Dodongo's Cavern Dungeon Guide

[Ari]

We take our first steps into Dodongo's Cavern by blowing up the wall blocking our way.

We then head around the side and climb a ladder to reach the nearby bomb flower and blow up the wall. This reveals the Dungeon Map to us.

We then cross to the other side and move on to the next room, while avoiding the Beamos and destroying them.

In this room we meet Baby Dodongo's and use one to blow up a wall revealing Gold Skulltula #15.

Moving through the next few rooms we meet up with the first mini-bosses which are a pair of Lizalfos. Using our shields to guard, we destroy them 1 at a time and move on.

We move on to meet Dodongos and deal with them accordingly, before lighting torches to move on.

We find a switch in the main room that opens the next door across the room and move through to find a rock wall we then destroy. After dealing with the Armos we gain the Compass.

We start by taking the bomb flower off by the side and placing it in the open gap of bomb flowers to lower the staircase. Then at the top we find Gold Skulltula #16.

We advance through a few more rooms and end up in a corridor room with blade traps on the floor, after passing them, pull out the block and climb the ladder, then jump to the platform and throw a well timed bomb at the rock wall. We pass a room and find another mini-boss fight with 2 more Lizalfos (annoying arent they?) We pass by a few more rooms requiring the Slingshot and arrive at a chest containing the Bomb Bag with 20 Bombs. This is of course the Dungeon Item. We also flip a switch activating an elevator between the 1st and 2nd floor. Next up we drop bombs in the open slots in the bridge to light up the giant dodongo's eyes and open the path. We head inside and navigate the last few rooms, also aquiring Gold Skulltula #17. Then finally pushing the block into the hole and opening the door to the Boss. Note: I also show off the a fairy which we can catch in a bottle by swiping it at the fairy. A fairy will fully heal you when you open the bottle, it can also bring you back to life and fully heal you if you die.

The Arena is nothing but 4 straight segments of land all around the room and in the center is a huge pool of lava.

King Dodongo's attacks: He will walk into you, suck up air and breathe out fire which hurts badly, and curl up into a ball and try to run you over.

Strategy: This is the easiest boss in the game or possibly 2nd to Gohma. Simply back away until he sucks in air for his Fire Breath attack, when he sucks in, lob a Bomb into his mouth to stun him. Follow this up with a jump slash and quickly run around the side of him to avoid his rolling attack, before chasing him down. Repeat this 3 times to win.
