'''Thunderblight Ganon''' is a boss in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. It was created by [[Calamity Ganon]] to corrupt the Divine Beast [[Vah Naboris]], eventually serving as boss of the dungeon when Link came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later. If Link doesn't fight Thunderblight Ganon inside of Vah Naboris, he will later encounter the boss in the [[Sanctum]] inside of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], where he will be the last Blight that Link faces there. Due to its blinding speed, Thunderblight Ganon is the most difficult Blight to encounter and one of the most difficult bosses in the game.

Thunderblight Ganon killed [[Urbosa]] during the [[Great Calamity]], eventually serving as boss of [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris|the dungeon]] when Link came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later. If Link doesn't fight Thunderblight Ganon inside of Vah Naboris, he will later encounter the boss in the [[Sanctum]] inside of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], where he will be the last Blight that Link faces there. Due to its blinding speed, Thunderblight Ganon is the most difficult Blight to encounter and one of the most difficult bosses in the game.

==Strategy==
===Strategy===
===Phase 1===
====Phase 1====
During the first phase of the battle, it is recommended to stay on the bottom floor where there is the most space to work with. Thunderblight Ganon has two attacks during this initial phase. The first will have him launch some electric balls at you and these can be easily avoided by just moving to the side. Its other attack involves him quickly moving around the room, warping to three spots in a matter of a second, with the third spot being right next to Link. It'll then deliver a vicious sword slash. The best method to attack him during this phase is to hold out your shield, and just before it's about to attack you, do a backflip. If you time it right, you can perforce a Flurry Rush. Equip your best two-handed weapon to do the most damage. Repeat this method until half its health is gone.

===Phase 2===
====Phase 2====
The second phase of the battle involves Thunderblight Ganon dropping several stakes into the ground and then electrifying them, along with a small area right around them. You want to use your [[Magnesis]] ability here. Right when it tosses the stakes into the ground, run away so you aren't immediately near any of them. Then use your Magnesis to grab one to the stakes before it gets destroyed. Lift it up and push it towards Thunderblight Ganon to cause damage. This is easier to do from a higher elevation as opposed to the ground floor.

When Thunderblight Ganon's health is low, it will perform a charged laser shot at you. It is advised to avoid trying to do a [[Perfect Guard]] of this, instead, just run away or hide behind a pillar so that the laser does not harm you. Alternatively, you could take a big risk and try to deal a lot of damage to it while it is charging its laser.

===Notes===
====Notes====
*Since Thunderblight's strategy depends on giving electric shocks to Link, it's recommended to use non-metallic weapons like bone weapons and ancient weapons, since they're not conductive, so Link can't drop them when attacked.

*Thunderblight's electric attacks can be completely neutralized by wearing the ★★ tier [[Rubber Set]], or having Level 3 [[Shock Resistance]].

*As shown in the next section disclosing Blight HP, if choosing to engage the Blights by entering the Divine Beasts, it's not recommended to engage Thunderblight Ganon last, since it's the most powerful and difficult to fight of all the blights. Engaging it last out of the four Blights will give it the most HP.

==Health Points==
===Health Points===


As with all the Blights, this Blight's Health Points (HP) depend on a number of factors, including the place where they're fought, and given that circumstance, the number of Blights that have been defeated before it.
