Template:Boss Gleerok is a boss in The Minish Cap encountered in the cave of flames. Link uses the cane of pacci to expose his weak point (under his shell). Link obtains the fire element upon his defeat.


Pre-Battle

When you open the Boss door, you will enter a room with a few pots and a large hole in the floor. When you fall down the hole, you'll enter the battlefield. A room with nothing but a square pit of lava in the center. Gleerok will slowly rise up from the lava and roar.

Battle

-The battle will begin with Gleerok shooting fire balls at you. Dodge these fire balls as best you can and circle around Gleerok. When you have a clear shot, use your Cane of Pacci to flip his back shell over. The shell will land on him and break while he will fall down, stunned. Run up Gleerok's neck to the small crystal on his back and slash like crazy at it. Eventually, you won't be able to hit the crystal anymore. When this happens, run back up his neck to the main land. He will ease into the lava and blocks will fall from the ceiling. If you did enough damage, the lava in the center of the room will rise up, leaving only one strip of safe land around the room. The lava will fall back down, eventually, and Gleerok will come back up.

-Gleerok will shoot a continuous wave of fire on one side of the arena, so just stay away from there and you should be fine. In this round, Gleerok will move around a little bit faster and shoot fire balls a little more often. Just move around him again and shoot his back with the Cane of Pacci. He will fall down again, so run up his neck and slash the crystal again. Run off his back before he can sink in to the lava. The blocks will fall again and the lava will rise again, so just avoid it as normal. Gleerok will rise out of the lava again.

-This time around, Gleerok will shoot continuous flames at two sides, so look out. He will also spin around a lot faster. Otherwise, the fight is the same. Flip his shell and slash his back crystal. After he has taken enough hits, the screen will go white and you and him will appear at the bottom part of the arena. Gleerok will start exploding and eventually blow up into a cartoony puff.

-The lava will harden and Link will walk into the center of the room. The Fire Element will float down to Link's hands. Congratulations on your second element. A heart container and a warp tile will appear at the top of the room. Grab the heart container(if you want it) and head through the warp tile to go back to the entrance of the dungeon.
