Queen Gibdo Boss Battle

Boss Walkthrough

Queen Gibdo
1Hit the boss in black form when it enters the field of Riju's lightning → boss will turn white.
2Hit the boss in white form when it enters the field of Riju's lightning → it becomes vulnerable
3Approach the boss and attack with a melee weapon
4When the boss gets up again, it returns to black form
Repeat steps 1-3
5When its HP drops below 50%, a large number of Gibdos appear
6Reduce the number of Gibdos while destroying their nests with Riju's lightning
Enter the light and defeat them while avoiding their attacks
7Once all Gibdos are defeated, Queen Gibdo is going to take the field again
8Repeat steps 1-3 and continue to reduce its HP until the boss is defeated

Consider The Position Of Riju & Queen Gibdo

Consider The Position Of Riju & Queen Gibdo

You need to approach Riju and set up the lightning field while avoiding the boss' attacks. The positioning is vital so always note it during combat so keep them both in the screen as much as possible. Also, keep a safe distance from the boss.

Attack With Bow When Boss Enters The Lightning Field

Attack With Bow When Boss Enters The Lightning Field

When Queen Gibdo enters the lightning field that has been set up by Riju, attack Queen Gibdo using a bow & arrow to hit it with lightning. Note that Queen Gibdo cannot be hit with lightning if it is not inside Riju's lightning field.

Attack With Weapon When Boss Becomes Vulnerable

Attack With Weapon When Boss Becomes Vulnerable

After hitting the boss inside the lightning field, it goes to white form and after hitting the boss inside the lightning field in its white form, it becomesa vulnerable. In this state, you can now attack the boss with a wepaon of choice and reduce its HP as low as possible but remember to stay away immediately when the boss gets back up.

Queen Gibdo Attack Pattern

1. Block Beam With Shield

Block Beam With Shield

Queen Gibdo's beam attack can still damage you even if you avoid it. In this case, block it with a shield by holding the 「ZL」 button in order to prevent getting damaged.

2. Tornado Moves Sideways Then Moves Around

Tornado Moves Sideways Then Moves Around

Queen Gibdo attacks with tornado during its white form. In this case, keep your distance and dash sideways to avoid it then turn in front of the tornado. When the boss' HP is less than 50%, the number of tornado increases from 3 to 5 so you need to move a lot during this phase.

3. Dash Diagonally Behind The Boss

Dash Diagonally

It is recommended that you dash diagonally behind the boss when it performs a rush attack. If the boss is far away, you can dash sideways instead.

How To Defeat Gibdo

Destroy The Nest To Halt The Spawning

Destroy The Nest To Halt The Spawning

When the Queen Gibdo's HP has reached 50%, it will start to spawn Gibdo. You can break all 4 nests with Riju's lightning to stop them from spawning but remember that the nest cannot be destroyed unless the hole is empty so check it first before attacking.

Enter The Light And Defeat Gibdo

Enter The Light And Defeat Gibdo

After breaking the nests, the light reaches below. Since Gibdo is vulnerable to light, you can use it to defeat them but you need to wait for Riju's cooldown time before entering the light. Since the boss shoots beams to attack while in the light, prepare to block it with shield.
