Guardian Skywatcher by destroying it's propellers — I've managed to do this myself… accidentally.

Stopping those flying jerks from moving about seems incredibly helpful, so I was hoping there was a consistent way to destroy the propellers – every propeller I've destroyed has been by accident, and I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing when I succeed.

Where should I be aiming?

Just aim at the propeller "motor" bit. They don't take much damage from regular arrows, but two or three bomb arrows can destroy a propeller pretty reliably. I haven't experimented with other arrow types yet.
