King Dodongo: Difference between revisions

King Dodongo begins the battle with a fire attack. These fire attacks are the opportunities [[Link]] is waiting for. Before it exhales flame, it inhales, allowing Link to feed him a [[Bomb]] by throwing it in his open mouth. King Dodongo is stunned momentarily, providing Link with the opportunity to attack him with a [[Jump Attack]] with a [[Deku Stick]] or the [[Kokiri Sword]], the Deku Stick technique dealing much more damage.{{Ref|OoT|756|Kokiri}} It then curls up, preparing to roll around. In order to avoid King Dodongo's rolling attack, Link can stand on the slope inside the ring near the lava or tuck into a crouch in the corners of the arena behind the [[Bomb Flower]]s. Whenever King Dodongo rolls, it always goes halfway around the ring, bouncing off of one corner and stopping at the next. Once it rolls past, Link can follow close behind him. After, it can repeat the process by throwing another Bomb. In the instance that Link runs out of Bombs, Bomb Flowers are available in every corner of the arena. Unlike many other bosses in ''Ocarina of Time'', there is no "second-phase" to this battle. Once Link strikes the final blow, King Dodongo roars before rolling into the lava in the middle of the room. A [[Heart Container]] appears by his head along with a portal that is waiting to send Link to the outside Dodongo's Cavern. At this point, the lava has hardened and cooled to rock, so Link can walk on it.
