Hmm, new bosses...hum....lemme think, okays, here's one that's pretty tough. Bah, Nintendo thinks they're nasty *sticks tongue out* try this one on for size!

The guardian of Flames, DoubleDragon!

Appearance: Okay so think of this guy as a combination of Twinrova and the Twin mold in MM. Basically it's about twice the soze of the dragon in TP. Two heads and it's body looks a bit like Ridly from Metroid. (I can find referance photo if needed) One is an icy blue, the other head a flaming red.

Reward: Flare Gauntilets, Powerful gloves that give link the might of a dragon! Not only does it Allow the user to smash through even steel walls(only in certain areas of course), when the magic meeter is charged. It also allowes the user to engage in Mele combat, hand to hand with flaming or icy barriers around closed fists. Time your strike expertly, and Link (the player) will be able to catch the attackers sword mid-swing. Then remove it and take them out easilly.


Weapons to use?: Please, why would I make it easier on you to figure out it's weakpoint?

Phase 1 remove armor and attack primary weakpoint: The first trick (and easiest part of the fight mind you) is to remove his armor, the only way to use this is to check your inventory for a particular tool. When you have it, latch on to lockable areas in various spots. (Shoulders, chest, head etc) Make sure you have the iron boots on or else! Once the armor is removed, look to the cieling, use another particular item to send the stalagtites falling down on top of him. When he's pinned circle around him and slash his tail as many times as possible. Repeat this until the crystal shatters and he gets a tad pissed. Double Dragon is now at half his health!


Phase 2 Reflect the elements to it's opposite: Here's where it gets interesting, Once his tail is shattered, DoubleDragon will start tossing blasts of super cooled air, or moltan magma at you. Use the same stratagy you did fighting Kotake and Komue in OOT. Double Dragon is a bit wiser than the two old hags, it's heads will ocasionally change colors when you least expect it. Watch out for it's ocasional ground quake attack, this brings a rain of stone uppon you for a few moments.(though this is easilly avoidable if you watch your step) Reflect two or three attacks on each head untill it passes out, then attack the crystal on either head as many times as you can. Rinse and repeat until the fire crystal and ice crystal are shattered. Now he's reaaally pissed at you!


Phase 3, use the environment to your advantage: Now for the tricky part, by now you've probably noticed the differently colored pipes on the cieling and walls of the areena, either red or blue. Double Dragon will begin flying in and out of the arena through holes in the wall. Use your brains to fire bomb arrows at the correct pipe when the opposite head is underneath it or near it. When he get's knocked down, use your hookshot to get onto his back and slash the crystal until it breaks, good job you've almost finished him! Now to get rid of the beast once and for all.


Phase 4 Destroy doubledragon by destroying the center platform with proper timing: Now for the really hard part! Your arena is similar to the one where you faced the miniboss in the goron mines in TP, only there's also a large stone pillar (that's become quite worn down from the fight) DoubleDragon has lost his wings, now he's strictly using mele attacks. Keep an eye out for four platforms moving in and out from the walls over the lava. Take a look at the chains holding the platform up, there's the trick! Avoid his attacks at all costs, and do NOT attack him directly. Instead possition yourself so that you can backflip onto one of the sliding platforms, you only have a short time to make your move! Use bomb arrows to blast one of the four chains on the corners of the arena. Then return to the platform, as you knock out the chains, double dragon will become more and more helpless. Uppon the fourth chain you can chose between any of the moving platforms (which have stopped moving by now) Quickly launch bomb arrows at certain points in the central pillar underneath the fighting platform. The pillar gives in, and the doubledragon is dragged to hell where he belongs!


Tada, congratulations you've just taken down the king of all dragons, well his little brother anyway. Chalk another one up on your blade and walk to the center platform that's created by the four platforms merging together. Now claim your prize and heart container and get out of there quick, the lava's rising!

That's right, you heard me...that's the SUB-boss, honestly if I'm gonna get an awesome and powerfull tool like that I would want to WORK for it...wouldn't you?


EDIT: forgot it's attacks

Quake attack: one heart per stone that hits you
flame attack: three hearts Ice attack: three hearts freezes you.
Collecting the wrong attack has same effect as Twinrova in OOT This does five hearts of damage
Mele attacks (all): two hearts, four hearts if he grabs or chomps you!
