Digdogger makes its second and last appearance as the mini-boss of Level 7: The Demon. Link will fight Digdogger a total of three times in this dungeon. The first battle is exactly the same as the one from Level 5. However, the final two are slightly different. After Link plays the Recorder, Digdogger will not split into one mini-Digdogger like before. Instead, it will split into three mini-Digdoggers. Link must use the same strategy as before to kill all three Digdoggers in order to reach new parts of the dungeon.

Digdogger appears twice during this dungeon, once in a room immediately north of the entrance, and again as the boss guarding the Triforce Shard. In the first room, Digdogger is defended by two fireball-shooting [[Stone Statue]]s in the middle of the room, and the door to the rest of the dungeon won't open until Digdogger is defeated. Much like in the Demon, playing the Recorder will cause the Digdogger to split into three mini-Digdoggers that must all be defeated. In the room before the Triforce Shard, Digdogger reappears with four fireball-shooting Stone Statues, one in each corner of the room. After defeating all three mini-Digdoggers again, the Triforce Shard is free for Link to claim.

Two more Digdoggers appear during the eighth level of the Second Quest, however, Link can skip fighting both of them if he so wishes. Both Digdogger will split into three mini-Digdoggers if the Recorder is played, however, only the second one is joined by Stone Statues, so the first one can only harm Link with contact damage. If Link does not have the [[Food]], he will have to defeat the first Digdogger and take a shortcut to the end of the level. If Link uses the Food on the hungry Goriya to proceed deeper into the dungeon, he will soon be locked in a room with the last Digdogger in the game. Link can elect to fight the Digdogger and leave the room, or he can simply bomb his way into the next room and keep moving on towards the [[Magical Key]].
