Helmasaur King

Where it is

From the official guides

Helmasaur King guards its weak spot with a hard mask, so as it is you can't beat it. First you have to break the mask, but telling you how would spoil the fun, so we'll only say there are two ways to break it. Once the mask is off, hit the weak spot on its forehead with the sword or the bow.

A smug boss in an iron mask. Its weapons are the fireballs from its mouth and a whip-like tail it shows now and then. It seems you cannot hurt it at all until the mask breaks. Break the mask with bombs and attack the face.

The Helmasaur King has a mysterious air. It spits fireballs that split and lashes with its quick whip of a tail. When it starts acting strange, back off into a corner of the screen. To beat it you must break the iron mask. Use the Hammer you just got and bombs to clear the mask right off. Then just attack the bare forehead.
