===Four Swords Adventures | ===History=== | ||
[[Ganondorf]] came to [[Goron City]] to aquire from [[Darunia]] the [[Spiritual Stone]] of Fire, the [[Goron's Ruby]]. [[Darunia]] refused to cough it up, sensing that [[Ganondorf]] was bad news. [[Ganondorf]] sent King Dodongo to [[Dodongo's Cavern]], the [[Goron]]'s feeding place, and sealed it up with a giant boulder. Thereby, causing a famine on the [[Gorons]]. [[Ganondorf]] promised to open the cave and remove King Dodongo only if and when [[Darunia]] gave him the [[Goron's Ruby|stone]].{{Ref|OoT|1228|Darunia}} [[Darunia]] kept the [[Goron's Ruby]] safe while he faced unpredictably difficult times for his people, when he received a visit from an unlikely Royal Messenger...{{Ref|OoT|1181|Darunia}} | |||
===Strategy=== | |||
Really big and really buff, King Dodongo looks like business. He'll let out a roar and the battle will begin. First thing to go over is how to avoid all his attacks. What to do if he does anything: stand on the sloped inside of the ring near the lava. That's it. He can't get you there with fire or rolling. Anyways, back to the battle: He'll begin with a fire attack. These fire attacks are [[Link]]'s big opportunities. Before he exhales flame, he'll inhale. A lot. That's [[Link]]'s queue to feed him a [[bomb]]. Toss one right in his mouth and his body will shudder with the explosion. While he's lying on the ground, nail him with a jump-attack-[[Deku Stick]] to the face (A plain [[Sword]] attack will work too, but a jump attack with a [[Deku Stick]] will dish out four times normal damage).{{Ref|OoT|756|Kokiri}} He'll then curl up, getting ready to roll around. At that point, [[Link]] needs to get on the sloped inside of the ring near the lava or get smooshed. Whenever King Dodongo rolls, he always goes halfway around the ring. He'll bounce off one corner and stop at the next. Once he rolls past, have [[Link]] follow close behind him. Because once he's done rolling, he'll face [[Link]] and try once again to roast him. Chuck a [[bomb]] in his mouth as before and slice him up good. (Again, use [[Deku Sticks]] and jump attacks for maximum efficiency) Should you run out of bombs mid-battle, use the bomb flowers placed in every corner of the arena. Using these will take timing though so try to make your own last. Unlike many other bosses in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], there is no "second-phase" to this battle. Once you strike the final blow, King Dodongo will roar, roll around a bit and then roll into the lava in the middle of the room. He will straighten out as he sinks and let out one last roar before finally ceasing movement. A heart container will appear by his head along with a portal that is waiting to whisk [[Link]] away to the outside of [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. At this point the lava has hardened and cooled to rock so don't be afraid to walk on it. Once [[Link]] has stepped into the portal, he will be taken to the spot where the giant boulder stood at the entrance to [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. [[Darunia]] will then drop from the sky right in front of [[Link]] (???) and congratulate him on a job well done. He will then give him the second [[Spiritual Stone]], the [[Goron's Ruby]]. | |||
===Reward=== | |||
[[Link]] will get a heart container from King Dodongo, and after stepping into the portal, the [[Spiritual Stone]] of Fire from [[Darunia]], that is, the [[Goron's Ruby]]. | |||
