Boss Battle: Stalblind
- Stats / Weaknesses: Stalblind is the first boss of Lorule's dungeons. It has two initial attacks: puking black substance and sword swings. It blocks attacks with a shield.
Phases:
- Phase 1: Evade the black substance by walking. Step back from sword swings. Merge with Stalblind's shield, unmerge behind it, and attack multiple times.
- Phase 2: Stalblind discards its shield. Evade its spin attack by running clockwise or counterclockwise. Attack when it stops. It also thrusts its sword, which is easier to evade.
- Phase 3: Stalblind becomes aggressive and attacks the floor repeatedly. Its head spins and pukes black substance. This phase is difficult; defeat it as quickly as possible.
Strategy:
- In Phase 1, use the shield-merge ability to create openings for attack.
- In Phase 2, focus on evasion during its spin attack and capitalize on openings when it pauses.
- In Phase 3, prioritize quick attacks to end the fight before it becomes overwhelming.
After the boss fight, the door opens, and the Thief Girl escorts you to a painting. You receive a [HEART CONTAINER]. After speaking with Osfala, you obtain the Sand Rod, which is then taken away.
Head to the Southern Ruins. At the northwest, find a previously empty cave where the Thief Girl is now present. Open the [CHEST] for a [SILVER RUPEE]. Finally, return to Link's House in Hyrule.
