The fight against Calamity Ganon has two phases. If you have freed all four Divine Beasts, they will each fire a laser beam, significantly weakening Ganon before the fight even begins, reducing his health by half. If you haven't freed them, you'll face him at full strength.

Phase 1: Calamity Ganon

Ganon will cycle through attacks reminiscent of the Blight Ganons. He uses fire, ice, wind, and lightning attacks. His weak points are often exposed after certain attacks. Use Flurry Rushes and parries. The Master Sword is highly effective here. Keep your Champion abilities ready, especially Mipha's Grace for healing and Daruk's Protection for defense.

Phase 2: Dark Beast Ganon

After defeating Calamity Ganon, he transforms into Dark Beast Ganon. This fight takes place on Hyrule Field. You'll be mounted on a horse, and Princess Zelda will grant you the Bow of Light. Your goal is to shoot the glowing weak points that appear on Dark Beast Ganon's body. These weak points are covered in Malice and need to be cleared before you can hit the main glowing eye. Use Revali's Gale to get airborne for better shots. The final shot is to his eye.
