'''Twilit Igniter: Fyrus''' (覚醒火炎獣 マグドフレイモス, ''Awoken Flame Beast: Magudofureimosu'') is [[Darbus|Darbus's]] possessed form that he assumed once the [[Fused Shadow]] took over his body. Due to his ferocity and inability to control himself from the mutation as well as causing destruction in the mines, the Goron elders locked him away deep inside them to prevent him from causing further damage. As with most bosses in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]], Link must first make Fyrus vulnerable and then attack his critical point repeatedly to defeat him. To do this, he will need the [[Hero's Bow]] and the [[Iron Boots]].

First, Link must attack the glowing jewel on his head with an arrow to momentarily stun him. He must then equip the Iron Boots and grab the end of one of the chains attached to his legs and pull. This will cause Fyrus to fall over. Afterward, the jewel on his forehead (his [[Critical Point|critical point]]) will be vulnerable and Link can attack with his sword. When Fyrus finally recovers, he will emit a wave of energy that can damage Link, so be sure to get as far away from him as possible after attacking.
===Physical Appearance===


Once Fyrus is defeated, the twilight matter from his altered form fuses into one piece, creating the second [[Fused Shadow]]. Link is able to look upon a confused Darbus as the [[Goron]] returns to his normal self, completely unaware of what had happened. Link is also awarded a [[Heart Container]] for his efforts.
Fyrus is a bipedal, humanoid monster. He has a dark body, large feet, and large hands with pointed fingertips. When Link first enters the chamber, Fyrus' body is completely opaque. When enraged, he envelops his body in flames and his skin appears charred. Fyrus' body flames go out only when he is vulnerable on the ground, during his [[Critical Point]]. Fyrus has a long, metallic-looking headdress as well, with a large eye-like gem in the center of his forehead. The headdress is ornately decorated with grooves and symbols. At the base of the headress, Fyrus has several small teeth. He has several small fangs and two long, boar-like mandibles on his lower jaw, as well. Fyrus is also significantly taller, darker, and lankier than Darbus.


===Mannerisms and Weak Points===


==Trivia==
Fyrus is aggressive in his battle with Link. When agitated, he screams loudly and repeatedly. Fyrus uses the chains that are attached to his wrists as whips and swipes at Link when he is nearby. Fyrus can make a circular wave of fire on the ground and blasts Link with fire from his mouth. Fyrus has difficulty walking on the magnetized floor in the room due to the large, metallic shackles on his ankles. The gem on his forehead is his weak spot. After Link shoots the gem with an {{Term|TP|Arrow|link}}, Fyrus recoils, covers the gem with his hands, and stomps around the chamber. Fyrus also appears to be heavy; the ground shakes when he falls over.  
*Fyrus was the first boss ever revealed for ''Twilight Princess''. He was present in the first trailer for the game, and is also the only boss fight in the game without a second round.
*Fyrus is similar in appearance to a [[wikipedia:balrog|Balrog]] from ''The Lord of the Rings''. In addition to this, the jewel on his head closely resembles the [[wikipedia:Eye of Sauron|Eye of Sauron]] at one point.

Fyrus is the Boss of the Goron Mines in Twilight Princess.[1] Fyrus contains the second piece of the Fused Shadow.

Biography

After an increase of volcanic activity in Death Mountain, Darbus, the patriarch of the Gorons, went into the Goron Mines to investigate the cause. The second piece of the Fused Shadow, which was entrusted to the Gorons by the Light Spirits, was kept safe deep in the mines. The Fused Shadow took over Darbus' body and transformed him into Fyrus.[2] Due to his ferocity and destructive tendencies, the Goron elders locked him away deep inside the Goron Mines.[3]

Characteristics

Physical Appearance

Fyrus is a bipedal, humanoid monster. He has a dark body, large feet, and large hands with pointed fingertips. When Link first enters the chamber, Fyrus' body is completely opaque. When enraged, he envelops his body in flames and his skin appears charred. Fyrus' body flames go out only when he is vulnerable on the ground, during his Critical Point. Fyrus has a long, metallic-looking headdress as well, with a large eye-like gem in the center of his forehead. The headdress is ornately decorated with grooves and symbols. At the base of the headress, Fyrus has several small teeth. He has several small fangs and two long, boar-like mandibles on his lower jaw, as well. Fyrus is also significantly taller, darker, and lankier than Darbus.

Mannerisms and Weak Points

Fyrus is aggressive in his battle with Link. When agitated, he screams loudly and repeatedly. Fyrus uses the chains that are attached to his wrists as whips and swipes at Link when he is nearby. Fyrus can make a circular wave of fire on the ground and blasts Link with fire from his mouth. Fyrus has difficulty walking on the magnetized floor in the room due to the large, metallic shackles on his ankles. The gem on his forehead is his weak spot. After Link shoots the gem with an Arrow, Fyrus recoils, covers the gem with his hands, and stomps around the chamber. Fyrus also appears to be heavy; the ground shakes when he falls over.

Hey! Did you see his forehead? I'm sensing some powerful magic coming out of that shining spot on his forehead...

That shining eye on his forehead is releasing some powerful magic. I bet if you shoot it with your bow, you might be able to weaken him!

Once Link shoots an Arrow at Fyrus's weak spot

Can't you use those chains around his ankle to stop him from moving around? He's all out of sorts! Now's your chance!

Once Link grabs one of Fyrus's chains

Look at the ground! Doesn't it look like the rocks you stuck to on your way here? If your feet keep slipping, why don't you try to stick them to the ground?

Once Fyrus falls to the ground

As soon as he collapses, you've got to go for his crystal eye!

Once Link strikes Fyrus's weak point with his Sword

Defeating something that big and burly isn't going to be easy. There you go! Keep doing that and then keep attacking that eye on his forehead!

When Link enters Fyrus's chamber, Fyrus is chained to the ceiling and floor with large shackles and long chains. He detects Link and the gem on his forehead lights up. Fyrus ignites, breaks free from the ceiling and floor, and lets out a loud scream. He chases Link around the room and attacks him with physical and fire-based attacks. Link shoots his gem with an Arrow from the Hero's Bow. Link equips the Iron Boots and grabs and pulls the end of one the chains bound to Fyrus' ankles. Fyrus falls over, which queues a Critical Point. Link attacks the gem with his Sword. Fyrus recovers and Link repeats this process two more times. In defeat, Fyrus stands back up, wails, and thrashes around the room. The gem on his forehead shines brightly. Fyrus covers the gem with his hands. After one last full-body stretch, the essence of Fused Shadow explodes from his body.

After defeating Fyrus, Link receives a Heart Container and the second piece of the Fused Shadow.

Unlike Diababa and Morpheel, the Fused Shadow appears to have only possessed and transfigured Darbus. Darbus appears confused[4] in the middle of the chamber, after the Fused Shadow leaves his body.
