This gargantuan version of the little Helmasaurs that populated the rest of the Dark Palace won't be taken down quite as easily. In addition to the damge that he can inflict upon you with his claws and face, he has a massive tail that he can swing and extend in front of him in order to strike his opponents. You must watch his position and his tail. He can also spit deadly fireballs at you that break apart and scatter. He enters brief periods of immobility, giving you ample opportunity to attack. But how will you manage to damage him with the thick, skull-like helmet protecting his forehead? With the Hammer. You'll need to chip away at that mask piece by piece. As you do, he will continue to attack, especially with his tail. He will swing the tail back and forth just before he is about to attack. If you have plenty of health, then focus on hitting his head. If you are running low, play a little more cautiously with hit and run tactics. Eventually, his mask will completely break apart, revealing his weak point, the green crystal in his forehead. A few well placed slashes to the crystal with your sword will do King Helmasaur in completely. He will leave behind a [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Heart Container.png]] '''Heart Container'''. Once you collect it, the very first Crystal Maiden will appear for you to collect and learn from. | This gargantuan version of the little Helmasaurs that populated the rest of the Dark Palace won't be taken down quite as easily.

If you are running low, play a little more cautiously with hit and run tactics. If you figure out the Helmasaur's movement pattern, you can also use Bombs.

A few well placed slashes to the crystal with your sword will do King Helmasaur in completely. If your aim is true, you can also try your luck with the bow at a relatively close range - a quick volley of arrows can be devastating.
