The Final Battle with Gruntilda
Location: Gruntilda's Lair
1ST MODE:
In the first mode Gruntilda simply tries to swoop at you. Dodge each swoop as she
tries to hit you. The broomstick dies out after a certain number of swoops. These
are:
1st Hit: 2nd Swoop
2nd Hit: 2nd Swoop
3rd Hit: 3rd Swoop
4th Hit: 4th Swoop
On completion of the 4th hit, she will use her magnet spell. Use your Invincibility
Technique to destroy the magnet spell.
2ND MODE:
After the magnet spell either hits you or you destroy it, Gruntilda will fly off
of the whole castle, float near the area with the grate, and shoot fireballs at you.
After she throws the 4th fireball, she takes a pause. Quickly jump up onto a ledge,
and throw an egg at her. 3 hits by eggs brings her to the next ledge going clockwise.
Watch out though, as the pause gets shorter and shorter until the final (4th) ledge,
when there is no pause. To hit her on the final ledge, move around so she throws
fireballs in diffrent directions, and quickly throw eggs at her. When you have hit
her for the 3rd time on the final ledge, she uses her magnet spell again. Do the
same thing you did earlier.
3RD MODE:
After that magnet spell, Gruntilda takes to the air. Use the flight pad Bottles gives
you, and use your Beak Bomb to hit her. After each hit, she throws fireballs at you.
On the 4th hit, she casts a spell that puts a shield around her. DO NOT try to hit
her with any of your attacks.
4TH MODE:
After a short time after casting the shield spell, Jinjo Statues will appear, saying
to activate them. IMPORTANT: Gruntilda's fireballs can predict where youre going.
To avoid this, stand still until she fires a fireball, then move quickly. Youll never
get hit if you keep doing this. Now, to activate the Jinjo Statues, fire two eggs
into each of the holes on them. There is only one on each. If you have fired two,
the statue will crumble apart, the jinjo will be free, and it will attack Gruntilda.
Go to the next one until you have activated all 4 jinjo statues.
FINAL MODE:
Hope youve learned how to avoid the fireballs. Keep avoiding them until the Giant
Jinjo Statue appears. DO NOT try to activate the statue while Grunty is firing fireballs.
Instead, wait until she tries her Magnet Spell. Destroy the spell, then activate
one part of the whole statue. It takes two eggs to activate one part, and youll know
its been activated since the hole closes up after the second egg. Activate all 4
parts of the Giant Jinjo and he will be free. He will then attack Gruntilda until
she is finally crushed by a rock. She isn't dead though, but she says she will be
back in Banjo-Tooie. Ignore that, that you will face at a later time. For now, you
have beaten the whole game. Mumbo will give you something in the credits if you have
gotten all 100 jigsaw pieces tho
