Despite their rather basic nature of attack, Gibdos can be quite difficult enemies. Usually they are found in rooms alongside a wide variety of enemies, including [[Wallmaster]]s and [[Bari (A Link to the Past)|Bari]]s. This makes battling them a bit hectic and if they do come into contact with Link, they'll do two full hearts of damage. Furthermore, Gibdo are some of the most resilient enemies in the entire game, needing eight slashes from Link's [[Master Sword]] to be defeated.

Given the fact that Gibdo's are mummies, they are vulnerable to Fire based attacks. Link can defeat a Gibdo instantly with one direct hit from his [[Fire Rod]]. Furthermore, if there are a room filled with Gibdos and other enemies, the Gibdos all can be defeated immediately if Link uses [[Bombos]].
