To defeat her, it requires that you wait until she isn't charging you or is bursting with electricity. L-target her and leap onto her lower section. Keep a hold of the L button and repeatedly press A to bite her furiously. Repeat these steps a few more times and she will eventually fall into the water, lying on her back. Jump on her belly and use your energy field with [[Midna]]'s help to attack her six tentacles at the same time. Once they are all destroyed in the same instant, she will shrivel up and die.

What... What is that thing? I've never seen anything like it!

Ugh, I HATE creepy things like that! Do something, fast!

When the Twilit Bloat is flipped over

Ugh... I don't want to touch it!

H-Hey! While it's flipped over, jump on and punish it!

Once the Twilit Bloat is defeated

Hey! Hurry up and pick up the Tear of Light that it dropped!

Once Link obtains 15 Tears of Light in the Lanayru Province (11 in Twilight Princess HD), the Twilit Bloat will appear in Lake Hylia, holding the last Tear of Light.[2] Once encountered, Wolf Link must wait until the Twilit Bloat tries to ram into him with Electricity[3] and then dodge it. He must then Target it and leap onto its lower section in order to bite it. Link must repeat this process twice more until the Twilit Bloat falls into the water, lying on its back. The Twilit Bloat remains in this stunned position for roughly 25 seconds before it regains mobility. Thereafter, only one Jump Attack is needed to stun the Twilit Bloat again.

When stunned, the Twilit Bloat is visible to the naked eye. Link must jump onto its belly and use the energy field with Midna's help to attack its six tentacles at the same time. Once they are all destroyed, the Twilit Bloat will be defeated. This will release the last Tear of Light Link must collect, allowing him to return Light to Hyrule.
