Battle

Stage 1

Targeting a Bombling

The battle with Diababa is broken down into two phases. The first phases consists of Link battling with what appears to be the hands of Diababa. The hands are in the form of two massive deku babas. An area of purple fog blocks Links path towards the deku babas so he must battle them from a distance. There are a few bomblings that are located within the purple fog area.

All that Link really needs to do is use the gale boomerang on one of the bomblings in the room and then target one of the deku babas. Release the gale boomerang and the bombling will blow up within the mouth of the deku baba. It only takes one bomb to each of the deku babas to send them falling into the purple fog.

Diababa only has one attack during this early phase of the battle. The two deku babas will pull back and then toss themselves towards Link to attack. Just quickly roll to your left or right, or simply just use your shield to block the attacks. Once both deku babas have been defeated and have sunk into the purple fog, Diababa will show its entire self.

Stage 2

Targeting Ook's Bombling

Attacking Diababa's eye

The second phase of the battle begins and you'll notice an orange like ball, which acts as a tongue of Diababa. This will turn out to be Diababa's weakness. There really is not much Link can do at all in this early part of this phase. Just run around the room avoiding the dash attacks by the big babas of Diababa.

Eventually Ook, the baboon that we fought earlier, will appear and he's holding a bombling. He'll jump on a nearby branch and swing back and forth across the boss chamber. At this point, use the gale boomerang and target the bombling that the baboon is holding. Next, target the head of Diababa and release the boomerang. This will bring the bomb and explode it in Diababa's face, sending him crashing down to the floor right next to Link. Use your sword and swipe the orange eye as many times as you can until Diababa gets back up.

Diababa will now unleash its most fierce attack when it shoots purple slime out of its mouth. It is quite hard to avoid but just keep moving and try to get to one of the corners of the room. Eventually the attack will stop and Ook will return, holding another bombling.

Repeat the same process by targeting the bomb and then Diababa's head and it will come crashing down. Slash at him with your sword a few more times until it gets back up. That is about all there is to Diababa. After hitting a few bomblings and several sword swipes, Diababa will be defeated.

Trivia

• The name Diababa is derived from the name Deku Baba. The head is a junction of three Deku Babas as you can see in the picture above.
