How to Beat Cursed Spume
You can safely defeat it by shooting with a bow, or using Skyward Sword from afar. Take care not to be in contact with it as it disables your equipment.

Cursed Spumes are variants of Spumes that shoot Fire Shots that are cursed. Being hit by these shots will render your equipment unusable.

As they are often found in one of the last dungeons in the game, your arsenal of weapons can easily defeat Cursed Spumes.
