Demon Dragon: Difference between revisions

The fight against the Demon Dragon functions similarly to the first encounter with [[Naydra]] in ''Breath of the Wild'', in which Link must shoot and destroy the eyes along that dragon's body. Each of the 5 weakpoints (4 Eyes and the Secret Stone) have 1200 HP each, though the [[Master Sword]] will deal 10x the usual damage to them, 4HKO'ing them at base and lowering to a 3HKO or even 2HKO with a good enough fusion and ATK+ food. As such, Link needs to skydive onto them and attack them up close, though it is possible to destroy them with arrows or even the elemental explosions from rare gemstones. If the Gloom fire makes contact with Link he will permanently lose a heart, though the setting of the battle, being exposed to sunlight, will cause such damage to heal over time, and the only true way to get Link killed is to take a large number of hits in rapid succession. However, the Demon Dragon moves and attacks slowly enough for the fire to not be a serious threat. Additionally, Link will not take fall damage if he lands on the Demon Dragon, even if he fails to equip the [[Paraglider]], ensuring he has a way to reach and damage the weakpoints in the event he enters the fight without getting the Paraglider ''at all''.

Link can land and walk directly upon the Demon Dragon's body, where he will take gloom damage if he stays on for too long, and attack the eye clusters with the [[Master Sword]] until they explode, dealing the Demon Dragon approximately 1/5th of his health. After each cluster is destroyed, the Demon Dragon accelerates in its flight to knock Link off of him, and the Light Dragon will return to collect Link for another pass at the Demon Dragon's back. When all eye clusters have been destroyed, the Secret Stone will become visible and glow directly upon the Demon Dragon's head as the sky turns a deep crimson. Link will then have to descend upon it and land there, dealing the final blows directly to the Secret Stone, which will cause the Demon Dragon's final defeat. A cutscene will play, where Link delivers the decisive impaling blow upon the Secret Stone, shattering it, and causing the Demon Dragon to bleed light from its head and perish in a massive, earth-shattering explosion.
