For some reason I had bad problems fighting the Gerudo beast boss. To the point of needing the rubber suit, and lots of food. But, the other 3, where dumb easy. I kind of cheated with elephant's. I never dealt with the ice blocks, it threw. I just jumped into the water. And let the ice smack the floor. Since camel was hard. I over prepared for the boss fight, on death mountain. Tons of food ready. Faries, weapons. And then i kill it in 2 minutes. I used pratically nothing. I don't know why the Gerudo beast, was so annoying.

 

Thunderblight Ganon pisses me off with his third phase every time. I had the pleasure of finishing him for both my kids as well. That last phase is pure random garbage. Once you get hit it becomes a mess with his slow ragdoll recovery. He moves so fast while the camera tuns so slow it's hard to keep an eye on him while dodging and evading. A lot of the time he hardly every gives up his immunity so you can deliver the only allowed way to hit him. Then on another attempt the rng finally gives you a break and he's down in two volleys, doesn't feel rewarding at all.

For Death mountain I was already overpowered. I still got stuck on the death mountain one. 5 seconds to get him to phase 2 (38x5 quick shot bow), then nothing. Nothing did anything to him as I had missed the one mechanic that's allowed. (I had a different technique to deal with the death mountain variety octoroks, missed that teaching opportunity) Once I finally figured it out he was down in another 5 seconds. Phased boss battles with enemy immunity suck.

Only the Rio one was slightly enjoyable. It was the first one I did and it was a pretty balanced fight with the flying shooting mechanic and lots of room to manoever. Yet that final fight... The lynels in the castle were 10x more fun to take down. Bigger bosses never increase the fun factor, quite the opposite.


I always feel sorry for the Hinox I met after Thunderblight. Sneak up behind them with a 2 hander, spin attack takes him down half way before he gets up, Urbosa's Fury stun, finish off with a few arrows. They're an endagered species. Silver lynels become a lot easier with that too, while the easier ones never have a chance to hit back. Freeze with stasis+, get Urbosa's fury off just before he hits, keep hitting, climb on his back for a few more hits when he gets up, take some distance when he throws you off and stasis+ should have recovered to repeat the sequence. At least the reward for Thunderblight Ganon is worth it.

You know the worst thing. Was when the lightning rod pillar wouldn't just work, and hit him. The angle was bad, or some other "reason". Than a ton of times he would get hit. But, fall on the TOP platform. Oh, my god, with the cheapness. I swear, the boss even cheated. I attempted a long drawn out fight. With using two handed weapons. I didn't mind. Had a lot of weapons, and shields. So I could break the shield faster. You had to wait for him to hit your shield, 3 times. After he speed dashed. But, if you attempted it after just one or two blocks. He magically avoided. Even though you're doing the SAME SHIT, when he hits you 3 times. I was like...holy hell. I was forced to use spears. That room is unsuited for a boss battle.
