    • Roll twice to the left and position yourself near the corner of the wall
    • When you hear the sound cue, use boots to the right
    • Equip Lantern over Boots and light his tail
    • Walk to the top left corner of the room

  • Phase 2
    • Dodge his sucking attack by walking to the right
    • Reflect a boulder
    • Walk back into the corner
    • Dodge his sucking attack by walking to the right
