Welcome back! Last time, we covered the Deku Tree battle. This time, we will be in Dodongo's Cavern! I hope you have that Hylian Shield, because you're gonna need it! ;P

Overview

Just like with Queen Gohma, once you enter the room, you're dedicated to fight! This is another classic fight, as it was slightly used in the first LoZ game. Again, it's another "wash-rinse-repeat" battle, making this really easy. Just make sure to stay out of the fire!

Beating Infernal Dinosaur: King Dodongo

Unlike the previous fight, you can't exactly strike the second the battle begins. Just run around the room, but keep the dinosaur within bomb-throwing range. Keep avoiding attacks and when the prehistoric-creature-from-wayback-yonder-who-lives-in-a-volcano opens it mouth for a suction attack (Stockpile(See below), toss a bomb into it's gullet. When it explodes, quickly slash it with your sword. When King Dodongo regains it's senses, repeat this process until he's beaten.

Attacks

Flamethrower:
This is it's rarest attack. Because it is easily prevented by throwing a bomb into the dinosaur's mouth. Flamethrower is a rather powerful move. It causes 1/2 hearts of damage. This move is a long stream of flame that can reach across the room.

Stockpile:
This is the move that always is used, and leads to finishing this fight. King Dodongo will open his mouth (Allowing you to blow it up)

Rollout:
After either getting blown up or shooting out Flamethrower, the prehistoric creature will curl up into a ball and roll around the room. Each time you get hit, it costs 1/4 a heart.
-------------Field hazards(1)---------------------
Unlike the previous fight, this battle has a field hazard. The lava in the center of the room. It causes 1/4 heart damage for every 3 seconds you are in it.
--------------------------------------------------
After about 5-8 hits, you will win, and be able to leave this hell-ish place! (Don't forget to get the Heart Container!)
--------------------------------------------------
And now; I leave you with the following update: I will no longer be doing it in separate parts of just battles, these guides will now feature absolutely NOTHING NEW! Yes, I decided to put that in for NO good reason! XD Next time, it will feature the battle inside the fish(Whale/TUNA?!)!
