Ok - Here’s my first tip. But first:

SPOILER ALERT

I will be talking about mainline story in this tip! You have been warned!

Boss: Mucktorok

Behavior:

Shark Mode:

  1. Circles the arena, then charges at the player.
  2. Creates Muck Circle that cover the entire arena.
  3. Shoots Muck Beam at player. Octopus Mode:
  4. Flees to side opposite to player when stunned out of Shark Mode.
  5. After 50% health damage will jump across much patches to avoid being hit before returning to Shark Mode.

How to cheese the boss:

  1. Since your jumps are amplified in the arena, you can gain airtime and that means you can slow-mo shoot your bow.

  2. Use your bow in combination with fused chu-chu jelly, king’s scale, or Splash-fruit to your arrows to aim at the boss while it’s almost frozen.

  3. Shoot Twice at the boss while in Shark Mode. While you’re in slow-mo, make sure both arrows are fused with chu-chu jelly, king’s scale, or Splash-fruit , otherwise it won’t do anything to the shark.

  4. Once the boss stunts out of Shark Mode, jump/glide to the boss that will now be in Octopus-mode, Attack it will your most powerful melee weapon

  5. Octopus will skip over to the opposite side of the arena, wait for it to go Shark Mode, then jump again to repeat from step 1.

  6. Once the boss is at 50%, the arena will get filled with muck, feel free to use Sidon’s ability / more water arrows to clear the area, however it was a waste of time to me because I could simply fly over to the muck to get to the boss once in Octopus mode.

7: ???

8: Profit. You have cheesed the Mucktorok
