Garo Master

"Die I shall, leaving no corpse. That is the law of us Garo."

- Garo Master, upon his demise

The Garo Master is a Garo general and a deadly assassin, making its first appearance in Majora's Mask. It will rush to Link with its sabers outright, but shielding or sidestepping can force back its blows. To kill it, Link must stun it with the Hookshot, Deku Nut, or any other projectile, and then attack it with his sword. Another strategy is to just avoid its attacks and strike it when its guard is down. It has the nasty habit of disappearing sometimes after an attack. When this happens, it is advised to run away as it will drop from the ceiling and attack. If Link strikes it, he must immediately guard since he will launch a lightning-fast counter-attack. There are two types of Garo Masters, one with ice enchanted blades, and the other with flaming blades. When defeated, he will pull out a bomb and commit a form of seppuku, blowing himself up. It is fought in three places: Stone Tower Temple, in the Secret Shrine and in the Twinmold area of The Moon.
