Maren's Tip

Every enemy type has a weakness. Fire enemies melt with ice, ice enemies with fire. Gibdos are vulnerable to fire and lightning — stock those arrows!

Description

Keese Swarms are large groups of Keese that roost in cave ceilings and enclosed ruins. Individually they are trivial but a swarm of 10-15 surrounding Link can deal surprising DPS through continuous contact hits. Their main threat is in distraction during encounters with other enemies.

How to Beat Keese Swarm

Keese Swarms are best handled with a single Bomb Arrow detonated at the swarm center. Alternatively a Fire-fused weapon swing catches multiple Keese. Never let them surround Link — reposition with a sprint jump to force them to reaggregate before Bomb Arrow.
