    Reach the boss room. The boss, Tail Ketor, is a large, snake-like creature that moves around the room.

    To defeat Tail Ketor, wait for it to charge at you, then jump over it with the Roc's Feather and attack its tail. Repeat this process until it is defeated.
Tips
  • Stock up on bombs and arrows before entering the dungeon.
  • The Roc's Feather is essential for navigating this dungeon, so make sure you have it equipped.
  • Pay attention to enemy patterns to defeat them more easily.
