How to Beat Barinade



Shoot the Boss's Minions with the Bow

Before you can damage Barinade, you’ll need to defeat the smaller minions surrounding it first. Use your Bow of Might in Swordfighter Form to quickly take down the little Barinades.

With the right angle, you can even eliminate multiple minions in a single shot.

Swordfighter Form Upgrade Order

Summon Boomerang Boarblins

Zelda EoW - Barinade Boomerang Boarblins
If you haven’t unlocked the Bow ability yet, you can instead summon Boomerang Boarblin Echoes to attack the small Barinades.

Boomerang Boarblins can hit several targets at once and cover more ground, making it easier to clear to tear down the boss's defenses.

Spin Around to Avoid Attacks

Barinade takes up a large part of the area, making the fight seem claustrophobic.Spin around the boss as much as you can to dodge the Spark projectiles and the smaller Barinades.

How to Spin

Finish Boss in Swordfighter Form

Once Barinade's defenses are down, switch to Swordfighter Form and unleash a flurry of attacks with the Mysterious Sword.

After dealing enough damage, the fight will move into Phase 2. The only main difference is that Barinade moves slightly faster. Stick to the same strategies as before, then finish the boss with the Sword to take it down once and for all.
