Phases
General
- Moldorm will do the following repeating pattern:
- Rotate (31-63f) -> Walk straight (15-23f) -> Rotate (31-63f) -> Walk straight (15-23f) -> Face Link -> Walk straight (48f).
- If you hit Moldorm during one of these phases, he will go on to the next one when he's not stunned anymore.
- If he hits an edge or a wall, he will change his direction 180 degrees (but keep rotating the same way).
- When 2 or less hp, the AI works exactly the same, but the speeds are increased (with around 33% - it depends on the exact direction he is facing).
Walk straight
Moldorm keeps moving straight with no rotations.
- After a Rotate, he will walk for 15-23 frames.
- After a Face Link, he will walk for 48 frames.
Rotate
- Rotates either clockwise or anti-clockwise (which is determined at random every time) for 31 to 63 frames.
Face Link
- If he's not facing Link already, he will change direction towards Link by 22.5 degrees every 4th frame, until he's facing Link.
- When he's facing Link, he jumps to "Walk straight" for 48 frames.
Strategy
- Only the head from Moldorm can hit you.
- You can only hurt him on the end of his tail.
- Two main methods:
- 1. Load your sword in between hits, stand a few tiles from him, and time a dash onto his tail, hitting him just as he gets vulnerable.
- This is usually best to do horizontally, since there is a smaller chance you will get hit dashing through his head horizontally.
- 2. Stand behind Moldorm and move along the path the head takes.
- Example: If he's facing left, and starts moving clockwise, you will follow him < then ^ and slash his tail v.
- If Moldorm is near an edge/wall, you might want to do method 1, since his movement will be hard to predict if he hits the edge/wall.
- You could also stand 3-4 tiles away (enough that he can't insta-180 and hit you) and wait until it's safer to move in on the tail.
- For the last hit, when he starts moving fast, most people try to kill him with a dash.
- It is possible to predict what Moldorm will do by understanding his pattern of phases.
- For example, if you hit him while he's lunging towards Link, he will always respond by rotating for at least 31 frames.
- If you dash into his arena and Moldorm is there, you will bounce back to the top level again. This can cause Link to fall down to the floor below, if you're holding any dpad buttons. So make sure you don't touch your dpad while dashing into his arena, if you think you might jump right onto Moldorm.
- If you like dashing as a default, concider walking/quickhopping if Moldorm is near the bottom part of the arena, to completely avoid this. You risk taking a heart of damage by doing this, but won't lose time to bouncing back (which often repeats itself when you try again).
Damage:
- The level 1 sword needs 6 hits to defeat him.
- The level 3 sword needs 3 hits to defeat him.
- The hammer needs 3 hits to defeat him.
