Hints
King Dodongo is an ancient beast. I hear he's always hungry, and he'll eat anything he can fit in his mouth! That, um, includes you. And look at his scales! They're hard as rock! What are we supposed to do against this guy?!

When Darunia said, "ancient beast," I bet he meant King Dodongo! I hear he's always hungry, and he'll eat anything he can fit in his mouth! That, um, includes you. Hey, do you think maybe he'd chow down on a bomb if he had the chance?

King Dodongo...is an ex-ancient beast now. There's a lesson here about not eating everything you see. Or maybe it's just a lesson not to chow down on bombs.

Once a Baby Dodongo has prey—that's you—in its sights, it'll hurl itself straight at it! Be careful! When it's injured, the gas in its belly explodes. Do your best to stay clear!
