[[File:Helmasaur-1.png|left]]Helmasaurs | [[File:Helmasaur-1.png|left]]Helmasaurs are first encountered within the [[Dark Palace]], the first dungeon in the [[Dark World]]. These creatures wear an armored green mask on their head, making them invulnerable to sword slashes. The rest of their body is a soft brown color and is susceptible to most weapons. Their only form of attack involves charging directly into [[Link]], which does a full heart of damage. | ||
Link is able to defeat a Helmasaur with a single slash from his [[Master Sword]]. However, the attack must hit the enemy from the back or the side, as its armored mask prevents damage from the front. If Link has full power, he can shoot his [[Beam Blade]] attack right at the Helmasaur and can defeat him with two strikes, regardless of where he hits them from. | |||
There are several alternative ways to defeat this creature. Link can sprinkle some [[Magic Powder]] on the Helmasaur, causing it to turn into [[Slime]], making it easy to defeat. After Link acquires the [[Magic Hammer]] from the Dark Palace, this can be used to defeat the enemy in one hit. | |||
The boss of the [[Dark Palace]] is the [[Helmasaur King]], an oversize version of a Helmasaur. A more difficult variation of this boss is encountered within the [[Palace of the Four Sword]]. | |||
