Any tips on this one. It looks like no matter what I do the first time with rolling threw him I always get hit from him..

sandro4912 20 Jul 2024 07:37

Ok I got. There is a secret.

In theory with one roll you could pass him. However it is extremely hard to do.

Instead do this:

- Roll into him so that you stand next to him. You cannot get hit when directly next to him.
- Then roll again to pass him.


I spend like 20 tries on the single row tactic but with this one I got this on the second try.

Yep, I would say that this achievement is the most difficult of all in the set, then comes Deku Toad's, everything else is very easy as everything is scripted, if you train the bosses' patern you can do everything smoothly without any effort :)

Thanks to your tip Sandro, I was able to beat what could have been a very annoying boss in 4 tries.

Awesome tip from Sandro!! This one took me like 8 tries though because its easy to mess this up!

I cannot sign that this one is the hardest. I found other cheevos a lot harder. With the approach above you can predictable do this in just a few tries. Other stuff like using only 3 Arrows in a boss fight felt harder to me ;).

I don't know what I'm doing wrong with this one, No matter what he refuses to throw the ball. I've had several attempts go into me dodging past him (I think my record was ten?) He just slowly waddles at me never throwing the ball. He's thrown it once after 3 passes, It hit me because I wasn't expecting it...

Do you have to be a specific distance from him to throw for long enough or is it just RNG?

QuinnWasTaken 23 Jul 2024 21:10

OK I think I figured it out? It's something to do with how quickly you get past him? What I did was get close, get the rhythm and dodge past. I think he's programmed not to throw it if you're too close to him for too long? Two quick dodges in succession has lead to him throwing it a lot more.

You dodge his ball and chain towards him, quickly dodge away from him, roll till he throws his ball & chain which should be like a second after your second dodge, then hit his tail with 2 bomb arrows, boom you’re done.
Hope it helps! Using the bomb arrows he always dies from 2 quick shots from them, so it’s WAY easier to do it in 1 cycle

This fight was pretty easy after I found a strategy. All I did was roll to him and circle around him to go back to the side where I came from. Then after being back near the closed door, spam roll past him again. This always caused him to throw the ball for me and then it's just several forward stabs, around 5-6. Then go back into one of the corners and repeat. I was able to two-cycle him that way.

Another tip to add! Mortal draw kills him in 1 hit, and there's enough time to try it twice when he throws the ball.

Cascodius 26 Jul 2024 21:33

Right as the fight starts, run towards him then dodge so your roll ends right next to him. circle around him and dodge back towards where you started, but hug the wall closest to his right side. when he throws the ball itll hit the wall and fall to the ground, so you dont have to try dodging the ball again. once the ball is down you can run behind him, l target right away, and let off two bomb arrows to one cycle him.

Thanks Olra for your tip. This was my attempt following your method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm4-kb9jTjs

WadeB 4 Aug 2024 22:16

Okay. All the other explanations here are way too complicated.

1. Roll into it.
2. L-Target while standing directly in front of it for 2 seconds. This is so the ball is swinging high and can't hit you during step 3.
3. Circle around it while L-targeting until it throws the ball.
4. 2 bomb arrows.

Extremely free.

easy peasy with olra's method.

Letinain 13 Aug 2024 08:23

The mix of Olra's approach and bomb arrows works perfectly 👌

nilrath 7 Sep 2024 17:58

Every explanation for how to do this is shockingly bad!

OBVIOUSLY what you have to do is wait an indeterminate amount of time, and pick the correct time to roll twice past him. Wait a sec, then roll laterally to avoid the incoming ball throw that is completely randomly tossed!

nilrath 7 Sep 2024 18:00

On a side note, bomb arrows are the correct choice.

Olra 7 Sep 2024 18:49

i don't even think this needs an explanation tbh
