The last insect should be around here...

I get a weird feeling about this place... Don't let your guard down.

Once the Twilit Bloat appears

What?

Once Link sees the Twilit Bloat using his Senses

What... What is that thing? I've never seen anything like it!

Ugh, I HATE creepy things like that! Do something, fast!

When the Twilit Bloat is flipped over

Ugh... I don't want to touch it!

H-Hey! While it's flipped over, jump on and punish it!

Once the Twilit Bloat is defeated

Hey! Hurry up and pick up the Tear of Light that it dropped!

Once Link obtains 15 Tears of Light in the Lanayru Province (11 in Twilight Princess HD), the Twilit Bloat will appear in Lake Hylia, holding the last Tear of Light.[1] Once encountered, Wolf Link must wait until the Twilit Bloat tries to ram into him with electricity[2] and then dodge it. He must then target it and leap onto its lower section in order to bite it. Link must repeat this process twice more until the Twilit Bloat falls into the water, lying on its back. At this point, he must jump onto its belly and use the energy field with Midna's help to attack its six tentacles at the same time. Once they are all destroyed, the Twilit Bloat will be defeated. This will release the last Tear of Light Link must collect, allowing him to return light to Hyrule.

Trivia[]

  • The Twilit Bloat resembles a type of sea crustacean known as a Giant Isopod.
