The Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Flux Construct Core 1 boss is challenging. It can wipe out the Hero of Time within one hit, especially if you're attempting to eliminate it early on. The key to succeeding is to keep your distance and stun it with your bow and arrow. Make sure you are equipped with many arrows before attempting this battle.

Aim your arrow at the green block that has an eye on it. When it's stunned, hit the boss with your strongest weapon once or twice. 

As the Flux Construct Core returns to its feet, run away and hit the boss with the bow and arrow once more. Rinse and repeat this process until you get to the second phase of the fight.

The Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Flux Construct Core 1 boss is actually quite strange. The second phase is usually tougher, but this is oddly the easy part. As it forms into a square in the air, keep hitting it with your bow and arrow.

Spot the green box that looks like glass breaking. If you run out of arrows, you may want to throw your weapons at it. You can also pick up arrows from the ground, but keep an eye on the boss for its attacks while doing so.
