Waterblight Ganon was created by [[Astor]] to corrupt the [[Divine Beast]] [[Vah Ruta]], eventually serving as boss of [[Divine Beast Vah Ruta|the dungeon]] when Link came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later. If Link doesn't fight Waterblight Ganon inside of Vah Ruta, he will later encounter the boss in the [[Sanctum]] inside of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]].

After Waterblight Ganon has lost half its health, this will trigger the second phase of the battle. The room will flood with water and only four platforms remain. Waterblight Ganon will create a block of ice and launch it towards you. The block can be disintegrated by using the [[Cryonis]] ability, so be sure to keep that handy, or frozen with [[Stasis]]. As the battle progresses, Waterblight Ganon will begin to shoot three ice blocks out at a time, and then five ice blocks. These can be quite damaging, so be sure to have Cryonis readily available.

After you get rid of the ice blocks, there is an opening where you can shoot Waterblight Ganon with an arrow. After successfully hitting it, Waterblight Ganon will move to a different platform. It is best to just stay put, unless it moves to the platform close enough to where you are standing. Arrows with an elemental effect, such as Ice or Shock arrows, will often stun it long enough for you to get over and wail on it. Just repeat this process over and over until its health comes down. Occasionally Waterblight Ganon will use its spear to attack, at which point, just do your best to avoid it. If you can time a Perfect Dodge, this is another opportunity to get in a load of damage.

It may also fire laser shots at Link from its eye.


If you do run out of arrows, then Perfect Dodges are about your only method of dealing damage. You can also freeze one of its ice blocks with Stasis, and then hit it back at it. You can damage it with bombs, but it is hard to get close to it.
