5th Boss Battle - Goron Temple

Dongorongo, Armored Lizard

Dongorongo is a big, red, dinosaur-like beast that appears as your 5th boss. Right after he appears in the room before that of the pure metal, your little helper Gongoron appears through a passage in the wall, and just in the nick of time! You'll need his help to beat this one!

This fight is composed of two sections, the first being where Link is trapped on one side of the room due to quick sand, and Gongoron is on the other side with the monster. You begin by controlling Gongoron, and if you need to switch back to Link, you can do so by tapping the icon on the bottom screen. Keep watch over the Link icon by the way, because every once in a while snakes will make their way over to Link and attack him. When the icon flashes "Danger!" switch to Link and eliminate the cause of peril. Anyway, as Gongoron, roll up into a ball and circle the beast until you've out-tumbled him and his side becomes vulnerable. Tap his side multiple times when it's open to attack, and keep doing this until he falls. When he does, take control of Link and send over a Bombchu right into Dongorongo's mouth. When it explodes, Dongorongo will urch, and this will give you time to collect hearts from the pots around the room if needed (Gongoron and Link share the same health). After you do this a couple of times, Dongorongo will fall, and won't get up. Gongoron will run into the next room to wait for you when you go to get the pure metal. You run across the now-formed bridge... just to figure out that Dongorongo was playing dead! The bridge disappears, the door shuts tight behind Gongoron, and the beast awakens. You're trapped!

This is the second section of the battle. This time you must defeat Dongorongo for good, and you don't have Gongoron's help. Beware of the snakes in the room, and take advantage of the pots on the edges of the room which contain hearts. For his first move, Dongorongo inhales a whole bunch of air to later spew flames from his mouth. To prevent this and damage him, simply throw a bomb (it can be one of yours or one from the bomb plants around the room) into his mouth, and watch it explode inside of him. He'll fall over, revealing the big blue spot on his back. Run over to it and slash it as much as you can with your sword. If you do it well enough, this process only needs to be done twice. When he finally falls for good and deteriorates, the ferocious Dongorongo is finally dead. You will be rewarded with a Heart Container and access to the room holding the Crimsonine, your first pure metal.
