For anyone having trouble, I had boomrang [stun] and arrows on other slot. Always leave Darknut's in the center and walk in a cicle killing the other enemies around them. If some smaller enemies are stuck with the group of darknuts use your bow to kill them. After you only have the Darknut's focus to parry one so you knock off the helm, then use bow to KO Darknut.
Once you hear the wizard drop what you are doing and focus on the wizard the fireballs can shoot pretty quick.
In the slight chance anyone is having trouble unlocking the pit... Stand on top of the steps next to the high cliff with yellow rupees on top of it, boomerang the crystal looking switch, hop on the step switch, hop over to the hammer switch, then run on over to the pressure plate switch on the other side of the island with the iron boots
I said over in Puppet Ganon's achievement how the All-Purpose Bait works for its final form, and I found earlier today it also works on the Miniblins. They all go to where you throw the bait and stick there for a moment or two, completely ignoring you! You can then either kill them all at once with a solid hit or just leave them be, move away and focus on the other enemies. Repeat as needed.
I don't know if it works for any of the other enemies you fight here, but yeah, if they're being too annoying, bring plenty of bait and see what happens when you throw it!
Only other recommendation I got is to make the Wizzrobes a top priority. Even if there are like 2-3 Darknuts after you, kill that fucker first, you don't want him bothering you. I didn't have any major problems with them, but I see how easily it can spiral out of control if you leave them around, so don't.
Funnily enough, the worst part for me wasn't any of the above (and I still love the Miniblins, I get how they can be annoying but they're too funny). It was L-Target camera jank coming up at the wrong times and making me run right into an enemy I couldn't see. I think half the hits I took were from that alone.
I also ran into that weapon problem BryanLoeher mentioned above, but barely dodged it. Still cut it pretty close though, I'm almost sure I got hit 9 times throughout this, but I still had fun
One thing I would add is feel free to use the enemy waves to your advantage. Take out Miniblins and Bokoblins first, they don't spawn infinitely here. Wizzrobes should be easy to cut down if they spawn near you. If not, shoot. (just be sure that you don't have your magic arrows set before coming in)
The Darknuts are easily beaten by knocking off their helmets and shooting with arrows (in groups) or hitting with a boomerang (solo).
Moblins are moblins. Boomerang and slice them up. Use some arrows if you're being chased by Darknuts, too.
The bait works, but in practice, it's much more productive to just focus on killing, at least for me. And yes, you will pick up a few weapons, so you have to watch the floor. Towards the end, try to pull enemies into gaps where there aren't weapons everywhere, otherwise it could get you hit. If you do pick something up, just throw it at a Darknut's head. It's surprisingly effective.
1 Silver Darknut
1 Wizzrobe
2 Darknuts (White and Gold)
1 Wizzrobe
Final: 3 Darknuts (White, Black, and Red)
At most, two different phases were overlapping. Darknuts and Wizzrobes could occur at the same time. If you hold off on killing a one enemy type while killing off the Miniblins, Bokoblins, and Moblins.. there's a chance that it'll spawn the next phase of that specific enemy type as well. So, you could see the first 3 Darknuts before the last3 Darknuts at once, or you could potentially see the 2 Wizzrobes together as well.

I did this with fully restored Master Sword, used the boomerang and bow, and worked my way up to the biggest enemies when they ganged up on me. I used the boomerang extensively as it became my means of crowd control. As soon as Wizzrobes appeared, I ran like a madman and jump attacked them for one-hit KOs. And the last 3 Darknuts, I just removed the helmets and just shot at their heads until they died.
No sense in being risky at the end of the attempt lol
