The battle with Calamity Ganon will be substantially different depending on whether you've completed much of the game or not. If Link has not freed any of the four [[Divine Beast]]s, then whichever bosses he hasn't defeated will appear in the [[Sanctum]] on entry. As such, he might need to take on [[Waterblight Ganon]], [[Windblight Ganon]], [[Thunderblight Ganon]] and [[Fireblight Ganon]] | The battle with Calamity Ganon will be substantially different depending on whether you've completed much of the game or not. If Link has not freed any of the four [[Divine Beast]]s, then whichever bosses he hasn't defeated will appear in the [[Sanctum]] on entry. As such, he might need to take on [[Waterblight Ganon]], [[Windblight Ganon]], [[Thunderblight Ganon]] and [[Fireblight Ganon]], in that order, omitting any ones already defeated in their Divine Beasts. These [[Blight Ganon]]s must be defeated consecutively in the Sanctum with no chance to save; fail at any point and Link must start from the beginning. Furthermore, these Blights will be scaled to 2000 HP, which would normally only apply when facing the last of the four Blights with 3 Divine Beasts cleared already. | ||
===Phase 1=== | ===Phase 1=== | ||
Calamity Ganon has 8000 HP, but for each Divine Beast the player has cleared, 1000 HP will be knocked off at the start of the fight; clear all four and Calamity Ganon will start with just half of his health, 4000 HP. Like the other Blights, he is treated as a Guardian-type enemy, so Ancient/Guardian equipment will deal boosted damage against him. Utilizing them in conjunction with [[Ancient Proficiency]] is highly advised. | |||
Calamity Ganon is basically a "greatest hits" of the four Ganon's that we fought in the various dungeons and he mimics many of their attacks. He will shoot ice blocks at you like Waterblight Ganon, at which you can use [[Cryonis]] to melt them away. He will create a field of thunder spikes like Thunderblight Ganon, at which you should just run away. He will create tornado gusts like Windblight Ganon and you should just sprint away. He'll also use a slow laser shot attack. He'll also take one of Fireblight Ganon's attacks, launching a ball of fire at the battlefield. If you see this, shoot it with an ice arrow before it can ignite the battlefield, or just run away. | Calamity Ganon is basically a "greatest hits" of the four Ganon's that we fought in the various dungeons and he mimics many of their attacks.

In our experience, the Perfect Dodge is by far the best method. Not only that, successfully doing one sets up a Flurry Rush, and you can get a number of attacks in during the slow-motion scenes. In particular, I think this is most effective when he is trying to strike you with his large fire sword. If he tries a horizontal slash, do a backflip just before the sword hits you. If he tries a vertical slash, do a side jump. With proper timing and enough practice, you'll be able to knock Calamity Ganon down. | In our experience, the Perfect Dodge is by far the best method.

When half of | When Calamity Ganon has lost half of his HP remaining after any Divine Beasts weaken him, he will enter his second phase. This is the 4000/8000 HP mark with no Beasts, 3500/8000 HP with one Beast, 3000/8000 HP with two, 2500/8000 HP with three and 2000/8000 HP with all four. | ||

In this phase, he will create an impenetrable orange shield around himself. Arrows, melee weapons, and elemental rods will no longer deal any damage and Calamity Ganon will start getting more aggressive with his laser shots. He'll also have another attack where he launches his spear at Link. | In this phase, he will create an impenetrable orange shield around himself.

While Calamity Ganon's shield is up, your attacks will not reach him with the exception of a few methods. A [[Perfect Guard]] on any of his attacks will temporarily disable his shield, and you can guarantee this with [[Daruk's Protection]] if available. This entails reflecting one of his projectiles back at him or parrying one of his close-range attacks, at which point his shield will be temporarily down for you to attack. A [[Perfect Dodge]] will activate a Flurry Rush, and during the Flurry Rush, the shield is off, allowing the Flurry Rush to deal full damage, though the shield will immediately reactivate after the Flurry Rush ends. The third and final way is so simply cast [[Urbosa's Fury]], which unconditionally disables the shield for the duration in which Calamity Ganon is stunned. This is the most reliable method for exposing Calamity Ganon to massed bow fire. | |||
When Calamity Ganon comes crashing to the ground, he'll create a blue circle around him and if you are within it, you will take damage. | |||
Stay close, but not too close to Calamity Ganon. We want to be just close enough so that he will trigger his melee attacks. Time it right and do a Perfect Dodge. Just keep at it with sword slashes until Calamity Ganon has been defeated. | Stay close, but not too close to Calamity Ganon.
