The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Beat Calamity Ganon

Walkthrough

1
Prepare for Battle: Before entering Hyrule Castle, ensure you have completed the Divine Beasts. Each completed Divine Beast will unleash an attack on Calamity Ganon, significantly reducing his health before the fight even begins. Stock up on powerful weapons, shields, arrows, and healing items.
2
Entering Hyrule Castle: Navigate through Hyrule Castle, facing various enemies and environmental hazards. The path to Calamity Ganon can be challenging, so be prepared for combat and exploration.
3
Phase 1: Calamity Ganon: Calamity Ganon will utilize a variety of attacks, including energy blasts, melee strikes, and area-of-effect attacks. Focus on dodging his assaults and finding openings to strike. Using the parry mechanic with your shield can be highly effective.
4
Phase 2: Dark Beast Ganon: After defeating Calamity Ganon, you will face Dark Beast Ganon in a more open arena. Zelda will grant you the Bow of Light. Ride your horse and use the Bow of Light to target the glowing weak points that appear on Ganon's body. Continue to dodge his massive laser attacks.
5
Final Blow: Once all weak points are hit, a final weak point will appear on Ganon's forehead. Aim carefully and fire a final arrow to defeat him and restore peace to Hyrule.

Tips

Master Flurry Rush and Parry: These combat techniques are crucial for dealing damage and avoiding hits. Practice them on lesser enemies if needed.
Use the Environment: Utilize any cover available in the arena to shield yourself from Ganon's attacks.
Divine Beast Powers: If you have freed the Divine Beasts, their respective Champion abilities (Mipha's Grace, Daruk's Protection, Revali's Gale, Urbosa's Fury) can be invaluable.
Arrow Types: While not strictly necessary, elemental arrows can sometimes exploit Ganon's weaknesses or provide tactical advantages.
Patience is Key: Don't rush your attacks. Observe Ganon's patterns and strike when it's safe.
