Ganonblight Bosses (Info)

Overview
This is a guid on how to beat the 4 divine beasts scattered across the map which is optional to beat The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild.

Windblight Ganon
Windblight Ganon is located in Vah Medoh above Ruto Village. You need the Snowquill armor set to access the Divine Beast.

First Phase
Attacks


 * 1) Windblight will shoot a laser at you it is very easy to avoid if you keep sprinting
 * 2) Windblight will summon a whirlwind which will do about 3 hearts of damage with the current defense you should have.

Second Phase
Windblight will shoot pods into the sky that form a laser grid. If you hit these pods with a bomb arrow they will go back to Windblight. If you fail to successfully shoot all of them down they will continually shoot lasers at you that are again easy to avoid. They only do about 1/2 hearts of damage.

The Windblight will still summon the whirlwind but this time there will be two instead of one.

DLC
Weaknesses: The boss barely does any damage and it is easy to hit with the wind.

Tips:


 * 1) Use the wind generated to fly up and be able to slow time to hit those headshots.
 * 2) All attacks are easy to dodge/parry.
 * 3) Have a decent amount of stamina.

Waterblight Ganon
You don't need any special armor to get there unlike the other three, but you do need the Zora's armor to complete the Divine Beast. The quest is located in Zora's Domain and the Divine Beast is named Vah Ruta.

First Phase

 * 1) At the closest range possible it will jab its spear into the ground producing a shock wave. This is probably the only attack you will live more than one hit against with 4 hearts. It does leave you rolling on the ground for a while so it's best to avoid it.
 * 2) The second attack will occur at a close to medium range where the boss swings its spear in an arc. This is really easy to dodge and punish as you should be able to do flurry rushes near consistently by then.
 * 3) The third attack will occur at a medium to long range. This attack is a direct jab at you. Again this one is easy to dodge and punish so really train your flurry rushes. Most attacks are big and slow so it's usually easy to avoid them.
 * 4) The final attack is one you don't want to get hit by early game. Should the Waterblight Ganon throw its spear at you. At all costs avoid this. If you have more hearts or good armor you will be okay. You can hide behind Cryonis blocks to dodge the spear.

Second Phase

 * 1) The first attack I will mention will involve throwing the spear. You can't do all that much to avoid it in tight quarters, but try your best.
 * 2) The second attack is that it will summon ice blocks and throw them at you. Just calmly use Cryonis to break them and punish the boss during the opening. You can also use Stasis one the first ice block and hide behind that while hitting it. This means that all of the other ice blocks will hit the first ice block making it go farther. If you hit it in the right direction it should hit Waterblight Ganon square in the face dealing massive damage.

Now some helpful tips that isn't just on the attacks.

Weaknesses

 * 1) When you do a flurry rush, directly afterwards it will fall to the ground. Use this time to get free hits in
 * 2) When you get to the second attack phase. Shoot the boss in the eye twice with an arrow. It will fall down. Use this time to get hits in.
 * 3) Guardian weapons are extremely effective. Just as effective as the master sword so save those.

Extra tips

 * 1) Make a lot of food. Especially if your technique isn't the greatest.
 * 2) Have decent armor. Try and upgrade it. Also get the Champion's Tunic. This can be done by getting a memory done, and returning to talk to Impa. She will give you it "before she forgets." So get it because it has a ton of defense. Make sure to unlock the fairy right by the Kakariko Village Shrine so you can upgrade your armor.
 * 3) Have lots of weapons. Arrows and bows especially, but don't forget that regular swords/spears/heavy weapons are needed too. There is not much to shield against so shields aren't all that useful. SO DON'T EVEN TRY IT. Jkjk, but seriously it doesn't do much.

DLC
For DLC you will have to fight the boss as the champion Mipha. This will include food, armor, and weaponry so it is a lot harder. Never waste the arrows and try not to get hit because food is limited and the armor isn't all that great.

Fireblight Ganon
This is the third hardest Ganonblight to fight.

First off. You will need two pieces of the fireproof armor. You will also want ice and bomb arrows. (Preferably pants and helmet just so you can still wear the Champion's Tunic which boasts the highest defense in the game)

First Phase
This boss has 3 attacks if I'm not mistaken.


 * 1) The first attack is a slash by its sword. It's very easy to avoid and doesn't happen very often. It has a long charge up time so be sure to avoid it.
 * 2) It has a charge up attack where it spins while slashing its sword three times. I would not try to do anything during this attack just be sure to punish it afterwards
 * 3) The third attack is a couple of fireballs being throw at you. these are easily avoidable so try to avoid them.

Second Phase
The boss will have a shield after this. Don't worry about it break it with a bomb arrow.


 * 1) It will summon a giant freaking fireball which is like a nuke. It's not very easy to avoid (especially if you fight it in Hyrule castle, but that's another story)
 * 2) The second is that its tiny fireballs will set fire to the ground making a perfect gust of wind to glide on and go into bullet time. hit it in the face with some arrows.

Tips


 * 1) If you blatantly disregarded this post and went to the desert to fight the Thunderblight. Then you can use Urbosa's Fury to break the shield and do a ton of damage as well.
 * 2) This boss has slow, hard hitting attacks so be sure to punish that, and also have a lot of food.

Thunderblight Ganon
Thunderblight Ganon is the hardest Ganonblight fight in the game. No joke about it.

First Phase: The Thunderblight has 2 attacks.

 * 1) It will lean one way and then in 3 zig zag motions it will move in very fast: When it rushes in, time your backflip right to get a flurry rush. If you miss the flurry rush you can still hit it. It will hit the shield but once the shield is broken you get some free time for hits
 * 2) The second attack is just electric orbs. To dodge the orbs stay right under the Thunderblight since it can't hit you then.
 * 3) Once its shield is broken it will take some time to regenerate, hit it with some arrows in this time.

Second Phase: It will make its sword electric

 * 1) It will still Throw electric orbs at you
 * 2) It will still do the zig zag with the sword being electric now
 * 3) It will throw down metal spikes and electrify them, (this kills your fps btw.) Use the metal spike and put it up against the Ganonblight. It will do massive damage, and it will knock it down letting you get free hits.

Tips:


 * 1) This Ganonblight is very small, and very fast
 * 2) Don't get hit by the electric orbs or the sword in the second phase or you'll drop your weapons or something
 * 3) Have a rubber suit so you won't get electrified or something.

DLC
Silver I was think about removing some of the opinion as we clearly have different views on which Ganon fight is the easiest, except we could leave in Thunderblight being the hardest cuz that's just FACCS - 69ǝɯᴉꓕⅎooɹǝHʞuᴉ⅂ʞuᴉ⅂ (Don't ask me why my name is upside down)
