TotK Gleeok Locations: All 14, HP, Drops and Medal

Gleeoks are the three-headed dragons at the top of Tears of the Kingdom’s field-boss ladder. There are three elemental kinds on the surface and the King Gleeok in the sky and the Depths. This page shows where all 14 are, gives HP and drops, shows the fight in screenshots and covers the Gleeok Monster Medal.

How many Gleeoks are there?

Where	Frost	Flame	Thunder	King	Total
Surface	3	4	3	—	10
Sky islands	—	—	—	3	3
The Depths	—	—	—	1	1
Total	3	4	3	4	14

Counts are from the game’s placement data, and the total is the number the Gleeok Monster Medal asks for. The fourth Flame Gleeok, at Trilby Valley, is the one most often missed; it is in the table below.

Kind	HP
Frost Gleeok	8,000
Flame Gleeok	8,000
Thunder Gleeok	8,000
King Gleeok	12,000

All four kinds have 8,000 HP in the game’s parameter files, but a King Gleeok gets 50% more when it loads in, so in a fight it has 12,000.

The place is the nearest named landmark, or the sky archipelago for a King Gleeok; the Depths King Gleeok is in the Gleeok Den, and its row names the Thyphlo Ruins above it.

The Thunder Gleeok at the Coliseum Ruins stands right above the Depths’ Floating Coliseum, where five Lynels fight.

How do you beat a Gleeok?

At low health it flies up out of reach. Ways to reach it: ride a Frost or King Gleeok’s falling ice spikes up with Recall, ride the updrafts from a Flame Gleeok’s fireballs or a King Gleeok’s thunderstrikes with the paraglider, or fuse Aerocuda Eyeballs to your arrows so they home in. A Thunder Gleeok brings a thunderstorm with it, so leave metal weapons and shields in the inventory. Against a King Gleeok, high ground (Ascend, Zonai Springs) and cover from its three elements also help.

How do you get the Gleeok Monster Medal?

Gralens of the monster-control crew, in the Emergency Shelter at Lookout Landing, gives it once you have beaten all 14 — the same routine as the Hinox and Stone Talus medals.

1. After one of the crew’s side adventures, Gralens offers the big-monster quests. The Gleeok one is Unknown Three-Headed Monster: by the game’s quest log, “a traveler was attacked by a three-headed monster at the Bridge of Hylia in Faron” — the Flame Gleeok at Bridge of Hylia.
2. Beat all 14, the King Gleeoks included. Once the quests are done, Gralens tells you how many of each kind are left.
3. Go back to him for the medal: “An award presented by the monster-control crew in appreciation for defeating every Gleeok in Hyrule.”

All six Monster Medals, with how many of each monster you need and the usual reasons one will not come, are on the Monster Medals page.
