Sandship Enemies

List of Enemies	Strategy
Aracha	As it is weak, a simple slash is enough to defeat it. However, multiple Arachas can grab on to you. Simple roll away and defeat all with a spin attack.
Beamos	Slash through each of the line with a horizontal sword attack. When only the head remains, stab it with a forward thrust. You can also Shield Bash to deflect the laser back to stun them.
Red Bokoblin (Archer)	Bokoblin Archers attack from a long distance, so it is effective to use the bow and arrow as well. If they attack with fire arrows, try not to guard wth a wooden shield.
Red Bokoblin (Leader)	Leaders have the same attack pattern as Red Bokoblins, and can be defeated with a sword or bow. You can take away its Monster Horn with a whip to prevent it from alerting nearby Bokoblins.
Technoblin	Use Skyward Strike to down it and use Fatal Blow. Attack it strategically to avoid being electrocuted from its weapon. If it doesn't work, you can easily defeat it by stunning it with a slingshot. Avoid using Iron Shields.
Thunder Keese	Block and stun its swoop, then attack it just the same as with normal Keese. Do not use Iron Shields while doing this.
