Thunderblight Ganon killed [[Urbosa]] during the [[Great Calamity]], eventually serving as boss of [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris|the dungeon]] when Link came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later. If Link doesn't fight Thunderblight Ganon inside of Vah Naboris, he will later encounter the boss in the [[Sanctum]] inside of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], where he will be the last Blight that Link faces there. Due to its blinding speed, Thunderblight Ganon is the most difficult Blight to encounter and one of the most difficult bosses in the game. | Thunderblight Ganon killed [[Urbosa]] during the [[Great Calamity]], eventually serving as boss of [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris|the dungeon]] when Link came to free it of Ganon's control 100 years later.

During the first phase of the battle, it is recommended to stay on the bottom floor where there is the most space to work with. Thunderblight Ganon has two attacks during this initial phase. The first will have him launch some electric balls at you and these can be easily avoided by just moving to the side. Its other attack involves him quickly moving around the room, warping to three spots in a matter of a second, with the third spot being right next to Link. It'll then deliver a vicious sword slash. The best method to attack him during this phase is to hold out your shield, and just before it's about to attack you, do a backflip.

The best method to attack him during this phase is to hold out your shield, and just before it's about to attack you, do a backflip. If you time it right, you can perform a Flurry Rush. Equip your best one or two-handed weapon to do the most damage. Repeat this method until half its health is gone. | ||

When Thunderblight Ganon's health is low, it will perform a charged laser shot at you. It is advised to avoid trying to do a [[Perfect Guard]] of this, instead, just run away or hide behind a pillar so that the laser does not harm you. Alternatively, you could take a big risk and try to deal a lot of damage to it while it is charging its laser. | When Thunderblight Ganon's health is low, it will perform a charged laser shot at you.

====Phase 2 Skip==== | |||
It is actually possible to skip Phase 2 of the fight entirely, but this is extremely difficult, as Thunderblight Ganon must be reduced all the way to 0 HP from above the Phase 2 threshold in a '''single frame'''. Difficult as it is, if an enemy is hit by Stasis+ and then multiple attacks are dealt to them while under the effect of [[Stasis]]+, all damage they would've taken during Statis+ will be dealt to them, instantaneously. Thus, it becomes possible for multiple hits to be dealt in the same frame to Thunderblight Ganon, and possible for those hits to rack up enough damage. | |||
Because Statis+ will wear off on Thunderblight Ganon extremely quickly, the primary method to rack up enough damage on Thunderblight Ganon is to get in midair for bullet time and spam enough bow shots to deal enough damage. Depending on the circumstances in which Thunderblight is being fought, this may take anywhere from 800-2000 damage to kill the boss in one go; regardless, the best way to rack up that damage is to use a 5-shot [[Savage Lynel Bow]] with [[Ancient Arrow]]s, [[Ancient Proficiency]] and a Lv3 Attack Up meal. If enough damage has been dealt, the upon the expiration of Statis+, Thunderblight Ganon will instantly die; he will still do his Phase 2 transition, but the fight will end as soon as that cutscene ends. | |||
Additionally, an alternative method for skipping Phase 2 of the Thunderblight fight exists if Thunderblight is the first of the four Blights to be fought, and is fought in [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris]], giving it its lowest possible HP pool of 800. In this scenario, it is actually possible for a single hit to deal more than 400 damage with a sufficiently powerful weapon, skipping Phase 2 entirely if enough damage was done during Phase 1 without outright ending Phase 1. With Ancient Proficiency, a Lv3 Attack Up meal and a [[Critical Hit]] (caused by throwing a melee weapon), an Ancient-type weapon with 50 base attack or a Guardian-type weapon with 57 base attack can deal more than 400 damage when thrown, such that Phase 2 can be skipped if Phase 1 is carefully damaged down for a finishing throw. Notably, an [[Ancient Battle Axe++]] deals 421 damage when thrown (requiring Thunderblight take 379-399 damage beforehand), an Ancient Battle Axe++ with a maximum +15 might modifier deals 526 damage (requiring 274-399 damage beforehand) and an [[Ancient Bladesaw]] deals 445 damage (requiring 355-399 damage beforehand). Other Ancient- or Guardian- weapons can suffice, but great care must be taken not to deal too much damage to Thunderblight before moving in for the kill, as otherwise Phase 2 will commence and landing a weapon throw will become difficult or unnecessary. | |||

Thunderblight Ganon makes its appearance after Calamity Ganon emerges with its goal being to corrupt Divine Beast Vah Naboris and take the Champion Urbosa's life. Urbosa is trapped inside when she confronts it, and she gets into a sword fight with it, and she is pushed to her limit which she is tossed to the lower levels of Naboris and drops to her knee in exhaustion as Thunderblight Ganon goes in for the kill. Before hope is lost for the Gerudo Champion, the Gate of Time appears as Riju and Patricia emerge and ram into Thunderblight Ganon before it could reach Urbosa, who tells her that they need to focus on the battle for now. Thunderblight Ganon starts to gain the upper hand with its speed, but help arrives in the nick of time as Link and his friends managed to destroy Thunderblight Ganon, so Urbosa can use Naboris's lightning to create an updraft on top of Mt. Rhoam so they can save Revali and Teba. | |||
After noticing that the Champions and the Divine Beasts were spared, Astor sacrifices the Yiga Clansman and uses their souls to revive Thunderblight Ganon and the other blights and sends them to attack [[Master Kohga]] and [[Sooga]]. During the [[EX The Yiga Clan's Retreat]] ''Guardian of Remembrance'' Scenario, the Blight Ganons pursue the Yiga Clan relentlessly with intent on taking their lives and had both Kohga and Sooga at their mercy, but the latter used a Yiga technique to immobilize them and urges Kohga and the other survivors to flee, leaving him with the four demonic monsters alone. Sooga's final fate in the battle is currently uncertain. | |||
During the [[Each Step Like Thunder]] Scenario, Astor summons Thunderblight Ganon as well as the other blights upon encountering Link, Princess Zelda, and Impa in order to defeat them. Link faces them alone while Impa and the princess flee, but the latter does not want to lose Link and turns back and as she did, her power is unleashed, and it stuns the Blights and powers down the Guardians. The Blights recovered enough to try to stop Purah and her allies from activating the failsafe with Thunderblight Ganon preventing the ancient furnace from working, but they are defeated again. | |||
During [[The Future of Hyrule]] Scenario, Thunderblight Ganon and the other blights are faced off for the last time before they are slain for good before the confrontation with Astor, Harbinger Ganon, and evenutally Calamity Ganon itself. | |||
Thunderblight Ganon's design has been changed slightly; its weapons are still the same, yet they are electrified and constantly surrounded by yellow-green electricity and utilizes balls of electricity against its foes and it can create multiple clones of itself to overwhelm its adversaries. The fight against it is altered to make it somewhat easier and more balanced, even when the difficulty is set to Easy. | |||
