Boss Strategy

1.0 Gleeokenspiel

Gleeokenspiel has a main body and four heads. Your main goal is to destroy the body after detaching the four heads.

A Surprise Attack: Bombchus!
Before triggering the boss fight (while standing at the edge of the room), you can kick two Bombchus into the boss room without spawning in the boss. When Gleeokenspiel does spawn, the Bombchus will explode and destached two of its heads.

Heads are detached by attacking them until their health is depleted. You can destroy the detached heads with one additional hit, but destroying the detached heads is not required to win the fight.

Your first priority is to detach all four heads before immediately attacking the body. Once again, you do not need to worry about attacking the detached heads unless they start moving back towards you.

Attacks

• Each time you approach the main body, it will shake and then ram forward. Move away quickly after you attack to avoid taking damage.
• During the fight, a “1-2-3” chime will be played. On the fourth beat, all of Gleeokenspiel’s reamining attached heads will electrify all tiles above and below the tile it’s standing on. You will take damage and be briefly stunned if you touch an electrified tile.You cannot shield the electric attack after the Gleeokenspiel countdown, but it is easy to avoid because the remaining attached heads and main body will freeze during the countdown. If you play as Zelda, you can use Nayru’s Love to prevent the damage.
