Strategy

  1. Use Roc's Cape: When Gyorg swoops down, use the Roc's Cape to jump onto its back.
  2. Attack the Eyes: Once on its back, quickly run to one of its eyes and attack it with your sword.
  3. Dodge and Repeat: Gyorg will try to shake you off. Jump off before it does, then dodge its attacks and wait for another opportunity to jump on its back.

Phase 2: Grounded Attacks

After damaging its eyes enough, Gyorg will crash to the ground, revealing its main eye.

  1. Use Four Sword: Quickly use the cloning panels to create four Links.
  2. Attack the Eye: Unleash a powerful multi-sword attack on Gyorg's main eye.
  3. Repeat: Gyorg will eventually recover and fly back into the air. Repeat the process until it is defeated.

Reward: Heart Container, Water Element.

This battle heavily relies on your Roc's Cape for mobility and the Four Sword for damage. Timing your jumps onto Gyorg's back is crucial, as is quickly getting off before you take damage. In the second phase, maximizing your Four Sword clones' damage output is key to ending the fight quickly. Be mindful of the strong winds in the arena, which can make platforming tricky. Stay patient and wait for the right moments to strike.
