To beat Thunderblight Ganon in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the key strategies involve careful dodging, shield blocking, and attacking during openings. Here are the main tactics:
- Use a shield to block Thunderblight's attacks. When he prepares a strike, a perfect dodge followed by a flurry rush (rapid counterattack) is very effective.
- Hit Thunderblight multiple times with a fast weapon like the Master Sword when his shield is down.
- Use bomb arrows or other ranged attacks during openings.
- In the second phase, when his axe is electrified, a non-metal shield is necessary to block successfully. Also, use electricity-resistant meals or elixirs.
- Use Magnesis to lift and throw metal poles he places on the ground back at him to stun him.
- Keep moving and avoid his teleport and multiple hit combos, backflipping to dodge.
- Having powerful bows like Lynel bows, and abilities such as Urbosa’s Fury make the fight much faster.
The fight is notably hard because Thunderblight is fast and aggressive, but with prepared equipment and spells, it can be conquered in under a minute by skilled players.
Summary of the fight steps:
- Block or dodge attacks and hit Thunderblight with quick weapons.
- Use perfect dodges to trigger flurry rushes.
- Use Magnesis on metal rods he places to stun him.
- Fire bomb arrows or use Urbosa’s Fury when possible.
- Manage phase two carefully with electric resistance and non-metal shields.
This approach will help successfully defeat Thunderblight Ganon and progress in the game.
