Temple of Droplets

Big Octorok Strategy

There is a manipulation possible for Big Octo to always get 0 ink on the third phase.

Without manipulations, here is how the fight can go:

1st phase: Octo will always shoot boulders at you until he's hit 3 times.

2nd phase: the pattern is suck, boulder, suck, boulder, boulder and repeats that pattern until he's hit 3 times.

On his 3rd phase, it's completely RNG based:

• Before it performs each attack pattern it will have a 25% change to charge attack the wall making rocks fall, this can chain multiple charges together.

• Octo has 3 attack patterns to choose from:

A) Rock>Move>Rock>Ink

B) Suck>Move>Rock>Ink

C) Rock>Move>Rock>Move>Rock

• When deciding what to do, octo will select a random pattern from the following list: [A, B1, C, B2].
  (B1 and B2 are both pattern B but numbered for clarity). Octo will never select the same entry in this list twice in a row (at the start of this phase it pretends the last pattern was A), if it randomly selects the same pattern as the previous cycle then it will select the next entry in the sequence instead (If B2 is selected it wraps back to A).

• The following Chart shows the probabilities of each pattern at each stage of the fight.
