Got it though because complaining works

Ok, this achievement is aweful, the camera and z-targeting is too inconsistent. I finally got it.

Phase 1. Move in on Barinade and Z-lock on his tentacles on the ceiling. Throw your boomerang and move sideways. When you have your boomerang back, Z-lock on the next. After hitting the 3rd tentacle, move to the wall as quickly as possible.

Phase 2. The rotating Bari (jellyfish things) can't hit you if you are against the wall. Z-lock on Barinade and look for an opening while the Bari are rotating. Move in and hit him with a boomerang. Then hit him 5 times with your sword and immediately dodge back.

Phase 3. This can get tricky because Barinade can chase you down and will hit you against the wall. Try to get a z-lock on as soon as possible and keep moving sideways and back while continuously throwing your boomerang. Once he is stunned, try to get a Z-lock on on one of the Bari and hit it with a boomerang. If you are lucky with the Z-lock on, you may get 2 or 3 in a single stun. Don't rush it though and watch out for the electricity beams. It's better to stay safe and do 1 at a time. Once you are ready to hit the last Bari, try to get hit it while keeping a bigger distance from Barinade.

Phase 4. If you are too close to Barinade, he will immediatly zap you with lighting, so get some distance and then try to get the Z-lock on on Barinade. Keep moving sideways around him while trying to time a boomerang throw to hit him. Once hit, move in immediately and start slashing with your sword until he burries into the ground. Keep moving sideways to avoid the electricity. Keep an eye on the tentacles that shoot them. Once he gets out of the ground and starts moving again, repeat this step 2 more times and the boss will be dead.

Using a PS3 controller. This is not great. I can’t even sense myself making progress. Z-targeting and crouchstab seem to only work on weekdays. I don’t get it.

Finally!

This is a level of pain I haven't felt since I played OOT S-Edition; I almost gave up on hardcore because of this

I agree even for someone who beat the game easily 30 times this was kinda hell. For sure the hardest cheevo in the set for me.

This was an awesome challenge, probably took me 10 attempts. I used the farores wind in the room before the boss to quickly get back there each attempt.

Whew, that took a few tries but I finally got it!

PrimalLust 30 Nov 2024 17:37

Set Farores wind so you can return directly to the room before the boss if you fail and have to reset (Still have to hit the boomerang switch at the beginning, but not having to walk to the room is nice. Also, this achievement is how I found out that you can even get Farores Wind as Child Link xD )

4th try. Getting the tentacles off the roof is easy enough. Start of second phase, plant your back against the wall like someone else said, the swinging jellies can't hit you.

Now, instead of boomeranging each individual jelly, use Deku Nuts (I'm sure someone else mentioned them) You can get two at a time this way, maybe even 3 of you're lucky.

Phase 3, spam the boomerang at him when he's defending himself, one throw might get through and make it shorter. Spam Deku Nuts at the jellies again until they are all gone. I like to lock on to Barinade and continuously sidestep to avoid his lightning beams.

Phase 4 is straight forward. Sidestep his beams as he shoots, and try not to get trapped against the wall, and only throw the boomerang if you're confident you'll hit him.

Some have said crouch stab to damage, but I get nervous so I instead substituted in Deku Stick Jump Attacks for the damage aspect at the end. It takes 3 I believe.

Good Luck everyone!

The worst bit is having to stay to the side during phase 2 and NOT getting hit by his counter attack at the end. Phase 3 and 4 are actually pretty straightforward, if nerve biting. Follow the advice in this thread (a weirdly complicated fight!) and it is easy. I recommend seeing the whole battle through a few times so you get the hang of it, rather than restart as soon as you fail.

Man after beating the speedrun achievment this is sooo easy I can't lie

PALQNYT 12 Feb 2025 14:03

Lol, I got this one, even though I got hit once but no damage lol

DRPille 16 Feb 2025 21:26

As some already wrote down some solutions. The most important thing is patience. Do every thing safely. It will not help to rush anything.

Matthe815 25 Mar 2025 06:08

That was a fun challenge. Third try. The important thing is to keep moving when the light bolts are flying, and be patient and be ready to take your chance.

My favorite part about this achievement was how amazing well Z targeting is in this game. I mean this right here is why OOT is the GOAT right. Nothing flawed or rage inducing at all. What a fantastic amazing lovely fun achievement this was.... <33333333333333333333333333333333333........

I will say though once you actually understand how this fight goes, it is not that hard, you know, in theory.

Whooaaaaaawhwhw this achievement took me way more attempts than needed, super tricky
