How to Beat Bowser (Final Encounter)

Master the final Bowser fight in Super Mario Odyssey! Learn Bowser's attack patterns, weaknesses, and the best strategies to defeat him and save Princess Peach.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Bowser is vulnerable to Cappy throws, especially when his hat is knocked off.
• He has multiple attack patterns that can be learned and dodged.

Phases:

1. Bowser attacks with fire breath and ground pounds. Dodge these by jumping or moving out of the way.
2. Bowser will attempt to punch and throw his hat. These can be dodged, and his hat can be thrown back at him when it's vulnerable.
3. After taking damage, Bowser's attacks become more aggressive, including shockwaves and faster movements. Continue to dodge and counter.
4. The final phase involves Bowser using his hat offensively. Time your Cappy throws to hit him when he's recovering from his attacks.

Strategy:

• Observe Bowser's attack patterns and learn the timing for dodges.
• When Bowser throws his hat, wait for the opportune moment to throw Cappy at it.
• After hitting his hat, Bowser will be stunned, allowing you to attack him directly.
• Use the environment to your advantage, such as the platforms that appear and disappear.
• Maintain a safe distance when necessary and be patient. The fight requires precision and endurance.
