Very easy if you use the Staff of Byrna and one Magic Medicine (from the witch). Bought four, but one was enough. :D Obviously you want to have the 1/2 Magic Meter upgrade and the Tempered Sword (needs Titan's Mitt) before you fight Blind.

Just wanted to make a note that whether or not you have the Tempered (Red) sword for Blind doesn't matter -- each head takes three hits from either the Master Sword or the Tempered Sword.

Ok, now THAT was hard! Trying to beat this without Cape or Byrna has proven to be the hardest achievement i've beaten so far in this game! This alone took 1 hour. (it's way harder than Mothula!) A few things i found out that helped me A LOT: 1 - Have the Fire Shield. 2 - Have full health, the Master Sword beams can damage Blind from a distance. 3 - Keep attacking, Blind is still vulnerable while spinning and firing.

Thanks for the advice ECS98 it worked great!

I just went with cane of byrna and 1/2 magic "curse". It takes the same number of hits to kill Blind regardless of what you use so just let the cane do the work. Makes you invincible and the ring deals 1 damage to anything it comes into contact with. You can do the whole fight without refilling your magic even once. You can get the 1/2 magic and cane after beating palace 1 and getting the hammer.
