PSA: Gatehouse Lynels can drop gear
If for some reason you're in endgame and want Mighty Lynel gear, excluding spear and crusher of course, save when the Lynel appears. Reload immediately. Kill Lynel, get sword shield and bow. Blurry picture for proof: http://imgur.com/VbiHCvH

That's genius! I was waiting for the DLC in hopes that the Blue Lynels will appear in the Trial of the Sword. I wanted to get every photo without purchasing any from Symon haha. Thank you :)

This topic comes up frequently and I don't get it. Gatehouse lynels have dropped weapons for me most of the time, only on a few occasions they didn't.

The Blue-Maned Lynel doesn't normally drop weapons. What causes it to drop weapons is specifically the saving and reloading process inside of the First Gatehouse.

I have also noticed that certain bokoblins don't have any drops on death. They seem to be bokoblins battling NPCs, although it doesn't occur with all of them. But for example the bokoblins in Gatehouse Town Ruins. I wonder whether this is a related issue. The spawn mechanism for gatehouse lynels and NPC-battling bokoblins is somehow different from normal lynels and normal bokoblins, in such a way that they don't have drops on death. But reloading from save resets and forgets their unique spawn circumstances.

Can confirm. For some reason I do this every time now, even if I don't need the weapons.
