    BAT FORM
    The bat form flies to wherever you are 1 second after it forms. It randomly flies towards you between 2 and 5 times. The underside of the bat form has a HUGE hitbox. Even if you're not touching it, you can still be harmed by it, so avoid being underneath it whenever possible.

    The opening of the fight is the hardest part because of this. The most reliable method I found was to lure it to the side immediately as the fight starts. As long as the bat form isn't in the top center when it changes form, you'll be safe.

    In future bat forms, keep it on the ground as often as possible, and get 1 attack in each time it moves. If you take too long to get into position, don't attack or else you'll get hit.

    HAND FORM
    If it's all the way on the edge when the hand form starts, you can get 3 swings in. Otherwise, do 2 swings. Jump over it once you're done swinging or else you'll get hit. Its hitbox is the main part of the hand and a little bit more past the fingers. The back trail of bats is safe to stand in.

    If it starts in the top center, you're practically guaranteed to get hit, so don't let it do that.

    MOAI FORM
    You can hit it during this form, but it's risky. It's safer to just stay back and attack when rings are near.

    using the same loadout made the fight less of an endurance test

    I found this to be relatively easy. At first I was having difficulty because I didn't know that you could eliminate the bubbles with your weapon but once I figured it out it just took a few tries. Just equip an overhead weapon like great sword and you're golden. The secret to this fight is patience. Just don't commit to hitting the bat more times than you need to. Hitting it once every time it moves is enough.

    I used the Throwing Sickle along with the Skelerang soul in order to not have to worry about being right up on him to do damage the entire time. Also in his default & hand forms don't forget that you can double jump & then press down & A to do the bounce kick. If you do it right you can avoid damage and pogo stick off him to regain space & hop to the other side of him.

    Also you can hit the blue circles in his other form with the throwing sickle as well to get rid of them.

    Good luck all!

    Another good weapon is the spear, which is slightly faster than great swords, and against the boss is weak.

    Playing on RALibRetro. MelonDS OpenGL render is bugged in this boss. Go to software render.
