The bats themselves can be killed, but they will appear again continuously. One of the cooler mini-bosses in the game, Gomess surrounds himself with bats, which makes him invulnerable. Slash the crates at the end to stock up on magic and arrows, then enter the next door. Nice! You can reenter this room a few times if you’d like to plump up your wallet. Try shooting them with Light Arrows to make them drop 50 rupees each. Also, the Blue Bubbles won’t be able to see you if you wear the Stone Mask. You can play the Song of Storms to remove this curse at any time. These enemies will jinx you if they touch you, making you unable to use your sword for a short period of time. Immediately follow up with R to defend, or else his counter attack will hit you. However, he’s fairly easy in your Goron Form, since at short to medium distances, you can simply use A + B to perform a Goron Pound, which will hit him as soon as he finishes his charge attack. While it is possible to fight as both Deku and Zora Link, if he manages to hit you, you’ll have to restart the battle, since you aren’t allowed to catch on fire (so don’t fight in those forms). It’s fairly predictable, so you shouldn’t have a problem with it. When he does this, you’re best course of action is usually to run towards where he just was, then turn around and hit him in the back. If you stand too far away when he charges at you, he’ll disappear and pop up right in front of you. When he charges at you, strafe to the side and then return after he swipes to get a good slash in with your own sword. The easiest way to do this is to simply back up. The trick to defeating him is to avoid his attacks entirely so that he misses, leaving him vulnerable for a few moments. This guy is only vulnerable after he successfully performs an attack, meaning that even if you deflect his swords, his guard will remain up. If you have the Bunny Hood, wear it, since it will allow you to run away from his attacks faster. This guy looks familiar, but unfortunately his swords do not break because of your Shield like the other Garos you may have faced before. Stray Fairy #6.1 Pound the switch in the lava and roll to the other side of the room to press down the other switch. Once you manage to step on the switch, it’ll make a large chest appear above that you’ll be able to open in a moment. If you struggle with this, don’t be surprised, as it’s probably the hardest Stray Fairy to acquire in the entire game.

By rolling in short bursts about three or four times, you should be able to make it without too much of a problem. Focus on walking in the correct direction and only hold A when you’re in straight stretches. It is best to ignore the rolling for the most part. The problem is that if you hit a wall, it’ll slow you down too much and you won’t make it. Basically, walk around the room and roll with A to increase speed. Use a Goron Pound to push it down, which removes the fire temporarily from around the floor switch on the opposite side of the room, also in the lava. Drop down to the lower portion of the room and you’ll see a large switch close to the entrance. Ignore the pumps for now and put on the Goron Mask. This area is filled with lava and has several air pumps that blast upwards.
