Tips To Defeat Fireblight Ganon
- Be sure to reach Heat Resistance Lv 2.
- Carry iron weapons with high attack power.
- Use Remote Bomb to stun the enemy.
- Aim at the eyeball with arrows to stun him.
- Use Ice Arrow to deal with the fireball.
- At the start of the Second Phase, use Remote Bomb to destroy the barrier.
Be Sure To Get Heat Resistance
In the Fireblight Ganon battle, you will be fighting in a heat level 2 environment, so it is essential to prepare the resistance. Be sure to wear two types of Fire-Resistant equipment or prepare Fireproof Elixirs.
Do Not Equip Wooden Weapons
If you equip yourself with wooden weapons, they will burn on their own due to the heat. Therefore, it is necessary to equip non-flammable metal weapons/shields/bows against Fireblight Ganon.
Royal Claymore In Woodland Tower Is Recommended
The Royal Claymore is a weapon that can be obtained by anyone regardless of the progress of the game at the top of Woodland Tower. It is a two-handed sword, which is difficult to handle, but its attack power is as high as 52 in the initial state, which is very useful even if not in the early stage. Another good point is that it revives when the Red Moon appears, so it will be easier in boss battles if you have it.
Remote Bomb Can Easily Stun Ganon
Fireblight Ganon can be stunned more easily than others, and you can aim at his eyeballs with a Bow, but the easiest way is to hit him twice in a row with a Remote Bomb: the first hit will stun him in the air, and the second hit will stun him completely. If you hit him with a high-attack weapon during this moment, you can easily reduce his HP.
How To Defeat Fireblight Ganon's First Phase
Aim At The Gap Between Attacks To Stun Him
The boss attacks by swinging a large sword, but his motion is slow and relatively easy to avoid. Although each sweep is large, he needs to take time for the next sweep, aim at the gap between his sweep attacks to stun him. If you are confident in your skill, you can attack with a Flurry Rush.
Avoid Small Fireballs By Running To The Side
When he throws small fireballs at you, just run to the side to avoid them. Since some balls will spread wide horizontally, just be aware of running well until all the balls are passed.
How To Defeat Fireblight Ganon's Second Phase
Destroy The Barriers With Remote Bomb At The Start
Right after the Second Phase begins, the boss will create a barrier, which can be destroyed with a Remote Bomb. Throw a Remote Bomb into the barrier when it starts turning like a vacuum. When the barrier is destroyed, the boss will be stunned at the same time, you must hit him immediately.
Note That Flames Will Spread From The Attack Of The Big Sword
All attacks with the big sword will have the effect of spreading flames. Be careful not to get hit, as the flames will spread a little larger over time than where they generate.
It Can Be A Chance To Attack With Updrafts
Since the flames will generate updrafts, If you fly into the air with Paraglider, you will have a chance to attack with arrows in slow motion. It'd be easier to stun him with a bow than in the first phase, so try when you have the chance.
It Is Safe To Destroy The Fireball With Ice Arrow
Ganon will throw fireballs at Link. You can run away by hiding behind a shield, but you might take blast damage over a wide area from the explosion point. If you hit the ball with an Ice Arrow, you can break it without a blast, so it is safe to use it if you have any left.
You Can Also Use Perfect Guard To Bounce The Ball Back
The Shield Ability Perfect Guard can be used to bounce the ball back to the enemy. This can inflict damage and stun him at the same time, try it if you can aim for it. But be careful, if you are too close to Blight Ganon, you will be damaged by the blast.
Hide From The Laser Beams Or Aim For The Stun
When Ganon has only a few HP left, he will attack with laser beams. If you are hit by this attack, you will take heavy damage, so hide behind a shield to avoid it, or use a bow to stun him before getting hit.
