How to Beat Dark Lizalfos

Strategy

How to Beat Dark Lizalfos
Uses the same attack pattern and weakness as normal Lizalfos, but far more dangerous. You can use the Bow from afar, but you can only damage it when it is unalerted from your presence.

Dark Lizalfos are the purple hided, stronger version of Lizalfos. Much like when fighting the Lizalfos, the strategies players will use are the same.

Dark Lizalfos are strong and agile enemies that can instantly dodge attacks. When dealing with Dark Lizalfos, try to be as patient as possible and never attack continuously, as they will immediately counter after you attack.

Slice the Unprotected Side of Dark Lizalfos

Dark Lizalfos defending
As a defensive option, Dark Lizalfos will block a side with their big arm shield, when that happens, simply slice or attack the unprotected side. This attack pattern is fast so stay on your toes.

Strike When Lizalfos Uses Cursed Breathe

Dark Lizalfos are vulnerable while they are using their Cursed Breath attack. Use a vertical or horizontal Spin Attack to knock them down and finish with a Fatal Blow.
