The boss fight has two phases. In the first, you’ll take on Landia as a single entity, where it typically uses long-range attacks to damage you. In the second phase, it splits into four dragons, meaning you’ll have even more attacks to avoid. However, that also gives you four targets to hit. Here’s how to take it down.
Copy Ability Choices
Before this boss, you’ll have the choice of six Copy Abilities:
These are all fairly good options, and it mostly comes down to which you prefer to use. That being said,long-range attacks are usefulin this fight, soCutter, Bomb and Ninja are the most useful. Choose your preference and head right. Drop down and enter the star door.
How To Defeat Landia
First Phase
Landia will most oftenshoot fireballs at you from one of its four heads. you may dodge this by jumping out of the way. It will alsospin and try to hit you with its tail. When it does this, jump and float up above it.
Landia may alsocharge at you from one end of the arena to another. Jump and float above it when it begins to charge.
When it turns to face forward, thetwo heads on the side will breathe fire onto the ground. Leap up into the air and stay close to the edge of the arena to avoid this attack.
By flapping its wings,Landia shoots shockwaves of air at you. Dodge the blue shockwaves by floating up and down.
Your best strategy during this phase is toget short-range hits in when Landia is stationary between attacks. When it’s throwing fireballs at you or other projectiles,you can throw long-range attacks in between your dodges.
Second Phase
When you reduce Landia to half HP, it will split up into four dragons. The dragons begin byflying around the stage and breathing fire directly at the ground. While they’re doing this,stay in the air to avoid the fire, and attempt to dodge the dragons themselves as they fly around.
The dragons will alsoshoot electricity together, forming lines across the arena. Avoid touching these or else you’ll be shocked.
Additionally,the dragons will charge at you in pairs. Jump out of the way of the first pair, then look for the direction the second pair will aim for. Dodge those too.
The dragons mayposition themselves in the four corners of the arena and then pass a fireball between them. They pass it anti-clockwise between them, and you can stay in the center to dodge it completely for the first round. Then,they’ll start passing it diagonally between them, and you’ll need to watch where it’s thrown to avoid making contact.
During this attack,run to the opposite side of where the fireball is headed and attack one of the dragons on this side. When they throw the fireball again, run to another safe section and repeat.
The dragons will thenconduct electricity between them, which crosses over in the center. They’ll move around the arena like this.
Get into a safe corner and follow them around. You can attack the nearest dragon to you during this.
After these attacks, they’lljoin as a single dragon again and repeat attacks from the first phase: throwing fireballs at you, breathing fire at the ground, and aiming shockwaves at you.
Now, they’llswitch between this form and the separated form, repeating the attacks. Dodge as much as possible andfocus on hitting them with long-range attacks. Use short-range attacks when it’s safe.
When they’re defeated, they’ll fall to the ground, and a cutscene will begin before the final boss.
