Since Mothula damageless is 25 points this one should also be. This was harder.

Duckfist & Wansti, thank you both for sharing your strategies. They worked for me and mirroring out saved my sanity!!

Tempered sword + full health + fire shield and personally I don't think this is too bad. I had a much worse time with Mothula.

For me the easiest way to do this is using the cane of somaria, put the cube on the way of the boss and just focus on dont get hit, for me the mothola was way worse than this

I thought this would take hours but I surprisingly managed to get it within just a few attempts. Other people have said this, but USE THE SWORD BEAMS! They make the fight a lot easier.

This achievement requires the same amount of dumb luck as the Mothula one and is not worth the stress and effort, especially when having to warp back out and getting the maiden again, just to get hit by the completely unpredictable patterns of the fireballs and the laser shots. This is agony!

This achievement will NOT unlock if you abuse the bug to get the Silver Arrows or Golden Sword early.

Btw, the trigger thumbnail stays up even if you mirror out. It's gonna be waiting awhile since I'm gonna do Excuuuse Me Princess first >.>

Was absolutely dreading this but it wasn’t so bad in the end. Compared to other bosses the run through the dungeon is quite quick and straightforward. If you’re doing bottleless you don’t need a bottle for this, so no save juggling.

You can even exit the dungeon, go into the light world, get the magic refill from the tree north of the village warp, re-enter the dungeon and Blind will be in his spot, PJs on, ready to rumble.

I used the cane to get him. Once you get some good placements down with that it’s just about dodging and luck.

It’s hard, but you can replay it quickly. Good luck!

Yeah, this one is probably the toughest - maybe Ganon is harder damageless, but it's the final boss with practically no down-time between each fight, so is less painful than this. As has been mentioned, complete the dungeon first, get Blind to spawn, mirror out. Get full health for the sword beam; I also got the Mirror Shield and the Blue Tunic for reducing damage on the way.

There is one heart under a skull pot top middle-right in the first room, and same exact position again in the second room. There is then a heart in the third room, under the top right skull pot and one heart in the final corridor top left skull pot. That should keep your hearts maxed out for return journeys if you are going for the sword beam method.

For the first head, stay slightly right of his middle at the beginning and just spam the sword to wipe out the first phase quickly. Then, start moving a little so that when he respawns there is not a fireball going directly for you before you start attacking again. From this point on, and especially for the final head, this fight turns into a bullet hell game, where you have to be almost constantly moving to dodge all the fireballs and flying heads as well as Blind himself,- if and when he switches sides. I didn't mind the fireballs, I accepted that, but the laser can easily end your run as it is so fast and seemingly random. You need Lady Luck on your side a little for this fight too.

But when you beat this, you have dealt with the most difficult obstacle to full completion in my opinion.

Cane + sword beam is the strat. Stay on the opposite end of the room when possible, drop blocks only when it's relatively safe to do so. this one would have been a lot more miserable if the time to get back was longer, otherwise not too bad but roughly on par with ganon.

I just stuck to the cane. You can drop it in her path and she'll damage herself twice. Drop one more to pop a head off. You can also place one right in front of her before she spawns another head for a quick hit. Pause buffer like crazy to help with avoiding the balls.

De vida cheia usando o poder da Master Sword fica bem simples, só marcar mais ou menos o tempo que ele fica passando no meio da sala que ajuda a repetir os golpes mais rápido.

Uma dica: Se tira a cabeça dele enquanto ele vai para a direita, a cabeça vai sair para a direita. Se vc tira a cabeça dele enquanto ele vai para a esquerda, a cabeça tbm irá para a esquerda. Tente colocar as cabeças indo somente para um lado. Vai facilitar na hora de esquivar

Mano... Eu não faço ideia de como, mas eu acabei de conseguir essa e a conquista do cane of somaria de primeira. Isso depois de sofrer e desistir do "bested mothula"

TrainDubs 14 Apr 2025 03:29

definitely use sword beams and mirror out if you get hit so you don't have to harvest hearts. you just need to practice, focus more on defense than offense, Blind is tough!

New way of doing it, making this achievement much easier https://youtu.be/QdBfzCDcwdY

Did the bee… just scare the heads away!? 😮

AkordeP 22 May 2025 13:24

Dude, I even commented on the guy's video ...
I trained this method of him for just over 1 hour (in Save State, of course !!! hehe), and I'm not saying that it did not happen, but during this time when I tried to do this with the bee, I could only do about 6x ...
It seems -
that has a probability (low by the way) of a good bee to scare the head of the boss,
And in the video he can scare the two with a single lol bee
He did something that is only possible to do 1 in 1,000,000 kkkk

It seems to me that the most efficient method is to go to the same finger, dodge and use the staff
