Changes: Bombchu

Revision as of 21:26, 11 October 2014

Template:Boss Stagnox is the first boss in Spirit Tracks.^[1] She appears as a giant green and brown stag beetle with a purple abdomen. She is first fought in the Forest Temple, and is fought again in the Castle Town mini-game, Take 'Em All On!.

Strategy

At the start of the fight, Stagnox will be on the ground and will try to ram Link with its horn. He must run to its backside and use the Whirlwind to remove the gas which will allow him to attack its vulnerable backside. Eventually it will take flight and release Blastworms, creatures that revert to bombs when attacked. Link must hit them with his sword without detonating them and use the Whirlwind item to blow one of the Blastworms at Stagnox when it charges at him to flip the boss over, to once again leave itself vulnerable to attack.^[2]

Trivia

Stagnox's name is derived from "stag," as in a stag beetle, upon which it is based. The "nox"-part may be derived from noxious, meaning toxic, which may refer to the poison gas Stagnox's rear end is emitting.
Stagnox is the only boss in the game that appears four times.
Stagnox was the first boss revealed for Spirit Tracks, appearing in the first trailer.

+'''Stagnox''' is the first [[boss]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''.<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3176790 Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks (Nintendo DS)] from 1up</ref> She appears as a giant green and brown stag beetle with a purple abdomen. She is first fought in the [[Forest Temple (Spirit Tracks)|Forest Temple]], and is fought again in the [[Castle Town]] mini-game, [[Take 'Em All On!]].
-The '''Bombchu''' is a self-propelled variant of the [[Bomb]] featured in several games in {{LZS|Series}}. The name comes from the fact that it is an explosive ("Bomb") and the fact that it resembles a mouse ("chu" being a Japanese {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for the sound a mouse makes). The plural form of Bombchu can be either '''Bombchu'''<ref>{{Cite|You got 10 Bombchu!<br>Set them to (<), (>) or (v) on the<br>Select Item Screen.|N/A|MM}}</ref> or '''Bombchus'''.<ref>{{cite|I can't sell you Bombchus if you don't have a Bombchu bag.|Shopkeeper|PH}}</ref>

-===''Ocarina of Time''===
-Making their debut in {{OoT}}, Bombchu can crawl along walls and deliver explosive power to areas out of reach for regular bombs or other weapons. Though useful, they are not required to progress through the game.
+==Trivia==
-Like [[Bomb]]s, Link loses a Bombchu whenever he uses one, and must resupply his ammunition of Bombchu to continue using them. Unlike Bombs and most forms of ammunition, Bombchu can be much more difficult to replace, as they never appear from common locations such as broken [[jar]]s or slain [[enemy|enemies]]. They can nonetheless be found in several specific locations, including hidden [[treasure chest]]s in [[dungeon]]s, or any of the following:
+*Stagnox's name is derived from "stag," as in a stag beetle, upon which it is based. The "nox"-part may be derived from noxious, meaning toxic, which may refer to the poison gas Stagnox's rear end is emitting.
-* After finding 40 [[Gold Skulltula]] Tokens, [[Link]] can collect some Bombchu from the fourth son at the [[House of Skulltula]] in [[Kakariko Village]].
+*Stagnox is the only boss in the game that appears four times.
-* The [[Bombchu Bowling Alley]] will give out Bombchu as one of the random prizes Link wins if he wins the mini-game.
+*Stagnox was the first boss revealed for ''Spirit Tracks'', appearing in the first trailer.
-* There is a [[Bombchu Shop]] open at night in the Back Alley of [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]], although their stock is limited, and each item can only be bought once before selling out.<ref>{{Cite|This is a new type of bomb! It's available only in limited quantities, and when I'm sold out, that's it!|Bombchu Shop Proprietor|OoT}}</ref>
-* Bombchu can be bought from the [[Carpet Merchant]] on the flying carpet in the [[Haunted Wasteland]]. He sells packs of 10 Bombchu for 200 [[Rupee]]s.<ref>{{Cite|I am selling stuff, strange and rare, from all over the world to everybody. Today's special is... A dangerous, running object! Terrifying! I won't tell you what it is until I see the money.... How about 200 Rupees?|Carpet Merchant|OoT}}</ref>
-Despite the rarity of Bombchu, Link can hold up to 50 of them at a time. He cannot upgrade the maximum amount he can carry, unlike most forms of ammunition in the game.
-===''Majora's Mask''===
-[[File:Bombchu.png|left|80px]]
-Bombchu appear mostly the same as in ''Ocarina of Time''. However, {{MM}} also saw the introduction of [[Real Bombchu]], living creatures that resemble Bombchu and might have been the inspiration for the mechanical Bombchu. Although Bombchu are still not found as commonly as other ammunition, they are far easier to acquire in ''Majora's Mask'', thanks to the [[Bomb Shop#Majora's Mask|Bomb Shop]] in [[Clock Town]], which sells a pack of 10 Bombchu for 40 Rupees.
-Despite the larger prevalence of Bombchu, Link can now only carry 40 of them at a time, and has no way to increase his maximum capacity.
-===''Oracle'' Series===
-[[File:Bombchu OOX.png|left]]
-In {{OoA}} and {{OoS}}, Bombchu aesthetically appear similar to previous games, but have a distinctly different function. Instead of traveling in a straight line, the explosive will lock onto one target and follow that target until it impacts and explodes. If no enemy is present, the Bombchu will simply travel forward in a straight line.
-They can only be obtained in a [[Linked Game]] via the [[Linked Game/Secrets#Subrosian Secret|Subrosian Secret]] or the [[Linked Game/Secrets#Troy Secret|Troy Secret]].  Link can carry up to 99 Bombchu at once. Once obtained, [[Syrup]] will start selling packs of them at the price of 100 Rupees for 5 Bombchu.
-===''Twilight Princess''===
-[[File:Bombling.png|right|100px]]
-{{Main|Bombling}}
-There are no Bombchu by name in {{TP}}. There are, however, [[Bombling]]s, which serve a similar purpose. Bomblings function similarly to Bombchu in that when released, they will running in a straight line, or home in on an enemy if present, then explode on impact. Unlike Bombchu, they travel at a somewhat slower pace, and cannot climb walls.
-===''Phantom Hourglass''===
-[[File:Bombchu PH.png|left|50px]]
-[[File:Bombchu Path.png|right|thumb|Drawing the Bombchu path in ''Phantom Hourglass'']]
-In {{PH}}, Bombchu are found in the [[Goron Temple]]. They are the only items which can go through small holes in walls. When used, the map goes to the bottom screen so Link can draw the path that he wants the Bombchu to take. Link can move around at the same time as the Bombchu, which is required to solve certain puzzles.
-Bombchu do not automatically travel in a straight line nor home in on enemies, and travel at a noticeably slower pace. They can be used to scout areas ahead of Link, or even attack enemies around corners long before the enemies even notice Link's presence.
-''Phantom Hourglass'' marks the first time in which Bombchu are given their own [[Bombchu Bag]], as well as the first in which Link can increase his capacity of them. While initially only able to carry 10 Bombchu, acquiring two more Bombchu Bags enables him to carry up to 30. While they still appear often in shops, they can also now be found throughout the overworld much like other ammunition, such as inside jars.
-==Other Appearances==
-{{Future game}}
-{{Noncanon|start}}
-[[File:HW Bombchu.png|thumb|right|150px|Bombchu from ''Hyrule Warriors'']]
-===''Hyrule Warriors''===
-Bombchu appear in {{HW}} in a giant variation. Once obtained, they move in a set path. They can be use to destroy giant obstacles blocking the way<ref>[http://youtu.be/VHOOdOCSllI?t=2m9s Hyrule Warriors Reactions from SDCC]</ref> and can be used against the player as a weapon that must be destroyed before it can reach an allied base and self-destruct.
-===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''===
-Bombchu appear as explosive items in {{SSB4}}. Once thrown, they will follow their path until hitting a opponent, exploding upon impact.
