Barinade |
Bio-electric Anemone: Barinade, more simply known as Barinade, is a giant jellyfish-like creature and the boss of the third dungeon in Ocarina of Time. Defeating this villainous creature will help Link save Ruto, and eventually acquire one of the Spiritual Stones, the Zora's Sapphire.
Strategy
This giant jellyfish-like creature appears as soon as Link enters the boss room. First, he must detach Barinade from the ceiling with the aid of the Boomerang. Once it's on the ground, the Bari that were sitting on Barinade will come off and begin spinning around it. At this point, Link can use the Boomerang on its vulnerable body, paralyzing it. Whenever Barinade is paralyzed, there are two tactics to use: Either go directly for Barinade's body ideally armed with Deku Sticks and jump attacks for four times normal damage (alternately Link's Sword will work fine), or go for the Bari which may now be killed. The purpose of killing the Bari is to diminish the hazard posed when having a whole bunch of these guys spinning around. Killing some off will cause less to be around to attack you next time the Bari spin around Barinade. The purpose of directly attacking Barinade first is simply to cause the battle to be shorter. The reasoning behind this: The shorter the battle, the less time you have that you could be possibly getting hurt in. After some time passes, it will stop and shoot laser beams at Link. It then begins to move quickly around the arena with the Bari spinning around it rapidly. Link needs only keep throwing his Boomerang at Barinade's body to eventually hit it and paralyze it yet again. Repeat the same slashing maneuver as before.
Reward
If Link is successful in defeating Barinade, he will be rewarded with a Heart Container. Once he grabs it, he will meet with Ruto who will then bestow upon him the third and final Spiritual Stone, Zora's Sapphire.[1][2]
