Queen Gohma: Difference between revisions

Being the first boss in the game, Queen Gohma is very simple to figure out how to defeat, and not very powerful. The battle initiates when Link looks up directly at the parasite (using the view button or the slingshot). Once he does this, the large arachnid drops from the ceiling and attacks [[Link]]. The young hero must be patient and wait for Gohma to expose her large eye. This gives him the opportunity to utilize his [[Fairy Slingshot|Slingshot]] to strike the arachnid with a [[Deku Seed]]. Doing so leaves Queen Gohma dazed on the ground with her eyeball exposed. Link then slashes away with his [[Kokiri Sword]]. After taking a few hits, Queen Gohma begins climbing and latching onto the ceiling. The queen attempts to lay [[Gohma Larva]].{{Ref|OoT|617|[[Navi]]}}{{Ref|OoT|618|[[Navi]]}} However, when doing so, her large eye turns red. Link must aim his Slingshot accordingly and strike the eye, resulting in Queen Gohma falling to the ground. This exposes the queen's weak spot in which, once again, Link must strike. The same phase repeats and Link must shoot the eye. If Link shoots said eye before any eggs are laid, it prevents Gohma from laying them, but if she is allowed to lay eggs and they hatch, the larvae chase and attack Link alongside their mother. After dealing enough damage, this should result in the arachnid queen's defeat.
