Cut-Scene 1:
Ryo and Tael travel into the room. Ryo immediately notices that his boots are sticking to the mushy ground. His face expresses his disgust, but he says nothing. Tael flutters around, noticing bomb flowers growing on the sides of thick trees. The whole place is a ring-like marshland with a pool of poisonous water in the center. In the middle of that water is a huge blue blossom that's closed up. Ryo tilts his head and walks forward, trying to get a closer look at that blossom... but instead, he gets a big surprise...

The ground rumbles horrificly and an enormous Deku Baba plows upwards from the mud with a roar. It lowers its eyeless head to face Ryo. The battle begins...

How To Defeat:
Bonba currently consists of a single Baba head. You can take advantage of this by staying out of its range. However, by doing this, you won't make it open for your attacks, so it's time to do what Ryo would do and get into the fray. If Bonba attempts to just Bite you, you're too far away. Wait for it to rear back before trying to Slam-Bite you. When it rears back, start running away. It'll slam its head into the sticky mud. Use your sword on its stem to cause it damage. The only reason why it works so well is because the sword is engulfed in flames. Flames on plants... makes sense. Preform this until the next cut-scene occurs.

Cut-Scene 2:
Bonba lifts straight up, moaning and screeching. It pulls itself into the mud and seems to disappear. However, another Baba head errupts from the muck nearby in the battle field with a roar.

How to Defeat (Continued):
Just like the first Baba head, You must cause it to impale itself in the sticky mud so you can slash its stem. After doing this repeat, a similar cut-scene will occur. However, instead of one more Baba head, <i>two</i> emerge on the other side of the battle field. Go and do to them what you did to the first two. However, this is a bit more dangerous. With two in the battle field, you have to make sure that the one you're not targeting isn't going to pull a fast one on you; if you're not watching, it will. When you get rid of one of the two, then deal with the other like the original two in a one-on-one match.

Cut-Scene 3:
The fourth Baba head sinks down into the mud like the other three. Suddenly, the blossom lowers the pettles and reveals a stalk with an eye in it, covered with eyelid-like leaves. It stares at Ryo in shock, as if horrified that the Babas were defeated. The leaves close up over the eye and the blossum lifts its pettles again. The ground shakes and the water ripples. Suddenly, the whole flower lifts up into the air, supported by four roots. Ryo's eyes narrow... those roots look familiar... Suddenly, the roots pull upwards and the Deku Baba heads are attached to the bottoms of the roots! Those roots were the Baba head's stems! Now Ryo has four angry Babas to deal with, plus a gigantic bulb with an eye in it!

How to Defeat (Continued):
Right now, your sword is rather useless, so go ahead and sheath that. In fact, it's better that you do anyway. You'll see why in a minute. Bonba may be hard to reach for you, but you're not out of reach to it. The heads closest to you will try to Bite you, so run away if they do. Now would be a good time to bring out Farore's Wing. While keeping an eye on those Baba heads, target a bombflower, then target a head. Throw the boomerang and it'll grab the bomb (and also light it) and then take it to the targeted head. The head will eat the bomb and get an exploding candy! It'll faint instantly, giving Bonba a blind spot in its attacks. Repeat with the other three heads.

Once this is accomplished, the bulb will crash to the ground but is still not open. Target the bulb with the boomerang, and Ryo will throw it in a virtical path. It'll go down and hit the eye-stalk. With pain like that, the bulb's pettles lower, acting like a bridge. Run to the stunned eye-stalk and smash it with your sword. You can hit it up to 5 times before it recovers, but better go with 3 hits instead - that way, you won't get caught in its Spore attack. If you're still on the pettles, Bonba will lift them up with you inside and intoxicate you with Spores before spitting you back out. Either way, you must repeat the process.

When you hit it at least 7 times, Bonba will start including Slam-Bite in its forms of attacks, signalling that you're progressing in the fight. When it uses Slam-Bite, treat it like the previous stage and hack on its stem. When you've hit it at least 7 more times, It'll occassionally spin with its Baba heads out like four flails, being the DeathRoll attack. You cannot block or counter this attack, so use Ryo's Crouch/Crawl ability that can only be used when he's not holding his sword. Do this and the attack will just soar over you. No matter how you get through this fight, you'll end it the same way - hit the eye-stalk for the final few times and watch it die.

Cut Scene 4:
The eye-stalk suddenly bursts into flames after being hit by Ryo's fire sword so often. It begins to shrivel up, not being able to handle the heat... Ryo runs away from the eye-stalk, for the bulb begins to close. He's met immediately by the Baba heads again. This time, they all try to Slam-Bite him as he gets within range, but giving their stems a final chop, the heads are severed from their host body. The head shrivel up and die. While Ryo is doing this, the pettles fade in color and suddenly catch fire as well, for the eye-stalk's fire is spreading through its body. The pettles burn away in enormous orange flames. The fire even travels down the limp stems and catch the poison water on fire! Ryo's eyes widen as he wonders, what on earth IS that toxin? The fire eventually dies away, showing purer water. The body of Bonba wavers in the air, then crashes into the water with a huge KA-BOOM!!

Flying out of that explosion is a strange creature... A Babble (or "Bubble") with three eyes and ghastly white whisps of flame staggers around!

How to Defeat (Continued):
Use Farore's Wing to knock the flames off of the winged skull and then hit it with your sword to kill it.

Cut Scene 5:
The Ghost Babble falls to pieces. Suddenly the "purer" water because absolutely pure. The whole flow of water loses its toxic substance. The Deku Babas and Mad Scrubs in the Kokiri Forest suddenly die away. Even the Skulltulas shrivel and burn in blue fire. The curse upon the forest has been broken! Just then, a swirling of wind concentrates on the center of the pool of water. Ryo steps into it and light pulses through his body. He glows with white light and suddenly vanishes! - Returning to the enterance of the Forest Fortress, He finds Zelda waiting for him there.

Amazing! I can almost see Bonba, which seems to be a tough boss by the way. You could even improve it by posting a drawing of it. Have you already thought of creating video games later?

[Ryo]

I do have a drawing of Bonba, actually.

I was hoping to get schooling in Computer Graphics and Video Game design, to say the truth. "The Legend of Zelda: Child of the Triforce" is both a game idea and a story idea - Ryukenden Atrineas' official story.
