The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

How can I defeat Dongorongo?

  • 1 of 19: This battle, like earlier ones, is split into two phases.
  • 2 of 19: You are going to be controlling Gongoron for a large percentage of this fight.
  • 3 of 19: You need to keep an eye on Link, though. If any enemies get too close to him, switch back to him and sort him out.
  • 4 of 19: The first thing you will need to do as Gongoron is use your Goron rolling attack to knock Dongorongo onto his side.
  • 5 of 19: This can be done by either bashing straight into his side, or his front and then his side when he stops (the latter being a little easier).
  • 6 of 19: Once he is on his side, it's Link's time to shine.
  • 7 of 19: Or, Link's time to play pyromaniac.
  • 8 of 19: Feed the doggy.
  • 9 of 19: Feed him a Bombchu.
  • 10 of 19: Aim one into his gaping mouth.
  • 11 of 19: Repeat this process three times and the fight will be over.
  • 12 of 19: Oh, wait... no it won't! Dongorongo will unfortunately recover a few minutes later!
  • 13 of 19: The second section will involve only Link.
  • 14 of 19: And a more classic variation on his new Bombchus.
  • 15 of 19: Were you neglecting your ordinary bombs? As they're the key to finishing this fight once and for all!
  • 16 of 19: You will notice Dongorongo breathing in periodically.
  • 17 of 19: When he does, throw a bomb into his mouth.
  • 18 of 19: This will knock him over, exposing the large blue crystal on his back.
  • 19 of 19: Slash at it repeatedly, and repeat that process a few times, and this fight will be over for good.
