Fyrus

Template:Boss Twilit Igniter: Fyrus (覚醒火炎獣 マグドフレイモス, Awoken Flame Beast: Magudofureimosu) is 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 the Goron Mines to prevent him from causing further damage. As with most bosses in the 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) 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.

An alternate way to defeat him is to shoot him in the eye-gem and then wait until he calms down, then shoot him again, and repeat. Eventualy he will fall down and he can be instantly killed with the finishing blow. This stratagy takes longer and uses more arrows.

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.

Trivia

• Fyrus was the first boss ever revealed for Twilight Princess, he was present in the first trailer for the game.
• Fyrus is similar in appearance to a Balrog from The Lord of the Rings. In addition to this, the jewel on his head closely resembles the Eye of Sauron at one point.
• The strange, boar-like helm on Fyrus's head resembles that of Ganon's face.
• Fyrus is the only boss in Twilight Princess to have only one phase in his battle. All of the other bosses have two or more.
• Fyrus is also the only Fused Shadow boss that does not completely dematerialize into twilight matter after defeat. This may be because he is a sentient being, whilst almost all the other bosses were versions of normal enemies found in the game which became mutated by the power of the fused Shadow (and, later, the Mirror Shards).
